Minnesota State Senator Tom Neuville

Radio Commentator Dennis Prager visited with William Gray, a pioneer in the area of forecasting hurricanes, and Professor Emeritus in Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University.

Dr. Gray is a knowledgeable skeptic on the topic of Global Warming. (by the way, he hasn’t taken research money from petroleum interests). He believes that the panic over global warming is greatly exaggerated. Dr. Gray also explains the peer pressure confronting many scientists today not to depart from the politically driven orthodoxy on the issue of global warming. Peer reviews are harder to come by from scientists who depend upon government grants for their research.

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting Article describing a different approach to the issue of Global Warming. Linked Here.
It’s called “Climate Geo-Engineering”. This approach suggests that we could add particles to earth’s upper atmosphere and reflect 1-2% of the Sun’s rays back into space. We know that the approach would work. Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991 and cooled most of the Earth for a few years, erasing for a short time roughly half of the global warming that took place during the entire 20th century.

In 1992, a report by the National Academy of Sciences found the prospect of stratospheric albedo enhancement “feasible, economical, and capable.” And there are a great many geo-engineering options apart from adding sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere.

This approach doesn’t depend upon “winning” the political argument about the question  of whether man is the cause of global warming. Even scientists who believe the earth is warming due to natural causes, would welcome further research of climate geo-engineering models.
