FURTHER ON CLIMATE CHANGE COURTESY OF DR. HENRY REGIER

A few days back Dr. Regier (Henry) sent me an e-mail with some amazing historical information in regards to climate change. Apparently in 1896 "...the swede Svante Arrhenius forecast climate warning due to massive burning of fossil fuel in a well known publication...". That same forecast "...was included in a conservation textbook written by the geologist Charles Van Hise in "The Conservation of Natural Resources in the United Staes (1910)."". To me this information is stunning and underscores that it is not a lack of good science but a lack of good political leadership that is slowly destroying the earth.

Henry also included a three page partial list of publications by himself and colleagues all related to climate change. Yes I said a partial list and it's three pages long. This list of scientific publications starts in 1973 and runs until 1996. For me I see a parallel here with our problems with Chemtura. We have literally hundreds of reports, critiques and data including Figures & Tables all of which paint a terrifying picture of Elmira. The problem is quite simple. The people reading these publications are directly or indirectly on Chemtura's payroll. Nary a so called honest politician in sight are going to read these reports and act appropriately on them.
