letter from the presidentI hope everyone is having a great summer! Our July joint meeting at Cowboys Stadium with the Dallas Branch was the biggest in our history, and may be the biggest ASCE gathering in the state of Texas this year. Approximately 750 members and guests enjoyed an informative program on the stadium and guided tours afterwards.

The effort required to host an event of this magnitude required lots of volunteer labor and lots of “sweating the details”. Special thanks to Jennifer Butcher, Leah Hermes, Scott Hudson, Scott Berman, Autumn Putsch, and others who put in lots of hours behind the scenes to help make the event memorable.

As usual, we won’t have a meeting in August, but will convene again on September 21st. Ottis Foster, our Texas Executive Director, will be on-hand to install new officers.

It has been a privilege and pleasure to serve as President of the Fort Worth branch for the last year. We’ve had great programs, continued attendance growth (attendance exceeding 100 at most Branch meetings!), and an exceptionally enthusiastic group of officers and committee chairs who deserve credit for making

the president’s job easy. I’m excited to be able to pass the gavel to Scott Berman. Scott has dedicated countless hours to the branch and will unquestionably be a factor in our continued success.

I look forward to seeing you in September!

POOL PARTY

Monthly Networking and Social EventsEach month, typically around the third Thursday, the Fort Worth Branch Younger Member Group hosts a networking and social event open to all members of the Fort Worth Branch.

The event moves around town to facilitate convenience of different people attending from different firms. Typically 15-20 people attend and the group talks about what their respective firms or government agencies are doing for projects, upcoming projects, and what they do for their employer. The events have contributed to the teaming of firms in the

past that would not have necessarily teamed together before.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Editorial Note: In his article below, guest columnist Stan R. Caldwell, P.E. takes a fresh look at the “history” of climate change. Stan has served Halff Associates, Inc. as Vice Presi-dent and Manager of the Structures Group since 1988. A local member of the Dallas Branch ASCE, Stan has served in numerous ASCE positions during his career. Most recently he was a Director on the ASCE National Board of Direction from 2005-2008 and a Member of the National Executive Committee for 2007-2008. Historical Chair John P. Wier, P.E.

Climate ChangeBy Stan R. Caldwell, P.E., SECB,May 2009

Climate change? The climate has been changing since the earth began spinning. Global warming? While it is true that we are about 1.4°F warmer than our great grandfathers, we remain about 2.7°F cooler than the Crusaders, 4.3°F cooler than the Romans, and 18.0°F cooler than the dinosaurs. Most of the warming over the past 100 years took place be-fore the 1940s and the industrialization that followed World War II. In fact, we might now be witnessing stabilization, or perhaps even reversal. The plain facts are that 2008 was cooler than 2007, which in turn was cooler than 2006. Over the past two years, more than thirty years of temperature increases have nearly been erased.

Sea levels? They have been rising for the past 17,000 years, since the end of the last great Ice Age. However, the rate has been steadily decreasing. In the next 100 years, sea levels are projected to rise less than 6”. Polar ice caps? One, the Arctic, has been shrinking, and that might open up impor-tant new shipping routes. The other, the Antarctic, has been growing, and its ice sheet currently is the largest on record. Polar bears? In 1950, their population was estimated at 5,000. Today, there are at least 22,000 polar bears and they are thriving. Hurricane intensity and frequency? NOAA an-nounced last year that global warming should reduce storm intensity and have no impact on storm frequency.

Greenhouse gases (GGs)? GGs account for less than 2.0% of the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) accounts for about 3.6% of all GGs. Humans contribute about 3.4% of total CO2 emissions. Overall, humanity is responsible for less than 0.25% of the total claimed “greenhouse effect”. Cutting human CO2 emissions by 80%, a stated goal of President Obama and the limit of what might be possible, will have little or no measurable impact on global warming. Never-

theless, legislation has been recently introduced (Waxman-Markey Cap & Trade) with just that intent. If this becomes law, it will have a disastrous impact on the United States economy: the net loss of about 2.5 million jobs, an inflation-adjusted increase in energy costs of up to 74% (gasoline) and 90% (electricity), an inflation-adjusted increase in the federal debt of about 26%, and a drop in the Gross Domes-tic Product (GDP) of more than $9.6 trillion.

