Lengthy article with additional information about the astronaut and the Heartland Institute.

" 'Consensus,' as many have said, merely represents the absence of definitive science. You know as well as I, the 'global warming scare' is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making. It has no place in the Society's activities."

Apparently Schmitt is a true scientist. It is a shame that they are so few and far between.

Exactly - That in a nutshell is what it’s all about!!!

There actually IS a CO2 spike. However the slightly elevated CO2 is saving the world from slipping back into an overdue regularly scheduled Ice Age.

The Global Warmism democrat party cultists have it TOTALLY wrong. Their mandates will destroy the world.

I’m sending the original of this article to my Local {non-syndicated} talk-radio hosts, and urging them to try to book this Guy.

I hope you will do the same.

Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, one of the last men to walk on the moon and a former U.S. senator from New Mexico, doesn't buy the idea that humans are causing global warming.

Why would anyone want to lay claim to having been a "U.S. senator"? Why tarnish a history of having been an astronaut?

The 74-year-old geologist recently resigned from The Planetary Society, a nonprofit dedicated to space exploration, after the group blamed global warming on human activity.
Thanks Biglook. Duplicate topic, so adding but not pinging.

Jack Schmitt is Top Flight, worthy of being given great credit for this stance. Anyone who has read his twenty year body of work with the Fusion Technology Institute at the University of Wisconsin will be astounded at such vision from one so level-headed. This is not a guy who rested on his laurels after catching the last flight to the Moon.

A full read of his letter of resignation from the, so-called "Planetary Society" demonstrates his unwillingness to shy away from his devotion to the actualscientific method.

Brief and to the point, it can be read HERE, from last November.

When he first let the open list of Lunar and Planetary Scientists know what his actual words were, it was truly entertaining to read the jumbled, irrational responses from far younger and terribly naive scientists who wore out many boxes of crayons writing their responses.

It must have bent them into permanent pretzels trying to express their respect for Jack Schmitt with their "respectfully disagree" paragraphs. (It was a hoot!)

Dr. Schmitt is a true scientist. May his speaking fees flourish!
