Tancredo, Where Is Research That Humans Have Little To Do With Climate Change?
When Grist Magazine asked Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo to clarify his position on global warming, Tancredo responded,
“It may certainly be a phenomenon that’s got nothing to do with the impact of humanity on the environment, or very, very little anyway. It may be a cyclic thing that we will simply have to deal with. I don’t know. There’s plenty of reliable research on both sides.”
Is Tom Tancredo right? Not really. The fact is that there isn’t “plenty of reliable research” that shows that the inmpact of humanity on the environment has “very, very little” to do with global warming. There are a few unreliable, unreviewed assertions arguing Tancredo’s position.
Tancredo’s description of a balanced scientific debate on the causes of global warming is profoundly out of touch with reality. Sadly, his assertions are characteristic of the Republican presidential candidates, who propose yet more delay in confronting the problem which even most of them must now admit is very real.

19,000 American scientist disagree with the “consensus” according to this: http://www.oism.org/pproject/
Uh, J.H., those 19,000 scientists are actually not all scientists, and many of them aren’t even real people. Most of the scientists who did sign the petition aren’t actually trained in climatology or any scientific field related to evaluating global warming. Also, many of the people who originally signed the petition have since publicly expressed their regret in doing so.
In short, that petition is a piece of junk.
