Chief Meteorologist Mike Thompson of Kansas City‟s Fox TV Channel 4 is a former<br />

U.S. Navy meteorologist who holds the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Seal<br />

of Approval and is a certified Broadcast Meteorologist. Thompson dissented from the<br />

view of a man-made climate crisis in 2008. "[Hurricane forecasting pioneer] Dr. William<br />

Gray is a very outspoken critic of the global warming proponents. As such, he has been<br />

attacked by the GW proponents, and funding for his research has dried up...he put $100,000<br />

of his own cash into his research," Thompson wrote on April 14, 2008. "He puts his money<br />

where his mouth is, and he would not do that were he not concerned over the derailing of<br />

logic in climate science. This story has become all too common for those who dare speak<br />

up, and debunk <strong>Global</strong> Warming. Gray and other scientists with strong credentials in<br />

physics and climate science have been shouted down as climate heretics for disagreeing<br />

with the GW crowd," Thompson explained. "It is easier to silence scientific dissent by<br />

utilizing the politics of personal destruction, than to actually debate them on the merits of<br />

their arguments. That should tell you something about the global warming debate...there is<br />

none right now...it's either you believe, or you are to be discredited. It's a slow process, but<br />

it is scary, because if someone can control your energy sources, they can control you. We<br />

are already being told what light bulbs we can and cannot use...through legislation. We are<br />

being forced to fund research into alternative energies sources that are inefficient, and that<br />

cause the price of food, energy, and everything else to rise...through legislation....rather<br />

than allow free enterprise to allocate funds to those energy sources that will survive<br />

through good old American innovation!" Thompson added. "Even if you disagree with Dr.<br />

Gray, and others like him, you should fight against squelching the voices of those scientists<br />

who have spent a lifetime studying the climate, and have something very important to say.<br />

America is all about that sort of debate!" he concluded. (LINK) & (LINK)<br />

Chemist Dr. Patrick Frank, who has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed articles,<br />

disputed man-made climate fears in 2008. ―So the bottom line is this: When it comes to<br />

future climate, no one knows what they‘re talking about. No one. Not the IPCC nor its<br />

scientists, not the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, not the NRDC or National<br />

Geographic, not the U.S. Congressional House leadership, not me, not you, and certainly<br />

not Mr. Albert Gore,‖ Frank wrote in the May issue of Skeptic Magazine. ―But there is no<br />

falsifiable scientific basis whatever to assert this warming is caused by human-produced<br />

greenhouse gasses because current physical theory is too grossly inadequate to establish<br />

any cause at all. Nevertheless, those who advocate extreme policies to reduce carbon<br />

dioxide emissions inevitably base their case on GCM projections, which somehow become<br />

real predictions in publicity releases,‖ Frank explained. ―General Circulation Models are so<br />

terribly unreliable that there is no objectively falsifiable reason to suppose any of the<br />

current warming trend is due to human-produced CO2, or that this CO2 will detectably<br />

warm the climate at all. Therefore, even if extreme events do develop because of a<br />

warming climate, there is no scientifically valid reason to attribute the cause to humanproduced<br />

CO2. In the chaos of Earth‘s climate, there may be no discernible cause for<br />

warming,‖ Frank added. ―<strong>Man</strong>y excellent scientists have explained all this in powerful<br />

works written to defuse the CO2 panic, but the choir sings seductively and few righteous<br />

believers seem willing to entertain disproofs,‖ Frank concluded. (LINK)<br />

Retired meteorologist Harry A. Gordon, formerly of the National Weather Service,<br />

defended global warming skeptics and noted naturally occurring cycles dominate climate.<br />

"Meteorologist Mike Thompson (of Fox TV) is correct in his defense of global warning<br />
