The Global Warming Myth

A good video.

In what sense to you feel this is a "good" video, Louise?

Dr. Noah Robinson is a physicist, not a climate scientist.

He is the son of Arthur Robinson and a principal at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, which, as noted before, specializes in selling home that is designed to "teach your children to teach themselves and to acquire superior knowledge as did many of America's most outstanding citizens in the days before socialism in education", and endorses the creationist website and an online discussion group called RobinsonUsers4Christ, "for Bible & Trinity-believing, God-fearing, 'Jesus-Plus-Nothing-Else' Christian families who use the Robinson Curriculum to share ideas and to get and give support." (You can confirm that at their website.)

The "scientific paper signed by 17,000 scientists" referred to in the introduction to this video is "Environmental Effects of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide", printed in the same typeface and format as the official Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The NAS immediately disavowed the paper, stating that this was a shameful attempt to suggest that this was an NAS, peer-reviewed publication, which it emphatically was not. The "17,000 scientists" who allegedly "signed" this paper were people who added their name, without ANY verification, to an online form. The list included such well known "scientists" as fictional MASH TV characters Dr. Frank Burns, B. J. Honeycutt, and Benjamin Pierce, an individual by the name of "Dr. Red Wine," and Geraldine Halliwell, formerly known as pop singer Ginger Spice of the Spice Girls. Halliwell's field of scientific specialization was listed as "biology." The list was loaded with misspellings, duplications, name and title fragments, and names of non-persons, such as company names.

That's your "expert".

Here's a little test. See if you can find one single peer reviewed article by Dr. Robinson, on climate, in any peer reviewed journal of any description, any time.

I must agree with Balbulican, Mr. Robinson is just not the best person to talk about the climate change. Simply stating facts of other people is just not good enough. Maybe you should read few articles from Michael Mann for example.

Take care, Lorne
