Georgia D. Brown

Geologist Georgia D. Brown, an instructor of Geology & Oceanography at College of
Lake County in Illinois, who co-authored a 1993 peer-reviewed study on the CO2
content in the magma from Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii in the prestigious journal
American Mineralogist


Cites a letter (?!) to a website

"Arguments" Condensed
  • I talk to my students about this topic every semester, not just when we are covering glacial geology, but at different points throughout the term. I want them to know that they shouldn't take every alarmist claim at face value. Fear is a means of controlling a population, and since the cold war has ended, the government needed new fuel for its control fire.

yea sorry, but that's all the "argument" we get. A real scrape of the barrel. Disappointing. In fact it's not even clear if she is skeptical of manmade global warming. Read the letter and see for yourself.

Irony

"Anyway, keep up the great work! On my end, from here on out, I intend to make it an assignment for my students to visit your website."

The website in question is iceagenow.com, you know the one titled:

Not by Fire but by Ice
THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

Discover What Killed the Dinosaurs . . . and Why it Could Soon Kill Us

Lets revisit part of Brown's argument:
"I want them to know that they shouldn't take every alarmist claim at face value"

Wow.
