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

Dr. William DiPuccio, a retired weather forecaster in the US Navy and former
Meteorological Technician for the National Weather Service, dissented in 2008. ―We
should be cautious about placing our faith in climate models that vastly oversimplify the
actual climate system. Supporting evidence for the IPCC‘s projections does not warrant the
high level (90%-95%) of confidence exhibited by its authors. Much less should these
projections be used, at this point, for making public policy decisions,‖ DiPuccio wrote in a
November 17, 2008 analysis. ―Though the latest IPCC report (2007) concludes that global
warming, due to increased CO2, is a virtual certainty, the authors themselves raise
fundamental doubts about our scientific understanding of radiative forcing agents and
climate change, both past and present,‖ DiPuccio explained. ―There are disagreements
surrounding the residence time of CO2—i.e., how long it remains in the atmosphere before
being absorbed. Does it continue to accumulate for centuries as some scientists contend, or
is it absorbed more rapidly by ‗sinks‘ such as vegetation (which thrive on increased CO2
levels) and oceans as suggested by some data?‖ he added. ―The media will continue to
hype this issue, focusing on the most sensational statements and events. Apocalyptic
views, like those of Al Gore and James Hansen (NASA), have dominated the public
discussion and classroom education,‖ he added. (LINK)
Physicist and Neuroscientist Dr. Gregory Young is a, currently engaged in
experimental biophysical research, dissented from global warming fears in 2008. ―There
is a huge problem with the idea that Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, is a globally polluting gas,
much less one that causes climate change and global warming. Even though some data
seemed to initially substantiate the AGW thesis, these ideas were later proven to be
wrong,‖ Young wrote on November 21, 2008. ―Let me assure you that we're not in good
humor, nor take it kindly to be slurred and ridiculed by taking the other side in this debate.
And our numbers are still growing. Indeed, we're angry that the vast majority of American
Scientists will not be heard by the media,‖ Young added. Young also noted that former
Vice President Al Gore‘s scientific mentor Roger Revelle had differing views on CO2
driving global warming. ―Even Roger Revelle understood that there were greater variables
at play than the trace gas of CO2. Before he died, Revelle gave interviews and wrote letters
stating that CO2 and its greenhouse effect did not warrant extreme countermeasures. He
told Omni Magazine, in March 1984, that "CO2 increase is predicted to temper weather
extremes" -- not cause them. One cannot argue that CO2 was a causative factor --
especially since CO2 was apparently following temperature trend -- not moderating it. It
seems none of his followers, Gore in particular, heeded his words,‖ Young explained.

Canadian Climatologist Cliff Harris of Long Range Weather service dissented from
warming fears and predicted a coming global cooling. ―In the past 10 years, especially the
past couple of years, the Earth's climate has begun to cool, even though CO2 emissions
have soared on a worldwide scale. How many years of declining temperatures will it take
to finally break up Al Gore's 'global warming consensus'? Only time will tell-- probably
when all the money runs out,‖ Harris wrote on November 16, 2008. ―These alternating
natural climatic cycles defy the so-called ‗climate consensus‘ that human-emitted carbon
dioxide was responsible totally for the recent cycle of global warming that began in the late
1970s and peaked in 1998. Several Canadian environmental scientists agree that the new
Jason satellite indicates at least a 23-year cycle of global cooling ahead. Count me in!‖
Harris wrote. ―This oceanographic satellite shows a much larger than normal persistent
