SEPP Letter

Dr. S. Fred Singer,

My name is Griffin Benson, and I am a junior at Eckerd College in Florida. The reason you are receiving this letter is because of an assignment I have in my writing class. I did a research paper on global warming. The title of the paper was, “Global Warming: A Fabricated Truth”. I have spent countless hours researching the topic, and forming my own opinion. I feel as though the public is being lied to, and it needs to stop. I enjoyed navigating the SEPP’s site and reading “the other sides” opinion.

I do not feel as though people need to be persuaded to think as we do, but to at least hear the other side of the debate. It is disheartening to see the endless media specials on the damage the public is doing to our environment. The public is being told everyday that we are destroying the environment with the carbon emissions that are created. Research shows that man-made emissions account for only 1-2% of carbon emission. The other 98% are created by natural causes. The most shocking article I have read in the last several months was that of John Christy, My Nobel Moment. Christy is on the IPCC, and claims that many his colleagues disagree with the idea of global warming being a man-made issue. It makes me wonder if the Nobel Prize was a group effort, or an effort by less than half of the 1000 members on the IPCC. I understand that this information is probably old news to you, but it is this information that people need to hear. I also cited several of your studies in my research paper.

As an expert in global climate change I understand that you have done, and are doing all you can do. As a part of the assignment we need to have a response from the individual we are sending the letter to. I did not ask any specific questions in this letter, but I am simply asking for some personal insight. If you could give me some information, or opinions that can not be found on the SEPP site it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Griffin Benson
