Geologist Brian R. Pratt, a professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the
University of Saskatchewan in Canada, is an award-winning sedimentologist and
paleontologist who specializes in earth's environmental history in Deep Time. Pratt is
also a skeptic of climate change fears. "I have reviewed the observational evidence of
climate change which leads me to interpret climate fluctuations and weather patterns as
natural phenomena not caused by anthropogenic activities," Pratt told EPW on November
27, 2007. "I am very concerned that Earth's physical, chemical and biological processes are
being widely misunderstood by the public, by politicians and even by many scientists.
Consequently, ‗stopping' global warming has been adopted as a mission by people with the
power to cause severe economic harm and divert efforts away from more critical measures
involving conservation, population growth, poverty and so forth," he wrote. (LINK)
Climate Scientist Dr. S. Fred Singer, former director of the U.S. Weather Satellite
Service, past vice chairman of the U.S. National Advisory Committee on Oceans and
Atmosphere and global warming co-author of the 2006 book (LINK) Unstoppable
Global Warming: Every 1500 Years which details the solar-climate link using hundreds of
studies from peer reviewed literature and "shows the earth's temperatures following
variations in solar intensity through centuries of sunspot records, and finds cycles of sunlinked
isotopes in ice and tree rings." Singer explained on February 14, 2007, "Good
evidence confirms that current warming is mostly part of a natural climate cycle, most
likely driven by the sun. The available data show that the human contribution from
greenhouse gases is not detectable and must be insignificant. It is a non-problem. Trying to
mitigate a natural warming (or cooling) is futile and a big waste of money better spent on
real societal problems."
Chemist James Hammond, a councilor for the American Chemical Society's San
Gorgonio section, refuted man-made climate fears in 2007. "Data published during the
past few years show that all other life on Earth contributes 1,000 times as much greenhouse
gases as do people and all their activities," Hammond said at an American Chemical
Society meeting in Redlands, California, according to a November 16, 2007 article. The
article noted that Hammond explained that "all humans and human activity, from driving
cars to raising cattle, produce just 14 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions." The article
also explained that Hammond noted a single cow "emits about 1 1/3 tons of carbon dioxide
a year, while a human on average emits 1 ton - though it depends on a person's size and
diet." Hammond continued, "Reasonable sources of extra CO2 would be all other life on
Earth, including plants, animals and insects. As the Earth warmed, more food would grow,
so people and animal populations could grow, thereby increasing greenhouse gas
production. Dead and rotting plants, animals and people contribute carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, ammonia, sulfurous gases and others that add to greenhouse gases."
Hammond concluded, "CO2 is only one part of the problem. We're not looking at the
whole picture." (LINK)
