\"Dr.
Dr. Harrison "Jack" Schmitt as a trained geologist was the first scientist-astronaut and walked on the moon with the Apollo 17 lunar mission.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last month Apollo 17 astronaut and moonwalker Harrison Schmitt added his voice to the growing chorus of scientists speaking out against the anthropogenic [manmade] global warming (AGW) theory.\u00a0 In strongly worded comments he said the theory was a \u2018political tool.\u2019<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 Now, in a speech at the International Conference on Climate Change<\/span><\/a> he outlined his argument in great detail saying, \u201cthe science of climate change and its causes is not settled.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schmitt recalled as a child in Silver City, New Mexico helping his father, also a geologist, take rain measurements.\u00a0 Those early experiments spurred the former astronaut\u2019s interest in earth sciences at an early age.\u00a0 He recalled how later in life, while on the surface of the moon, he made weather forecasts for the southern hemisphere of the earth.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nIn wide ranging commentary, Dr. Schmitt made a point by point argument against many of the things that global warming advocates point to in support of the theory.\u00a0 In a similar vein to his comments last month, he continued to admonish scientists and politicians that have politicized the issue and said those that disagree do have a battle ahead of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
