YOUR LETTERS The science of climate change
Open letter to Christine McKenna, Federal Minister of Environment, re: Science of Climate Change, taken from the detailed reports by 19 of the most renowned climate scientists on earth.
“The recent completion of drilling at Vostok station in East Antarctica has allowed the extension of the Ice record of atmospheric composition and climate to the past four glacial-interglacial cycles. The succession of changes through each climate cycle and termination was similar, and atmospheric and climate properties oscillated between stable bounds. Interglacial periods differed in temporal evolution and duration. Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane correlate well with Antarctic air-temperature throughout the record. Present day atmospheric burdens of these two important greenhouse gases seems to have been unprecedented during the past 420,000 years.”
Nature has produced a detailed undeniable truth of glaciations and inter-glaciation over the past 50 million years.
Observation has shown that natural fluctuations of glaciation- inter-glaciation occurs on a predictable time line, 100,000 years of ice with warmer periods of 15-20,000 years. We are approximately 15,000 years into the present inter-glaciation period.
Over the past million years (plus or minus a few thousand years) there have been ten climate changes, global warming episodes substantiated by core samples from numerous locations across the planet, all information obtained through scientific research and observations from those samples dovetail perfectly with each other.
Scientists have been studying climatic events that have occurred over the previous fifty million years, events recorded in the planet’s data, not computer models generated through falsified information.
I would remind Ms.McKenna that in 2009 the IPCC admitted to the world that they had rewritten and altered reports in an attempt to give credence to that which they could not prove: “climate change caused entirely by mans’ burning of fossil fuels.”
The organization set out to intentionally deceive the world, or to put it bluntly, they lied their collective asses off. Nowhere in any report do they state conclusively that man’s use of fossil fuels is in its entirety the one and only reason we are enduring climate change.
Ms. McKenna, you and the Prime Minister have randomly stated that you will use science in making judgments regarding the environmental issues. You have presented with undeniable scientific proof the existence of climate change of increases and degrees of greenhouse gases during these fluctuations of the Earth’s temperature.
You have taken years of scientific proofs and thrown it under the bus in an attempt of substantiate your insistence that climate change could not possibly occur without human influence as per the claims, “man’s burning of fossil fuels is the cause of climate change.”
As environment minister, you must have access to all IPCC reports and claims by the organization in conjunction with questionable input by the environmental groups that climate change is caused entirely by man’s burning of fossil fuels. If you have such documentation proving unequivocally that man’s burning of fossil fuels is the only cause of climate change then I demand you present this documentation to the general public. We want the truth. We deserve the truth.
