Global warming 'is good and is not our fault'

Global warming 'is good and is not our fault'

Quote:
Global warming is an entirely natural phenomenon and its effects can even be beneficial, according to two leading researchers.

Recent climate change is not caused by man-made pollution, but is instead part of a 1,500-year cycle of warming and cooling that has happened for the last million years, say the authors of a controversial study.

Dennis Avery, an environmental economist, and Professor Fred Singer, a physicist, have looked at the work of more than 500 scientists and concluded that it is very doubtful that man-made global warming exists.

They also say that temperature increase is actually a good thing as in the past sudden cool periods have killed twice as many people as warm spells.

Is it really a "fault" if it's good?

Of course not. That is why it is NOT our fault.   Wink

Hi All,
Err, given the last few years temperature stasis, isn't the real issue,
we are "preparing" for warming when it's going to be cooling...

That could be far far worse, surely.

NB - This worked on my first post... Wink
Who put that advert in, NOT ME.
-  Embarassed  Just realised adverts are put on automatically, to the last post in a thread....I think.
(If it helps pay for the forum, it's OK by me.)

It's a free forum and the ads are the "price you pay".

I have the book in question.It is worth purchasing as it has a good footnote listing of the many papers cited in the book.

The information in the book appears compelling to support the statement of a 1,500 year cycle.

You can always read the reviews at Amazon books.
