Kathleen Connell promotes climate fraud

“Climate change is accelerating according to the best science on hand, and the planet is not really interested in our squabbles with one another other. The time has come to join forces and have civil conversations in order to find the way to protect the San Diego we love. Mother Nature is on her own determined time schedule. As a hurricane survivor I can vouch for that.” Said Kathleen Connell, a science policy expert who has worked with NASA and other policy organizations. Connell is a Co-Producer of www.SanDiegoEarthWeek.com events, and experienced Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005 while living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Facing this survey data, does it make political sense to raise energy prices to "solve" a non-existent problem?

...global warming is a lesser concern for the public compared with energy independence and the price of fuel. While overwhelming majorities worry about prices (89 percent), oil dependence (83 percent) and global warming (71 percent), the intensity of their concern is much different. Almost 6 in 10 (57 percent) worry "a lot" about price, while only 32 percent say they worry "a lot" about global warming.

"We're embarking on a new debate about energy in this country, and the public is entering it in a deeply dissatisfied frame of mind," said Scott Bittle, Public Agenda executive vice president and lead author of the report. "But they're unhappiest about the parts of the problem that hit them in the here and now. Global warming is still a more remote problem to the public than prices or oil dependence, and that's reflected in these grades."

An overwhelming majority of scientists do not believe the current track for political progress on global climate change will do anything to curb carbon emissions and resultant global warming. Nearly nine of 10 climate scientists polled believe man-made climate change will result in a catastrophic average temperature increase of 39 to 41 degrees by the end of the century.
