Global warming quote of the day

July 22nd, 2008, 5:17 pm · 9 Comments · posted by Mark Landsbaum

Today’s global warming quote of the day comes from a guy who actually understands climate science, as opposed to, say, a guy who won an Oscar for a PowerPoint presentation:

“In conclusion, I am predicting today that the theory that mankind is mostly responsible for global warming will slowly fade away in the coming years, as will the warming itself, and I trust you would agree, Madam Chair, that such a result deserves to be greeted with relief.” - Dr. Roy Spencer, climatologist and scientist, formerly with NASA, now at University of Alabama at Huntsville, testifying before Senator Barbara Boxer’s committee on climate change research.

    It seems to me that Dr. Roy Spencer has impeccable credentials. Unfortunately, when global warming begins to fade, it won’t be enough for the global warming alarmists. Hopefully the general public will begin to see that global warming has not been man induced, and the debate on carbon emissions will begin to fade as the U.S. begins to cope with its increasing energy needs.

    The “global warming” theory vs fact war has already been won - by the “factists”. They changed the name of the battle to “climate change” in the media, so that if warming continues, or slows, or stops, or cooling begins it all falls into the “climate change” category and they can continue ad naseum.

    One thing for “Lizard”: If you are so concerned about the impact of the coming disaster, why are you living in the soon-to-be-ocean reach of the ever-growing Pacific? I suggest you move close to, oh, Nashville, where The Goralce lives. Must be safer there. Watch out for the zinc mine.

  • Lizard says:

    Arcospark, are you sure you know where I live?

    Also, do you get that some of us are not motivated purely by self-interest? ….No, you probably don’t. Never mind!

  • All of you are missing the fact that it is widely acknowledged that the planet has been cooling since 2001. The so called climate “scientists” are trying to say that there is still underlying global warming that will eventually be back. You can never win against a psuedo science that constantly adjusts itself to meet whatever it sees next.

  • Professor W says:

    Ah yes, Roy Spencer. The same person who said “We have now had at least six years without warming”, ignoring the fact that the 10 warmest years on record have occured since 1995 (NOAA). Roy Spencer, a regular on Rush Limbaugh, who also believes in intelligent design. .

    Nice source…
