Engineer Allen Simmons worked 12 years with NASA's top climate scientists and<br />
wrote computer systems software for the world's first weather satellites, TIROS<br />
(Television and Infra-Red Observation Satellite) 1-9. Simmons also led a team of<br />
engineers and scientists to develop computer systems for the NIMBUS series of polar<br />
orbiting satellites which were designed to collect meteorological, atmospheric,<br />
geological, oceanographic, and other environmental data. Simmons also aided in the<br />
development of the first mapping images of Mars. Simmons dissented from global<br />
warming claims in 2009 and co-authored the book The Resilient Earth, described as<br />
―bringing a dose of skeptical reality to climate science and the global warming debate.‖<br />
―When you read The Resilient Earth, you will learn if the IPCC passes or fails the three<br />
pillars of science. As our research and writing progressed, our knowledge of the<br />
interrelated makeup of Earth's environment grew. We learned our understanding is far from<br />
complete when we realized how complex Earth's climate is. Throughout our efforts, our<br />
goal was to convey an unbiased and undistorted view of the science behind Earth's<br />
changing climate. We hope our passion for both science and protecting the natural world<br />
are evident in our words,‖ Simmons said according to a February 6, 2009, article. ―We are<br />
challenging computer models which predict Earth's temperature 100 years in the future. So<br />
the main purpose of the book was to uncover the who, how, and why these long-range<br />
predictions of Earth's temperature were being made. During our research, we discovered a<br />
thing missing - hard science and how little of it made it into debate. Further surprise came<br />
from the lack of knowledge among the general public and, believe it or not, among some<br />
scientists actually involved in climatology. We discovered global warming is a topic much<br />
discussed but little understood. We called it ‗<strong>Global</strong> Confusion,‘‖ Simmons explained.<br />
―The questions are scientific, but the UN answers are political. The global warming debate<br />
is hardly about science. It has become a cause célèbre, championed by activists, politicians<br />
and celebrities. To deny their belief that humans are the cause of global warming, is to<br />
invoke their wrath,‖ he added.<br />

Ohio‟s NBC 4 chief meteorologist Jym Ganahl who was the youngest person to be<br />
granted the American Metrological (AMS) Seal of Approval, dissented from man-made<br />
climate fears in 2009. ―Just wait 5 or 10 years, and it will be very obvious. They‘ll have<br />
egg on their faces,‖ Ganahl said of the promoters of global warming fears according to a<br />
February 5, 2009, article. ―It is remarkable how many people are being led like sheep in the<br />
wrong direction,‖ Ganahl explained. ―Sunspots—and not carbon emissions—are to blame<br />
for the slow warming of the globe,‖ Ganahl said. ―It has nothing to do with us. When there<br />
are sunspots, like freckles on the sun—dark spots—these are like turning on a furnace and<br />
the earth warms. When there are no sunspots, it is like the furnace is in standby and the<br />
earth cools. I have always thought we should celebrate and be thankful we live in a time<br />
when it is warmer, not curse it,‖ Ganahl said. ―It allows us to grow food and feed the<br />
population—and the warming is slow and we can adapt to it. Cold, on the other hand, is to<br />
blame for a whole host of worldly disasters, including death of the Aztecs, the Vikings, and<br />
who knew?— the bubonic plague,‖ Ganahl said. ―Instead of screaming global warming, we<br />
should be preaching global cooling,‖ he added. The article noted that ―with a new president<br />
who apparently buys into the whole carbon emission demonizing scam, Ganahl said, ‗It‘s<br />
very scary,‘ and admittedly ‗very difficult‘ to fight the mob mentality. ‗Carbon dioxide is<br />
what we, as people, exhale. Enough said. Unless you eliminate people, you have it. It‘s<br />
food for the plants and trees,‘ he said.‖ ―Just tell [the promoters of global warming] to wait<br />
