…When I asked Dr Shaviv what his opinion of climate activist Al Gore, he told me: “Al Gore is an idiot who does not know what he is talking about. He shows two graphs and hides the third one. Moreover, there is evidence that temperature rise preceded the CO2 rise (long before the industrial revolution) so that the cause and effect that Al Gore claims is completely wrong.”
When I asked Dr Shaviv what he thought about my ideas on climate change, especially about the possibility that the very future of Israel could be at stake within the next 500 years if climate change is not halted, he replied: “I see your points, Danny, and I remain calm. The sun will take care of it.”
What Dr Shaviv was getting at was this: He believes that the sun is most responsible for the flucuations on the Earth’s temperature over millions of years and that global warming is caused by the sun even now, and is not caused by humans or the industrial output of carbon dioxide emissions or cars or India’s and China’s coal burning factories. He believes the sun will take care of everything and that Al Gore is very very wrong about almost everything.

Listen to the doctor. Physicist, one time government science consultant, and science writer / blogger Dr. John von Kampen was virtually mute on the topic in conversation until I came up with a linkage to geopolitics…and then he was off and running – as was I. Even my sidebar is loaded with notes which I should fire into the file http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.ca/p/environmental-challenges.html
Listen to the doctor. I quip with science writer physicist Dr. John v. Kampen ( we both blog at My Opera ) He didn’t interject anything until I came up with a link to geopolitical energy wars and a hoax to promote fear of manmade global warming. Suddenly information flowed and a fount from Global Research.ca was the least of it. I keep most recent notes in the sidebar as I blog and fire some into a file from time to time. http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.ca/p/environmental-challenges.html
BTW I sent this link to the doctor and he was busy sharing it with his friends – as hysterically funny ! Maybe Dr. Shaviv would react the same way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrURLJ6Vlsg
