Washington, D.C.-Just as President Obama vowed in his inaugural address to "respond to the threat of climate change," The Right Climate Stuff (TRCS)-a research team composed of several retired NASA scientists and engineers-today released a preliminary report summary concluding that "there is no convincing physical evidence of catastrophic anthropogenic [human caused] global warming."
The team, which has expertise in physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, biology, data analysis and interpretation, and complex systems modeling-and no current ties to the energy industries-has spent the past year analyzing the evidence for global warming in order to determine to what extent can human-related releases of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere cause earth surface temperature increases that would have harmful effects.[More]
