Common Sense Political Thought » Blog Archive » India and CO2 emissions restrictions: Thanks, but no thanks.
President Barack Obama and his administration, as well as our non-Administration friends on the left, have been telling us that not only are reducing carbon dioxide emissions good for us, vital for our survival, but will be an economic boon as well, as we develop new technologies and reinvest in our infrastructure.Ready for a Green TEA Party? « Green Hell Blog
If so, it would seem to me that a country like India, with a huge population but an underdeveloped economy would welcome such ideas with open arms. Unlike the US, India isn’t facing huge industrial replacement costs, but needs to build new plants where none existed peviously. Add to that India’s warmer, steamier climate, and using carbon-reducing or eliminating techniques would seem to be the perfect fit for the country which bills itself as the world’s largest democracy.
Show up and help tell President Obama that we’re not going to take the green ROD (regression, oppression and depression) lying down.Funny: Romm quotes climate realist and moonwalker Harrison Schmitt: From the moon-landing deniers to WattsUpWithThat « Climate Progress
No, I’m just drawing the painfully straight line from the moon hoax people to the climate hoax people.

Adding his voice to what appears to be a growing chorus of scientists speaking out against the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory, former astronaut and moonwalker Harrison Schmitt says that many scientists have sold out their objectivity for political reasons.
In some very strongly worded statements, Dr. Schmitt lets it be known that he does not agree with the theory than man is predominantly responsible for global warming. He said, “I don’t think the human effect is significant compared to the natural effect.”
Dr. Schmitt recently resigned from the Planetary Society over his firm belief that global warming is not manmade. In his email resignation Schmitt said, “”Consensus”, as many have said, merely represents the absence of definitive science. You know as well as I, the “global warming scare” is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making. It has no place in the Society’s activities.”
“As a geologist, I love Earth observations. But, it is ridiculous to tie this objective to a “consensus” that humans are causing global warming when human experience, geologic data and history, and current cooling can argue otherwise.
- Dr. Harrison Schmitt
Schmitt is one of a number of prominent scientists who spoke at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York. In an interview with AP, in speaking about those that advocate the manmade climate change theory, Schmitt said, “They’ve seen too many of their colleagues lose grant funding when they haven’t gone along with the so-called political consensus that we’re in a human-caused global warming. It’s one of the few times you’ve seen a sizable portion of scientists who ought to be objective take a political position and it’s coloring their objectivity.”
Best known as the first ‘scientist astronaut’, Schmitt was chosen to walk on the moon with Apollo 17 in 1972 due to his education and experience as a geologist. Prior to being an astronaut, Schmitt received a B.S. degree in science from the California Institute of Technology, then spent a year studying geology at the University of Oslo in Norway and received a Ph.D. in geology from Harvard University in 1964. Now a resident of Silver City, NM, he has been a United States Senator and currently serves as chair of the NASA Advisory Council providing technical advice to the NASA Administrator as well as being an adjunct professor of engineering physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
