From President Obama's State of the Union Speech, January 2010:
"...overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change..." [see below]
"...it means passing a comprehensive energy and climate bill with incentives that will finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy in America..."
"We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement...there is no convincing evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth."
Petition signed by Dr. Edward Teller, Ph.D. Physics, 9,000 other Ph.D.'s and over 31,000 American scientists.
Climate change advocates are regrettably alienating the general population, causing misdirected debate on the climate when the root cause - our energy policies - get less attention or economically distorted solutions such as cap and trade, the Waxman-Markey Bill (H.R. 2454), and policy dis-incentives such as the California Solar initiative.
In the meanwhile, private market efforts for the creation of new energy generation initiatives suffer from federal and state dis-incentives to discover and develop non-carbon-based energy solutions.
