Professor’s Research Concludes Global Warming Won’t Destroy Earth
Denying global warming is a form of heresy in academia these days.

Prominent professor’s decades of research concludes global warming will not destroy Earth
Dr. John Christy’s findings have made him a target within the scientific community
Dr. John Christy is a highly decorated professor of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville – but despite his awards, accomplishments and distinctions – the fact that he’s an outspoken critic of climate change doomsday predictions has made him a pariah in the scientific community.
He’s been awarded NASA’s Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement for satellite research, has testified before the Congress numerous times, is Alabama’s official state climatologist, and served as a lead author of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
But the very fact that he suggests the world is not on teetering on some dangerous precipice due to global warming makes him an aberration among most scientists who suggest this planet is headed for destruction because of man-made global warming.
One colleague refused to shake Christy’s hand at a symposium, and Christy’s name was also used critically in many infamous “Climategate” emails that indicated global warming claims have been exaggerated, The New York Times reports.
The “Skeptical Science” website calls Christy a “misinformer.” And earlier this year, a Democratic U.S. congressman launched an investigation into Christy’s funding sources, suggesting he’s taking money from the fossil fuel industry. Christy does not.
Meanwhile, Christy methodically moves forward to do what he does best: he studies weather data and shares his findings with the world.
“I don’t let this bother me too much,” Christy said in an email to The College Fix this month about the steep criticisms and name calling he’s faced. “My wife of 39 years suffered with cancer and passed away a few months ago, so I have a perspective on climate intimidation relative to things that are really important.”
“I don’t read sites that attempt to smear me … no sense in engaging people who don’t know what they are talking about.”

Some clown would not shake his hand? Having earned a Ph.D., I can tell you that there are a lot of dopes who have also earned one. The press would like you to believe that Christy is the one who does not know what he is doing. He, however, is a real scientist. It is the proponents of warming who are incompetent. My hat is off to Christy.
Considering everything going on, would it be so bad if global warming DID destroy the earth? How do we speed it up?
