these "daily coming forward" scientists who question global warming. I

did?</FONT></DIV>

17, 2011<BR>By Brian Montopoli<BR><BR>Rick Perry suggests global warming is a
hoax<BR><BR>Perry said scientists are coming forward almost daily to question
"the<BR>original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing
the<BR>climate to change." He said the climate is changing but that it
has<BR>been changing "ever since the earth was
formed."<BR>-------------------------------<BR>Rick Perry's recent comments on
global warming (more lower down) are<BR>so misinformed, it is scary. Many
scientists with relevant expertise<BR>with no corruption involved are coming
forward to call for action to<BR>address human impacts on climate, not to
question whether there is<BR>credible scientific evidence human impacts are
profound. Perry must<BR>be living in a bubble or in
denial.<BR><BR>Consider the following from the Union of Concerned
Scientists:<BR><BR><A

and Economists' Call to Action<BR><BR>The U.S. Scientists and Economists' Call
for Swift and Deep Cuts in<BR>Greenhouse Gas Emissions is a call to our nation's
leaders to require<BR>immediate, deep reductions in heat-trapping emissions that
cause<BR>global warming. The statement is endorsed by more than
2,000<BR>scientists and economists with expertise relevant to our
understanding<BR>of the scientific and economic dimensions of climate change,
its<BR>impacts, and solutions. This marks the first time leading
U.S.<BR>scientists and economists have joined together to make such an
appeal.<BR><BR>The statement was released in March 2010 and delivered to every
member<BR>of Congress, but is still open to new signatures. Endorsers from
ten<BR>states personally delivered the letter to their Senators
and<BR>Representatives, just as Congress is considering climate and
energy<BR>legislation.<BR><BR>This unprecedented list of signatories includes
eight Nobel Prize<BR>winners in science or economics, 32 members of the National
Academy of<BR>Sciences, 10 members of the National Academy of Engineering,
11<BR>recipients of the MacArthur Fellowship, three National Medal of<BR>Science
recipients, and more than 100 members of the Intergovernmental<BR>Panel on
Climate Change, which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace
Prize.<BR>-------------------------<BR><A

Warming<BR><BR>The Earth is warming and human activity is the primary cause.
Climate<BR>disruptions put our food and water supply at risk, endanger
our<BR>health, jeopardize our national security, and threaten other
basic<BR>human needs. Some impacts—such as record high temperatures,
melting<BR>glaciers, and severe flooding and droughts—are already
becoming<BR>increasingly common across the country and around the world. So

Montopoli<BR><BR>Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry said Wednesday
morning<BR>that he does not believe in global warming science and suggested it
is<BR>grounded in scientists manipulating data for financial gain.<BR><BR>The
Texas governor was appearing at a New Hampshire breakfast event<BR>with business
leaders Wednesday morning when he said "there are a<BR>substantial number of
scientists who have manipulated data so that<BR>they will have dollars rolling
into their projects."<BR><BR>Perry said scientists are coming forward almost
daily to question "the<BR>original idea that man-made global warming is what is
causing the<BR>climate to change." He said the climate is changing but that it
has<BR>been changing "ever since the earth was formed."<BR><BR>Perry added that
"the issue of global warming has been politicized,"<BR>and argued that America
should not spend billions of dollars<BR>addressing "a scientific theory that has
not been proven, and from my<BR>perspective is more and more being put into
question."<BR>------------------------------------------<BR>Vision2020 Post: Ted
