"I was appalled at the blatant misuse of statistical data."

Think About It-Global Warming campaign - Billerica, MA - Billerica Minuteman

During this past school year my son had a block or session on global warming as part of his High School instruction. The instruction consisted of watching Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” video. No other material was addressed during the course of instruction. The fact that no opposing views were addressed during the instruction intrigued me. So I went down to our local Blockbuster store and rented Al Gore’s video and my family and I watched it together. As a person that has spent decades conducting research and studies I was appalled at the blatant misuse of statistical data.

In the case of global warming and the current Global Warming Solutions Act awaiting a vote in the House I would need far more information on what it really does and how it may affect the economy before I can support this initiative. Given the lack of serious scientific data and the current politicization of Global Warming I am very skeptical of the motives of any group that advocates the institution of new laws to address Global Warming.

A healthy dose of skepticism should be in order when encountering those collecting signatures and soliciting volunteers for the Environment Massachusetts campaign to stop global warming.
