I also agree, but I wouldn't know how to start. Suggestions anyone?
As for skepticism, MY read of the presentation is that we SHOULD be skeptical, even of Burt's charts. Since it was a live powerpoint presentation, the lack of bibliography is not unusual, but I do hope there is one somewhere. As I originally wrote, "It makes me want to check his data". That includes straight lines, etc.
Now, if we ASSUME he is 100% correct in stating that Man's activities are not the cause of Global Climate Change (
and that is not necessarily a valid assumption!), I just want to point out that conserving energy and saving the environment and all the other Green stuff that's so popular is NOT necessarily a bad idea! We
should be looking for alternative energy sources, ways of reducing pollution, and being kinder to our environment. We just need to avoid destroying the economy with unnecessary actions and mandates.
