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

Doomsday hype that politicians and scientists engage in. I am angry at Al Gore, I am angry
at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists for resetting its Doomsday clock, I am angry at Lord
Martin Rees for using the full weight of the Royal Society in support of the Doomsday
hype, I am angry at Paul Crutzen for his speculations about yet another technological fix, I
am angry at the staff of IPCC for their preoccupation with carbon dioxide emissions, and I
am angry at Jim Hansen for his efforts to sell a Greenland Ice Sheet Meltdown
Catastrophe," he explained. (LINK) Tennekes has also blasted Gore and the UN in the
Dutch De Volskrant newspaper on March 28, 2007. "I find the Doomsday picture Al Gore
is painting - a six-meter sea level rise, fifteen times the IPCC number - entirely without
merit," Tennekes wrote. "I protest vigorously the idea that the climate reacts like a home
heating system to a changed setting of the thermostat: just turn the dial, and the desired
temperature will soon be reached. We cannot run the climate as we wish," Tennekes said.
"Whatever the IPCC staff thinks, it is not at all inconceivable that decreasing solar activity
will lead to some cooling ten years from now," he concluded. (LINK)
Chemical engineer Thomas Ring has authored several scientific papers for Oil and
Gas Journal and is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Ring,
who has a degree from Case Western Reserve University and is licensed in the state of
California, declared "we should not fear global warming" in 2007. "Warming of the Earth
has never been catastrophic; in fact, humankind has always fared better in warmer than
cooler periods, with less hardship and illness and improved agriculture," Ring wrote on
November 28, 2007. Ring called for "solid, objective and unbiased research, rather than
fear-mongering based on a nonscientific ‗consensus.'" "What's responsible for prior periods
of warmth in 600 BC, 1000 and 1912 to 1943, all when there was no or little man-made
CO2? It's most likely the sun, whose radiation varies to the fourth power of its
temperature," he wrote. "Atmospheric water vapor is, however, 0.9 percent, 25 times as
much as CO2. Water vapor is a 'radiator' that is three times more powerful than CO2, but
its larger effect has been ignored in the global warming debate," he concluded. (LINK)
Harvard-educated Physicist Arthur E. Lemay, a renowned computer systems
specialist, declared his climate skepticism in 2007. "Recent studies show that there are
far better explanations for the earth's warming before 1998. The variations in the sun's
radiant energy and production of cosmic rays are far more persuasive than the greenhouse
gas theory," Lemay wrote on December 5, 2007 in the Jakarta Post during the UN Climate
Conference in Bali. "The solar theory explains it, the greenhouse gas theory does not. In
science, when observations do not support a theory, it is the theory which needs to be
discarded. So, all this blather about reducing CO2, the Kyoto Protocol and the Bali
conference are all a waste of money," Lemay explained. "Of course, the global warming
alarmists cannot tolerate the solar theory because we cannot do anything about it, and no
government wants to spend billions of dollars for nothing," he wrote. "It's time for
Indonesia and other developing countries to demand an explanation as to why CO2
reduction is being mandated when it is not the problem," he concluded. (LINK) & (LINK)
Geophysicist Dr. Claude Allegre, a top Geophysicist and French Socialist who has
authored more than 100 scientific articles, written 11 books, and received numerous
scientific awards including the Goldschmidt Medal from the Geochemical Society of the
United States, converted from climate alarmist to skeptic in 2006. Allegre, who was one of
