Climatologist Dr. David R. Legates, the Delaware State Climatologist and the
Director, Center for Climatic Research at the University of Delaware, has authored or
coauthored 45 peer-reviewed scientific studies. Legates also expressed climate
skepticism in 2007. "Scientific debate continues regarding the extent to which human
activities contribute to global warming and what the potential impact on the environment
might be. Importantly, much of the scientific evidence contradicts assertions that
substantial global warming is likely to occur soon and that the predicted warming will harm
the Earth's biosphere," Legates wrote in a May 15, 2007 study entitled "Climate Science:
Climate Change and Its Impacts." "Sea levels have been rising - in fact, they have been
rising since the end of the last ice age 20,000 years ago - but there is no evidence of an
accelerating trend. The complexity of the climate and the limitations of data and computer
models mean projections of future climate change are unreliable at best. In sum, the science
does not support claims of drastic increases in global temperatures over the 21st century,
nor does it support claims of human influence on weather events and other secondary
effects of climate change," Legates concluded. Legates has also served as Coordinator of
the National Geographic sponsored Delaware Geographic Alliance and served as the
Associate Director for the NASA sponsored Delaware Space Grant Consortium. (LINK)
Legates has also clashed with the Governor of Delaware in 2007 because of the Governor
disagreed with his skeptical views on global warming. (LINK)
Meteorologists Andre and Sally Bernier of WJW-TV, in Cleveland, Ohio, both reject
climate fears. "As two degreed and seasoned meteorologists, we will not be selling our
snowblower anytime soon or tempted to try planting a palm tree in our front lawn," the
Berniers, who were formerly of The Weather Channel, wrote to EPW on May 21, 2007.
"There is simply far too little evidence to support entertaining the notion of anthropogenic
causes for any climate shift. The focus has been to unearth as much evidence as possible
all the while ignoring any evidence that is contrary to the theory the likes of which is far
too significant to cast off," the Berniers explained. "Additionally, to rely and act on
computer models which do not even come close to accurately capture the infinitely
complex climate system of Earth is nothing short of reckless and irresponsible," they
explained. "Thirty years ago headlines frightened everyone with an in imminent ice age.
We suspect that fifty years from now, real science will have cast off and forgotten these
claims similar to the realization that Galileo was right after all," the Berniers concluded.
