Counciller Burkholder said he was a trained biologist. He also said the science was settled on global warming.

However, continued questioning is part of the scientific process. Burkholder showed his ignorance of basic science because of that statement.

We have a representative form of government on the theory that our representatives will take the time to study the facts before deciding on various matters. Let me ask how many of you recognize the following facts, that scientists on both sides of the debate recognize:

1. Water vapor causes more of the greenhouse effect than CO2.
2. CO2 makes up less than 1/2 of 1% of the atmosphere.
3. The Greenland ice cores, that AL Gore used in his slide show, actually show temperature rising for an average of 800 years BEFORE CO2 rises and therefore could NOT be the cause of the following temperature rises. (Al Gore lied)
4. The accuracy of the hockey stick shaped historical temperature curve is highly controversial.
5. Natural sources emit over 95% of the annual CO2 emissions.

Did all of you know all of the above facts?
If not you didn’t do your duty to be informed before voting.
