This
inevitably leads to questions about our own planet - for example, are
humans causing global warming that will render our world uninhabitable?
‘In
the news today I hear about the large solar flares, which is an
indication of the power of the sun to influence Earth and our climate,’
Dr Aldrin said.
‘My
first inclination is to be a bit sceptical about the claims that
human-produced carbon dioxide is the direct contributor to global
warming.
‘And
if there is that doubt, then I think an unbiased non-politically
motivated group of people worldwide, representing us instead of creating
taxes like the carbon tax, should examine the output of different
nations that might contribute to the very large cycles of warming and
cooling that have taken place long before we started to have humans
producing emissions.
‘In
a short period of time it appears to some people [that humans are] the
cause of global warming - which is now called climate change - [but]
climate change has certainly existed over time.’
