County: Green but not officially ‘cool’

Thisweek Live: Thisweek Newspapers/Dakota County Tribune - County: Green but not officially ‘cool’

Dakota County commissioners have agreed to go green, but decided it’s too controversial to become cool.

In committee June 10, commissioners approved recommending a resolution to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions but against signing the Cool Counties Climate Stabilization Declaration, which states there is no dissent in the scientific community about the causes of global warming.

“I don’t believe that,” said Commissioner Paul Krause, chair of the Physical Development Committee of the Whole, noting that there is disagreement among scientists regarding the theory that human activity causes climate change.

According to www.petitionproject.org , more than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition against the theory of manmade global warming and gone on record opposing the move toward world energy rationing.
United Nations International Panel on Climate Change reports state scientists worldwide are convinced human activity causes climate change.
