Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Cooler PDO phases usually last 21 to 25 years, so we<br />

should be quite chilly as a planet until at least 2030, maybe longer. Remember, I have<br />

another cycle of intense global warming, as I mentioned at our March 2, 2007 climate<br />

seminar at the Coeur d'Alene Re sort, due by 2031 to 2038, when all of my major cycles<br />

'collide in chaos,‘‖ he added. (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Consulting Chemist and Forensic Scientist Dr. Jim Sprott of Auckland, NZ dissented<br />

from the climate change ―consensus‖ in 2008. ―The projections of the IPCC are simplistic,<br />

superficial, and now proven wrong. The whole issue requires a fresh start, based on the<br />

mass of irrefutable data which has been assembled,‖ Sprott wrote in an analysis on<br />

November 18, 2008. ―The much-vaunted IPCC scenarios are patently wrong. The manmade<br />

climate change proposition fails. And with it fails the whole panjandrum of carbon<br />

trading,‖ Sprott added. ―The postulated connection between atmospheric temperature and<br />

atmospheric CO2 has broken down, and therefore the ―greenhouse gas‖ proposition has<br />

failed. The disparity between the IPCC prediction and observed data continues to widen,<br />

and no amount of rhetoric can alter this,‖ he added. (LINK)<br />

Geologist Marc Hendrickx, a professional geologist working to assess geologic risks<br />

and currently obtaining his PhD rejected man-made global warming fears in 2008.<br />

―We're not scared anymore Mr. Gore!‖ declares Hendrickx‘s new 2008 parody book A<br />

Climate Change Story For Little Skeptics. ―The contention that recent rises in global<br />

temperature as measured by satellites are due solely to increased concentrations of CO2<br />

from anthropogenic sources is misplaced. Temperature rises due to CO2 emissions have<br />

already been accounted for and input of additional CO2 will not result in increased global<br />

temperatures on their own. This is due to the logarithmic relationship between CO2 and<br />

temperature. This relationship explains why carbon dioxide levels have been much higher<br />

during past geological eras and have not resulted in run away greenhouse conditions,‖<br />

Hendrickx wrote to EPW on November 21, 2008. ―Computer models are often cited as<br />

providing evidence that warming is entirely caused by CO2, however computers models do<br />

not constitute evidence. Computer models have not been able to predict temperature<br />

changes over the last 20 years and even the IPCC admit that long term prediction of future<br />

climate states is not possible. Why would anyone rely on current computer models to<br />

predict climate 100 years into the future given their obvious limitations?‖ Hendrickx asked.<br />

―Arguments in favor of AGW based on the notion of ‗consensus‘ are not valid. It only<br />

takes one fact to falsify a theory,‖ he added. (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Associate Professor of Chemistry R. John Muench of Heartland Community College<br />

in Illinois dissented in 2008. ―<strong>Global</strong> warming alarmism is more religion than science. The<br />

believers have their messiah, Al Gore, who is not a scientist and has refused all monetary<br />

offers to debate the science,‖ Muench wrote on November 27, 2008, in an article titled<br />

―Natural cycles cause global warming, cooling.‖ ―Current data does not support that any<br />

warming is occurring. Satellite data shows that temperatures have been steady for the last<br />

10 years and nowhere near the projections cited by‖ proponents,‖ Muench wrote. ―After<br />

examining [Climatologist Dr. Roy] Spencer's work, I am convinced that observed climate<br />

changes are mostly natural. Unlike the believers who refuse all debate, I would welcome<br />

any opportunity to present my evidence,‖ he added. (LINK) (LINK)<br />
