richard mueller who is a professor of physics at berkeley and a director of the berkeley earth surface tevment project and a former macarthur foundation fellow, revealed in a "new york times" op-ed how he has become a converted climate skeptic. he cites findings from his research, which ironically was partially funded by the koch brothers, that the earth's land temperature has increased by two and a half degrees fahrenheit in the last 250 years and one and a half degrees over the past 50 years. he states moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases. unfortunately, human emission of greenhouse gases is on the rise. in 2011, the famed mauna loa observatory documented the biggest jump yet in carbon dioxide. a monitoring station in the arctic this year measured carbon dioxide at 400 parts per million for the first time. 50 payroll taxes per million higher than the maximum concentration at which scientists predict a stable earth's climate. and, of course, 400 parts per million is way outside the 170 to 300 parts per mi

richard mueller, a professor of physics at the university of california in berkeley, and he has written many times about how he did not believe that the science was adequate or had produced it. let me read his words. this is dr. mueller. "call me a converted skeptic, three years ago, i identified problems in the previous climate studies that in my mind threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. last year, following an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, i concluded that global warming was real and that the prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct. i am now going a step further. humans are almost entirely the cause." that's what this former climate skeptic has said. bottom line, we need to be armed with the facts, not with empty rhetoric, and that's exactly what dr. mueller set out to do. let me quote him. we carefully studied the issues raised by skeptics, from urban heating, we duplicated our results, using rural data alone. prior groups collected fewer than 20% of the temperature stations. we used virtually 100% from poor station quality. we se
