Audubon of Florida Deputy Director Eric Draper plays the Al Gore card by dictating that the science behind supposed man-made climate change is “indisputable.”
Meanwhile a group of 31,478 American scientists from the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change recently signed a petition stating that:
“there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”
But here’s the best question: Does the cure cost more or less than the supposed problem? Insurance is great when it is cost effective. But even the EPA recently concluded that the latest Congressional climate change bill would cost more than ten times its benefit.
Indeed, as former Greenpeace activist Bjorn Lomborg mentioned, for the cost of carbon cap-and-trade policies we could instead give every human on the planet clean drinking water.
