In a Fortune interview, noted climatologist John Christy contends the
green crusade to fight climate change is "all cost and no benefit."
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- With Congress about to take up sweeping
climate-change legislation, expect to hear more in coming weeks from
John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at
University of Alabama-Huntsville.
A veteran climatologist who refuses to accept any research funding
from the oil or auto industries, Christy was a lead author of the
2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report as well as one
of the three authors of the American Geophysical Union's landmark
2003 statement on climate change.
Yet despite those green-sounding credentials, Christy is not calling
for draconian cuts in carbon emissions. Quite the contrary. Christy
is actually the environmental lobby's worst nightmare - an
accomplished climate scientist with no ties to Big Oil who has
produced reams and reams of data that undermine arguments that the
earth's atmosphere is warming at an unusual rate and question whether
the remedies being talked about in Congress will actually do any good.
