If only the N.C. legislature had such healthy skepticism:
While other states are
looking for ways to reduce the greenhouse gases that contribute to
global warming, Georgia officials are not convinced there’s a problem
they can do anything about.“In the media, we hear the gloom and doom side,” said Rep. Jeff
Lewis (R-White), chairman of the House Energy, Utilities and
Telecommunications Committee that held the hearing. “There is
alternative information out there.”
And this:
John Christy, director of
the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in
Huntsville, said temperature data does not support predictions that
greenhouse gases will cause a massive warming of the Earth’s climate
over the next century. In fact, he said temperatures in Georgia and
Alabama have declined over the past century.“I plow through the data from scratch. I don’t see the catastrophes happening,” Christy said.
Read the entire Atlanta Journal-Constitution report of the hearing sponsored by the Georgia House. It was titled “Climate Change: Fact or Fiction?”
