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

etirement I was well convinced, as were most technically trained people, that the IPCC's
case for Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is very tight. However, upon taking the
time to get into the details of the science, I was appalled at how flimsy the case really is,‖
Cohen wrote on August 6, 2008. ―I was also appalled at the behavior of many of those who
helped produce the IPCC reports and by many of those who promote it. In particular I am
referring to the arrogance; the activities aimed at shutting down debate; the outright
fabrications; the mindless defense of bogus science, and the politicization of the IPCC
process and the science process itself. At this point there is little doubt that the IPCC
position is seriously flawed in its central position that humanity is responsible for most of
the observed warming of the last third of the 20th century, and in its projections for effects
in the 21st century,‖ Cohen explained. (LINK) Cohen is so confident of a lack of global
warming that he ―issued a public challenge Jan. 20 on The Durango Herald op-ed page,
betting $5,000 that the globe's average temperature will be cooler in 2017 than it was in
2007.‖ (LINK)
Meteorologist Tom McElmurry, certified as a meteorologist in 1954 by the United
States Air Force, is a member of the American Meteorological Society a member of
the Israel Geological Society and a former tornado forecaster in the Kansas City
Severe Weather Service; he has also written scientific articles published by the USAF
and the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. McElmurry rejected climate
fears in 2008. ―Governmental officials are currently casting trillions down huge rat hole to
solve a problem which doesn‘t exist but say no to drill off shore for a real one. Its
misapplied atmospheric science for profit,‖ McElmurry wrote on August 7, 2008. ―Packs of
rats wait in that [rat] hole to reap trillions coming down it to fill advocates pockets. As a
Meteorologist I find it scientifically Dishonest!‖ McElmurry explained. ―I do believe that
excess carbon dioxide emissions are not favorable to the earth‘s atmosphere, and that
efforts should be made to reduce them, but the claims of the effects some are saying will
come on the earth if we do not drastically reduce them, are fantastically blown out of
believable proportion,‖ McElmurry added. ―The money we are about to spend on
drastically reducing carbon dioxide will line the pockets of the environmentalists who have
such expertise readily available at the right price. And some politicians are standing in line
to fill their pockets with kick back money for large grants to the environmental experts, for
the purpose of developing new ways to drastically reduce the emissions. In case you
haven‘t noticed, it is an expanding profit-making industry, growing in proportion to the
horror warnings by government officials and former vice-presidents,‖ McElmurry
explained. (LINK) (LINK)
Professor Larry Bell of the University of Houston has a forthcoming book, Climate
Hysteria, which is dedicated to Al Gore because the former Vice President‟s
“invention of facts made it necessary.” ―Many questions remain to be answered
regarding the real significance of anthropogenic carbon dioxide as a climate forcing factor
and related rising sea level consequences projected by the [UN] IPCC,‖ Bell, who is
internationally for his contributions to the design of space habitats and systems, including
the International Space Station, wrote on June 18, 2008. ―First, there is no incontrovertible
evidence to support contentions that pre-industrial carbon dioxide levels were consistently
lower than the 380 ppm recorded now. More than 90,000 published measurements carried
out between 1812 and 1961 indicate that atmospheric levels were actually rising before the
Industrial Revolution. They reached about 440 ppm in 1820, dropped to about 390 ppm by
