“The planet is not in danger of catastrophic man made global warming. Even if we burn the entire world's recoverable fossil fuels it will still only result in a temperature rise of less than 1.2 degrees C. So say The Right Climate Stuff Research Team, a group of retired NASA Apollo scientists and engineers--the men who put Neil Armstrong on the moon--in a new report. ‘It’s an embarrassment to those of us who put NASA’s name on the map to have people like James Hansen popping off about global warming,’ says the project’s leader Hal Doiron. Doiron was one of 40 ex NASA employees--including seven astronauts--who wrote in April 2012 to NASA administrator Charles Bolden protesting about the organization’s promotion of climate change alarmism, notably via its resident environmental activist James Hansen. During his stint as head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Hansen tirelessly promoted Anthropogenic Global Warming theory. He retired last year to spend more time on environmental campaigning ... Doiron is similarly skeptical of the computer models used by climate alarmists. He and his team argue that the 105 models currently used by the IPCC are seriously flawed because they don’t agree with each other and don’t agree with empirical data. There is no empirical data indicating Anthropogenic Global Warming will produce catastrophic climate changes. AGW can only produce modest global warming, likely to be beneficial when CO2 benefits to crop production are considered. Doiron says: ‘I believe in computer models. My whole career was about using computer models to make life or death decisions. In 1963 I had to use them to calculate whether, when the lunar module landed on a 12 degree slope it would fall over or not - and design the landing gear accordingly. But if you can't validate the models--and the IPCC can’t--then don't use them to make critical decisions about the economy and the planet's future.’” (“Earth Is Safe,” BreitBart.com, Mar. 8, 2014) Comments are closed.
