Climate change scientist Ian Plimer argues CO2 is not causing global warming

Subject: txt grn -
Professor Ian Plimer, a geologist from Adelaide University, argues that the mild rise in temperature around the world a decade ago was caused by solar cycles and other "extra terrestrial" forces. He said carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, widely blamed for global warming, is a natural phenomenon caused by volcanoes erupting.

"We cannot stop carbon emissions because most of them come from volcanoes," ... "It is a normal element cycled around in the earth and my science, which is looking back in time, is saying we have had a planet that has been a green, warm wet planet 80 per cent of the time.

"We have had huge climate change in the past and to think the very slight variations we measure today are the result of our life - we really have to put ice blocks in our drinks."

[As further evidenced {not modeled - but data} by the cooling of he last decade tracking perfectly with a reduction in sun spot activity.]
