Former astronaut WALTER CUNNINGHAM is a "denier"

Climate change alarmists ignore scientific methods | Viewpoints, Outlook | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
Human-caused global warming is simply not a threat to be concerned about. It is nature, not human activity, that rules the climate. Humans have adjusted to temperature changes for at least 100,000 years, and they will certainly do so in the future.

Twenty years ago, the alarmists were talking about the science. Now, without the facts on their side, they are reduced to talking about other justifications, like consensus science. Those of us who never bought into AGW talk about empirical data. After years of looking, I have not found one piece of empirical evidence that man-made CO2 has a significant impact on global climate.

I think all Cunningham has proved is that NASA isn't particularly picky about who they will fling into space. While he often discredits the global warming data as being "theoretical," I have yet to see him produce any data proving his own point.

It is interesting and informative that those who don't agree with Mr. Cunningham tend to attack him personaaly rather than demonstrating even a shred of evidence regarding why his opinion / position is wrong.

While we should certainly do all we can within reason to protect our planet, spending hundreds of billions of dollars on "fixing" AGW without a solid scientific basis supporting AGW is a fool's errand.

We live on a rock hurtling through space in orbit at a distance of 93 million miles from a medium-sized star ... do we really expect the global temperature to remain constant?
