Huntsman Dead WRONG on Global Warming Candidate is "crazy" to believe discredited "science"
GOP candidate Jon Huntsman, whose poll numbers linger in the low single digits, took a giant leap backward when he hopped on the disintegrating Al Gore bandwagon by taking potshots at rival candidate Texas Gov. Perry's position on the discredited human-caused-global-warming theory. Evidently, Huntsman is not aware that the wheels have come off the Gore bandwagon and it is coming apart at the seams!
Candidate Huntsman claims GOP candidates who oppose the discredited human-caused-global-warming-theory are taking a position "that basically runs counter to what 98 of 100 climate scientists have said, what the National Academy of Sciences has said about what is causing climate change and man's contribution to it, I think we find ourselves on the wrong side of science and, therefore, in a losing position."
Ignoring Huntsman's tortured grammar, consider the following contradictory evidence:
Candidate Huntsman's belief that "98 of 100 climate scientists" support the discredited human-caused-global-warming theory is, in itself, complete fiction. Evidently, Huntsman has been listening to Al Gore, who's penchant for making up statistics is legendary.
Huntsman should do himself a favor and take a moment to view the names of more than 31,000 American scientists (including over 9,000 PhDs) who disavow the discredited human-caused-global-warming theory. There are other lists of top scientists in appropriate disciplines who strongly oppose the discredited conclusions of the IPCC (see one of those lists below).
It would benefit Huntsman to actually know something about the subject of climate change rather than simply relying on talking points that sound like they're right out of the Obama campaign playbook! These recent papers by distinguished scientists who do not agree with the glib pronouncements of candidate Huntsman on climate change/global warming would make a good beginning to Huntsman's climate change education:
I strongly encourage Huntsman continue his education with the excellent work of Professor Robert M. Carter, Climate: The Counter Consensus. Carter's work convincingly refutes every aspect of the human-caused-global-warming theory. No rational objective reader of Carter's book can come away with any remaining belief in the discredited human-caused-global-warming theory.
Should Huntsman heed this advice, he will avoid making a fool of himself with his future pronouncements on this topic. If not, he will deserve the certain obscurity he will so richly have earned.
Gallop shows Huntsman at the bottom of the pack at a mere 1%. A well-deserved obscurity for a candidate who hasn't bothered to become educated on an important subject. Huntsman has swallowed the Gore/IPCC line without question. He will deserve the political indigestion that brings him.
Biography - Bob Webster
Author of "Looking Out the Window", an evidence-based examination of the "climate change" issue, Bob Webster, is a 12th-generation descendent of both the Darte family (Connecticut, 1630s) and the Webster family (Massachusetts, 1630s). He is a descendant of Daniel Webster's father, Revolutionary War patriot Ebenezer Webster, who served with General Washington. Bob has always had a strong interest in early American history, our Constitution, U.S. politics, and law. Politically he is a constitutional republican with objectivist and libertarian roots. He has faith in the ultimate triumph of truth and reason over deception and emotion. He is a strong believer in our Constitution as written and views the abandonment of constitutional restraint by the regressive Progressive movement as a great danger to our Republic. His favorite novel is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and believes it should be required reading for all high school students so they can appreciate the cost of tolerating the growth of unconstitutional crushingly powerful central government. He strongly believes, as our Constitution enshrines, that the interests of the individual should be held superior to the interests of the state.
A lifelong interest in meteorology and climatology spurred his strong interest in science. Bob earned his degree in Mathematics at Virginia Tech, graduating in 1964.
