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

model-predicted mid-troposphere ‗hot‘ zone that is supposed to exist over the tropics.
Temperature measurements show that the hot zone is non-existent. This is more than
sufficient to invalidate global climate models and projections made with them!‖ he
concluded.
Award-winning Japanese Geologist Dr. Shigenori Maruyama, a professor at the
Tokyo Institute of Technology‟s Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences who has
authored more than 125 scientific publications, was decorated with the Medal of
Honor with Purple Ribbon for a major contribution in the field of geology, specializes
in the geological evidence of prehistoric climate change and declared his skepticism of
man-made climate fears in 2009. "Our nation must pay huge amounts of money to buy
carbon discharge rights," Maruyama said in a March 14, 2009, article in the Australian.
"This is not reasonable, but meaningless if global cooling will come soon -- scientists will
lose trust,‖ Maruyama explained. The article continued, ―Dr Maruyama said yesterday
there was widespread skepticism among his colleagues about the UN IPCC's fourth and
latest assessment report that most of the observed global temperature increase since the
mid-20th century ‗is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse
gas concentrations.‘ When this question was raised at a Japan Geoscience Union
symposium last year, he said, „the result showed 90 per cent of the participants do not
believe the IPCC report.‟” The article noted Dr. Maruyama ―thinks the large influences
on global climate over time may be global cosmic rays and solar activity‖ and ―believes the
earth has moved into a cooling period, and while Japan is spending hundreds of millions of
dollars on carbon credits to hedge against global warming, the country's greatest looming
problem is energy shortage, particularly oil.‖ ―Dr. Maruyama said he was uncomfortable,
given the scientific uncertainty of man-made climate-change theory, that Japan had taken a
leading position in the crusade for global greenhouse emission targets. Dr. Maruyama said
many scientists were doubtful about man-made climate-change theory, but did not want to
risk their funding from the government or bad publicity from the mass media, which he
said was leading society in the wrong direction,‖ the article concluded. (LINK) (LINK)

Biologist and Biochemist Dr. John Reinhard, a member of the American Chemical
Society who has published 76 papers and is currently a scientist in the pharmaceutical
industry, dissented from man-made warming fears in 2009. ―First, global warming is a
theory. Nothing more. It lacks objective data that would normally be needed to advance a
theory,‖ Reinhard wrote to the Environment and Public Works Committee on January 5,
2009. ―Moreover, the existing data show no correlation between mean temperatures and
carbon dioxide emissions. Rather, the data suggest that we are dealing with climate cycles
that cannot be predicted accurately with any of the existing models,‖ Reinhard explained.
―Adoption of carbon ‗cap & trade‘ schemes will have a very clear and negative effect on
the economies of developed nations. We can't afford to let junk science tank our economy.
Please feel free to add me to your [dissenting scientist] list,‖ Reinhard concluded.
