theoretical, that carbon dioxide emissions from industrial and other human activities can<br />

have any effect on global climate,‖ Nicol explained. ―The fundamental requirement of<br />

reproducible evidence has been lost in the process of promulgating the messages regarding<br />

the output from the experimental computer models providing suggestions of global<br />

warming for the IPCC reports. No two of these 23 models provide the same values of<br />

temperature – the results are not reproducible,‖ Nicol added. ―That human-caused global<br />

climate change is so small that it cannot yet be differentiated from natural changes has not<br />

been accepted. Rather our governments are being subjected to calls to provide policies<br />

based on unsubstantiated assertions of largely non-scientific executives of the IPCC, who<br />

ignore the uncertainties expressed in the main scientific reports of the <strong>International</strong><br />

Panel. Evidence that no changes have been observed in Monsoonal activity, snow in the<br />

Himalayas, the rate of glacial retreat and the rise of sea level is conveniently ignored or<br />

presented as perceived evidence of ‗change,‘‖ he added. ―The best scientific advice<br />

available at present is to ‗Follow the Sun.‘ Adaptation to climate change will not be aided<br />

by imprudent restructuring of the world‘s energy economy in pursuit of the mitigation of an<br />

alleged 9 C dangerous human-caused warming that can neither be demonstrated nor<br />

measured,‖ Nicol concluded. (LINK)<br />

Veteran Meteorologist William R. Young denounced the cause of climate change in<br />

2008. ―As a meteorologist with 37 years of practical experience and a master's degree<br />

in meteorology, I can tell you that is one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard,‖<br />

Young wrote on October 4, 2008, after then Vice President nominee Senator Joe Biden<br />

blamed mankind for global warming. ―We can all debate global warming and how much of<br />

an impact it has had and will have on our future weather, but not all change is the result of<br />

man. If he would question that, have him (Biden) give me a call,‖ Young added. (LINK)<br />

Physics professor Wayne Hocking heads the Atmospheric Dynamics Group at the<br />

University of Western Ontario, has an extensive list of scientific publications, coedited<br />

of the 1990 book The Earth's Middle Atmosphere, and dissented in 2008.<br />

<strong>Scientists</strong> ―do not know enough about the atmospheric changes‖ to ―draw any conclusions<br />

about global warming,‖ Hocking, who presented his polar research to the Physics and<br />

Astronomy Colloquium, said according to an October 9, 2008 article. The article reported,<br />

―Hocking is hesitant to claim he can make any predictions about global warming. ‗For this<br />

to be effective, we need to be there for 20, 30, 40 years, have a long-term data set and then<br />

we can start to make useful predictions,‘‖ Hocking said. ―We know there is so much<br />

complexity involved, we want to tread more cautiously,‖ he says. ―Maybe in 10 years time,<br />

it‘ll all (the icecaps) start to freeze over, we just don‘t know,‖ he explained. The article<br />

continued, ―Hocking cautions against focusing solely on global warming, but rather to view<br />

it as one of many atmospheric changes that must be researched and understood. ‗I think it‘s<br />

too narrow of a view,‘ he says. ‗You‘ve got to consider everything together and see global<br />

warming as part of a larger picture rather than something in isolation.‘‖ ―I‘m not against<br />

global warming, but I want people to realize it is only one of many dynamic events that<br />

occur in the atmosphere and we need to understand them all,‖ he says. (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Chemist Dr. Kenneth Rundt, a bio-molecule researcher and formerly a research<br />

assistant and teacher at Abo Akademi University in Finland, declared his global<br />

warming dissent in June 2008. ―Let me state immediately before you read on that I count<br />

myself among the ‗skeptics‘,‖ Rundt wrote in a scientific paper titled ―<strong>Global</strong> Warming –<br />
