IPCC can be assessed as physical misunderstanding and physical misinterpretations,"<br />

Kramm wrote in a letter to the Associated Press on October 21, 2007. "There is no<br />

scientific certainty, even though the Associated Press distributes this message always every<br />

day," Kramm wrote in his letter, criticizing the news outlet. "The change in the radiative<br />

forcing components since the beginning of the industrial era is so small (2 W/m^2,<br />

according to the IPCC 2007) that we have no pyrgeometers (radiometers to measure the<br />

infrared radiometer emitted by the earth and the atmosphere) which are able to provide any<br />

empirical evidence of such a small change because their degrees of accuracy are too less,"<br />

he wrote. "By far, most of [the IPCC] members can be considered, indeed, as members of a<br />

Church of <strong>Global</strong> Warming. They are not qualified enough to understand the physics<br />

behind the greenhouse effect and to prove the accuracy of global climate models (see, for<br />

instance, the poor publication record of Dr. [RK] Pachauri, the current Chairman of the<br />

IPCC). However, in science it would be highly awkward to vote which results are correct<br />

and which are wrong," he added. "A decrease of the anthropogenic CO2 emission to the<br />

values below of those of 1990 would not decrease the atmospheric CO2 concentration. This<br />

concentration would increase further, however the increase would be lowering. As<br />

illustrated in Slide 38, it might be that the atmospheric CO2 concentration tends to an<br />

equilibrium concentration of somewhat higher than 500 ppmv. Here, equilibrium means<br />

that the increase of natural and anthropogenic CO2 emission is equaled by the uptake of<br />

CO2 by vegetation and ocean," he concluded. (LINK) & (LINK)<br />

Geologist Georgia D. Brown, an instructor of Geology & Oceanography at College of<br />

Lake County in Illinois, who co-authored a 1993 peer-reviewed study on the CO2<br />

content in the magma from Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii in the prestigious journal<br />

American Mineralogist, rejected climate fears and supported the notion of a coming<br />

global cool down. "I talk to my students about this topic every semester, not just when we<br />

are covering glacial geology, but at different points throughout the term. I want them to<br />

know that they shouldn't take every alarmist claim at face value," Brown wrote on<br />

December 13, 2006. "Fear is a means of controlling a population, and since the cold war<br />

has ended, the government needed new fuel for its control fire," Brown wrote. Brown, who<br />

said she "spent quite a bit of time doing research in climatology, and what triggers the ice<br />

age cycle" explained that "it is a slight increase in temperature, and the resulting increase in<br />

precipitation, that triggers ice sheet growth.....And have you read about the 30% decrease in<br />

the North Atlantic Current? What happens to Greenland, Iceland, The British Isles, and<br />

Europe as a result? It gets damn cold!" (LINK)<br />

Physicist Dr. Laurence I. Gould, Professor of Physics at the University of Hartford<br />

and former Chair of the New England Section of the American Physical Society, has<br />

authored peer-reviewed research articles and given numerous talks nationally and<br />

internationally. Gould, who has made an intensive study of climate change, challenged<br />

climate fears in 2007. "There is (I have found) a huge problem in getting to learn of both<br />

sides of the AGW debate. But this ‗debate' needs to be aired, regardless of what is being<br />

presented to scientists and to the public as the ‗truth' about AGW," Gould wrote in a<br />

September 20, 2007 editorial titled "<strong>Global</strong> Warming from a Critical Perspective."<br />

"Although I have seen many articles arguing for the reality and danger of anthropogenic<br />

greenhouse warming (AGW), I have rarely seen one that presents scientific arguments<br />

against the AGW claims," Gould wrote. "The implication [by many in the media] seems to<br />

be that anyone who has a contrary argument is not ‗respectable' - yet there are many<br />
