He also works on civil defense and on development of home schooling techniques and edits the newsletter Access to Energy. Dr. Robinson was a faculty member of the University of California at San Diego and was President and Research Director of the Linus Pauling Institute before founding the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine with his wife Laurelee, who was also a scientist.

...certainly doesn't seem like a foremost expert in climatology.

A survey of over 400 German, American and Canadian climate researchers conducted by Dennis Bray of the Meteorologisches Institut der Universitat Hamburg and Hans von Storch of GKSS Forschungszentrum and reported in the United Nations Climate Change Bulletin, for example, found that only 10% of the researchers surveyed "strongly agreed" with the statement "We can say for certain that global warming is a process already underway." Further, 35% of those surveyed either disagreed with the statement or were undecided. Perhaps even more interesting, 67% of the researchers either disagreed or were uncertain about the proposition that climate change will occur so suddenly that a lack of preparation would devastate certain parts of the world -- the underlying assumption on which the talks in Kyoto, Japan were based. Close to half of the researchers -- 48% -- indicated that they don't have faith in the forecasts of the global climate models, the strongest argument in favor of quick, decisive, international action to counter the threat of global warming. Another 20% expressed uncertainty about these models.

Another survey, conducted by American Viewpoint for Citizens for a Sound Economy, found that, by a margin of 44% to 17%, state climatologists believe that global warming is largely a natural phenomenon. The survey further found that 58% of the climatologists disagreed with President Clinton's assertion that "the overwhelming balance of evidence and scientific opinion is that it is no longer a theory, but now fact, that global warming is for real," while only 36% agreed with the assertion. Thirty-six of the nation's 48 official state climatologists participated in the survey.

There is, therefore, no scientific consensus on global warming.

What happened 500,000 years ago when the earth was last this temperature? I mean, there were people on the planet, so surely they must have had a knowledge of fossil fuels to cause the temperature to rise to that level, no?

Galt,
do you just read off the playbook for Conservative Jackasses?

you are the one injecting the concept of this being a man made phenomenon....
I was simply discussing global warming....

fucking tool....
stereotypical lickspittle response.
1. deny global warming exists.
2. when it is no longer possible to deny it exists, claim it's a natural phenomenon.

you are so fucking cliche.

[Galt]

It doesn't exist because it's a natural phenomenon, and if it's a natural phenomenon then there is nothing we can do about it, Miss Little.

[Ken'sPen]

It doesn't exist because it's a natural phenomenon,.

so anything that is a natural phenomenon doesn't exist?

I am humbled at your debating skills and logic.
