Atmospheric Physicist Dr. John Reid, who worked with Australia‟s CSIRO‟s<br />

(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) Division of<br />

Oceanography and worked in surface gravity waves (ocean waves) research, rejected<br />

man-made global warming fears in October 2009. Reid bluntly called the climate fear<br />

movement ―a new religion that has grown out of secular humanism.‖ He explained that<br />

―Gore has taken a role corresponding to that of St Paul in proselytizing the new faith.‖<br />

Reid explained: ―My skepticism about AGW arises from the fact that as a physicist who<br />

has worked in closely related areas, I know how poor the underlying science is. In effect<br />

the scientific method has been abandoned in this field. Back in the early 1990s when I<br />

was still working for the CSIRO and the early versions of the AGW theory started to gain<br />

currency, I was rather bemused by the passions which were aroused in my colleagues and<br />

the gullibility with which predictions of future climate disaster were accepted.‖ He<br />

added: ―In effect a new religion has grown out of secular humanism. <strong>Global</strong> warming is<br />

the central tenet of this new belief system in much the same way that the Resurrection is<br />

the central tenet of Christianity. Al Gore has taken a role corresponding to that of St Paul<br />

in proselytizing the new faith. Meteorologists regularly test model ‗skill‘. Climatologists<br />

don‘t seem to have a concept of testing, and prefer to use the term ‗verification‘ instead—<br />

that is, they do not seek to invalidate their models; they only seek supporting evidence.‖<br />

Dr. Christopher J. Kobus, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at<br />

Oakland University, specializes in alternative energy (especially biofuels), thermal<br />

transport phenomena, two-phase flow and fluid and thermal energy systems and<br />

has published peer-reviewed papers. Kobus declared man-made global warming a<br />

"fraud." "In essence, the jig is up," Kobus wrote on December 7, 2010. "The whole thing<br />

is a fraud. And even the fraudsters that fudged data are admitting to temperature history<br />

that they used to say didn't happen," Kobus wrote. "Perhaps what has doomed the<br />

ClimateGate fraudsters the most was their brazenness in fudging the data. It wasn't just<br />

the temperature reconstruction of the past from tree rings, ice cores and other indirect<br />

methods, but their current system of fudging actual direct temperature data from weather<br />

stations and their placement in urban environments that tend to be warmer due to<br />

artificial structures while intentionally not putting sensors away from civilization that<br />

would show true surface temperature," he added. Kobus has referred to NASA's James<br />

Hansen as a "climate kook." Kobus maintains that the human impact on climate is small.<br />

"Human activity is a small spec in the CO2 output cycle, accounting for all of 2.33% of<br />

total CO2 output. Worse yet, that totally ignored the most voluminous greenhouse gas in<br />

our atmosphere - water vapor. If one takes water vapor into account, then CO2<br />

contributes about 4% of atmospheric greenhouse gases, of which we contribute 3.2% of<br />

that 4%. You can see where this is going, right?" he added. (LINK) (LINK) (LINK)<br />

Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Tim Coleman rejected the 'hysteria' of global warming in<br />

2009. ―'It has now gotten to the point that almost any major weather event is blamed by<br />

someone on global climate change,‖ Coleman wrote in October 2009. ―The global<br />

warming hysteria in the media really began to heat up after Hurricane Katrina struck the<br />
