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

that climate change (aka global warming) during the past half century is primarily due to
anthropogenic (manmade) causes," he wrote. Epstein continued: ―Long-term climate data
indicate that world climate varies naturally, and those cycles are the collective result of
scores of interrelated variables, playing out either in consort or not. Volcanic activity,
sunspots, ocean currents, global winds, and more interact to cool and warm Earth. Man
plays a role, but it is dwarfed by the natural variability of the planet.," he added. "The
entire premise of man controlling the weather or climate will, if left unchallenged, yield
rules and regulations as crazy as the very premise on which they will be based.‖ (LINK)

Chemist Dr. Peter Bonk has researched oxidation-reduction catalysts for control of
CO/Hydrocarbon/NOx emissions from automotive engines. He worked in Central
Research Laboratories of Dow Chemical and is the author of nine scientific
publications and patents. Bonk, a member of the American Chemical Society,
rejected global warming science in 2010. ―When one realizes all the factors at play that
define and shape climate, the idea of hanging all the changes (and saying that they are all
bad) on CO2, an important but minor atmospheric component, seem beyond all reason,‖
Bonk wrote in a May 24, 2010 essay. ―The sun is huge, and since we know some cycles
occur every 22 years, it suggests that other longer term cycles of solar size, luminosity or
energy output would easily influence climate here on earth,‖ he added. (LINK) (LINK)
Award-winning Meteorologist J.R. Kirtek of Michigan's WJRT Channel 12, who
worked as a private weather-consultant and holds the American Meteorological
Society Seal of Approval, declared his climate dissent in 2009. "One of the major
problems we human beings have is our inability to comprehend 'time.' To us, 100 years is
a long time. Geologically speaking, 100 years isn't even the blink of an eye. Even when
we say on the news, 'an all-time record,' that really isn't the case at all. That only means
in the last 'blink of an eye,'‖ Kirtek told Associated Content according to an April 30,
2009 article. The article noted that Kirtek ―is skeptical of the so-called science of global
warming.‖ Kirtek ridiculed ―An Inconvenient Truth.‖ ―If the definition for a documentary
is 'presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a
book or film,' then I am confident that Al Gore's movie was not a documentary,‖ Kirtek
said. "I am the father of five children," "I want them to have a beautiful, healthy
environment in which to live. I also believe that we are stewards of the earth. God has
given us all that we have, and it is our duty to do everything possible to protect the earth,
and to use our resources wisely,‖ Kirtek explained. "Having said that, I am a
uniformitarianist. Uniformitarianism is a scientific principle still taught today at around
the 6th-grade level. Basically, it says that what happened in the past will happen again. In
the grand scheme of things I believe this to be true. There are far greater factors at work
than us, or what we are, or aren't doing.‖ (LINK)
Research Chemist William C. Gilbert published a study in August 2010 in the
journal Energy & Environment titled “The thermodynamic relationship between
surface temperature and water vapour concentration in the troposphere” and he
published a paper in August 2009 titled “Atmospheric Temperature Distribution in
a Gravitational Field.” Gilbert harshly critiqued the ―consensus‖ view of global
warming. ―I am ashamed of what climate science has become today,‖ Gilbert wrote in
August 2009. The science ―community is relying on an inadequate model to blame CO2
