Proposed Climate Tampering Could Kill Millions

John Herron, Global Warming Hoax, 05 March 2008 [here]

Some scientists are so convinced that man-made global warming is now unstoppable and harmful that they are proposing to artificially tamper with the atmosphere to “fix it”. If we truly are heading in to a period of low solar activity (cooling), as NASA and many others have predicted, this god like action to slow “global warming” could kill millions from cold and starvation.

We try to avoid fear mongering here and base our arguments on science. Historically science has generally been used to counter ignorance and prejudice, today science is often used to justify political correctness, to gain social acceptance or as a means to gaining power and wealth. When used incorrectly science can cause ignorance and prejudice. When science losses its built in skepticism it can be nearly impossible for the average person to know what to trust. We can find no better reason to fear the current politically tainted scientific community then the current push towards “geoengineering” to “fix” our climate.

As has been reported here in previous articles there have been several studies that say even if we cut CO2 emissions to zero the planet will continue to warm. The latest study claims we’ll continue to warm for the next 500 years. No one believes we can cut our CO2 emissions to zero anytime soon and with reports like this one “China’s 2030 CO2 Emissions Could Equal the Entire World’s Today” it would hardly be worth other developed countries even trying. Not that we believe any of the malarkey about a planet doomed by CO2 but there are many on the left and some vocal scientists that do. This unfounded fear and the media’s mass-hysteria is very dangerous. Cooling the planet at a time that we’re heading in to a Dalton or Maunder Minimum level of solar activity could be disastrous! … [more]
