In a flurry of letters to their trade group president, members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), hurled invective and disdain at the association hierarchy for the self serving statements of political correctness made by their association's president, Wayne Klotz PE, concerning Global Warming aka "Climate Change".
Says member K Anderson "...I can’t believe you [ASCE President] as an intelligent person is being sucked into the fairytale of global warming..."
This should not be a foregone conclusion in the mind of any decent scientist. ~ J Greer
It is indeed a sad day when the figurehead of the foremost organization of my profession buys into the “sky is falling..or.. should I say the “seas are rising” hysteria. What does it say for “practical thinking and reasoning” we engineers are noted for when the leader of the ASCE spouts out this nonsense that has yet to be proven. This is an embarrassment to our profession. ~ P Purcell
For engineers to go along with this hoax is the biggest negligence I have ever seen. It is ALL about the money. Indeed there is Green (aka $$$$) in going green - THAT is why it is being pushed and supported as the latest emperor with no clothes. ~ A Koenig
Here is the link to the entire blog thread where you can read how rank and file engineers consider the global warming issue, essentially and overwhelmingly calling it a hoax and a sham made to order to make money and provide a basis for revenue extraction by an overweening government working in conjunction with industry.
