El Dr. Roy Spencer, de la Universidad de Alabama, y cooperante con el Instituto Mashall, afirma que los cirros tropicales generan enfriamiento.
En un trabajo que tengo que ver, publicado en los Geophys. Res. Letters (Spencer et al., 9 de Agosto 2007), Spencer sugiere que los cirros tropicales están disminuyendo. En primer lugar, es necesario comprobar esta afirmación mediante estudios paralelos independientes, y en segndo lugar, estudiar si el que disminuyan los cirros tropicales afecta significativamente al calentamiento de la atmósfera. Lo haremos.
Solo por curiosidad, aqui va una parte de la biografía del Prof. Roy Spencer, sacada de Wikipedia:
Views on Intelligent design
On the subject of Intelligent design,
Spencer wrote in 2005, "Twenty years ago, as a PhD scientist, I
intensely studied the evolution versus intelligent design controversy
for about two years. And finally, despite my previous acceptance of
evolutionary theory as 'fact,' I came to the realization that
intelligent design, as a theory of origins, is no more religious, and
no less scientific, than evolutionism. . . . In the scientific
community, I am not alone. There are many fine books out there on the
subject. Curiously, most of the books are written by scientists who
lost faith in evolution as adults, after they learned how to apply the
analytical tools they were taught in college." [7]
Esto es lo que dice Wikipedia sobre el George C. Marshall Institute:
The
George C. Marshall Institute (GMI) was established in 1984 in
Washington, D.C.
"to conduct technical assessments of scientific issues with an impact
on public policy". It is known for its skeptical position on
global warming, and its strong support for the
Strategic Defense Initiative.
n 1999, GMI received grants from the Exxon Education Foundation
[11]. The institute's CEO
William O'Keefe, formerly an executive at the American Petroleum Institute and chairman of the
Global Climate Coalition, is a registered lobbyist for
ExxonMobil.
[12] The GMI was described in a 2007 report by the
Union of Concerned Scientists as an ExxonMobil-funded "clearinghouse for global warming contrarians".
[2] ExxonMobil still currently provides funds to the Institute
[3].
William O'Keefe,
chief executive officer of the Marshall Institute, questions the
methods used by advocates of new government restrictions to combat global warming.
Está claro, ¿no?
