SBC's imaginary climate consensus continues to crumble

Russ Steele

In the KVMR discussion on AB32/Prop23 Steven Frisch, Sierra Business Council President. claimed a consensus among 97% of climate scientist that humans were causing global warming.

Other have been blinded by similar claims by environmentalist and IPCC Assessment Report lead authors with an agenda, including Presidents and Chancellor’s

To help Honorable Madam Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, understand there is no consensus and that human generated CO2 has no measurable effect on global warming 130 German Scientist have published an open letter to the Chancellor.

To help Steven Frisch and his environmentalist friends understand there is no consensus and that humans are not responsible for global warming, and that AB32 is based on bad science here are the key points in the German Scientist letter:

1. Information known before the IPCC was founded shows that human CO2 emissions have no measurable effect on global warming.
2. The atmosphere has not warmed in the last 10 years and has cooled significantly since 2003.
3. The expensive IPCC climate models predicted steady warming but the opposite has occurred.
4. Growing evidence continues to show human CO2 plays no measurable role in climate change.
5. If all fossil fuels were burned, the additional long-term warming would not exceed a few tenths of a degree.
6. The IPCC has been aware of this fact but has completely ignored it.
7. As a result, the IPCC has lost its scientific credibility.
8. The belief in manmade climate change has become a pseudo-religion.
9. The Second International Conference on Climate Change in NY March 2009 was attended by approximately 800 leading scientists, some of whom are among the world's best climatologists.
10. The media has virtually ignored the results of this Conference.

This letter has been published at Climate Physiscs along with a list of the German Scientists that have signed or endorsed the letter.  It is becoming clearer and clearer that AB32, Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 is based on bad science.  While it is impossible to redo AB32 with real science, it is possible to delay the damage by VOTING YES on PROP 23.
