Geologist/Geochemist Dr. Tom V. Segalstad, a professor and head of the Geological
Museum at the University of Oslo and formerly an expert reviewer with the UN
IPCC, expressed skepticism of climate fears in 2007. A July 7, 2007 article in Canada's
Financial Post read, "In the real world, as measurable by science, CO2 in the atmosphere
and in the ocean reach a stable balance when the oceans contain 50 times as much CO2 as
the atmosphere. ‗The IPCC postulates an atmospheric doubling of CO2, meaning that the
oceans would need to receive 50 times more CO2 to obtain chemical equilibrium,' explains
Prof. Segalstad. ‗This total of 51 times the present amount of carbon in atmospheric CO2
exceeds the known reserves of fossil carbon-- it represents more carbon than exists in all
the coal, gas, and oil that we can exploit anywhere in the world.'" The article continued,
"Also in the real world, Prof. Segalstad's isotope mass balance calculations -- a standard
technique in science -- show that if CO2 in the atmosphere had a lifetime of 50 to 200
years, as claimed by IPCC scientists, the atmosphere would necessarily have half of its
current CO2 mass. Because this is a nonsensical outcome, the IPCC model postulates that
half of the CO2 must be hiding somewhere, in ‗a missing sink.' Many studies have sought
this missing sink -- a Holy Grail of climate science research-- without success. ‗It is a
search for a mythical CO2 sink to explain an immeasurable CO2 lifetime to fit a
hypothetical CO2 computer model that purports to show that an impossible amount of
fossil fuel burning is heating the atmosphere,' Prof. Segalstad concludes. ‗It is all a
fiction.'" (LINK)
Geologist Dr. David Kear, the former director of geological survey at the Department
of Science and Industrial Research in New Zealand, called predictions of rising sea level
as a result of man-made global warming "science fiction," and said the basic rules of
science are being ignored. "When youngsters are encouraged to take part in a school
science fair the first thing they are told to do is check the results, then re-check them,
something NIWA [National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research] appear to have
forgotten to do," Kear said in a April 13, 2007 article. "In looking at the next 50 years, why
have they not studied the past 50 years and applied their findings to the predictions? One
would think this was a must," Kear explained. The article continued, "First global warming
predictions made in 1987 estimated an annual rise in sea levels of 35mm. That scared the
world but since then, the figure has continued to be reduced by ‗experts.'" Kear concluded,
"Personal beliefs on climate change and rising sea levels should be delayed until just one of
the many predictions made since 1985 on the basis of carbon additions to the atmosphere
comes true." (LINK)
Solar Physicist and Climatologist Douglas V. Hoyt, who coauthored the book The Role
of the Sun in Climate Change and has worked at both the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Center for Atmospheric
Research (NCAR), has developed a scorecard to evaluate how accurate climate models
have been. Hoyt wrote, "Starting in 1997, we created a scorecard to see how climate model
predictions were matching observations. The picture is not pretty with most of the
predictions being wrong in magnitude and often in sign." (LINK) A March 1, 2007 blog
post in the National Review explained how the scoring system works. "[Hoyt] gives each
prediction a ‗yes-no-undetermined score.' So if the major models' prediction is confirmed,
