Paleoclimatologist Dr. Ian D. Clark, professor of the Department of Earth Sciences at
University of Ottawa, who has been involved with the International Atomic Energy
Agency and co-authored the book Environmental Isotopes in Hydrogeology, which won
the Choice Magazine "Outstanding Textbook" award in 1998, reversed his views on
man-made climate change after further examining the evidence. "I used to agree with these
dramatic warnings of climate disaster. I taught my students that most of the increase in
temperature of the past century was due to human contribution of CO2. The association
seemed so clear and simple. Increases of greenhouse gases were driving us towards a
climate catastrophe," Clark said in a 2005 documentary Climate Catastrophe Cancelled:
What You're Not Being Told About the Science of Climate Change. "However, a few years
ago, I decided to look more closely at the science and it astonished me. In fact there is no
evidence of humans being the cause. There is, however, overwhelming evidence of natural
causes such as changes in the output of the sun. This has completely reversed my views on
the Kyoto protocol," Clark explained. "Actually, many other leading climate researchers
also have serious concerns about the science underlying the [Kyoto] Protocol," he added.
Prominent scientist Professor Dr. Nils-Axel Morner, a leading world authority on sea
levels and coastal erosion who headed the Department of Paleogeophysics &
Geodynamics at Stockholm University, declared in 2007 "the rapid rise in sea levels
predicted by computer models simply cannot happen." Morner called a September 23, 2007
AP article predicting dire sea level rise "propaganda." "The AP article must be regarded as
an untenable horror scenario not based in observational facts," Morner wrote to EPW. "Sea
level will not rise by 1 m in 100 years. This is not even possible. Storm surges are in no
way intensified at a sea level rise. Sea level was not at all rising 'a third of a meter in the
last century': only some 10 cm from 1850 to 1940," he wrote. Morner previously noted on
August 6, 2007, "When we were coming out of the last ice age, huge ice sheets were
melting rapidly and the sea level rose at an average of one meter per century. If the
Greenland ice sheet stated to melt at the same rate - which is unlikely - sea level would rise
by less than 100 mm - 4 inches per century." Morner, who was president of the INQUA
Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution from 1999 to 2003, has
