The Daily Doubter

Wednesdayโ€™s Calgary Sun brought the triumphal announcement thatย we can stop worrying about global warming: โ€œGLOBAL SCAM; KYOTO MAY JUST BE BAD SCIENCE.โ€ The story, by Editor Licia Corbella, opened byย saying:

โ€œMany of the worldโ€™s top climatologists who live right here in Canada, have not even bothered to take a short train ride to attend the meeting. Why? Well, letโ€™s ask Dr. Tim Patterson, a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences (paleoclimatology) at Carleton University in Ottawa and a world-renowned expert in theย field.โ€

โ€œI canโ€™t be bothered,โ€ he replied from his university office. โ€œItโ€™s just a waste ofย time.

โ€œThe IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN body) is primarily a political operation and the scientists have pretty much been cut out of it. Nobody at that meeting in Montreal wants to hear scientific fact; they want to make posters and make uninformed proclamations and policy based on untruths,โ€ saidย Patterson.

No question that this Kyoto meeting is more a policy session than a science fair. Itโ€™s true, too, that Dr. Patterson isย renowned in climate circles. Callย any Canadian climate scientists โ€“ anywhere in the country โ€“ and whoever answers will be able to tell you that Patterson is one of four workingย (and one retired) Canadian academicsย who can consistently be counted upon to argue forย inaction.

Hereโ€™s a challenge to Ms. Corbella. If there are indeed โ€œmanyโ€ Canadian scientists who doubt the consensus, let her produce them and attest to their bona fides. Otherwise, let her give the space to the considerably larger crowdย pressing Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin to start taking this issueย seriously.
