Sam Bodman, Energy Secretary, is a smart guy - a doctorate from MIT, at which he later taught - and a successful businessman - president of Fidelity and Cabot Corp. Why he would say that the US is a small contributor to global warming can only be attributed to man's penchant for saying a stupid thing every so often, ala Joe Biden, another bright guy.
While the scientific establishment has been wrong on major issues every so often (witness Galileo for starters), it seems to this non-scientist that we're in deep s**t with regards to global warming. Every report that has been issued on global warming has been more dire. The situation may become even worse faster than the report issued this week predicts. An article in the journal Science compared today's world with that predicted in 2001 by the climate change establishment. Temperatures and sea levels are either worse than predicted or very close to the maximums that were predicted.
The American Enterprise Institute apparently does not believe that the world is getting warmer. They have offered $10,000 plus expenses for articles that point out errors in the UN report referred to above. Would the fact that the Institute has received a bundle of money from Exxon have had any influence on the offer?
