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

perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have
whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomena which is statistically questionable at best,
and I deeply regret that scientific societies such as the National Academy of Sciences and
the American Physical Society have not played leadership roles in giving voice to questions
about the depth of our knowledge of climate change and man's ability to change climate,‖
Austin explained. ―Of course I am an environmentalist and I would like to see us develop
alternate energy sources and conserve energy thoughtfully. I believe that biotechnology
will lead the way towards a true greener future which is less polluting and more
sustainable,‖ he added. (LINK) (LINK)
Environmental Engineer James A. Haigh, PE, a Certified Plant Engineer and
Licensed Professional Engineer of 36 years who has assisted in the design of Class III
nuclear valves for nuclear power plants, designed Energy Conservation Process such
as cogeneration, pressurized condensate return and authored numerous
environmental engineering and pollution studies. Haigh, a life long environmentalist,
dissented from climate fears in 2009. Haigh presented a paper January 26, 2009, on how
the current ―Media Induced State of Fear from alleged Human Induced Global Warming‖
adversely affects Environmental Compliance and can result in ―disastrous and ineffective
long term energy planning.‖ Haigh told Environment and Public Works Committee on
February 4, 2009, that based on his research of available data he had ―reached the
conclusion that man-made climate fears were ‗obviously incorrect‘ records of the surface
of the sun heating up correlate with the rise in the earth's temperature far more consistently
than the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere. In fact there are 30 year periods where CO2 rises
almost linearly while global surface temperatures fell considerably (1940-1970)‖ Haigh
wrote. ―CO2 control is appears to be an effective way to limit the global competitiveness of
the US and method to reduce our standard of living at the expense of (countries like)
communist china that have little or no environmental compliance law in comparison to the
US,‖ he continued. ―My greatest concern is that national policy decisions should not be
made in a media-induced ‗State of Fear.‘ Concentrating on CO2 as the sole source of
immediate and dire global climate change diverts the focus from the true concern,
environmental compliance. The public has been mislead into thinking that ―being green‖ is
synonymous with saving the environment when in fact ‗green alternative fuels‘ such as
corn ethanol (which doesn‘t reduce fossil fuel demand) actually makes significant
contributions to already dangerous ground water pollution and surface run off that has
created a 200 mile dead zone at the mouth of the Mississippi River where nothing lives,‖
Haigh wrote. ―That is only one example of how making decisions in a Media Induced State
of Fear have immediate and dire effect on the environment. Licensed professional
engineers such as me practicing in the environmental field tend to view such things as
Human Induced Global Warming theory on how it actually and immediately affects our
global competitiveness and distracts us from making sound long term, environmentally
sound energy policy,‖ Haigh wrote.
Meteorologist Tony Pann of WUSA 9 in Washington, DC, holds the American
Meteorological Seal of Approval and dissented from man-made climate fears. ―I am on
the ‗other side of the fence‘ when it comes to global warming...and I'm not alone by any
means,‖ Pann wrote on July 22, 2008, in the Washington Post. ―I am all for the
environmental movement...there are a million reasons to clean up the air and find
alternative fuels. This whole thing has really moved away from science anyhow and taken
