15-yearold Student Site Debunks Gore's 'Science'

If all students are like Kristen Byrnes of Portland, Maine, the nation has nothing to worry about. Ms. Byrnes is a 15-year-old student at Portland High School and, when she is not running track and field, takes all honors classes, including Earth Science.


Former Vice President Al Gore’s film “A Convenient Truth” is being shown in many high school classes today. Apparently, Ms. Byrnes became upset at the sloppy science in the movie. So as a project for her Earth Science class, she created her own Web site and, well, very politely and scientifically, ripped the global-warming-caused-by-man theory to shreds.


Her Web site looks at global warming “without financial and political bias.” That should cause concern to global warming advocates right there. Plus, “It uses the most updated information provided by scientists and researchers and interjects common sense, an important component missing from the global warming debate.”


Using common sense against hysteria. Wonder if that will work? As Ms. Byrnes states, “I will demonstrate that the Earth’s warming climate is a result of natural variance and that man-made changes in the warming climate in the last 40 years are negligible at best. I will insert pieces of the puzzle from new scientific studies that were not available or were ignored in previous global warming studies.


“I add a possible piece of the puzzle,  nuclear weapons testing in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, that may have made a small contribution to cooling at that time.


“After reviewing numerous scientific studies and observing data, it is clear that the theory that “man-made increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide are causing global warming” is not likely.”


Those reading her Web site better be prepared for extensive, but readable, science about all aspects of global warming including the details of Beryllium-10 and how it figures into serious discussions of the issue. (Taking a wild guess, probably Laurie David and other prominent Hollywood advocates of global warming have no idea what Be-10 is. Although, no doubt, they will soon be accusing Ms. Brynes of being paid off by the big oil companies. Such is the rhetoric of the day.)
