An update from the International Climate Change Summit taking place in Copenhagen. Apparently, former United States Vice-President Al Gore delivered a heated speech calling for immediate action to prevent a complete melting of the ice in the Arctic region. Al Gore quoted Dr. Maslowski, saying that the doctor told him that there is a 75% chance of an ice-free summer in the region within five years. The former VP neglected to mention that this was an exaggerated retelling of a conversation the two shared several years earlier. The doctor has denied making this claim. States Dr. Maslowski, ““It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at. I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”
Again, I have never stated that man caused climate change is, or is not, actually occurring. I am not sure who to believe, there is a lot of evidence on both sides of the argument. I do know this, that if people who believe that climate change is a man caused problem want to convince the world they are right, then they should stick to the facts.
Let the data do the talking.
