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

with the anthropogenic impact on climate convincingly argues for such an impact," the two
scientists noted in 2003. Bashkirtsev and Mashnich believe the evidence of solar impacts
on the climate "leave little room for the anthropogenic impact on the Earth's climate."
They believe that "solar variations naturally explain global cooling observed in 1950-1970,
which cannot be understood from the standpoint of the greenhouse effect, since CO2 was
intensely released into the atmosphere in this period." (LINK)
Physics Professor Emeritus Dr. Howard Hayden of the University of Connecticut and
author of The Solar Fraud: Why Solar Energy Won't Run the World, debunked fears of
a man-made climate disaster during a presentation in April. "You think SUVs are the cause
of glaciers shrinking? I don't think so," Hayden, who retired after 32 years as a professor,
said, according to an April 25, 2007 article in Maine Today. "Don't believe what you hear
out of Hollywood and Washington, D.C.," Hayden said. According to the article, Hayden
argued that "climate history proves that Gore has the relationship between carbon dioxide
concentration and global warming backwards. A higher concentration of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere, he said, does not cause the Earth to be warmer. Instead," he said, "a
warmer Earth causes the higher carbon dioxide levels." Hayden explained, "The sun heats
up the Earth and the oceans warm up and atmospheric carbon dioxide rises." According to
the article, Hayden "said humans' contribution to global carbon dioxide levels is virtually
negligible." Hayden is also the editor of a monthly newsletter called "The Energy
Advocate." (LINK)
Internationally renowned scientist Dr. Antonio Zichichi, president of the World
Federation of Scientists and a retired Professor of Advanced Physics at the University
of Bologna in Italy, who has published over 800 scientific papers, questioned man-made
global warming fears. According to an April 27, 2007 article at Zenit.org, Zichichi "pointed
out that human activity has less than 10% impact on the environment." The article noted
that Zichichi "showed that the mathematical models used by the [UN's] IPCC do not
correspond to the criteria of the scientific method. He said the IPCC used ‗the method of
'forcing' to arrive at their conclusions that human activity produces meteorological
variations.'" Zichichi said that based upon actual scientific fact "it is not possible to exclude
the idea that climate changes can be due to natural causes," and he added that it is plausible
that "man is not to blame." According to the article, "He also reminded those present that
500,000 years ago the Earth lost the North and South Poles four times. The poles
disappeared and reformed four times, he said. Zichichi said that in the end he is not
convinced that global warming is caused by the increase of emissions of ‗greenhouse gases'
produced through human activity. Climate changes, he said, depend in a significant way on
the fluctuation of cosmic rays." Zichichi also signed a December 2007 open letter to the
United Nations stating in part "Significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more
doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming." (LINK) & (LINK)

Renowned Astronomer Sir Patrick Moore, a fellow of the UK's Royal Astronomical
Society, host of the BBC's Sky at Night program since 1957 and author of over 60
books on astronomy called global warming concern ‗rubbish' in an interview with The
Sun in 2005. "I think it's a lot of rubbish! From 1645-1715 the sun was inactive and we had
