"Science has always progressed on the basis of observations, experiments, and thoughts published by individual scientist and sometimes pairs or small groups of scientific co-workers," remarked Professor Robinson on his thoughts about the scientific process. "A few of these published articles are especially valuable; a greater number, while not remarkable, provide relative mundane studies that add to the infrastructure of science; many are not useful at all; and some are completely wrong. As individual scientist read these articles, they use their own wisdom, knowledge, and judgment to separate new information that they find valuable from information that they find of no use," continues Prof. Robinson, "Always, scientific progress is a result of a large number of individual decisions that trend in a specific direction." Please note, nowhere in the previous statement did you hear panic, hysteria, or any prophecies of ecological doom. To me, this is how science should work, approaching the problem with calm, rationale thought, and observation, not borderline pandemonium. Unfortunately the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a department of the United Nations doesn't follow this process. This branch of the U.N. which is composed of about 600 scientists also has citied that many of its goals are; to eliminate HIV/AIDS, achieve universal primary education, reduce child deaths, eradicate hunger and poverty, and promote equal rights among genders. Of the 600 scientist a select few meet in committee, going over data pertaining to weather patterns, and future weather predictions, taking what's useful and discarding what doesn't fit their agenda, then presenting it to the rest of the IPCC as "settled science". "In the present case in which United Nations apparatchicks have proclaimed that human activity is catastrophically warming the planet, the human cost of error is so great than many other scientists have become motivated to individually examine the evidence. Now, a total of more than 9,000 Americans with Ph.Ds in science and therefore professional educational credentials that, on average, equal or surpass the United Nations 600-and a total of more than 31,000 Americans with at least B.S. degrees in science have signed a petition to the U.S. government specifically rejecting the United Nations claim that human use of hydrocarbon energy is injuring the climate," stated Prof. Robinson. And of Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth", Prof. Robinson comments that "Unfortunately, Mr. Gore's movie contains many very serious incorrect claims which no informed, honest scientist could endorse." Even the late Professor Frederick Seitz the last president of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and who also won the National Medal of Science had this to so about Global Warming "Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful." So until these climate change scientist can prove to the rest of the world, with hard irrefutable evidence linking human activity to Global Warming, I will continue to view this as I always have, a very clever scam by the U.N. to appropriate more money, and exert more control over world governments. I'm sure there are some bleeding-heart types who will read this and ask, "What's wrong with giving more money to the IPCC? The U.N. is trying to help third world nations to catch up with the rest of the developed world. What's wrong with having a heart?" Let me just say that there is nothing wrong with helping people who don't have a little more, and there's nothing wrong with having a heart. However, it's those people who have a heart and give, and give, with no accountability expected from those countries whose people they are trying to help that I have a problem with. To me that kind of attitude represents naive thinking at its worst. These are the same people who's Hands Across America and songs like We Are the World raised millions upon millions of dollars….and accomplished absolutely nothing. Except perhaps to make those people who have a heart feel a little better about themselves. As for the food those millions of dollars purchased? Very little actually went to those who needed it most, but instead went the militias and military units of those feminine stricken countries. What little food did reach those poor people was just barely enough to keep them alive for a short while. All that effort and all that was accomplished was a meager stay of execution. My point is that, so long as you have third world countries governed by despot rulers, military juntas, or influenced by drug cartels, then all the money in the world will not make a difference. And yet the United Nations is pushing for a Global Warming tax to help fund the IPCC's efforts to modernize underdeveloped nations. Apparently the money the U.N. gets through its membership dues is not enough to fund the IPCC's endeavors. So instead of asking its' members for more money, they create an artificial crisis, with Al Gore as an able bodied spokesperson.
