Former Belgian Meteorologist and Astronomer Jean Meeus, who specializes in<br />

spherical and mathematical astronomy and has authored numerous studies and<br />

books, dissented from man-made global warming concerns. Meeus rejected the notion that<br />

skeptics of warming are dwindling. ―My own impression, however, is that the number of<br />

those ‗remaining‘ skeptics is increasing! Al Gore has exaggerated, and now comes the<br />

reaction,‖ Meeus wrote in (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Jack Dini, a materials engineer and section leader of fabrication processes at<br />

Lawrence Livermore National Labs, dissented in 2008. ―Thirty years ago we were<br />

supposedly headed into a cooling cycle akin to the Little Ice Age [Click here to see an<br />

actual document from that time.] Now, it's an unprecedented heating cycle. If you ask me,<br />

that's an awfully quick time for a flip-flop on the weather,‖ Dini wrote on April 1, 2008 in<br />

an article titled ―No Consensus On <strong>Global</strong> Warming.‖ ―If the 14 billion year cosmic history<br />

were scaled to one day, then 100,000 years of human history would by 4 minutes and a 100<br />

year life-span would be 0.2 seconds. So, in less than 0.1 second in cosmic time we've<br />

switched on climate change. Seems like we need a few more cosmic time seconds to gather<br />

more data,‖ Dini wrote. (LINK)<br />

Biologist Dr. Nasif Nahle, whose research focuses on earth sciences and who has<br />

published extensive research on solar influences and biology, is a patron for the<br />

American Association for the Advancement of Sciences and recognized by the<br />

Autonomous University of Aguascalientes in Mexico. Nahle challenged global warming<br />

theory in 2008. ―We could fail if we think that the change of temperature was caused by the<br />

CO2 when the reality is that the Sun was what heated up the soil,‖ Nahle concluded in a<br />

June 12, 2008, scientific analysis of climate change. ―The carbon dioxide only interfered<br />

the energy emitted by the soil and absorbed a small amount of that radiation (0.0786<br />

Joules), but the carbon dioxide did not cause any warming. Do never forget two important<br />

things: the first is that the carbon dioxide is not a source of heat, and the second is that the<br />

main source of warming for the Earth is the Sun,‖ Nahle explained. ―Planet Earth would<br />

not be warming if the Sun's energy output (Solar Irradiance) was not increasing. Favorably,<br />

our Sun is emitting more radiation now than it was 200 years ago, and so we should have<br />

no fear of a natural cycle that has occurred many times over in the lifetime of our Solar<br />

System,‖ he added. (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Dr. Keith Lockitch, who holds a PhD in Physics and is a researcher in science and<br />

environmental issues for the Ayn Rand Institute, rejected global warming concerns in<br />

2008. "Despite the constant assertion that global-warming science is 'settled,'" Lockitch<br />

said, "it is far from certain that we face any sort of catastrophic global emergency,‖<br />

Lockitch wrote on February 21, 2008. ―But in the name of 'saving the world' from<br />

unproven threats, such activists want to impose a draconian regimen of taxes, laws,<br />

regulations and controls that would affect the minutest details of our existence. Their<br />

solution to their projected 'environmental disaster' is to impose an actual economic disaster<br />

by restricting the energy that powers our civilization and subjecting its use to severe<br />

political control,‖ Lockitch wrote. "Let us not allow panic over the exaggerated claims of<br />

climate alarmists to deliver us into the hands of would-be carbon dictators,‖ he added.<br />
