Pedimos com urgência que o Governo dos Estados Unidos rejeite o acordo firmado em dezembro de 1997 em Quioto, no Japão, assim como quaisquer outras propostas semelhantes. Os limites estabelecidos com referência a gases de efeito estufa produzirão efeitos nocivos ao meio ambiente, impediriam o avanço científico e tecnológico e serão lesivos para a saúde e bem-estar humanos. Não existe nenhuma comprovação científica convincente de que a produção humana e liberação de dióxido de carbono, metano ou qualquer outros gás de estufa na atmosfera esteja causando ou irá causar, dentro de um futuro previsível, o aquecimento catastrófico da atmosfera terrestre e mudanças climáticas na Terra. Por outro lado, existe substancial comprovação científica de que o aumento de dióxido de carbono na atmosfera produz muitos efeitos benéficos nos ambientes terrestres naturais de plantas e animais.

Esta petição já foi assinada por mais de 31.000 cientistas americanos.

Letter from Frederick Seitz

Research Review of Global Warming Evidence

Enclosed is a twelve-page review of information on the subject of "global warming," a petition in the form of a reply card, and a return envelope. Please consider these materials carefully.

The United States is very close to adopting an international agreement that would ration the use of energy and of technologies that depend upon coal, oil, and natural gas and some other organic compounds.

This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas. Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful.

Environmental Effects of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th Century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth rates. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in minor greenhouse gases like CO2 are in error and do not conform to current experimental knowledge.
