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

largest ocean in Earth is much colder than average and global climate starts to feel the
impacts of a moderate La Niña event that may reach the strong threshold," Aguiar
explained. "It will take some more years for ‗Mother Nature' to dismiss some or all of Gore
forecasts, but earlier predictions made by him are already proving to be an inconvenient
mistake," he concluded. (LINK) [Note: Amaral de Aguiar is not part of the count in this

Chief Meteorologist Karl Spring of Duluth, Minnesota, who is certified by both the
American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association, expressed
skepticism of former Vice President Al Gore's climate views. On the day Gore's Nobel
Prize was announced in October 2007, Spring declared on KUWS radio, "I wouldn't pay a
dime to see [An Inconvenient Truth] for many reasons." Spring then ridiculed Gore.
"Politically, he's a left-wing nut. And he does things for other agendas." He added that
Gore "takes facts and extrapolates them to such extremes," and he projects "a doomsday
scenario." Meteorologist Kyly Underwood joined Spring in dismissing Gore's scientific
opinions during on KUWS radio. "We need to be careful about where we get our
information on global warming, and this debate unfortunately is driven by politicians."

Chinese Scientists Say C02 Impact on Warming May Be „Excessively Exaggerated' -
Scientists Lin Zhen-Shan's and Sun Xian's 2007 study published in the peer-reviewed
journal Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics noted that "although the CO2 greenhouse
effect on global climate change is unsuspicious, it could have been excessively
exaggerated." Their study asserted that "it is high time to reconsider the trend of global
climate change." The study looked at "multi-scale analysis of global temperature changes"
and concluded "that ‗global climate will be cooling down in the next 20 years.'" The
scientists concluded that even if atmospheric CO2 were to stabilize, "the CO2 greenhouse
effect will be deficient in counterchecking the natural cooling of global climate in the
following 20 years." "The global climate warming is not solely affected by the CO2
greenhouse effect. The best example is temperature obviously cooling however
atmospheric CO2 concentration is ascending from 1940s to 1970s. Although the CO2
greenhouse effect on global climate changes is unsuspicious, it could have been excessively
exaggerated. It is high time to re-consider the global climate changes," Zhen-Shan and
Xian concluded. (LINK) & (LINK) & (LINK)
Physicist Dr. Henrik Svensmark released a report with his colleagues at the Danish
National Space Centre which shows that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low
cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere. "We have the highest solar
activity we have had in at least 1,000 years," Svensmark said in the February 11, 2007
article in the UK Telegraph. "Humans are having an effect on climate change, but by not
including the cosmic ray effect in models it means the results are inaccurate. The size of
man's impact may be much smaller and so the man-made change is happening slower than
predicted," Svensmark said. Svensmark published his finding on the influence that cosmic
rays have on cloud production in the Proceedings of the Royal Society Journal in late 2006
and he has a new 2007 book entitled The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change.
"It was long-thought that clouds were caused by climate change, but now we see that
climate change is driven by clouds," Svensmark said. In October 2007, Svensmark coauthored
another report from the Danish National Space Center Study concluding: ―The
