A Washington Whispers item in US News and World Report says that a noted scientist is trying to convince congress that carbon dioxide does not cause global warming.
A noted geologist who coauthored the New York Times bestseller Sugar Busters has turned his attention to convincing Congress that carbon dioxide emissions are good for Earth and don't cause global warming. Leighton Steward is on Capitol Hill this week armed with studies and his book Fire, Ice and Paradisein a bid to show senators working on the energy bill that the carbon dioxide cap-and-trade scheme could actually hurt the environment by reducing CO2 levels.
"I'm trying to kill the whole thing," he says. "We are tilting at windmills." He is meeting with several GOP lawmakers and has plans to meet with some Democrats later this week.
Trying to convince congressional Democrats that their justification for regulating the world economy is mistaken, well there's tilting at windmills for you. Good luck with that Mr. Steward.
