Are We Asking The Right Questions About Climate Change?

In two recent TNT Radio interviews with Ron Barmby, author of “Sunlight on Climate Change: A Heretic’s Guide to Global Climate Hysteria” and a featured Climate Change Dispatch writer, he suggests that we have become bogged down in the wrong debate.

In the cultural battlefield that includes the polarized climate-change debate, we should pause to consider if we are even asking the relevant questions.


The Earth is Not a Greenhouse

On Deprogram with Michael Parker (May 26), the host asked Barmby if we are in a ‘climate crisis‘ and his answer, “No”, was an eye-opener. Barmby goes on to explain his reasoning.


A professional engineer who holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, Barmby easily explains the only commonality between greenhouse and the greenhouse-gas effect is the word greenhouse.

Question 1: Does climate change exist?

Answer: Obviously. From the standpoint of a geologist, and having examined sediments laid down in the last 600,000,000 or so years from boreholes it is evident that the climate changes, and has changed drastically at any given place on the planet, over time.

Question 2: Do humans have anything to do with that?

Answer 2: Well, according to accepted theory, we didn't have anything to do with the first 596,000,000 years or so of that time frame, and it is likely we have had little or no effect on the rest of it. It is a natural process, and one we may have  recently witnessed, but as passengers/bystanders, not a driving force.
That isn't saying we can't make places particularly nasty or unhealthy for our own habitation by the production and accumulation of our own wastes and byproducts, but all in all, we don't change the climate, we just live amongst our own mess. That's more a matter of housekeeping than adjusting the thermostat.

Now, can we stop this ridiculous stupidity that is doing more damage to the place we live in that it will ever be able to do to change the temperature of the planet, and focus more on adapting to the natural changes we will be faced with in the future.
