The OP article doesn't deny that APG is real. They say it is real, but not as much as current models predict. They think the change is probably not enough to be harmful to civilization, and may even be beneficial in some way.
Can someone fill me in on how being retired from the Apollo program qualifies you as a climatologist? And does it work in reverse - do we need to bring in climatologists to build spacecraft?
Gee........................ they are physicists and engineers.
All it takes is a little knowledge of math and thermodynamics to understand that "global warming" is insanity. Fortunately, these men possess these skills and can demonstrate that IF we burned ALL of the fossil fuels in existence, we would barely budge the world temperature.
Global warming loons have little, if any, background in mathematics or physics to understand such things. Some idiot here was ranting about some 1.7 10e27 J or some amount of energy that was going to boil the ocean. A minimal knowledge of the volume of water in the oceans (not even measuring all of the fresh water as well), and the specific heat of water revealed that IF the assumption was correct, that the temp of the oceans would increase .1 degrees or so over 50 years!
As long as there are idiots devoid of any physics or mathematics, and what constitutes valid scientific studies, there will always be global warming alarmists.
That turns out not to be the case. Once Apollo 11 had landed and the US had shown up the Russkies, support for the space program dropped like a spent S-1C. This is why there's a scrapped Saturn V stack to display in Houston - it was actual flight hardware, but the public didn't want an Apollo 18.
Because the interest eventually waned doesn't make my statement anywhere close to not true.

Those elderly astronauts are NOT deniers.
The denial comes in when noted that things like cap and trade and carbon credits will do nothing for anything other than a few people's bank accounts.

It's hard to say what climatologists in general have to say about that. They're almost all agreed that there IS AGW, but I don't think there are any studies about whether they are agreed that it is so urgent that some international intervention is in order right now.

No, there is no agreement on any urgency and there is really very little we can do in an urgent manner even if we wanted to.
Clinate change deniers are scientifically illiterate. What I like best about these clowns is when they find one of the 3% of scorned climate change researchers taking money/bribes from Exxon and trumpet their "science" as "proof" that there is no evidence mankind is causing climate change.
As I've said before, such ignorance would be humorous if climate change were not so dire.
And those that claim man is causing climate change/AGW/GW whatever term is in vogue, is intellectually dishonest.
And humans contribute to that change....Glad you agree.
In theory. That has yet to be proven as fact.
Nice try.
But, feel free to give all your money to fight the good fight. I will keep my money, if you don't mind.
