Climate change will be considered "a joke"

According to meteorologist Augie Auer, "We're all going to survive this. It's all going to be a joke in five years," he said in regards to the idea of man made Global Warming. He went on to tell members at the annual meeting of Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers in Ashburton that "it is time to attack the myth of global warming."

The following excerpts are from the Timaru Herald:

"Water vapour was responsible for 95 per cent of the greenhouse effect, an effect which was vital to keep the world warm, he explained.

'If we didn't have the greenhouse effect the planet would be at minus 18 deg C but because we do have the greenhouse effect it is plus 15 deg C, all the time.'

The other greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, and various others including CFCs, contributed only five per cent of the effect, carbon dioxide being by far the greatest contributor at 3.6 per cent.

However, carbon dioxide as a result of man's activities was only 3.2 per cent of that, hence only 0.12 per cent of the greenhouse gases in total. Human-related methane, nitrogen dioxide and CFCs etc made similarly minuscule contributions to the effect: 0.066, 0.047 and 0.046 per cent respectively.

Listening to Al Gore, I thought these individuals who disagreed with the Global Warming hysteria didn't exist...

Auer: "It's become a witch-hunt; a Salem witch-hunt."
