GLOBAL WARMING DOUBTS

More than 31,000 U.S. scientists, including more than 9,000 Ph.D.s (in fields such as atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties) have signed a petition rejecting "global warming," the U.N.’s assumption that human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth’s climate. This is 15 times more scientists than are supporting the U.N. campaign. "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases is causing or will in the foreseeable future cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate," states the petition. In fact, there is substantial evidence that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide produces many beneficial effects.
