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

warming. "At the moment, we really have insufficient empirical evidence to conclude that
is true," he added. (LINK)
Chemist Frank Britton rejected man-made climate fears in 2007. "CO2 makes a very
small contribution to the Earth's temperature. It is only 0.039 percent of the atmosphere.
Nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and argon comprise more than 99 percent of the
atmosphere. Furthermore, carbon dioxide is not a particularly effective greenhouse gas. Out
of the wide spectrum of radiation received from the sun, CO2 only absorbs energy from
three very narrow levels," Britton wrote in a July 28, 2007 article in the Pasadena Star
titled "Global Warming is Nature's Doing." "Many people believe there is a difference
between man-made CO2 and natural CO2. There is no difference. Carbon dioxide is
comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. CO2 is a natural, vital part of
biological life. Ants, termites and decaying foliage account for the formation of most of the
CO2. There are more than a quadrillion ants and termites," Britton explained. "Globalwarming
activists believe mankind is altering the Earth's temperature. Although many
know that man's contribution is negligible, it is not to their political advantage to reveal this
fact. Climate scientists receive funding from the government to research causes of and
solutions to man-made global warming. If the current warming were demonstrated to be the
natural cycle, this funding would be cut," he added. "Carbon dioxide's contribution to
global warming is minimal; water vapor is the great buffer for the Earth's temperature; the
oceans control this process. Human beings have no measurable control over global
temperatures," he concluded. (LINK)
Dr. John Brignell is a UK Emeritus Engineering Promfessor at the University of
Southampton who held the Chair in Industrial Instrumentation at Southampton and
was awarded the Callendar Silver Medal by InstMC. He also served on a committee
of the Institute of Physics and currently publishes the website
http://www.numberwatch.co.uk/ with the mission to expose "scares, scams, junk, panics
and flummery cooked up by the media, politicians, bureaucrats and so-called scientists and
others that try to confuse the public with wrong numbers." His motto is "Working to
Combat Math Hysteria." "Global warming is a new phenomenon in human affairs. Not
only is it now a major religion, but it has an associated industrial complex of a wealth
sufficient to give it unheard of political power throughout the world. It presides over a
virtual monopoly of research funding," Brignell wrote in July 2007. (LINK) "Clearly,
global warming is anthropogenic (man-made). It exists mainly in the human mind and is
manufactured from two sources - careless data acquisition and dubious data processing,"
Brignell wrote. In November 2007, Brignell, who wrote a book entitled Sorry, Wrong
Number: The Abuse of Measurement, compiled a list of over 600 things allegedly caused
by global warming. To see the full list with weblinks to the source, see here: (LINK)
Retired Air Force atmospheric scientist Dr. Edward F Blick, Professor of
Meteorology and Engineering at University of Oklahoma, rejected man-made climate
fears in 2007. "Is their any solid evidence the earth is warming due to man's use of fossil
fuels transferring excessive amounts of CO2 in our atmosphere? The answer is NO!" Blick
wrote on June 17, 2007 in an article titled "The Religions of Global Warming." "The
amount of CO2 that man puts into the atmosphere each year is about 3 billion tons per year.
But this is insignificant compared to the 39,000 billion tons in our oceans, 2,200 billion
tons in our vegetation and soils, and 750 billion tons in our atmosphere. Much of the CO2
