Heartland Update: Climate Engineering and the Fallacies in the EPA’s ANPR » The Foundry

Dr. Patrick Michaels, professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia and Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute discussed the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR). The EPA bureaucracy is trying to circumvent Congressional legislation to curb greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and regulate carbon dioxide and other GHGs under the Clean Air Act.

While this was humorous in some ways, it raised a critical point - one I’ve been asking in different ways for a number of years. The whole “AGW” notion depends on parsing the measurability of temperature down to hundredths of a degree; yet the goofinesses in these stations would seem to introduce systematic errors on the order of multiple degrees. There simply is no way to pull a fraction-of-a-degree “global warming” signature out of such a completely messed-up system of measurement stations.

MR. KLAUS: I'm afraid that a serious debate about that issue has not yet started. What we witnessed are monologues, a conference of believers in global warming. The debate has not yet started. Nevertheless, I'm afraid the politicians have already accepted this idea, understood that it's a good political project, and now the things are moving in a way which I consider extremely dangerous. And I know that not only politicians, the businesspeople discovered that it's very attractive investments to get taxpayers' money and to start doing some things. So this is another problem.

But I would like to make one thing clear, let's really differentiate the protection of the environment from the debate about global warming and decarbonizing the economy. I am not against the protection of the environment. I am against global-warming alarmism. Those are conceptually, structurally, two totally different issues.
