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

climate," Karlen wrote to EPW regarding the September 22, 2007 AP article predicting dire
sea level rise. "Newspapers should think about the damage they are doing to many persons,
particularly young kids, by spreading the exaggerated views of a human impact on
climate," Karlen explained. "I have used the NASA temperature data for a study of several
major areas. As far as I can see the IPCC "Global Temperature" is wrong. Temperature is
fluctuating but it is still most places cooler than in the 1930s and 1940s," Karlen wrote.
"The latest estimates of sea level rise are 1.31 mm/year. With this water level increase it
will take about 800 years before the water level has increased by 1 m if not conditions
change before that (very likely). Society will look very different at that time," he added.

Ecologist Dr. Patrick Moore, a Greenpeace founding member who left the
environmental organization because he believed it had become too radical, rejected
climate alarmism and lamented the efforts to silence climate skeptics. "It appears to be the
policy of the [UK] Royal Society to stifle dissent and silence anyone who may have doubts
about the connection between global warming and human activity. That kind or repression
seems more suited to the Inquisition than to a modern, respected scientific body," Moore,
the chief scientist for Greenspirit, wrote in a September 21, 2006 letter to the Royal Society
accusing it of attempting to silence skeptics. "I am sure the Royal Society is aware of the
difference between a hypothesis and a theory. It is clear the contention that human-induced
CO2 emissions and rising CO2 levels in the global atmosphere are the cause of the present
global warming trend is a hypothesis that has not yet been elevated to the level of a proven
theory. Causation has not been demonstrated in any conclusive way," Moore wrote.

Paavo Siitam, a retired professor of chemistry, agronomy, biology, and physics, and a
researcher in soils and microbiology, critiqued the Associated Press for hyping climate
fears in 2007. "Despite some doom and gloom predictions, excluding waves washing onto
shores by relatively rarely occurring tsunamis and storm-surges, low-lying areas on the face
of our planet have NOT yet been submerged by rising oceans... so probably low-lying areas
along shorelines of Canada and the USA will be SAFE into foreseeable and even distant
futures," Siitam wrote to EPW on September 22, 2007 regarding an AP article predicting
dire sea level rise. "By the way, I'd be happy to buy prized oceanfront properties at bargain
prices, anywhere in the world, when unwarranted, panic selling begins. The dire
predictions will not come true this century," he added. (LINK)
Meteorologist Grant Dade of Texas TV's KLTV, a member of both the American
Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association, dismissed man-made
climate fears in 2007. "I think it is about time we see the other side of the Global Warming
debate come out," Dade said on November 8, 2007. "Is the Earth warming? Yes, I think it
is. But is man causing that? No. It's a simple climate cycle our climate goes through over
thousands of years." Dade critiqued the media for hyping climate fears while ignoring
inconvenient facts. "Did you hear about the Arctic ice melting? But you didn't hear in
Antarctica last winter was the most ice ever recorded," Dade said. "You don't hear that,"
he added. (LINK) & Click to watch video: (LINK)
Dr. Art Robinson of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine declared his climate
skepticism in 2007. "Long-term temperature data suggest that the current - entirely natural
