Richard Alley Speaker at Seattle Science Festival - Opinion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aS6S-lCRSI

I think some important points that Richard Alley makes is that when we look at climate change data it cannot be from just a short period, say under 10 years, because these trends may show cooling but overall the global temperature is rising. He also points out Carbon Dioxide rising is a cause and is created by human burning fossil fuels into the atmosphere. Finally, a huge point I think he makes is that we need to learn how to use our resources wisely before we burn them all away. One question that i would want to ask to him would be, Since we are burning our resources faster than they are coming, what kind of developments are we making to change how we use and not burn those resources? Richard Alley is a Professor at the Pennsylvania State University, he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has studied ice cores up to two miles deep, and is a highly respected scientists. He also is a recipient of the Noble Prize, along side Al Gore for their efforts into studying and presenting issue of climate change.
