Climate expert says new 'global
warming' legislation will cripple poor

Dr. Roy Spencer, a scientist who has been studying climate change
for the past two decades, says defenders of supposed "manmade
global warming" are proposing policy changes and legislation
that will put heavy burdens on the poorest of the poor.
A principal research scientist at the University of Alabama
in Huntsville, Dr. Spencer directs a number of climate research
projects. The expert in climate change says much of the hysteria
over global warming is not based on scientific fact.
Spencer recently released a book titled Climate Confusion: How
Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians
and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor. He believes advocates
of manmade global warming favor reforms and legislation that will
cripple the poor. "When you start punishing wealth, you're
going to be reducing a generation of wealth by punishing the use
of energy, [from] which all human activity is required. It's going
to hurt the poor first," Spencer points out.

While the earth's temperature has increased in the past century,
Spencer says the case simply cannot be made for manmade global
warming. He believes there are many scientists who do not advocate
the catastrophic global warming scenario but are too afraid to
speak out against it.
Proposals to curtail global warming, according to Spencer, are
off base. He says many people believe the climate can be fixed
by using "compact fluorescent light bulbs" and by driving
hybrid cars. "The truth is, no matter what you believe about
future global warming, these kinds of measures -- which are basically
just conservation -- are going to have no measurable impact on
future temperatures," Spencer contends.
Spencer believes the earth's temperatures rise and fall in cycles,
and that God created the earth with built-in mechanisms for regulating
the climate system.
