Geologist William F. McClenney, a California Licensed Professional Geologist and
former Certified Environmental Auditor in Victoria, Australia, conducted extensive
climate research and wrote a detailed analysis announcing that he had reversed his
views about man-made global warming. McClenney now says he has done ―the math and
realized that you just can‘t get to global warming with CO2.‖ ―I believed [global warming
theory]. It made sense. I could see it easily and clearly. And that was a long, long time ago.
It seemed counterintuitive that anyone could or would not believe it. It was that seminal.
Homo Sapiens would cause the earth to warm, we now call it the Greenhouse Gas theory,
and it is now a law (at least in California),‖ explained. See: February 28, 2008, full
statement here. (Note: McClenney joins other scientists who recently converted from
believer to skeptic of man-made climate fears. (LINK)
Solar physicist Dr. Pal Brekke, a senior advisor to the Norwegian Space Centre in
Oslo, has published more than 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles on the sun and
solar interaction with the Earth and served as a referee for scientific journals. Brekke,
who was the deputy project scientist for the entire international Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and has a new book about the sun titled SolarMax,
rejected claims of a ―consensus‖ on global warming. ―It's possible that the sun plays an
even more central role in global warming than we have suspected. Anyone who claims that
the debate is over and the conclusions are firm has a fundamentally unscientific approach
to one of the most momentous issues of our time,‖ Brekke said on March 3, 2008. ―We
could find the temperature leveling off or actually falling in the course of a 50-year
period,‖ Brekke explained. "There is much evidence that the sun's high-activity cycle is
levelling off or abating. If it is true that the sun's activity is of great significance in
determining the earth's climate, this reduced solar activity could work in the opposite
direction to climate change caused by humans,‖ Brekke explained. The article continued,
―The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) has determined that the
earth's temperature has risen by about 0.7° C since 1901. According to Dr. Brekke, this
time period coincides not only with an increase in human-caused greenhouse gas
emissions, but also with a higher level of solar activity, which makes it complicated to
separate the effects of these two phenomena.‖ (LINK) (LINK) (LINK)
Biologist Dr. Matthew Cronin, a research professor at the School of Natural
Resources and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, called
predictions that future global warming would devastate polar bear populations ―one
extreme case hypothesis.‖ ―We don‘t know what the future ice conditions will be, as there
is apparently considerable uncertainty in the sea ice models regarding the timing and extent
of sea ice loss. Also, polar bear populations are generally healthy and have increased
worldwide over the last few decades,‖ Cronin said in March 2007. ―Recent declines in sea
ice and indications that polar bears in some areas may be negatively impacted are cause for
concern, but in my opinion do not warrant designation of the species as threatened with
extinction,‖ Cronin said. ―I believe that consideration of multiple hypotheses regarding the
future of sea ice and polar bear populations would provide better science than reliance on
one extreme case hypothesis of loss of sea ice and associated drastic declines in polar bear
populations,‖ Cronin said. (LINK) & (LINK)
