Hooey!

Hooey, I say!

Reid Bryson, known as the father of scientific climatology, considers global warming a bunch of hooey.

There is no question the earth has been warming. It is coming out of the "Little Ice Age," he said in an interview this week.

"However, there is no credible evidence that it is due to mankind and carbon dioxide. We've been coming out of a Little Ice Age for 300 years. We have not been making very much carbon dioxide for 300 years. It's been warming up for a long time," Bryson said.

The Little Ice Age was driven by volcanic activity. That settled down so it is getting warmer, he said.

"There is a lot of money to be made in this," he added. "If you want to be an eminent scientist you have to have a lot of grad students and a lot of grants. You can't get grants unless you say, 'Oh global warming, yes, yes, carbon dioxide.'"

"Reporters will often call the meteorology building seeking the opinion of a scientist and some beginning graduate student will pick up the phone and say he or she is a meteorologist, Bryson said. "And that goes in the paper as 'scientists say.'"

So here are your choices who to believe concerning anthropogenic global warming "theory":

1) Reid Bryson, professor emeritus and inventor of modern climatology.

2) Al "Gimme Another Pork Sammich" Gore, political has-been and national embarrassment.

Consider carefully.
