Anti-Climatic

With Gore's truth movie about to go into full swing the American MSM has been largely silent regarding the movie's conclusions. Thank heavens for the Canadian press and this article, which properly summarizes the feelings of many in the actual field of climatology and climate science.

The following excerpt exemplifies the nature of the guessing game involved in determining future weather trends (which averaged together makes up global climate):

"There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years."

Patterson asked the committee, "On the basis of this evidence, how could anyone still believe that the recent relatively small increase in CO2 levels would be the major cause of the past century's modest warming?"

This coming from a real scientist, not a politician pretending to be one. Too bad Gore couldn't have interviewed him for the flick, eh?
