According to the Boston Herald<\/a>, former astronaut Harrison Schmitt, has stated that he doesn’t believe that humans are causing global warming.  Schmitt is scheduled to speak next month at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York.  <\/p>\n

Schmitt has a science degree from the California Institute of Technology. He also studied geology at the University of Oslo in Norway and took a doctorate in geology from Harvard University in 1964.<\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

“Dan Williams, publisher with the Chicago-based Heartland Institute, which is hosting the climate change conference, said he invited Schmitt after reading about his resignation from The Planetary Society, a nonprofit dedicated to space exploration.<\/p>\n

Schmitt resigned after the group blamed global warming on human activity. In his resignation letter, the 74-year-old geologist argued that the “global warming scare is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making.”<\/p>\n

Schmitt said he’s heartened that the upcoming conference is made up of scientists who haven’t been manipulated by politics.”<\/p>\n

It is encouraging to me that there are enough skeptics out there (70 scheduled to speak next month at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York) to have this conference.  I wish the media would give this conference the coverage that Al Gore always gets when he speaks on global warming (always on the coldest day of the year–the “Al Gore Effect”).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
