KLC: You'd agree there is a small effect of CO2; the insulating blanket
effect.
DJE: That's why we have a nice, warm, cozy planet.
KLC: They're careful in the way they parse words. Everyone believes CO2
affects our surface temperature.
DJE: That's why we have a warm planet.
KLC: The question is, how much? Is it significant?
DJE: The CO2 effect is tiny. The eight one-thousandths of one-percent
contributed by human activity won't do much. Human-caused warming is
dogma, pure and simple. That Al Gore won't debate scientists, won't talk
to the press, and all he'll say is 'The debate is over, stupid,' says a
lot for the validity of the argument. There is a list of ten things in
his movie, The Inconvenient Truth, that are totally false. I have
verified those myself-the Gore assertions are false. To be unkind, they
are lies he won't back off from. Hansen, his principal advisor, is
upping the ante by saying the sea level change might not be twenty feet,
instead, it might be 250. Al Gore will go probably down in history as
the guy who claimed to have invented the Internet and human-caused
Global Warming, and they're both bogus claims. It's a hoax, frankly.

: "They don't tell you, that, in their computer models, it's assumed
that CO2 drives global warming. In other words, you assume the result
and say the computer model proves we were right. It's garbage in,
garbage out. If you don't program the computers to cause temperatures to
rise with CO2, then you have nothing." Dr. Don J. Easterbrook, Professor
