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

number of cases in which science has been led in directions not based on hard evidence.
Examples include Malthus and the Malthusian Theory, Lysenkoism in the old Soviet
Union, and eugenics in the U.S. and elsewhere (see the excellent archive at Cold Spring
Harbor for examples of such ―science.‖) ―Kyoto is a failure and a new approach is badly
needed,‖ he explained. (LINK) (LINK)
Chemical Engineer Ian McQueen disputed any potential global warming threat in
2008 during a presentation to the Canadian Nuclear Society. "Carbon dioxide is not the
bogeyman - there are other causes that are much more likely to be causing climate change,
to the extent that it has changed," McQueen said according to a July 24, 2008, article. The
article reported, ―Carbon dioxide does have a small warming effect, McQueen said, but 32
per cent of the first few molecules do the majority of the warming. The carbon dioxide
content of the atmosphere, he said, is currently at 380 parts per million; if that were upped
to 560 parts per million, Earth's temperature would only rise about 0.3 degrees.‖ (LINK)
Dr. Art Raiche, former Chief Research Scientist with Australia's Commonwealth
Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) who was awarded the
Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG) Gold Medal in 2006,
established the consortium for research in electromagnetic modeling and inversion.
(Bio Link) ―The suppression of scientific evidence that contradicts the causal link between
human-generated CO2 and climate has been of great concern to ethical scientists both here
in Australia and around the world,‖ Raiche wrote on July 21, 2008, in the Australian. ―The
eco-hysteria that leads the Greens, as well as the left-leaning media, to attack any person
who attempts to publish science that contradicts their beliefs is a gross example of the
dangerous doctrine that the end justifies the means,‖ Raiche wrote. Raiche has criticized
CSIRO for its man-made global warming advocacy. ―As an example, consider the Garnaut
Report [on global warming], possibly the longest economic suicide note in Australia‘s
history. It is based on the dire predictions of CSIRO‘s modeling programs,‖ Raiche wrote
according to a July 27, 2008, article in the Herald Sun. But CSIRO ignores these
reservations and continues its role in hopes that they prove that organization‘s relevance by
scaring the populace,‖ Raiche explained. ―It is my strong belief that CSIRO has passed its
use-by date. The organization that bears the name of CSIRO has very little in common
with the organization that I joined in 1971, one that produced so much of value for
Australia during its first seven decades,‖ he added. (LINK) & (LINK) & (LINK)
Mathematician Dr. Muriel Newman, a member of the Northland Conservation Board,
declared “growing numbers of people [are] now questioning the whole basis” of manmade
climate fears in 2008. ―Around the world, as controversy over climate change
continues to grow, it remains very clear that contrary to what the politicians tell us, not
only is there is no consensus of scientific thought on this matter, but the science is certainly
not settled. In fact, in a bizarre twist of fate, at a time when advocates of man-made global
warming continue to push government policies to restrict energy use and the burning of
fossil fuels in order to prevent ‗catastrophic‘ warming, the world continues to cool,‖
Newman wrote on July 27, 2008. ―That is leading to increasing scepticism that the call to
sacrifice living standards in order to ―save the planet‖ is just political spin designed to
persuade the public to accept green taxes. […] With growing numbers of people now
questioning the whole basis of the man-made global warming theory, there is increasing
speculation that the defeat of the British Labour Party in the local body elections and more
