Forecaster Blasts Gore on Global Warming
myway.com - April 7, 2007
This is actually an AP story that was run by myway. In this story, a top hurricane forecaster has called the former Vice President of the US “a gross alarmist”. While I am not qualified to make a such a strong statement, I do think that this is evidence of my position. My position is that we don’t know. When top scientists such as Dr. Gray have such an obviously different opinion than other top scientists, then we don’t have a consensus. If we do not have a consensus then the politicians shouldn’t get involved. Instead, let’s spend time and effort at figuring this out.
A top hurricane forecaster called Al Gore “a gross alarmist” Friday for making an Oscar-winning documentary about global warming. “He’s one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things. I think he’s doing a great disservice and he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Dr. William Gray said in an interview with The Associated Press at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans, where he delivered the closing speech.
Gray, an emeritus professor at the atmospheric science department at Colorado State University, has long railed against the theory that heat-trapping gases generated by human activity are causing the world to warm.
Rather than global warming, Gray believes a recent uptick in strong hurricanes is part of a multi-decade trend of alternating busy and slow periods related to ocean circulation patterns. Contrary to mainstream thinking, Gray believes ocean temperatures are going to drop in the next five to 10 years.
