"Here's my stand on the issue since I was skewered for my anti-AGW
stance last week!
Love your site!"
Mark Johnson, Chief Meteorologist
WEWS TV-5 ABC
Cleveland, Ohio
5 Dec08 – Excerpts: Many of you have read the front page Plain Dealer
article titled, “Cleveland-area
TV meteorologists disagree with prevailing attitude about climate change.”
This article correctly claims that I, as well as many of my on-air
colleagues are skeptical of the Man-Made Global Warming Hypothesis that
is so prominent in today’s headlines.
In general, I believe that the earth has cycles of warm and cold, wet
and dry. Indeed, global climate extremes are a part of the natural cycle
and have been occurring for millions of years.
Climate change is a part of life. Yes, it’s true
that, from 1978 to 1998, the planet experienced warming. The question
remains: is MAN the cause of recent warming trends? Is Carbon Dioxide
produced by humans the reason for recent warming trends of the 1980s &
1990s? Will temperatures continue to rise out of control? Will this set
in motion the melting of glaciers, a 20-foot rise in sea levels,
increased famine and drought? For answers to these questions, you must
rely on SCIENCE.
Let’s understand the driving force behind Man-Made Global Warming. In
the late 1980’s, the United Nations created the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC). Their mission was NOT to seek the truth about
the recent warming trend. They were chartered “with the express charge
of finding a scientific basis for a global climate treaty.” Do you see
the difference? They pick and choose which studies best suit their
agenda. They also censor dissenting opinions. Are they skewing the data
to fit their conclusion? That is for you to decide.
