READERCOMMENTS continued from pg. 9 causing global warming. Are you unaware of the recent findings that have falsified the human-caused global warming hypothesis? In brief, the “positive reinforcement” climate model used to predict that increasing atmospheric CO2 will cause temperature increases that spiral out of control has not been verified and, instead, just the opposite has been observed. If you want documentation, I’ll be happy to provide it. Meanwhile, the short article linked here is worth reading in this regard. www.theaustralian.news. com.au/story/0,,24036736-17803,00.html You must also know that in May more why Skim? • Better ﬁnished product and manufacturing process • Improved water treatment system at a reduced cost • Addresses environmental concerns • Skimmed oil has value why the Tube? • Movement of ﬂoating tube on the surface draws in the oil • Adjusts to level ﬂuctuation • All working parts seated above water level • Designed to operate 24/7 – minimal maintenance • Easily mounted • Removes oil, not water • Not affected by ﬂoating debris why Oil Skimmers, Inc.? • Has solved thousands of oil removal problems in all types of industries • Has supplied dependable equipment for over 40 years • Worldwide network of factory-trained representatives • Performance guarantee • Can supply complete turn-key system For the right solution to your waste oil problem, contact us today at www.oilskim.com World Class Quality in Oil Skimming 12800 York Road • Cleveland, OH 44133 USA • Web: www.oilskim.com USA Toll Free: 800-200-4603 • Phone: 440-237-4600 • Fax: 440-582-2759 ©2008 Oil Skimmers, Inc. than 31,000 00 credentialed professionals, s, over 9,000 with h Putting a INSIDE: Ph.D.s, preon sented a signed petition to the EMISSION S U. S. government refuting the claim that carbon dioxide is harming the Earth’s climate and that, on the other h d d ti mitigation hand, drastic iti ti schemes such as the Kyoto Protocol and related cap-and-trade schemes that you seem to promote would be harmful to our health and welfare. I’ll also note that the number of defectors from the UN IPCC has grown to about 100. At less than 400 ppm, CO2 is merely a trace component in the atmosphere and constitutes only 4 percent of greenhouse gases. Human-caused CO2 is only 3 percent to 4 percent of total atmospheric CO2, and the remainder comes from natural sources (and, incidentally, produces lots of vegetation). Human-emitted CO2, therefore, is at most only 0.0016 of greenhouse gases. To suppose that adjusting this figure down some could possibly affect the Earth’s climate is an obvious absurdity. The dominant greenhouse gas by far is water vapor, which is responsible for roughly 90 percent of the greenhouse effect. Why is there not a call to regulate water vapor? Since the term “climate change” appears in your article, you have probably also noticed how the “global warming crisis” has lately morphed into “climate change crisis.” My guess is that’s because the Earth has been cooling in the current decade. So far as I know, temperature increases since 1940 occurred in only two decades – the 1980s and 1990s (remember the global cooling crisis of the 1970s) – sand the temperature variations tracked with variations in solar activity rather than the steady increase in CO2 emissions. I’m not a climate scientist, just a concerned citizen that collects information from journals and the alternative media. I’d be pleased to learn of anything in this letter that isn’t accurate.
