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

Group 1 report) is to enable them to make any ‗necessary' adjustments to the technical
report to match the policy summary. Unbelievable. Can you imagine what securities
commissions would say if business promoters issued a big promotion and then the
promoters made the ‗necessary' adjustments to the qualifying reports and financial
statements so that they matched the promotion. Words fail me," McIntyre explained

A Panel of Broadcast Meteorologists Rejected Man-Made Global Warming Fears in
2007 - Claimed 95% of TV Meteorologists Skeptical. "You tell me you're going to
predict climate change based on 100 years of data for a rock that's 6 billion years old?"
Meteorologist Mark Johnson said. Johnson dismissed the 2007 UN IPCC summary for
policymakers, "Consensus does not mean fact. ... Don't drink the Kool-Aid." Meteorologist
Mark Nolan said, "I'm not sure which is more arrogant - to say we caused [global
warming] or that we can fix it." Johnson and Nolan were joined on the panel by fellow
Ohio meteorologists Dan Webster, Dick Goddard, and John Loufman in dismissing
fears of global warming, according to Crain's Cleveland publication on February 13, 2007.
"Mr. Webster observed that in his dealings with meteorologists nationwide, ‗about 95%'
share his skepticism about global warming," the paper reported. Goddard noted that
scientists have flip-flopped on climate issues before. "I have a file an inch thick from 30
years ago that says the planet was cooling," Goddard explained. Webster jokingly
referenced former Vice President Gore. "Where's Al Gore now? You can bet he's not in
New York, where they've got nearly 12 feet of snow right now," Webster joked to the
crowd of several hundred.
Polar expert Ivan Frolov, the head of Russia's Science and Research Institute of
Arctic and Antarctic Regions, said atmospheric temperature would have to much higher
to make continental glaciers melt. "Many hundred years or 20-30 degree temperature rise
would have made glaciers melt," Frolov said in a December 14, 2006 Russian news article.
(LINK) Frolov noted that currently Greenland's and Antarctic glaciers have the tendency to
grow. The article explained, "Frolov says cooling and warming periods are common for
our planet - temperature fluctuations amounted to 10-12 degrees. However, such
fluctuations haven't caused glaciers to melt. Thus, we shouldn't be afraid they melt today."
Atmospheric scientist Dr. William R. Cotton of the Department of Atmospheric
Science at Colorado State University, an internationally respected expert in the
aerosol effects on weather and climate, called claims that man-made global warming was
causing any recent abnormal weather an "abuse of limited scientific knowledge." Cotton,
who has been extensively cited in the peer reviewed literature, rejected global warming
alarmism on October 17, 2006 in Climate Science. "Climate variability has been with Earth
for eons. Greenhouse warming is only one factor affecting climate change. There are many
other factors some associated with human activity, many not, and not all processes
associated with climate variability have been quantitatively identified," Cotton said.
"Therefore I am skeptical about claims of forecasts of what the climate will be like in say,
5, 10 years or more. I also view claims that a few years of abnormal weather (like intense
hurricane landfalls, severe storms and floods, and droughts) to be caused by human activity
as abuse of limited scientific knowledge." (LINK)
