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

I don't even grant that there is a consensus among scientists; it's just that the press only
promotes the global warming alarmists and ignores or minimizes those of us who are
skeptical. To many of us, there is no convincing evidence that carbon dioxide produced by
humans has any influence on the Earth's climate. Arguing that our country should decrease
its use of fossil fuels is a laudable goal, but the reason to do so should be to reduce our
reliance on energy from foreign sources, not to reduce the danger from some imaginary
boogeyman,‖ he added. ―The sky is not burning, and to claim that it is amounts to
journalistic malpractice,‖ Campbell concluded. (LINK) (LINK) (LINK) (LINK) (LINK)

Miroslav Kutilek, Emeritus Professor of Soil Science and Soil Physics at Czech
Technical University in Prague who specialized in paleoclimatology of soil, received
the “Mendel's award in Biological Sciences” from the Academy of Sciences in Prague
and is an Honorary Member International Union of Soil Science.. Kutilek dissented
from man-made climate claims and cited the views in ―Rationally on Global Warming‖ to
describe his view of man-made claimte fears. ―The Earth climate change is influenced by
eight factors: (1) Milanković cycles, (2) Solar activity, (3) Continental drift, (4)
Greenhouse gases, (5) Thermohaline circulation, (6) Aerosols, volcanoes and asteroids, (7)
Vegetation cover, (8) Earth magnetic field,‖ Kutilek wrote to the minority staff of the
Environment and Public Works Committee on December 25, 2008. ―Except of continental
drift acting on geologic scale all remaining seven factors may contribute to the recent
change of climate. The climate oscillations in Holocene were not caused by the change of
CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere and the warm periods were typical by higher
temperature than the recent average. The rate of temperature rise was in several well
documented instances higher than in the last two decades. Assumption on dominant role of
greenhouse gases in recent global warming is therefore false. Catastrophic scenarios on the
influence of global warming upon the further existence of homo sapiens are not
scientifically based since the climate change contributed first to the hominization of ape
and later on to the development of historical civilizations,‖ Kutilek wrote.
Coastal Engineer Cyril Galvin wrote an analysis for the American Geophysical Union
(AGU) titled “Human Impacts on Climate” in which he dissented from the global
warming position statement of the AGU. ―My opinion on the subject derives from more
than 50 years as an AGU member with long and broad interest,‖ Galvin wrote in the
November 2008 AGU publication. ―The prevailing assumption in the press, in legislative
considerations, and in climate science is that global warming causes seal level rise, which
causes beach erosion,‖ Galvin explained. ―Nowhere on the sandy ocean shores of the world
is there a beach whose erosion ahs been documented to be caused by sea level rise,‖ Galvin
wrote. ―The above sample of facts and outside opinions, as well as my observation of the
scientific process, suggest that global warming is not the settled question described in the
AGU December 2007 position statement,‖ Galvin wrote. ―Since 1964, I have attended at
least 30 AGU annual meetings and have contributed at least 40 posters and talks before at
least 10 AGU sections,‖ Galvin wrote.
Nuclear Chemist Gary L. Troyer has worked as an analytical chemist and was a
Fellow Scientist at the Westinghouse Hanford Company and has authored numerous
papers related to measurements of radionuclides and laboratory applications. Troyer,
