Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global ...

we need skepticism even if it brings condemnation by the top echelons of the Royal
Society,‖ Robinson explained. ―The scientific establishment regards anyone who questions
the consensus about climate change and its effects in much the same way as heretics are
regarded by religious movements. Indeed, in many ways, upholders of the consensus view
are a religious movement,‖ Robinson continued. ―In an echo of earlier times, the climate
change prophets have in recent years tried to silence counter views and suppress dissent.
August members of the Royal Society, a body once noted for its cultivation of debate in
science, are now leaders of the ‗science is settled‘ camp: the only debate they consider to
be legitimate is about choice among the different forms of the centralized action they
believe is required to deal with the problems they foresee,‖ he added. ―Human myopia
cannot be overcome simply by well-meaning attempts to build models that purport to peer
decades and centuries ahead. Action taken now, in anticipation of supposed long run
trends, may concentrate on the wrong issues and make matters worse rather than better,‖ he
concluded. (LINK) & (LINK)
Meteorologist Patrick Carroll, a retired Environment Canada meteorologist, publicly
rejected global warming fears in 2008. ―The IPCC theory of anthropogenic warming is a
hoax that is rapidly falling into disfavour among atmospheric scientists,‖ Carroll wrote on
June 9, 2008 in Canada‘s The Hill Times. ―Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion (of Canada) is a
gullible fool in continuing to believe that CO2 emissions drive climate change. He is
whistling past a political graveyard if he thinks that Canadians will accept billions more in
taxes to reduce and sequester CO2 emissions when there is zero proof that such activities
will have any measurable, let alone detectable, effect on global temperatures. In short, Dion
has been a victim of the alarmist propaganda emanating from the IPCC and radical
environmentalists such as David Suzuki,‖ Carroll explained. ―If Dion had advisers who
were keeping up with the latest research and climate data, he would have been informed by
now that the IPCC theory of anthropogenic warming is a hoax that is rapidly falling into
disfavour among atmospheric scientists. Instead, he continues to blunder along listening to
clueless alarmists like Mr. Suzuki,‖ he added. (LINK)
Dr. Robert Smith, professor of chemistry at University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO),
recently spoke out against anthropogenic global warming fears, concluding from his
studies that it does not present a threat to the future of mankind. Dr. Smith has been
teaching at UNO since 1990 and is the author or co-author of 38 articles in scholarly
journals. According to a UNO Gateway article from November 18, 2008, ―Smith takes the
position that carbon dioxide will not drastically impact the world, arguing that water is the
leading green house gas and global warming is actually beneficial. ‗All models appeal to
water changing the temperature as the principle agent for increase in temperatures,‘ Smith
said. ‗I simply want to teach students how to think; and to think properly, they need all the
information.‘ The amount of carbon dioxide in comparison to the amount of water that is
affecting global warming is minimal, Smith says. Ice ages are eminent and the next one
will happen in the next 2,000 years.‖ [LINK; Bio: LINK]
Jon Loufman, a meteorologist for Cleveland‟s Channel 19 Action News, spoke out
against anthropogenic climate change fears in 2008. ―A past president of the Northeast
Ohio chapter of the American Meteorological Society, Jon Loufman holds a masters degree
in his field and was inducted into the Ohio Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2002.‖ In a
December 2, 2008, article spotlighting Cleveland-area TV meteorologists, Loufman, who
