    Maurice Strong - In 1971, Strong commissioned a report on the state of the planet, Only One Earth: The Care and Maintenance of a Small Planet, co-authored by Barbara Ward and Rene Dubos. The report summarized the findings of 152 leading experts from 58 countries in preparation for the first UN meeting on the environment, held in Stockholm in 1972. This was the world's first "state of the environment" report. The Stockholm Conference established the environment as part of an international development agenda. It led to the establishment by the UN General Assembly in December 1972 of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), with headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, and the election of Strong to head it. UNEP was the first UN agency to be headquartered in the third world. As head of UNEP, Strong convened the first international expert group meeting on climate change. Strong was one of the commissioners of the World Commission on Environment and Development, set up as an independent body by the United Nations in 1983.

My opponent is using information from a volcano site as being average for global CO2 levels. Hmmmmmmm????????? Does anybody with half a brain see something wrong here???????? Gee Con, that must be why the graph suddenly shot up all of a sudden because they started using a volcano site as their average. lol Good work, Swede named Knut Angstrom. lol Nut alright!!!! lol 3. Sea levels rising? If there is one scientist who knows more about sea levels than anyone else in the world it is the Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel M"rner, formerly chairman of the INQUA International Commission on Sea Level Change. And the uncompromising verdict of Dr M"rner, who for 35 years has been using every known scientific method to study sea levels all over the globe, is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story. http://www.telegraph.co.uk... 5. Authority fallacy? Drrrrr???? Never heard of that one before. Gee, does that mean that I should disbelieve all the IPCC and NOAA garbage? lol
