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

always be climate change and from the point of view of someone in a wet-cum-cold
England, things appear to be getting colder, not hotter,‖ Warwick said according to a
September 24, 2008, article. ―Big thing here is – do we know what we are doing that is
bringing about climate change? At present the answer to this is NO,‖ Warwick explained.

Veteran Meteorologist Al Kaprielian of WZMY TV-50 in New Hampshire, who has
been forecasting for 25 years, rejected the notion that the science is ―settled‖ in 2008.
When asked his views about global warming during a September 12, 2008, interview,
Kaprielian replied, ―We don‘t have enough data right now. We‘ll have to wait and see what
future weather brings.‖ (LINK)
Retired U.S. Navy Physicist and Chemist Dr. Theodore G. Pavlopoulos, who served in
the Navy as a physicist for 37 years and is a member of the New York Academy of
Sciences, rejected man-made global warming fears in 2008. ―CO2 is a rather harmless
green house gas,‖ Pavlopoulos told EPW on September 25, 2008. ―CO2 in air has been
branded as the culprit for causing the green house effect, causing global warming.
However, regularly omitted is another important green house gas also present in air and in
much higher concentration. It is water vapor. In the air, it absorbs infrared radiation (heat)
more strongly than CO2. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is considerable
lower than that of water vapor; it is just a few percent. Consequently, doubling the CO2
concentration would not significantly increase the combined absorption of the two green
house gases of water vapor and CO2,‖ Pavlopoulos explained. ―Green activists don‘t
acknowledge the critical role oceans play in influencing CO2 concentrations in our air. It
has been estimated that our oceans contain as much as fifty times more dissolved CO2 than
found in our atmosphere,‖ he added.
Analytical Chemist Michael J. Myers, who specializes in spectroscopy and
atmospheric sensing, declared his skepticism in 2008. ―I am troubled by the lack of
common sense regarding carbon dioxide emissions. Our greatest greenhouse gas is water.
Atmospheric spectroscopy reveals why water has a 95 percent and CO2 a 3.6 percent
contribution to the ‗greenhouse effect.‘ Carbon dioxide emissions worldwide each year
total 3.2 billion tons. That equals about 0.0168 percent of the atmosphere's CO2
concentration of about 19 trillion tons. This results in a 0.00064 percent increase in the
absorption of the sun's radiation. This is an insignificantly small number. The yearly
increase is many orders of magnitude smaller than the standard deviation errors for CO2
concentration measurement,‖ Myers wrote in a September 25, 2008, essay titled ―Numbers
Don‘t Add Up for Global Warming.‖ ―‗Scientific‘ computer simulations predict global
warming based on increased greenhouse gas emissions over time. However, without
water's contribution taken into account they omit the largest greenhouse gas from their
equations. How can such egregious calculation errors be so blatantly ignored? This is why
man-made global warming is ‗junk‘ science,‖ Myers added. (LINK)
Dr. John Nicol, Chairman of the Australia Climate Science Coalition and a former
Senior Lecturer of Physics at James Cook University, dissented from climate change
fears in 2008. ―The claims so often made that there is a consensus among climate scientists
that global warming is the result of increased man- made emissions of CO2, has no basis in
fact,‖ Nicol wrote on September 10, 2008. ―There is no evidence, neither empirical nor
