RE: What Is The Average Global Temperature?

in #climate6 years ago

Our former President George W. Bush killed a project that was well underway to launch a satellite that would greatly help study and measure climate change. Most of the money had been spent but this didn't stop W from preventing us from learning more about this crucial subject. I have no doubt the usual crew of very wealthy people would use climate change to make money as they have used everything else that gets into their clutches. I have no doubt some people like to generate fear to make money. It is the basis of our defense industry milking this country for $trillions. So why not climate change too? And everything eventually also becomes a vehicle for political power. Just witness how certain people of different religions have used it to imprison and murder others for hundreds of years. So why not use climate change too? Yet as a Chemical Engineer with a broad scientific background for a number of years, I have come to carefully appreciate the existence of climate change and its mostly human-driven basis. This article is a disservice to rational thinking as it seeks to quietly undermine the rising awareness we cannot just treat our planet any way we want, by pointing out how rife it is with politics. Behind the dispassionate mask of investigative journalism is a very old smear campaign that seeks to throw out the baby with the bath water.
