Title: Subtitle: |
An Iconoclast Revisits Climate Change: Climate Change, Some Pleasant Truths. |
|
About the meeting: A considerable share of the limited resources of the country, and of scientists and engineers, is being wasted on the speculation about global warming and the role of CO2. Data obtained by scientists about the temperature cycles for many thousands of years in the past have shown significant temperature cycles without the effect of large human populations. There are solid data out there conclusively proving man-made global warming to be at best insignificant. A summary of the Climate Change Debate within the context of recent developments will be given.
