Inaccurate climate predictions

Editor,

Letter writer Scott Abramson is correct when he says to “wait for evidence from both sides.” Mathew Johnson proves Scott’s point when he insists that “we have already listened to both sides.”

Bob Cohen is a scientist who deals with facts while lobbyist, politicians and some scientist preach “climate catastrophe” base on un-predictive models. Historical evidence shows the earth has become greener and slightly warmer since the Little Ice Age ended in 1800. This cycle of climate change has happened 11 times in the past 10,000 years. Long before man made warming could pose a threat, technology is available to safely and inexpensively cool the planet with aerosols. The billions of dollars going green energy research will no doubt produce green energy that's less expensive than fossil fuels and drive them out of the market.

Thank you for your letter and statistics, Mr. Cohen. It seems every week, we get a number of letters lecturing us on this global warming thing, yet none of the letters enlighten us on what these letter writers are actually doing to save the planet. Or maybe they all know we don’t need to do anything to save the planet. Maybe they’re just bucking to get some of the billions of dollars that are being spent to push the global warming narrative.

The indoctrination is strong with you, Terence. The evidence is there; you just refuse to actually look at accredited sources. Sad to see this level of climate conspiracy is still festering in our community.

Seriously, that’s the best response you have? Let me turn it around… The indoctrination is strong with you, Owen_Day. The evidence is there; you just refuse to actually look at accredited sources. Sad to see this level of climate conspiracy is still festering in our community.

Now we’re back where we started from… other than your cheap shot, you’re not enlightening us on what you’re doing to save the planet and you’re definitely not pushing back on Mr. Cohen’s statistics. Perhaps you agree, as Mr. Cohen has asserted, that it’s a shame we base our future on horrific, inaccurate predictions and so you don’t need to do anything? BTW, I’m sure Mr. Cohen has looked at accredited sources to provide the facts and statistics in his LTE.

Bob Cohen supported his insights with facts. Your response did not.

I seem to recall that a satellite crashed on the surface of Mars because the scientists had admittedly confused inches and centimeters to calculate the required landing clearance. I have found the same errors in various NOAA reports in which inches were confused with feet. That scare was apparently enough for the city officials of Foster City to destroy the water views of their residents along the bay. This for a projected sea level rise that may, may happen in 50 years or so. Meanwhile, the recent water damage actually was driven by flooding from heavy rainfall, behind the new levies.
