Who Are We Going To Believe: John Gormley Or NASA?

A top NASA scientist says this summer’s crazy weather is caused by global warming. From an Associated Press story on the Globe And Mail’s website:

The relentless, weather-gone-crazy type of heat that has blistered the United States and other parts of the world in recent years is so rare that it can’t be anything but man-made global warming, says a new statistical analysis from a top government scientist.

The research by a man often called the “godfather of global warming” says that the likelihood of such temperatures occurring from the 1950s through the 1980s was rarer than 1 in 300. Now, the odds are closer to 1 in 10, according to the study by NASA scientist James Hansen. He says that statistically what’s happening is not random or normal, but pure and simple climate change.

“This is not some scientific theory. We are now experiencing scientific fact,” Hansen told The Associated Press in an interview.

John Gormley is skeptical about global warming. A real scientist working in a relevant field isn’t. Nearly ALL scientists studying climate accept that human activities are warming the planet and the consequences are frightening.

Who are Saskatchewanians going to believe? The answer will say a lot about us.

About Stephen Whitworth

Stephen Whitworth is a life-long fan of newspapers and alternative media who got his start in the student press a hundred years ago. He moved to Regina in the fall of 1998 and Prairie Dog recklessly hired him nine months later. It was a terrible mistake and the publication deeply regrets its inability to get rid of him. When Whitworth’s not adding typos to the hard work of Prairie Dog’s many terrific writers, writing hilarious (to him) headlines and finding inventive new ways to make the paper late for its bi-weekly press deadline, he enjoys reading magazines, newspapers and alternative comics, listening to music, playing board games, and drinking and eating. He has a cat and seven six pet snakes (R.I.P, Fred).

    Between popular support for the Sask party, Pat Fiacco, and the Fouge, do we really need another metric for how incredibly idiotic we are?

    I mean, another one besides the half-baked support for a stadium plan that changes every 3 weeks.
