Only the world's smartest people are allowed to do stuff like this! And this one, pictured above in an old photo, says the global warming/climate change stuff is pure B.S.Story here.

SANTA FE, N.M. - Former astronaut Harrison Schmitt, who walked on the moon and once served New Mexico in the U.S. Senate, doesn’t believe that humans are causing global warming.
"I don’t think the human effect is significant compared to the natural effect," said Schmitt, who is among 70 skeptics scheduled to speak next month at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York.
(...)
"They’ve seen too many of their colleagues lose grant funding when they haven’t gone along with the so-called political consensus that we’re in a human-caused global warming," Schmitt said.
(...)
"global warming scare is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making."
(...)
"It’s one of the few times you’ve seen a sizable portion of scientists who ought to be objective take a political position and it’s coloring their objectivity."
Oh, and by the way, he, too, is a scientist.
What consensus? Gimme a break. If there's any "consensus", there's actually TWO of them on the whole debate. And guess which side is shrinking, losing signatories, and which is growing, including gaining former IPCC signatories who left that side?
You know, I was just now thinking... how the Senators didn't read the "stimulus" bill even though they consented to whatever the hell it said. So how do we know that the alleged "consensus" of a claimed 2,500 scientists... how do we know that they bothered to read the monstrous IPCC study, which is so much more incredibly massive than the "stimulus" bill, which itself is a mere 1,000-odd pages?
You know, I don't think that the IPCC signatories bothered to read the monstrously gigantic study of that corrupt, dishonest, evil-controlled United Nations-offshot organization. Only fools assume that they did. Get real! They just signed on like the Democratic Senators because they wanted to be a part of something they were told (and believed) was big and true. Of course, both politicians and scientists are only human, therefore imperfect... and corruptible, lured into lying for big bucks... Democratic Senators and IPCC signatories alike!
