The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. -- H.L. Mencken Steve Are most scientists conspiring with the politicians to fool us about global warming? MJ Huh? Three of the world's most respected climatologists (Thomas Karl, Kirby Hanson, and George Maul of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) recently reviewed the best climate data available anywhere in the world -- that for the contiguous United States. They concluded: There is no statistically significant evidence of an ... increase in annual temperature or change in annual precipitation for the contiguous U.S. 1895-1987. The researchers continued If there is a greenhouse effect, you can't find it in the U.S. records. Temperature data from other parts of the world are incomplete and fragmentary, but the law of large numbers suggests a sample as large as the continental U.S. may accurately reflect global temperature trends. Also contradicting the global-warming theory is the fact that most of the twentieth-century's warming occurred by 1938, well before the steep rise in carbon-dioxide concentration. From 1938 to 1970 temperatures plunged so sharply that a new ice age was being widely forecast, even by Steven Schneider, father -- or at least chief guru -- of global warming. Perhaps most significant are studies that document a relative rise in nocturnal temperatures in the United States over the past sixty years, even while daytime temperatures remained constant or declined. The consequences of this, environmental scientist Patrick Michaels of the University of Virginia has pointed out, are actually beneficial: a longer growing season, fewer frosts, and no increase in soil evaporation. Perhaps you confuse MODELS with the ACTUAL DATA. Regard$, --MJ If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day 1970. ------------------------ Yahoo!
