Writing about the climate crisis My slow awakening to climate change Climate sceptics answered: | TLW replies I’m surprised that you don’t know that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has considered other causes for warming than CO2 concentrations. That you seem to question whether global warming is occurring at all strikes me as a bold position to take. On what basis would you suggest that mean surface temperatures are reducing or remaining constant? Your view that we can no longer trust scientists, including our most esteemed academies and institutions, because they lie to get funding, is a very depressing thought to entertain. Given your stated interest in higher standards of scientific rigour and accountability, can we assume that the National Center for Public Policy Research, which you cite, is the kind of honest broker to whom we should turn to get a fair picture? Fortunately you provide their internet address so people can judge for themselves. I’m afraid that something about these kind of web sites reminds me of the eras of tobacco, tereathyl lead and CFCs. Regarding the cost of sequestering carbon dioxide emissions, it all depends whether or not you accept that those emissions are leading to global warming. If you do, then the costs of not taking action, as recently outlined by the report of Sir Nicholas Stern, outweigh more than five to one, the costs of business as usual. Tim Lloyd Wright | ||||