Climate scientists have not yet been able to firmly establish a link between GGs and climate change. John Christy, a leading climate scientist and a member of the United Na-tions IPCC that shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal in November 2007. He stated “I see neither the developing catastrophe nor the smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for most of the warming we see… There are some of us who remain so humbled by the task of measuring and understanding the extraordinarily complex climate system that we are skeptical of our ability to know what it is doing and why… Mother Nature simply operates at a level of complexity that is, at this point, beyond the mastery of mere mortals (such as scientists) and the tools available to us.”

History is also instructive. As recently as the 1970s, some were declaring that GGs would inevitably lead to cata-strophic global cooling by 2000. For example, in a January 1970 Issue, Newsweek Magazine proclaimed “The planet will cool, water vapor will fall and freeze, and a new Ice Age will be born.” In April 1970, Kenneth Watt wrote “The world will be 11 degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” Six years later, Lowell Ponte wrote “This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about be-fore the year 2000.” Now, less than four decades later, their successor alarmists are declaring just the opposite. Climate change remains a subject of ongoing study and unresolved debate among climate scientists worldwide. This is well beyond the knowledge, experience, and responsibility of the civil engineering community. Timothy Wirth, the Presi-dent of the United Nations Foundation, has stated “We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing.” Licensed professional engineers cannot ethically adopt this the-ends-justify-the-means approach. We must have the discipline to avoid speculation and media hype. For us, doing the right thing means focusing on adaptation rather than on mitigation. It also means taking a leading role in creating a more sustainable natural and built environment based on innovation, best practices, and established sci-ence.

nominations for officers are due at the section by the With all the outstanding civil engineers and projects in the metroplex, the fort Worth branch ought to be able to sweep the awards! stephen crawford, mark perkins, or i would be thrilled to take your recommendations.

the fort Worth branch submitted a request to host the fall 2012 texas section meeting. that request was submitted at the spring 2009 meeting, and is being reviewed by the executive committee. hosting the texas section meeting is lots of work, and lots of fun. please watch for opportunities to help with that effort. it will take several dozen hard-working, dedicated volunteers to make this a successful meeting.

also keep in mind travis attanasio successfully campaigned to have the multi-regional leadership conference held in fort Worth spring 2011. Watch for opportunities to attend and/or aide with that.

and remember to look forward to big goings-on to lead us into 2013, texas section’s centennial. the spring 2013 meeting will be in corpus christi, and the fall meeting in dallas, but the vision of the centennial committee is a year-long celebration involving every branch, with every branch having a “centennial champion”. please advise if you like to throw good parties!

i mentioned in the last newsletter that the texas section office was looking to relocate in austin. as of now, they have been able to expand/reconfigure the offices they

are in and have decided to stay put for the time being. the texas section website (www.texasce.org) always hosts a plethora of information. among topics currently on the site:

texas section guidelines for design of residential foundations has been updated. the residential foundation oversight committee approved changes to the texas section’s “guidelines for the evaluation and repair of residential foundations”. the texas section board of direction approved changes by an e –mail vote.

the 51st annual international highway engineering program (iheep) will be held in san antonio september 27-october 1, 2009. Visit their website at www.dot.state.tx.us/iheep2009/ for registration.

for those of you with young children, a texas section member and her husband have written a children’s book putting the spotlight on civil engineering. the authors began the book series in an unprecedented effort to educate and recruit young children ages 5-9 to become future engineers. the book is titled, “rocks, Jeans and busy machines”, can be purchased at several locations in san antonio, or ordered from the www.engineering-kids.com website.

the fall 2009 texas section meeting will be in the Woodlands october 28-31, 2009, hosted by the houston

branch. see you in the Woodlands! of concern. if you have

having a “centennial champion”. please advise if you like to throw good parties!
