Scientists support global warming data

-->

Tom Creegan's letter to the editor of Nov. 24 prompted me to write this response. In today's political environment and media bias, it's difficult to find the truth, but I believe with global warming we have real data and thoughtful analysis that might surprise you.

American scientists with university degrees totaling 31,486 - including 9,029 Ph.D.s - have signed a petition essentially stating the U.S. government should reject the global warming agreement signed in Kyoto in 1997 and any other similar proposals. They further state there's no convincing scientific evidence that human generated CO2, 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.

How and why would so many scientists come together on any issue? They believe one of the three most important molecular substances that make life possible - atmospheric carbon dioxide (the other two being oxygen and water) - is denigrated as an atmospheric "pollutant" in a widely circulated movie. The search for truth is the essence of science. When science is misrepresented, scientists are naturally incensed.

In fact, these scientists believe there is substantial evidence that increases in atmospheric CO2 produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

Don't take my word for it, check out www.petition project.org and see the data, the analysis, the conclusions and the credentials of this vast group of scientists ... and, as Creegan suggests, make up your own mind
