Whats wrong with them not being climate scientists? The accusations they had had nothing to do with the actual science and focused on the method and calculations of the scientist in the experiments that they base their conclusions on. Implying that they can't say anything about it would be like saying you can't announce problems with the Bush administration because you aren't a politician.
It didn't say they weren't climate scientists, it said, "neither of them from a climate science background" which means they know absolutely nothing about climate science. The better analogy would be me trying to do rocket science.
I personally have some problems with the global warming crowd:
In 1970, they were saying that the same problems that they are attributing global warming today would cause a "global cooling", saying that "by 2000, the world temp. would fall 11 degrees, twice enough to cause a new ice age"
There was a group just yesterday who made a $10,000 bet with climatologists making the very same claim. Regardless of what you believe or don't believe, the fact that climate change, in some areas drastically, is taking place, can't be disputed.
Four percent of the world's pollution is man-made. Your average large volcano eruption puts more pollution into the air then all of human history combined.
"The US contains 4% of the world's population but produces about 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions. By comparison, Britain emits 3% - about the same as India which has 15 times as many people."
Ozone is naturally occuring, created by the sun's rays. Any holes in the ozone layer (which are supposed to poison us by letting through the sun's radiation) fix themselves naturally. Also, the same enviromental crowd is saying that a) we should stop pollution to prevent depletion of the ozone layer, as to properly block the sun's radiation, and that we should stop pollution, which causes "green house gasses", which cause the sun's radiation to be unable to bounce out of earth. Ozone is a green house gas, and radiation doesn't bounce off earth, it's absorbed. The earth itself absorbs radiation, and the ozone layer does, too (creating more ozone).
"Until recently, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were used widely in industry and elsewhere as refrigerants, insulating foams, and solvents. Strong winds carry CFCs into the stratosphere in a process that can take as long as 2 to 5 years. When CFCs break down in the stratosphere, they release chlorine, which attacks ozone. Each chlorine atom acts as a catalyst, repeatedly combining with and breaking apart as many as 100,000 ozone molecules during its stratospheric life.
Other ozone-depleting substances include pesticides such as methyl bromide, halons used in fire extinguishers, and methyl chloroform used in industrial processes."
I'm not saying it isn't possible, but there ARE some obvious holes.
