The Ohio Section of the American Institute of Professional Geologists has adopted a position statement rejecting global warming alarmism and calling on Congress to defeat legislation aimed at restricting carbon dioxide emissions.
The position paper reflects growing scientific sentiment that humans are not causing a global warming crisis.
“The Ohio Section of the American Institute of Professional Geologists does hereby oppose House Bill H.R. 2454, the Markey-Waxman ‘cap & trade’ bill,” says the position statement. “The bill is based on the premise that human production of CO2 gas is responsible for ‘global warming’ and that ‘global warming poses a significant threat to the national security, economy, public health and welfare, and environment of the United States and other countries.’ The Ohio Section of AIPG professes that there is no scientific evidence supporting this premise. We therefore reject the bill’s aforementioned, unsupported premise. Subsequently, we also reject the bill’s alarmist claims and unprecedented, economy-wide, government-control proposals.”
