GOP candidates urged to accept climate change by scientists
By Andrew Restuccia - 12/29/11 11:49 AM ET
Fifty New Hampshire scientists Thursday called on the Republican presidential candidates to accept the overwhelming scientific evidence behind climate change.
The scientists issued the joint statement just weeks before the Jan. 10 New Hampshire primary, a key early test for the GOP White House hopefuls.
We urge all candidates for public office at national, state, and local levels, and all New Hampshire citizens, to acknowledge the overwhelming balance of evidence for the underlying causes of climate change, to support appropriate responses to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, and to develop local and statewide strategies to adapt to near-term changes in climate, the scientists said.
Ignoring the issue of climate change places our health, our quality of life, our economic vitality, and our childrens future at risk.
The GOP presidential candidates have raised questions about climate science, a politically thorny issue in Republican circles.
My view is that we dont know whats causing climate change on this planet, Mitt Romney said during an October speech.
Romney has said he believes that climate change is occurring and that human beings contribute to it. But he has said he doesnt know how much global warming can be attributed to human activity.
Other Republican presidential candidates have been more direct in questioning climate science. Rick Perry, for instance, called global warming one contrived phony mess in his book Fed Up!
Scientists at seven New Hampshire institutions, including the University of New Hampshire and Dartmouth College, signed Thursdays joint statement. It was sent to the offices of all the presidential candidates as well as New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch (D).
The statement comes about a month after Iowa scientists issued a similar call for the Republican candidates to accept climate science.
The vast majority of the worlds scientists say climate change is occurring in large part due to such human activity as the burning of fossil fuels.
Many acedemics who claim to be scientists receive huge grants to rubber stamp the world-wide HOAX.
There is virtually NO money going to the "deniers".
It doesn't take Perry Mason, Sherlock Holmes nor Detectives Columbo or Goren to figure it out!
But we worry about the Republican Establishment that operates in the same Bizarro World as the freaks who promote the religion of "green energy and global warming"!

Let the socialists keep the hoax. They own it.

One can visualize the faculty meeting where the "Statement" was passed around for signatures--and returned to the Department Head.
Safe also to assume no one is accepted into this department in the first place without taking the "manmade global warming oath of allegiance."
However, his couch-mate was made up mostly of after-market, nonfactory inorganic parts.
Fifty? In the global warming haydays they could pull in hundreds - thousands - anyone who had taken high school science qualified.
We've won ...
The only thing 'overwhelming' is the fudging of the data.
The list. Look them up. The few I have are all “eco” frauds is some fashion.

50 teat suckers.
Thanks.
I knew it had to be complete BS.
Ignoring the issue of climate change places our health, our quality of life, our economic vitality, and our childrens future at risk.
STFU,you liars.
I never thought I would live to see the very basis of science so compromised by the agenda driven whores.
Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide - Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? By Timothy Ball
No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)
Those two articles take Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.
Sky-high hole blown in AGW theory?
"Forbes reports on a peer-reviewed study that uses NASA data to show that the effects of carbon-based warming have been significantly exaggerated. In fact, much of the heat goes out into space rather than stay trapped in the atmosphere, an outcome that started long before AGW alarmists predicted:"
That article explains why no Hot Spot has been found.
The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory
Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics
Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'
It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming
Simple Chemistry and the Real Greenhouse Effect.
Those five articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.
Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud
That article kills any thought of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? The rise in sea level in the last 100 years is almost exactly the same as the average over the last 40,000 years caused by the inter-glacial period we are in.
Worse. I saw a couple that are "I also serve on the Advisory Board of UNHs McNair Research Opportunities Program. " or something similar.
That means they are controlling the purse strings for research. They are an infestation...
Since I don't ski or snowmobile...ya-frickin'-hoo!
The climate has never stayed the same, there has always been climate change. The Ice Age came and went.
What we believe is that the anti-capitalist, anti-American Left has made up a hoax called “man-made climate change” to help destroy the free market capitalist private sector economy of America.
Stand up to these people Americans!
My question is who is the one that Organized the 50 scientist? Why was it important.
You said: There are no real scientists in New Hampshire.
You are correct, and the idea that there are 50 scientists who know about climatology who live in NH is insane. But I guess they truly expect us to believe that BS.
I know/knew many "real" scientists when I lived in NM. They worked at the labs. One of them actually walked on the moon. And he is a vocal denier of AGW. Surely no one really takes this AGW nonsense serious anymore.
My guess is that it was organized by the University of New Hampshire since everyone of them appears to be a PHD there. Not a very diverse crowd.
