greater cloudiness means a larger deflection of the solar radiation away from the surface of
our planet," he wrote. "The more intense the influx of cosmic rays, the more clouds.
Cosmic rays ionize air molecules, transforming them into condensation nuclei for water
vapor, where the ice crystals - from which clouds are created - are formed. The quantity of
cosmic rays impacting the atmosphere is controlled by changes in the so-called solar wind -
when the winds are stronger, they drive cosmic radiation away from the Earth, fewer
clouds are formed and the Earth becomes warmer," Miles explained. (LINK)
Engineer David Holland authored a November 2007 study titled "Bias and
Concealment in the IPCC Process: The „Hockey-Stick' Affair and its Implications"
which was published in the scientific journal Energy & Environment. Holland also
wrote a 2006 critique of the Stern Review for World Economics. Holland, who is a member
of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, critiqued modern climate science
methods and the UN IPCC process. "[Climate science] is by all measures as important a
field of research as medicine, and ought to operate to standards at least as high, but it does
not. On the contrary, it is steeped in bias, concealment and spin," Holland, wrote in his
November paper for Energy & Environment. "Strong and well-founded scientific
disagreement remains," he wrote. Holland took the IPCC to task. "The IPCC's governing
principles are interpreted loosely, for example the strong scientific and statistical
disagreements expressed by reviewers are not adequately, if at all, recorded in IPCC
reports. Unpublished papers supporting IPCC orthodoxy are included even though their
supporting data and methodology are not available. The use of non-disclosure agreements
runs entirely counter to the IPCC's role," he wrote. (LINK)
Meteorologist Morgan Palmer of Texas TV's KLTV, who holds Seals of
Approval from both the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the National
Weather Association (NWA), declared himself skeptical of man-made climate fears in
2007. "Any idea can become mainstream if you just hear one side of the argument," Palmer
said on November 8, 2007. Palmer called man-made warming a theory and accused
proponents of becoming political. "It is because of money," Palmer explained. "Folks that
are writing these papers that a lot of institutions are going after grant money, and grant
money is given by folks who might have very good intentions, but unfortunately the papers
that are being written are heavily weighed on man-made Global Warming," he added.

Berkeley University- and MIT-educated scientist Jeffrey P. Schaffer, now a professor
at the Department of Science & Mathematics at Napa Valley College in California,
questioned man-made climate fears in 2007. Gore's claims of a "20-foot sea level rise due
to rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet is far from reality," Schaffer wrote on
November 14, 2007 in an article titled "A Scientist's Take on Global Warming" in the Napa
Valley Register. "Beginning in 1986 I became seriously interested in global warming, and
learned that the sea level would rise about 20 feet very rapidly due to melting ice shelves
and sea ice. However, as any science-literate elementary school kid can tell you, when
floating ice melts, it contracts; there is no increase in volume, so no sea-level rise. After
about 10 years with this impending doom scenario, scientists dropped it. I suppose some
elementary school kid told them about the ‗floating ice cubes' class experiment," Schaffer
explained. Schaffer also detailed why he believes climate science has become politicized
and recommended the book State of Fear by Michael Crichton. Crichton "shows how
