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

a 'Little Ice Age,'" Moore said. "Then the sun went back to normal and the world warmed
up," he concluded. Moore most recently co-authored two books published in 2006: 50

Atmospheric scientist Dr. James P. Koermer, a Professor of Meteorology and the
director of the Meteorological Institute at Plymouth State University dismissed manmade
global warming fears. "Global warming hysteria is based to a large extent on the
unproven predictions of climate models. These numerical models are based on many
simplified approximations of very complicated physical processes and phenomena,"
Koermer wrote to EPW on December 3, 2007. "My biggest concern is their [computer
models'] lack of ability to adequately handle water vapor and clouds, which are much more
important as climate factors than anthropogenic contributors. Until we can realistically
simulate types of clouds, their optical thicknesses, and their altitudes, which we have a
difficult time doing for short-term weather forecasts, I can't have much faith in climate
models," Koermer wrote. "Another major reason that I remain skeptical is based on what I
know about past climate changes that occurred before man walked on earth. I am more
amazed with how relatively stable climate has been over the past 15,000 or so years, versus
the large changes that frequently appeared to take place prior to that time. I also can't
ignore some of the recent evidence presented by some very well respected astrophysicists
on solar variability. Most meteorologists including me have always been taught to treat the
sun's output as a constant--now I am not so sure and I am intrigued by their preliminary
findings relating to climate," he concluded. (LINK)
Renowned agricultural scientist Dr. Norman, known as the father of the "Green
Revolution" for saving over a billion people from starvation by utilizing pioneering
high yield farming techniques, is one of only five people in history who has been
awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom ,and the
Congressional Gold Medal. Borlaug also declared himself skeptical of man-made climate
fears in 2007. "I do believe we are in a period where, no question, the temperatures are
going up. But is this a part of another one of those (natural) cycles that have brought on
glaciers and caused melting of glaciers?" Borlaug asked, according to a September 21,
2007 article in Saint Paul Pioneer Press. The article reported that Borlaug is "not sure, and
he doesn't think the science is, either." Borlaug added, "How much would we have to cut
back to take the increasing carbon dioxide and methane production to a level so that it's not
a driving force?" We don't even know how much." [Note: Borlaug died in 2009] (LINK)
Astronomer Dr. Jeff Zweerink of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA)
studies gamma rays, black holes, and neutron stars and has declared himself a skeptic of
man-made climate fears. "Many natural phenomena significantly affect the global climate.
Atmospheric conditions are impacted by tectonic activity, erosion, and changes in Earth's
biomass, for example," Zweerink wrote on December 18, 2006. "While politicians and
activists focus on the effects of fossil fuel burning the breeding and domestication of cows
and cultivation of rice, for example, actually does more harm than driving too many
SUV's," Zweerink added. (LINK)
