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

Physicist Dr. Freeman Dyson, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Institute for
Advanced Study, in Princeton, is a fellow of the American Physical Society, a member
of the US National Academy of Sciences, and a fellow of the Royal Society of London.
Dyson called himself a "heretic" on global warming. "Concerning the climate models, I
know enough of the details to be sure that they are unreliable. They are full of fudge factors
that are fitted to the existing climate, so the models more or less agree with the observed
data. But there is no reason to believe that the same fudge factors would give the right
behavior in a world with different chemistry, for example in a world with increased CO2 in
the atmosphere.," Dyson said in an April 10, 2007 interview. Dyson is also a fellow of the
American Physical Society, a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, and a
fellow of the Royal Society of London. (LINK) "The fuss about global warming is grossly
exaggerated," Dyson also wrote in his 2007 book "Many Colored Glass: Reflections on the
Place of Life in the Universe." Dyson focuses on debunking climate models predictions of
climate doom: "They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in. The real world
is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand. It is much easier for a
scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on
winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds.
That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models."
Paleoclimate scientist Dr. Bob Carter of Australia's James Cook University and
former chairman of the earth science panel of the Australian Research Council, who
has published numerous peer-reviewed papers, discredited the UN IPCC. "Many
distinguished scientists refuse to participate in the IPCC process, and others have resigned
from it, because in the end the advice that the panel provides to governments is political
and not scientific. Although at least -$50 billion has been spent on climate research, the
science arguments for a dangerous human influence on global warming have, if anything,
become weaker since the establishment of the IPCC in 1988," Carter wrote in an April 11,
2007 op-ed in the UK Telegraph. Carter, who has had over 100 papers published refereed
scientific journals, continued, "For more than 90 per cent of recent geological time, the
cores show that the earth has been colder than today. We modern humans are lucky to live
towards the end of the most recent of the intermittent, and welcome, warm interludes. It is a
10,000 year-long period called the Holo-cene, during which our civilizations have evolved
and flourished." "Similar cores through polar ice reveal, contrary to received wisdom, that
past temperature changes were followed - not preceded, but followed - by changes in the
atmospheric content of carbon dioxide. Yet the public now believes strongly that increasing
human carbon dioxide emissions will cause runaway warming; it is surely a strange cause
of climate change that naturally postdates its supposed effect?" he added. "So the evidence
for dangerous global warming forced by human carbon dioxide emissions is extremely
weak. That the satellite temperature record shows no substantial warming since 1978, and
that even the ground-based thermometer statistic records no warming since 1998, indicates
that a key line of circumstantial evidence for human-caused change (the parallel rise in the
late 20th century of both atmospheric carbon dioxide and surface temperature) is now
negated," Carter concluded. (LINK) Carter also wrote a June 18, 2007 op-ed detailing even
more skepticism on climate fears. "Lower atmosphere satellite-based temperature
measurements, if corrected for non-greenhouse influences such as El Niño events and large
volcanic eruptions, show little if any global warming since 1979, a period over which
atmospheric CO2 has increased by 55 ppm (17 per cent)," Carter wrote. "There are strong
