From FOXNews comes the opinion of a member of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. According to him many scientists do not see global warming as a developing catastrophe and there is no smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for the warming that does occur.
John Christy, the director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, says he cringes when he hears 100-year weather forecasts when it is incredibly difficult to accurately predict the weather five days from now. Anyone who listens to their local weather person can vouch for that. Weather forecasting is about as accurate as fortune telling.
Christy wrote in The Wall Street Journal, "Mother Nature simply operates at a level of complexity that is, at this point, beyond the mastery of mere mortals (such as scientists) and the tools available to us."
He also points out that a recent CNN report on climate change made much of the shrinking Arctic sea ice cover, but did not mention that winter sea ice around Antarctica set a record maximum last month. CNN loves to spin the liberal party line so it comes as no surprise as to how they present their version of news.
