‘To predict the temperature at the year 2099 is a fool’s errand’

Posted

The editorial regarding global warming (www.riverreporter.com/editorial/4302/2014/09/24/just-time) was quite disappointing. The one scientific fact that you deliberately failed to mention was that there has been no discernable rise in the temperature of the earth for the past 16 years (Ross McKitrick, professor of economics, University of Guelph, Canada; Robert Carter James Cook University, Australia; David Whitehouse, Global Warming Foundation, London, United Kingdom). Every one of the global warming models completely failed to predict this fact.

Attempting to predict the temperature at the year 2099 is a fool’s errand. The honest truth is that all the variables that tend to change the temperature of the earth are simply not sufficiently understood at this time to make such a prediction. It would appear that the writer of that editorial has waded in over the top of his or her waders. The water pouring into those waders is icy cold not even lukewarm.
