Former Belgian Meteorologist and Astronomer Jean Meeus, who specializes in spherical and mathematical astronomy and has authored numerous studies and books, dissented from man-made global warming concerns. Meeus rejected the notion that skeptics of warming are dwindling. ―My own impression, however, is that the number of those ‗remaining‘ skeptics is increasing! Al Gore has exaggerated, and now comes the reaction,‖ Meeus wrote in (LINK) (LINK) Jack Dini, a materials engineer and section leader of fabrication processes at Lawrence Livermore National Labs, dissented in 2008. ―Thirty years ago we were supposedly headed into a cooling cycle akin to the Little Ice Age [Click here to see an actual document from that time.] Now, it's an unprecedented heating cycle. If you ask me, that's an awfully quick time for a flip-flop on the weather,‖ Dini wrote on April 1, 2008 in an article titled ―No Consensus On <strong>Global</strong> Warming.‖ ―If the 14 billion year cosmic history were scaled to one day, then 100,000 years of human history would by 4 minutes and a 100 year life-span would be 0.2 seconds. So, in less than 0.1 second in cosmic time we've switched on climate change. Seems like we need a few more cosmic time seconds to gather more data,‖ Dini wrote. (LINK) Biologist Dr. Nasif Nahle, whose research focuses on earth sciences and who has published extensive research on solar influences and biology, is a patron for the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences and recognized by the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes in Mexico. Nahle challenged global warming theory in 2008. ―We could fail if we think that the change of temperature was caused by the CO2 when the reality is that the Sun was what heated up the soil,‖ Nahle concluded in a June 12, 2008, scientific analysis of climate change. ―The carbon dioxide only interfered the energy emitted by the soil and absorbed a small amount of that radiation (0.0786 Joules), but the carbon dioxide did not cause any warming. Do never forget two important things: the first is that the carbon dioxide is not a source of heat, and the second is that the main source of warming for the Earth is the Sun,‖ Nahle explained. ―Planet Earth would not be warming if the Sun's energy output (Solar Irradiance) was not increasing. Favorably, our Sun is emitting more radiation now than it was 200 years ago, and so we should have no fear of a natural cycle that has occurred many times over in the lifetime of our Solar System,‖ he added. (LINK) (LINK) Dr. Keith Lockitch, who holds a PhD in Physics and is a researcher in science and environmental issues for the Ayn Rand Institute, rejected global warming concerns in 2008. "Despite the constant assertion that global-warming science is 'settled,'" Lockitch said, "it is far from certain that we face any sort of catastrophic global emergency,‖ Lockitch wrote on February 21, 2008. ―But in the name of 'saving the world' from unproven threats, such activists want to impose a draconian regimen of taxes, laws, regulations and controls that would affect the minutest details of our existence. Their solution to their projected 'environmental disaster' is to impose an actual economic disaster by restricting the energy that powers our civilization and subjecting its use to severe political control,‖ Lockitch wrote. "Let us not allow panic over the exaggerated claims of climate alarmists to deliver us into the hands of would-be carbon dictators,‖ he added. (LINK) 134
Retired U.S. Navy Physicist and Engineer James A. Marusek dissented in 2008. Marusek conducted solar research and concluded in a 2008 analysis: ―The sun is a major influence on climate change on Earth in that it provides solar irradiance that warms the planet and a far reaching magnetic field that shields Earth from the effects of galactic cosmic rays, which cools the planet…This paper looks at the relationship between the solar magnetic field (as expressed in ‗AA Index‘) and ocean surface temperature over the period from 1880 A.D. to present and finds this relationship is best expressed by a natural logarithmic function.‖ (LINK) Marusek rejected global warming theory as well. ―The anthropological global warming (AGW) hypothesis would have us believe that global temperatures are rising as a result of increased carbon dioxide levels in Earth‘s atmosphere and that humans are the primary cause of this increase,‖ he explained. ―An opposing hypothesis - natural global warming (NGW) - believes the rise in recently observed atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is driven by natural global warming and by volcanic activity and that humans have little effect in altering Earth‘s climate,‖ Marusek wrote. (LINK) Climate researcher Willis Eschenbach, who has published climate studies in Energy and Environment journal and had comments published in the journal Nature, dissented from man-made climate fears in 2008. ―I am definitely a critic of the IPCC, they are doing their job abysmally poorly. Rather than advance the cause of climate science, they impede it through their reliance on bad statistics, bad economics, and bad data,‖ Eschenbach wrote to EPW on February 20, 2008. ―As an example of the ridiculous state of climate science, the major discussion revolves around the global surface temperature. We have different major groups (HadCRUT, GISS, GHCN, NOAA) each keeping a ‗global temperature record‘, and all of them are different,‖ Eschenbach explained. ―Even with a Freedom of Information Act request, I couldn't get HadCRUT3 to divulge their data ... that's not science. The most basic numbers in the field, and we don't know how they are calculated, and they are not shared,‖ he added. (LINK) Eschenbach also refuted the attempted resurrection of the ―Hockey Stick‖ temperature graph in 2008. (LINK) Professional Engineer Allan M.R. MacRae of Alberta, Canada, authored a scientific analysis critical of man-made global warming in 2008. ―The IPCC‘s position that increased CO2 is the primary cause of global warming is not supported by the temperature data,‖ MacRae wrote on February 5, 2008. Variations in atmospheric CO2 concentration lag (occur after) variations in Earth‘s Surface Temperature by ~9 months. The IPCC states that increasing atmospheric CO2 is the primary cause of global warming - in effect, the IPCC states that the future is causing the past. The IPCC‘s core scientific conclusion is illogical and false,‖ MacRae explained. (LINK) Dr. Alex Storrs, an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, Astronomy & Geosciences at Towson University, dissented in 2008. ―I gave a talk at the event here (Towson Univ.) titled ‗Science, Skepticism, and <strong>Global</strong> Warming‘, and am still walking upright. I pointed out how skepticism is central to the scientific enterprise and raised the question ‗What if it‘s not CO2?‘‖ Storrs wrote to CCNET newsletter on February 8, 2008. ―[I] pointed out that by averaging the results of different climate models, rather than investigating the strengths and weaknesses of each model and choosing (tentatively, of course) the best, the IPCC had deviated from the scientific process,‖ Storrs wrote.
