eceives most energy from the Sun and some energy from its depths – as we see in<br />

earthquakes and other reactions taking place deep inside the Earth. That energy warms<br />

the oceans that store the warmth on the Earth‘s surface. This is a kind of energy budget<br />

consisting of elements that come and go.‖ Levitin continued: ―The energy mankind<br />

generates is so small compared to that overall energy budget that it simply cannot affect<br />

the climate. However, the energy budget is very under-studied because there is only a<br />

small range of observations used to measure it. This is a very complicated process. Today<br />

we cannot measure it with 99% accuracy. Our current measurements are only 10%-15%<br />

accurate. The change must be at least 1% to change the climate. The planet‘s climate is<br />

doing its own thing, but we cannot pinpoint significant trends in changes to it because it<br />

dates back millions of years while the study of it began only recently. Some processes<br />

take seconds and other years. You cannot check man‘s state of health in a matter of<br />

seconds; the process could take a fortnight and even then the result will not be definitive.<br />

The same goes for climate change. We are children of the Sun; we simply lack data to<br />

draw the proper conclusions.‖ (LINK)<br />

Brazilian Geologist Geraldo Luís Lino, who authored the 2009 book “The <strong>Global</strong><br />

Warming Fraud: How a Natural Phenomenon Was Converted into a False World<br />

Emergency,” rejected man-made climate claims in 2010. Luis Lino declared it ―global<br />

warming fraud‖ and called climate fears an ―imaginary threat.‖ ―AGW has been<br />

forcefully imposed by means of a barrage of scare stories and indoctrination that begins<br />

in the elementary school textbooks,‖ he wrote on November 14, 2010. ―Hundreds of<br />

billion dollars have been wasted with the attempt of imposing a (AGW) theory that is not<br />

supported by physical world evidences,‖ he added. ―History offers a gloomy precedent<br />

of such poisoning of science by ideology and special interests: the infamous Lysenko<br />

affair in the former Soviet Union, the ruthless opposition to genetics headed by Trofim D.<br />

Lysenko and his cohorts between 1930s and 1960s...the physical elimination of stubborn<br />

scientists who resisted the 'consensual official line' (the ‗skeptics‘ of the time)',‖ he<br />

added. (LINK) (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Chemistry Professor Dr. Mary Mumper, the chair of the Chemistry Department at<br />

Frostburg State University in Maryland, who has published several peer-reviewed<br />

studies about biochemistry, declared her dissent from man-made global warming<br />

fears during an April 2009 Earth Day presentation titled Anthropogenic Carbon<br />

Dioxide and <strong>Global</strong> Warming, the Skeptic's View. "I am an environmentalist," Mumper<br />

said on April 30, 2009, but "I must disagree with Mr. Gore." According to the April 29,<br />

2009 article in the University's newspaper The Bottom Line, Mumper said, "We need to<br />

take care of our planet," and disagreed with the idea of putting all research money into<br />

CO2 abatement. ―In my skeptic's mind, that is foolish,‖ she said during her presentation.<br />

Mumper ―believes that announcements such as Gore's, saying that the debate over<br />

climate change is over are false.‖ ―Mumper's presentation explained that the global<br />

warming skeptic tends to accept that mankind plays a role in warming the earth, both<br />

through greenhouse gas, and especially urbanization, but the lack of warming in rural<br />

areas suggests that the greenhouse gas component is overblown.‖ According to the<br />

article, Mumper also explained that ―Gore's message, as well as that of the IPCC, states<br />

that anthropogenic (man-made) carbon dioxide gas is responsible for warming the planet,<br />

and is leading the planet to become an unlivable place for mankind. Mumper explained to<br />
