As noted in a earlier post, I have no great respect for Rick Perry. But, as a student of climate change, and a graduate engineer with coursework in both meteorology and ocean engineering, his take on climate change is spot-on. Most of those strongly advocating for climate-change legislation (and "wrenching" changes to the economy as a result) despise growth and commerce and reliance on fossil fuels, regardless of the correlation, if any, between those activities and climate change. And, having reviewed much of the climate change literature, I can rest assured that until someone makes and stands by verifiable predictions as to climate, and those predictions are then verified over the passage of time, I have no cause to worry about whether CO2 emissions are making the weather better or worse. The essence of the scientific method is making hypotheses that are testable. Climatologists refuse to do so.
