Warmists Examined
Topics: Climate Change, Global Warming, Political News and commentariesFrom a press release on Australian Financial Review writer Mark Lawson's new book, A Guide to Climate Change Lunacy (Hat tip - im Blair):
... efforts to cut emissions are a waste of time and money. The economic case for cutting emissions relies on morals, not on economics, and the major proposed means of cutting emissions, carbon trading and wind energy, have never been shown to be effective. To top it all off, an enforceable international agreement with strict limits on emissions is nothing more than a green fantasy. If any of the dire temperature projections issued by the IPCC are to be taken seriously then mitigation - preparing for rising seas and higher temperatures - is the only solution. For their own reasons the government and the green movement has never shown any interest in that approach.Lawson's book will be launched next month by Professor Ian Plimer.But can we rely on the temperature projections? As the book also shows, despite many public statements by distinguished scientists, those much vaunted projections are a commercial forecasting exercise, not a scientific one at all. As a starting point the projections of the amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere involves economics just as much as science, and there is evidence that those projections have been badly mishandled.
