I DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector.

If Dr. Evans would have used a little common sense he wouldn’t be in this pickle. Dr. Evans = recovered helpful idiot
No More Earth Day Parties with the Poltiboro..
The world has spent $50 billion on global warming since 1990, and we have not found any actual evidence that carbon emissions cause global warming. Evidence consists of observations made by someone at some time that supports the idea that carbon emissions cause global warming. Computer models and theoretical calculations are not evidence, they are just theory.
What is going to happen over the next decade as global temperatures continue not to rise? The Labor Government is about to deliberately wreck the economy in order to reduce carbon emissions. If the reasons later turn out to be bogus, the electorate is not going to re-elect a Labor government for a long time. When it comes to light that the carbon scare was known to be bogus in 2008, the ALP is going to be regarded as criminally negligent or ideologically stupid for not having seen through it. And if the Liberals support the general thrust of their actions, they will be seen likewise.
And he'll never get another "grant" in his natural lifetime...
I wonder why more Freepers haven’t read this. It’s a huge indictment of the Global Warming Cult.
You're right - great stuff.

But... but... he was a government consultant during the Conservative government... so it doesn’t really count. /s
WHAT ABOUT COW FARTS.
Quite an article, he put considerable thought into this compact exposition. It is an apology and a warning.
Originally meant to do good, but has become a fraud, ponzi scheme, and nothing more than a means to redistribute capital.
Everyone now knows it is not going to work, but keep on putting money in it.
Remove the redistribution of wealth and no one cares.
Al Gore is fat.
I am too so I can call him that.
ping!
Jeepus! All living things on earth are carbon based.
How did people get so stupid as to discount this very basic knowledge?
Carbon is a blessing, not a curse.
I don't know if I can trust anyone who starts off a piece like this. But I like the rest of it.
BTW, I found a bio here and no mention of rockets. Weird.
Voilà
It appears a lot of genuine scientists are starting to have second thoughts about risking their careers just to help a failed presidential candidate build a legacy and a huge bank account.
I hope so. But in the meantime, a "Labor government", and liberals in general pushing this, can do a lot of damage that will require much more than merely un-electing them to fix it.
Hm....
I took it to answer the rhetorical question, “Who’s the ‘rocket scientist’ who wrote THIS? (full CAM)”
Ah, self deprecation. Fair enough.
Al Gore is with Kleiner Perkins looking to invest in windmills and other renewable energy technologies. He scares the kids and their parents to death and then says ‘buy my windmills to save the world.’ Any other ‘preacher’ trying to make money off this extortive fear of global warming would be tarred and feather - but Gore gets a free pass. He is looking more like Elmer Gantry every day.
CO2 lags temperature by 800 years time.
Therefore Temperature is not a function of CO2 the realionship is inverse.
This is basic science.
If AlGore succeeds he may have a huge bank account but he will have wrecked the world economy and that is not much of a legacy.
Depends on how much water vapor they contain. But I seriously doubt all the cow farts in the world could form a rain cloud.
Well duh Mr scientist naybe the watmer weather alowed for people and plants and animal to thrive increasing the the CO2 output.
When theres no food in an ice age maybe there is less thriving life on the planet?
Beats me. The sheeple spend too much time watching porn and 'amusing' themselves I guess. They let the Liberal moonbat special interest groups decide everything else for them, including what to think and believe to be true.
But the scientists ignore this basic information.
I think he was admitting to being the "rocket scientist" meaning "not very smart guy" who wrote that.
“Global warming” hoax BUMP!
Yep. My sarcasm detector seems to be broken today.
All Decaying things that are carbon based give off CO2.
A decaying leaf gives off the same amount of CO2 as a leaf that is burnt. The only difference is the rate of release and burning provides something useful...energy!
Leaves rotting on the ground account for more CO2 output that all the cars and factory’s in the world. And it happens every fall. Think of the huge masses of decaying plant matter on this planet.
These scientists are idiots.
Freeking eggheads!
Not all of them. In fact not even half of them. Only the so called "scientists" at the UN who just happen to be pushing for this global governance and transfer of wealth scam, many of which aren't even climatologists. They skewed the report in the first place, ignoring what real scientists who wrote the report had said, which was there was no conclusive evidence that Carbon dioxide caused "global warming" much less the tiny amount made by humans.
Of course MSM, owned by the elitist who are no doubt members of the club, will not allow these scientists any opportunity to correct the LIE the UN and certain Liberal governments/ members are propagating all over the western world.
Agreed.
The Global Warming Pod People are going to get him now.
I have been listening to shortwave radio and it is astounding how widely spread the lie is.
Australia is awful. Radio Australia should be called “Radio Global Warming Hoax”
Bump.
Number one source of CO2 is... plate tectonics.
Faults...rock grinding on rock, releasing CO2, amoungst other gases.
Excellent article - to be included with a letter I’m sending to my Representative complaining about his stance against offshore drilling, and pointing out among other things how out of touch he is if he really still believes that fossil fuels are destroying our environment........
Yes, he’s probably being self-deprecating but I must say I find his qualifications pretty impressive. The print version of the article showed that he had a BSc, BE-EE, MA(Sydney), MS-EE, MS-Stat, PhD EE (Stanford).
If only they would listen to him. Fat chance.
There are so many reasons these people are wrong.
Do you realize the amount of CO2 the gazilions of bacteria on the planet put off everyday?
And lets ignore the sun in our models...sheesh!
The onus should be on those who want to change things to provide evidence for why the changes are necessary. The Australian public is eventually going to have to be told the evidence anyway, so it might as well be told before wrecking the economy.
My favorite line: "There goes the alarmist neighbourhood!"

That's normal operation in the realm of politics. First of all, politicians are trained to speak ambiguously and vote for something and then against it. This way they can always say that they supported X or were against X, whatever is most convenient. We laugh at their voting patterns and call them idiots, but they laugh at us and call us idiots too, and my fear is that they are right.
Secondly, they can rewrite the history, it's easy because the modern society has attention span of 3 minutes, and can believe in any ridiculous thing as long as The Figure of Authority says it (such as a newspaper or a TV station.) There is very little history preserved even if you specifically look for it; but if you just want to Google something you can come up with any amount of fake data; Wikipedia suffered quite a few forgeries, for example. With more and more print media dying, all our news are coming from the "live wire" and it is archived ... nowhere. If you want an example from 20th century (not even from 0th!) just have a look at the Holocaust "controversy", with "opinions from both sides" - the history is being rewritten in front of our eyes.
