U. S. Senate Minority Report: - Klimaforschung

alarmists’. The solar effect is huge and overwhelming and there must be time delays in
absorbance and build up in energy received by earth and ocean masses. But the warmer the
Earth gets, the faster it radiates heat out into space. This is a self-correcting, self-healing
process,” Duffy wrote. “So what are the key players in ‘Climate Change’? The major
driver is the sun. Warming depends on the sun. Cooling is due to the lack of sun’s energy.
Radiant energy enters the earth’s atmosphere. Air (on a dry basis) consists mainly of
nitrogen 78.08% and oxygen 20.94%. Of the 0.98% remaining, 95% of that (i.e. 0.934%),
or almost all is the inert gas argon. Carbon dioxide CO2 is a trace. It is less than 400ppm
(parts per million) or 0.04% of all the atmosphere (on a dry basis). Surprisingly, less than a
fifth of that is man-made CO2 (0.008% of the total), and that is only since the beginning of
the industrial era and the rapid increase in world population,” Duffy concluded. (LINK)

Dr. G LeBlanc Smith, a retired Principal Research Scientist with Australia's
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) who
specializes in geosciences and sedimentology, rejected global warming fears in 2008. “I
have yet to see credible proof of carbon dioxide driving climate change, yet alone manmade
CO2 driving it. The atmospheric hot-spot is missing and the ice core data refute this.
When will we collectively awake from this deceptive delusion?” Smith asked in an August
16, 2008, essay. “I contend that those professional scientists and advisors that are
knowingly complicit in climate science fraud and all that is derived from it, will continue to
be exposed by the science itself,” Smith explained. “There is no atmospheric hot-spot from
‘greenhouse CO2’ despite over 20 years of serious looking for it. Occam's razor would
point to the sun as the driver of climate change of significance. Human generated carbon
dioxide is arguably around 3% of the total carbon dioxide budget, and in the light of the
above, we are effectively irrelevant to the natural climate change continuum,” he added.

Research scientist William Hunt has worked for the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration and served as a wildlife biologist and a geologist. Hunt
produced a 2007 audio series titled “Global Warming Exposed!” and is set to release a
book titled Global Warming Challenged-Science or Myth? Hunt dissented in 2007. In
2007 Hunt dissented from the view that mankind is driving a climate crisis. “Scientists and
activists alike have jumped on the [global warming] bandwagon. It’s become a fad, a trend,
a wave of enthusiasm and the scientists are going along with the fad to get research grants
and the media limelight,” Hunt wrote on January 22, 2007 in an article titled “The
Nonsense of Global Warming.” “The facts, such as we can observe and calculate them, do
not support the idea of man-made global warming. Natural processes completely eclipse
anything that man can accomplish- a minor rainstorm expends more energy than a large
nuclear explosive releases and the lowest category of hurricane expends more energy than
all of the nuclear weapons ever produced in a short time,” Hunt wrote. “Most geologists
and indeed, most scientists in the U.S., do not accept the idea that global warming resulting
from human activities is a viable theory -because most have an appreciation for the kind of
power inherent in natural systems. Conversely, most biologists do accept the idea of mancaused
global warming and quote scientists in other fields, without understanding those
other fields sufficiently to make a logical judgment as to whether the studies were
reasonable in their methods and claims. They simply take it on faith that the scientists
propounding global warming are correct in their methods and assumptions,” Hunt
