UNH Scientist decries climate nay-sayer

-- brucebc -- 07/24/2007

Today's New Hampshire Union Leader features an op-ed written by UNH scientist & professor Dr. Cameron Wake that explains the fallacies in an earlier column written by a global warming denier.  Last week, a local citizen and former meteorologist published an op-ed column expressing that climate change is not happening and is not a human-caused event (if it is happening).  In today's column, Dr. Wake explains:

His is just the latest in a campaign of attempts to confuse the general public about global warming. Typical of naysayers, Ward wrote a column for a newspaper where his erroneous results and false statements are not reviewed by other scientists, rather than publishing results in peer-reviewed scientific literature, which is the foundation for the dissemination of scientific analysis.

Luckily for all who're interested in real scientific analysis, Dr. Wake goes on in his excellently written column to inform readers about the real scientific consensus and the data that's actually been recorded by scientists in the region and around the world.
