The Plot Thickens


A True Inquiry Into Climate & Weather (2/2): The Plot Thickens

by KIM GREENHOUSE on NOVEMBER 14, 2009
The plot really does thicken as we continue our inquiry into climate and weather. The verifiable data offered in this interview is both fascinating and disturbing. Astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) and climatologist Dr. David Legates (University of Delaware) brief us on key scientific data that cannot be overlooked or dismissed.
This conversation covers an extensive array of climate topics, including the sun’s role in the global climate system, the obstruction and politicization of science, and an honest look at polar bear populations.

I deeply appreciate the gift of real knowledge that these men have brought us. Speaking with clarity and passion, they identify numerous factors that leave the average activist and global warming advocate with a totally different understanding of what is really occurring. They display a rare courage in standing up for the integrity of verifiable science as they continue to speak truth to power against vicious attacks. Tune in and explore this incredibly complex field of inquiry with us!

Refugees knocking on the door......

Climate Change * Global Warming IImage by Tomás Rotger via Flickr

MORE refugees will knock on Australia's door unless rich countries help poorer nations cope with climate change, a key UN scientist has warned.
Professor Martin Parry - a prominent UK scientist who chaired the last United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment of the impact of climate change - said wealthy countries such as Australia had “good, selfish reasons” to spend money helping the developing world adapt to global warming.
He said climate change assistance to the developing world was tipped to reach $50 billion a year by 2020 - double the amount of other types of foreign aid.
