ORLANDO, Fla. -- We're in a busy period of hurricane activity that will inflict unimaginable damage, but global warming is not the cause, leading researchers told the nation's foremost forecasters and other experts Friday. Chris Landsea, a respected researcher and the National Hurricane Center's science officer, told attendees of the National Hurricane Conference that there is no conclusive evidence that global warming has significantly enhanced or otherwise affected the number or intensity of hurricanes.
After two years of good winter snowpacks, Utah may be facing a relatively skimpy runoff this spring, agreed experts at a briefing Tuesday. Also, one of the experts pointed out that as far as snow levels are concerned, Utah has experienced no evidence of global warming. If global warming does hit here, he said, nobody knows whether that would be good or bad for the state's water supply.
S. Congressman Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis, was on the defense at the League of Women Voters' forum for the U.S. Third Congressional District on Sunday. The room overflowed with more than 200 people packed in the gymnasium at the Arnold Recreation Center. Republican candidate Ed Martin was on the attack, blasting Carnahan on nearly every issue, much to the delight of the somewhat contentious crowd. Nicholas (Nick) Ivanovich of the Constitution Party served as the stabilizing force. The Libertarian candidate, Steven R. Hedrick, did not attend.

The belief that the Earth is warming as the result of human activity, such as burning fossil fuels, is not accepted by a majority of Americans; but it is not for lack of knowledge about the issue. Though just under half of the public (49%) believes in man- made global warming --11% do not believe there is even solid evidence the Earth is warming -- 65% of Americans were able to correctly identify carbon dioxide as the gas scientists believe causes temperatures in the atmosphere to rise. Unlike the general public, an overwhelming number of scientists (84%) say global warming is due to human activity; only 4% say there is no evidence the Earth is warming. Among the public, the main divide is along partisan lines. While 64% of Democrats say the Earth is getting warmer as a result of human ...
There is no scientific evidence that man is causing catastrophic global warming because of carbon dioxide. None. The entire case to stop emitting carbon rests on global circulation computer models that have proved themselves to be wrong. As a result of this hysteria, we are going to reject Canadian crude from oil tars because it is too "dirty" ("McCain oil plan fosters reliance on Middle East, Page 1, Friday). What folly. Earth's temperature has been stable or has cooled for 10 years. More than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition against this CO2 misadventure. (Fewer than 3,000 scientists were part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control list - the supposed "consensus.") World-leading climatologists have written asking IPCC members to retract their support from the IPCC r...
About half (48%) of white mainline Protetestants believe the earth is warming as the result of human activity -- roughly the same proportion as among all Americans (47%) -- but only a third of white evangelical Protestants (34%) share that belief. In fact, white evangelical Protestants are the most likely to say there is no solid evidence that global warming is occurring (31%). While only 39% of black Protestants say global warming is a result of human activity, they are, however, the least likely of the religions studied to deny global warming (15%). The unaffiliated (58%) are the most likely to say there is solid evidence the earth is warming because of human activity. Source: Pew Research Center
Capital Ideas - Column Proposals contained in the Rio Climate Change Treaty to curb global warming can severely damage American businesses and industries. This will eventually lead to the loss of their competitiveness in relation to their counterparts abroad. The impact on the US economy is expected to be quite expensive. Such recommendations as carbon taxes, BTU taxes, higher vehicle mileage standards and sharing of subsidized or free technology could cut the GDP by $200 billion per year, eliminate 600,000 jobs, increase gas prices by $0.50 per gallon and raise food prices. Given that developing countries are not bound to comply with these mandates, only the developed nations will be burdened. This would result in failure to decelerate the rise of carbon dioxide emissions around the w...

National Geographic Editor in Chief William L. Allen states that his publication "meticulously" researched for four years its super- hyped September cover story "Global Warning" ("The scientific approach," Sept. 17). He claims that "the preponderance of scientific evidence worldwide overwhelmingly proves the planet is heating up. The evidence doesn't bear this out. In two peer-reviewed research papers published in the July 9 issue of Geophysical Research Letters, a major scientific journal, I, with Patrick J. Michaels as a co-author, showed that out of four data sets, three show no significant global warming. Advocates of global-warming theory simply ignore all contrary evidence. This is hardly a "scientific approach."
