Top Rocket Scientist: No Evidence CO2 Causes Global Warming
infowars.com — The campaign to force people to accept that “the debate is over” and that man-made CO2 emissions are driving climate change is in deep trouble, with another top global warming advocate - rocket scientist and carbon accounting expert Dr. Richard Evans - completely reversing his position.

Free market thinking. I think this may have given me hope for this country yet.
I rather be brown than green. If you are green, you are most likely wasting water, morons! - IrishJoe, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3I don’t know if this “rocket scientist” is right or wrong, but one thing I do know and that is that rocket scientists are not climatologists. You might have as well have said Top Herpetologist says No Evidence of String Theory. Not that there is any. But this is part of the mentally deficient idea that all science is one branch of study and someone who has a PhD in one science can make pronouncements in an entirely different branch with complete credibility. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the imbecility of that.
- greenfyre, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Evans has been a skeptic for years, when are you Deniers going to stop announcing the 'defection' of the same people over and over?
Oh, and now he is a "top rocket scientist"? How long was he with NASA? Oh, he was with the _Australian_ space program. I see
And wouldn't a climatologist be more impressive?
Anyway
"The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it. "
We're supposed to take his word for it? Excuse me if I prefer the piece at http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008 ... since it offers the references and links and walks us through the actual reasoning.
See especially the discussion following the piece as it is where people challenge the arguement and bring in a lot of other relevant science.
Point 2 is disingeuous. What does he consider "evidence" He is in disagreement with pretty much the whole scientific community, so just what does he mean by evidence?
3) "The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say that the warming trend ended in 2001"
By the same logic it also stopped in 1973, 1983, and 1990 http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/nhsh ... Each peak year has been followed by a slightly cooler period (look at the data).
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record. http://www.eoearth.org/article/Global_warming
"Top 11 Warmest Years On Record Have All Been In Last 13 Years"
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/07121 ...
And the first six months of 2008 were the ninth warmest since record keeping began in 1880, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center reported. http://green.yahoo.com/news/ap/20080716/ap_on_sc/s ... http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ap/ap_on_sc/story ...
4) "yet Al Gore made his movie in"
I thought this was supposed to be about the science? wtf cares what Al Gore said ... is the science right or not?
It all boils down to his claim that CO2 is not the cause. He is out of synch with the rest of science
