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

of the warming, if it comes, will be during winters and at night and toward the poles. For
most life in the oceans, warming means faster growth, reduced energy requirements to stay
warm, lower winter mortalities, and wider ranges of distribution," he explained. "No one
knows whether the Earth is going to keep warming, or since reaching a peak in 1998, we
are at the start of a cooling cycle that will last several decades or more," Everett concluded.
Everett also worked for the National Marine Fisheries Service as Division Chief for
Fisheries Development in the 1970s and he noted that the concern then was about how
predicted global cooling would impact the oceans. (LINK) & (LINK)
Physicist Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu, the former director of both University of Alaska
Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute and International Arctic Research Center who has
twice been named in "1000 Most Cited Scientists," released a scientific study of the
Arctic on March 2007 that concluded the recent warming was likely "natural" and not
manmade. (LINK) Akasofu, an award winning scientist who has published more than 550
professional journal articles and authored or co-authored 10 books, also recently blasted the
UN IPCC process. "I think the initial motivation by the IPCC (established in 1988) was
good; it was an attempt to promote this particular scientific field," Akasofu said in an April
1, 2007 interview. "But so many [scientists] jumped in, and the media is looking for a
disaster story, and the whole thing got out of control," Akasofu added. The article
continued: "Akasofu said there is no data showing that ‗most' of the present warming is due
to the man-made greenhouse effect, as the members of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change wrote in February. "If you look back far enough, we have a bunch of data
that show that warming has gone on from the 1600s with an almost linear increase to the
present," Akasofu said. The article concluded: "Akasofu said scientists who support the
man-made greenhouse gas theory disregard information from centuries ago when exploring
the issue of global warming. Satellite images of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean have been
available in the satellite era only since the 1960s and 1970s. ‗Young researchers are
interested in satellite data, which became available after 1975,' he said. ‗All the papers
since (the advent of satellites) show warming. That's what I call 'instant climatology.' I'm
trying to tell young scientists, 'You can't study climatology unless you look at a much
longer time period.'" (LINK)
Physicist Dr. Gerhard Gerlich, of the Institute of Mathematical Physics at the
Technical University Carolo-Wilhelmina in Braunschweig in Germany, and Dr. Ralf
D. Tscheuschner co-authored a July 7, 2007 paper titled "Falsification of the
Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within the Frame of Physics." The abstract of
the paper reads in part, "(a) there are no common physical laws between the warming
phenomenon in glass houses and the fictitious atmospheric greenhouse effects; (b) there are
no calculations to determine an average surface temperature of a planet; (c) the frequently
mentioned difference of 33 C is a meaningless number calculated wrongly; (d) the formulas
of cavity radiation are used inappropriately; (e) the assumption of a radiative balance is
unphysical; (f) thermal conductivity and friction must not be set to zero, the atmospheric
greenhouse conjecture is falsified." Gerlich and Tscheuschner's study concluded, "The
horror visions of a risen sea level, melting pole caps and developing deserts in North
America and in Europe are fictitious consequences of fictitious physical mechanisms, as
they cannot be seen even in the climate model computations. The emergence of hurricanes
and tornados cannot be predicted by climate models, because all of these deviations are
ruled out. The main strategy of modern CO2-greenhouse gas defenders seems to hide
