Climate Change is happening now, and so is biased science

Apollo astronaut takes
on UN climate report.

Al Gore infamously compared people who correct the record on “climate change” to people who “still believe that the moon landing was staged on a movie lot.”

That was news to the space pioneers who successfully landed 12 Americans on the moon.

Dr. Harrison Schmitt is a geologist who walked on the moon during Apollo 17, the last Apollo mission.

A New York Times reporter challenged him on global warming and got more than he bargained for.

NYT: I’d love to know if you see any irony in your views on people who denied man walking on the moon vs. your views on climate change.

Dr. Schmitt: I see no irony at all. I’m a geologist. I know the Earth is not nearly as fragile as we tend to think it is. It has gone through climate change, it is going through climate change at the present time. The only question is, is there any evidence that human beings are causing that change? Right now, in my profession, there is no evidence.

I, as a scientist, expect to have people question orthodoxy. And we always used to do that. Now, unfortunately, funding by governments, particularly the U.S. government, is biasing science toward what the government wants to hear. That’s a very dangerous thing that’s happening in science today, and it’s not just in climate. I see it in my own lunar research.
