Your Opinion: Let science address climate

Dear Editor:

Everyone wants to reduce pollution but the pollution problem is as complicated as it is serious. It is complicated because such pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example automobiles provide transportation, factories provide jobs, fertilizers and pesticides are important aids to the growing of crops.

Thus to end or greatly reduce pollution immediately people would have to stop using many things that benefit them. With effort some of the pollution from these materials could be eliminated. But just as prevention of pollution is often considered too expensive it is often considered too inconvenient.

In analyzing the cause of pollution however we must take account of the economic, political, psychological approach toward pollution.

Global warming or climate change ideology is politically motivated based on speculation and rumors not science.

"I have studied climate change seriously for years. It has become a political and environment agenda item but the science is not valid." John Coleman, co-founder of the Weather Channel.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced in January, "While 2014 was warmer than 2013 in the lower 48 states, it was still only the 34th warmest on record." That contrasts with President Obama's announcement that August 2014 was the warmest month on record.

Democrats much like P.T. Barnum and Robert Ripley were responsible for presenting some of the most outstanding statements and claims of all time.

Since Obama came into office the research of skeptics have been suppressed, grants denied to anyone with opposing views, the world's largest businesses are under fire from far left climatologists for not actively responding to climate science and data.

"Industry is the lifeblood of our economic system and technology has had a solution to the smokestack problem for over a century in the shape of electrostatic smoke precipitators. Also known as scrubbers or filters snatch the soot and ash from dirty air ..." - Chris Woodford.

There are problems with conventional wind turbines. It would take many such turbines to reach the capacity equivalent of a large 100 to 1000- MW nuclear or fossil fuel power plant. James Yen's Tornado turbine concept calls for a large stationary tower with higher outputs than bare turbines.

The question remains pollution cannot be legislated from society and population control cannot be forced on anyone. Let the pollution problem be decided by the scientific method where it belongs and not with some pompous politician in Washington.
