<strong>Global</strong> warming author and economist Dr. Thomas Gale Moore is a former professor<br />
at Michigan State University, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, and author of<br />
the book Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn't Worry about <strong>Global</strong> Warming. "I don't<br />
argue that we're having global warming, but I find the effects are going to be small," Moore<br />
said according to the September/October 2005 issue of Stanford Magazine. The article<br />
explained that Moore "insists that Americans in particular will benefit from a warmer<br />
climate in many ways, including longer growing seasons and reduced heating costs."<br />

Meteorologist Joseph Conklin launched a skeptical website called Climatepolice.com<br />
on February 25, 2007. "The goal of the website is to show the public that other research on<br />
climate change exists and the debate is not over," Conklin said. Conklin, who specializes in<br />
analysis of surface weather observations, also operates NiceWeather.com, a website<br />
specializing in monthly weather forecasts. "Scientific research should be apolitical.<br />
Extremist groups have promoted global warming as their primary political issue. I want<br />
this website to help correct that," Conklin added. (LINK) On August 10, 2007 Conklin<br />
wrote: ―A few months ago, a study came out that demonstrated global temperatures have<br />
leveled off. But instead of possibly admitting that this whole global warming thing is a<br />
farce, a group of British scientists concluded that the real global warming won‘t start until<br />
2009.‖ (LINK)<br />
Dr. David Wojick is a UN IPCC expert reviewer, who earned his PhD in Philosophy<br />
of Science and co-founded the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at<br />
Carnegie-Mellon University. "In point of fact, the hypothesis that solar variability and not<br />
human activity is warming the oceans goes a long way to explain the puzzling idea that the<br />
Earth's surface may be warming while the atmosphere is not. The GHG (greenhouse gas)<br />
hypothesis does not do this," Wojick, who specializes in mathematical logic, wrote in a<br />
May 2, 2005 commentary. "The public is not well served by this constant drumbeat of false<br />
alarms fed by computer models manipulated by advocates," he explained. (LINK)<br />
Oxford-educated economist Tony Gilland is the science and society director of the UK<br />
based Institute of Ideas. Gilland, who initiated the UK's Science Education Project,<br />
declared the debate about global warming far from over in 2007 and lamented the UN's<br />
politicization. "The UN's all-powerful climate change panel is no straightforward scientific<br />
body. It is a deeply political organization that was born out of disenchantment with<br />
progress," Gilland wrote in a June 28, 2007 essay. "The IPCC, an unelected body, holds an<br />
unprecedented influence on the lives of everyone on the planet - and any attempt to<br />
question this body's legitimacy or actions is shouted down as ‗denial' of the scientific<br />
facts," he explained. "It is striking how many in the scientific community have become<br />
extremely intolerant of dissent," Gilland added. "The way in which politicians, the media<br />
and civil society have come to hang on the latest pronouncements of the IPCC<br />
demonstrates how this political failure has allowed a scientific conceptualization of a<br />
political problem to become institutionalized across the globe, to the point where<br />
conceiving of it differently has become almost unimaginable," he concluded. (LINK)<br />
Analytical chemist Hans Schreuder who publishes the UK based website<br />
ILoveMyCarbonDioxide.com, rejected man-made global warming fears in 2007. "Any<br />
and all arguments put forward by the perceived consensus of scientists who still have their<br />
