using various EPA models, declared his climate skepticism. ―I have a masters in physics<br />

and over 33 years‘ working in the fields of environmental science, monitoring air quality<br />

and overseeing modeling analyses from permit models to hazardous release impact<br />

models. Were I to submit such fraudulent types of reports to my clients or to the federal or<br />

state regulatory agencies I would be kicked out of my company. Too bad folks like<br />

[NASA‘s] James Hansen can continue lying at taxpayers' expense in efforts that will line<br />

his and Al Gore‘s pockets. Follow the money!‖ Fowler told the Environment and Public<br />

Works Committee on December 10, 2009. ―I am one of the 32,000+ signers of [skeptical<br />

declaration] the Oregon Petition. Please keep fighting this zealous, destructive, anticapitalist<br />

garbage. There are more than 650 skeptics...some just won't speak out for fear of<br />

retribution,‖ Fowler explained. (LINK)<br />

Award-winning Aerospace and Mechanical Engineer Dr. Gregory W. Moore, who has<br />

authored or co-authored more than 75 publications, book chapters, and reports, and<br />

authored the 2001 Version of the NASA Space Science Technology Plan which<br />

included a comprehensive approach to studying the Sun-Earth connection aspect of<br />

space-based research and was honored by the U.S. Department of Commerce for its<br />

<strong>International</strong> Scientist Recognition. Moore also received a special recommendation of<br />

the U.S. Senate for his work related to protection of the environment. Moore,<br />

formerly a university professor, scientist of the U.S. Government lab, managing editor<br />

of an international scientific journal, member of the New York Academy of Sciences,<br />

and senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics,<br />

rejected the notion that there is a consensus on man-made climate claims in 2009. ―There<br />

is definitely no sufficient data which would create a basis for making any kind of<br />

conclusions either way,‖ Moore wrote to the Senate Environment and Public Works<br />

Committee on January 10, 2009. ―There is no sufficient data in existence anywhere which<br />

would allow for making any kind of definite statements on the effect of natural<br />

mechanisms on the global warming phenomenon,‖ Moore explained. ―The data which is<br />

used to date for making the conclusions and predictions on global warming are so rough<br />

and primitive, compared to what‘s needed, and so unreliable that they are not even worth<br />

mentioning by respectful scientists,‖ Moore added.<br />

Retired U.S. Air Force (USAF) Meteorologist William “Bill” Lyons, formerly of the<br />

USAF‟s <strong>Global</strong> Weather Central at Strategic Air Command (SAC) Headquarters<br />

where he served at “the leading edge of designing and implementing computer<br />

techniques for global weather modeling in support of SAC operations.” Lyons publicly<br />

declared his skepticism in 2009. ―I decry the creation of the fear mentality which many<br />

seem to use to prevent rational study and encourage irrational actions. I am pleased to be<br />

considered a ‗denier‘ in this cause if this puts me in the class with those who defied<br />

prevailing ‗scientific consensus‘ that the earth was flat and that the earth was the not the<br />

center of the universe,‖ Lyons told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee<br />

Minority office on March 5, 2009. ―My experience, and that of those around me, taught me<br />

to be cautious of any predictive model which could not be verified. Other activities ongoing<br />

at the time made it clear to me how monumental is the energy in our climate system, and<br />

taught me to be cautious of the value of human efforts to control the weather,‖ Lyons<br />

explained. ―<strong>Global</strong> warming and cooling are realities that have occurred in cycles which<br />

began when our atmosphere was formed. The forces involved in weather systems are<br />

difficult to comprehend, and the sources of the factors which influence warming/cooling<br />
