said. ―In reality, rarely is there ever a last and final word in studies of complex systems<br />

such as earth‘s environment. Rather, science is a dynamic process based on the scientific<br />

method in which researchers test hypotheses leading to new discoveries, but also reexamine<br />

earlier theories and try to improve, build upon, or extend them,‖ he concluded. (LINK)<br />

Indian Geologist Dr. Ritesh Arya, who specializes in hydrogeology and groundwater<br />

resources in the Himalayas, has authored several research papers and was invited by<br />

the Royal Geographical Society in 2005 to discuss climate change. Ayra, who has been<br />

the recipient of the Great Indian Achievers Award 2004 and the Bharat Excellence<br />

Award 2003, rejected man-made climate fears in 2008. ―There is urgent need to put the<br />

phenomenon, which had not been triggered off suddenly, in the right perspective as today<br />

almost every human activity right from vehicular emissions to use of polythene is being<br />

linked to global warming which was a much larger event which started as soon as the Ice<br />

Age ended. The fact was that the ‗biotic‘ agents (man and other living organisms) had a<br />

very small role compared to the ‗abiotic‘ (geological, geomorphologic, climatologic,<br />

planetary and hydrological) events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis,<br />

movement of glaciers and landslides,‖ Arya told The Tribune on February 18, 2008.<br />

According to the article, Arya termed ―the hype and panic over ‗global warming‘ as<br />

‗unnecessary.‖ ―'There is a hype of global warming created by western mass media and<br />

there is a need to redefine the whole concept,‖ Arya also said on June 14, 2008. He also has<br />

been recognized by the Guinness World Records for his ―achievement in finding<br />

groundwater in the Chushul area at an altitude of more than 14,000 ft.‖ (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Meteorologist John Takeuchi did an interview with the Vacaville, CA Reporter and<br />

rejected claims that current climate is unusual in 2008. ―The atmosphere has periodic<br />

warming and cooling cycles. The sun is the primary source of energy impacting the earth's<br />

surface. That energy heats the land and the seas, which then warm the air above them.<br />

Water vapor and other gases in the atmosphere also affect temperature,‖ Takeuchi wrote on<br />

July 10, 2008. ―<strong>Global</strong> warming proponents claim that human activity is increasing CO2 in<br />

the atmosphere - that's true - and that the increased CO2 is causing air temperature to rise.<br />

Studies, however, point elsewhere. When long-term plots of global temperature and CO2<br />

content are overlaid, CO2 lags temperature. There must be another culprit,‖ Takeuchi<br />

explained. ―Oceans are the main repository for CO2. They release CO2 as their temperature<br />

rises - just like your beer. This strongly suggests that warming oceans - heated by the sun -<br />

are a major contributor to CO2 in the atmosphere,‖ he added. ―Politicians have come to see<br />

global warming as a way to raise revenue by rationing CO2 production with schemes such<br />

as the ‗cap and trade‘ legislation now in Congress. The taxes assessed for producing CO2<br />

could be huge. But global warming as proclaimed by Al Gore and Co., is a hoax,‖ he<br />

added. (LINK)<br />

Dr. Kevin Warwick is an award-winning Professor of Cybernetics at the University of<br />

Reading, England, where he carries out research in artificial intelligence, control,<br />

robotics and biomedical engineering. Warwick, whose research interests include<br />

robotics and Cybernetics in particular apart from areas like artificial intelligence,<br />

control, and biomedical engineering, has won many awards including The Future of<br />

Health technology Award from MIT. Warwick also rejected global warming theory in<br />

2008. ―I am afraid that I do not hold with the theory of ‗global warming‘ – there will<br />
