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

cycles remain subject to legitimate scientific debate. I suspect influence from the varying
radiation of the sun as the major factor. I rely on the scientific evidence that the variation in
warming/cooling can be statistically correlated with changes in CO2 levels, but the
correlation is not predictive of CO2 causality in that the change in CO2 typically lags the
change in temperature by several hundred years. My personal experience in building
statistical forecasting models taught me that correlation is not always a predictive
relationship,‖ Lyons concluded.
Earth Scientist Dr. Javier Cuadros of the UK Natural History Museum who
specializes in Clay Mineralogy and has published more than 30 scientific papers,
rejected man-made climate fears in 2009. ―Curiously, it is a feature of man-made global
warming that every fact confirms it: rising temperatures or decreasing temperatures,
drought or torrential rain, tornadoes and hurricanes or changes in the habits of migratory
birds. No matter what the weather, some model of global warming offers a watertight
explanation,‖ Cuadros wrote on March 3, 2009. ―For a scientist like me, this sounds fishy. I
imagine that there are a good number of models, each with different assumptions and
results, but we are never given a general view of these models, what data they use, how
their results compare and where and when their predictions apply. The impression is that
science popularisers cherry-pick whichever happens to provide the results that match the
news of the day. One very useful tool in this respect has been the conceptual change from
global warming to the more adaptable one of climate change,‖ Cuadros wrote. ―Global
warming has become a powerful political tool,‖ Cuadros explained. ―I do not find the
supposed scientific consensus among my colleagues. My field is earth sciences, related to
certain aspects of climate change in the geological scale. Approximately 70 per cent of
fellow researchers with whom I have discussed the matter think that we do not have
sufficient information to be sure about the issue and that the pretended consensus is
politically manufactured. The other 30 per cent do believe there is sufficient evidence in
favor of the man-made global warming interpretation. My conversations have sampled
scientists from Scotland to Gibraltar and from San Francisco to Moscow,‖ he continued.
―[Former Vice President Al] Gore simply made a film and toured the world for a short time
while cashing in heavily on a popular theory. This shows that the environmental lobby has
become so successful and powerful that they are fearless and ready to take their battle to
the most unconvincing extremes. This panorama is a distressing one for science. The case
for man-made global warming has been made waving the banner of science,‖ he concluded.

Award-winning Princeton University Physicist Dr. Robert H. Austin, who heads “The
Robert H. Austin Research Group in Biophysics” and has published 170 scientific
papers, was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and is a
fellow Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and is the current Chair of the U.S. Liaison Committee of the
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. Austin, who won the 2005 Edgar
Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society, rejected man-made climate claims in
2009. ―I was taught that any discipline with the word ‗science‘ as part of its title is to be
avoided, such as Political Science. Unfortunately, Climate Science has become Political
Science,‖ Austin told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on March 2,
2009. ―We understand very little still about climate changes on Earth, which have been
over the eons dramatic and sometimes rapid, and mankind had nothing to do with these
changes. If you cannot predict the past, you cannot predict the future. It is tragic that some
