Patrick Moore, Greenpeace Co-Founder, Says No Scientific Proof Climate Change Is Caused By Humans
Canadian ecologist Patrick Moore, known as one of the co-founders of the activist group Greenpeace, has a history of sharply dissenting from policies supported by major environmental groups, including the one he helped create. Moores latest departure is to assert that climate change, particularly the gradual warming of Earths surface temperature over the last century, is not caused by humans.
There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earths atmosphere over the past 100 years, Moore said during an appearance before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Tuesday. If there were such a proof it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists.
Moore argued that the sophisticated computer models scientists use to predict patterns in global climate are not a crystal ball. He maintained that the claim by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that humans are extremely likely to be the dominant cause of global warming since the mid-20th century is bogus, given that the scale used to measure probability was constructed by IPCC members themselves.
Perhaps the simplest way to expose the fallacy of extreme certainty is to look at the historical record. When modern life evolved over 500 million years ago, CO2 was more than 10 times higher than today, yet life flourished at this time. Then an ice age occurred 450 million years ago when CO2 was 10 times higher than today. There is some correlation, but little evidence, to support a direct causal relationship between CO2 and global temperature through the millennia, Moore argued.
Moore said this fundamentally contradicts the notion that mans CO2 emissions are causing the planet to warm.

The fact that mamooth is arguing that man made global warming is proof in itself that it is a global scam. Seriously, is there a dumber poster on this board? Rightwinger and truthmatters gives him a run for his money, but I think he takes the cake for the dumbest of all left wing hacks.
No offense.
You did notice that because he couldn't attack what was in my post, he attacked me. Just like what Abe did with Moore. Shows the lack of intellect from these goofballs.
