Greta Thunberg, climate activist, makes no claims to scientific expertise and brushes off questions, saying she listens to “the scientists.”
On the same day that Greta made her impassioned speech to the UN, 500 highly qualified scientists sent a letter to the UN saying: “There is no climate emergency.” You are far more likely to have seen news about Greta.
Michelle Stirling of the Friends of Science Society has read the letter to more than 300,000 viewers on YouTube.
The scientists’ declaration states that “Climate policy relies on inadequate models.”
“Mickey-Mouse mockeries of the real word” is the term used by prominent Japanese scientist Mototaka Nakamura. He states that “today’s ‘global warming science’ is akin to an upside-down pyramid which is built on the work of a few climate modelers.” This is taken as a given, and “we’re even at the stage now where merely testing their validity is regarded as heresy.”
The declaration also states that “nature as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming.”
Climate change has always been occurring. Alarmists sometimes seem to think that history began in 1950. Graphs of temperature, glacier shortening, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events, versus solar activity, hydrocarbon use, and atmospheric carbon dioxide show that the current temperature is close to the 3,000-year average, and do not show a deleterious effect of carbon dioxide.
On the basis of facts like these, more than 31,000 Americans with academic degrees in science, 9,000 with PhDs, signed the Oregon Petition disagreeing with the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming hypothesis and agreeing that increased carbon dioxide has increased plant growth. That is by far the largest number of scientists signing any statement on this issue.
As the declaration to the UN states, “Warming is far slower than predicted.” Instead of the climate crisis predicted by Al Gore in 2006, we have had the global warming “pause.”
Greta is taking a year off from school, traveling overland from New York to Santiago, Chile, pausing to strike and protest every Friday wherever she is. Even if she wants her followers to panic, they might take some time out to listen to scientists and read some graphs instead of signs.
