is nothing like a consensus of scientific opinion that this is a problem," Tripp said.<br />

"Because there is natural variability in the weather, you cannot statistically know for<br />

another 150 years. ... There are indications, there are options, but if you are looking for<br />

hard scientific facts, you are still a long ways away." (LINK) (LINK) [Note: Tripp was<br />

lead author of subsection 4.5 in Volume 3 (Industrial Processes and Product Use)]<br />

NASA Scientist Dr. Leonard Weinstein worked 35 years at the NASA Langley<br />

Research Center and finished his career there as a Senior Research Scientist.<br />

Weinstein, who is presently a Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of<br />

Aerospace, totally rejected global warming claims. ―Any reasonable scientific analysis<br />

must conclude the basic theory wrong!!‖ Weinstein wrote on April 23, 2009. ―The final<br />

question that arises is what prediction has the AGW made that has been demonstrated,<br />

and that strongly supports the theory. It appears that there is NO real supporting evidence<br />

and much disagreeing evidence for the AGW theory as proposed. That is not to say there<br />

is no effect from Human activity. Clearly human pollution (not greenhouse gases) is a<br />

problem. There is also almost surely some contribution to the present temperature from<br />

the increase in CO 2 and CH 4 , but it seems to be small and not a driver of future climate,‖<br />

Weinstein wrote. (LINK) (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Nobel Prize-Winning Stanford University Physicist Dr. Robert B. Laughlin, won<br />

the Nobel Prize for physics in 1998, and was formerly a research scientist at<br />

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, rejected global warming orthodoxy in<br />

2010. ―Please remain calm: The Earth will heal itself -- Climate is beyond our power to<br />

control...Earth doesn't care about governments or their legislation,‖ Laughlin wrote in<br />

July 2010 in The American Scholar. Earth has suffered ―all manner of other abuses<br />

greater than anything people could inflict. Yet, the Earth is still here. It's a<br />

survivor...Earth doesn't care whether you turn off your AC, refrigerator and TV. It<br />

doesn't notice when you turn down your thermostat and drive a hybrid car,‖ Laughlin<br />

wrote. ―You can't find much actual global warming in present-day weather<br />

observations,‖ he added. ―Climate change is a matter of geologic time, something that<br />

the earth routinely does on its own without asking anyone's permission or explaining<br />

itself,‖ Laughlin explained. He continued: ―<strong>Global</strong> warming forecasts have the further<br />

difficulty that you can‘t find much actual global warming in present-day weather<br />

observations. In principle, changes in climate should show up in rainfall statistics,<br />

hurricane frequency, temperature records, and so forth. As a practical matter they don‘t,<br />

because weather patterns are dominated by large multi-year events in the oceans, such<br />

as the El Niño Southern Oscillation and the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation, which have<br />

nothing to do with climate change. In order to test the predictions, you‘d have to<br />

separate these big effects from subtle, inexorable changes on scales of centuries, and<br />

nobody knows how to do that yet.‖ (LINK) (LINK) (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Russian Scientist Dr. Anatoly Levitin, the head of geomagnetic variations laboratory<br />

at the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation<br />

of the Russian Academy of Sciences who has published numerous peer-reviewed<br />

studies about the interaction of solar radiation with the Earth‟s magnetic field,<br />

rejected man-made global warming claims in 2010. When asked in a July 15, 2010<br />

interview if climate change is not man-made, Levitin responded: “Exactly; climate<br />

change is a physical process. Climate is in fact like the Earth‘s energy budget. The Earth<br />
