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

University of Alaska) in the last part of the book. He sincerely advises us‚ ‗When people
come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists,‘ and says,
‗IPCC should make appropriate comments before G8.‘ I sincerely think he is correct,‖ Itoh
wrote. Itoh concludes his book with six points: ―1. The global temperature will not increase
rapidly if at all. There is sufficient time to think about future energy and social systems. 2.
The climate system is more robust than conventionally claimed. For instance, the Gulf
Stream will not stop due to fresh water inflow. 3. There are many factors that cause the
climate changes, particularly in regional and local scales. Considering only greenhouse
gases is nonsense and harmful. 4. A comprehensive climate convention is necessary. The
framework-protocol formulism is too old to apply to modern international issues. 5.
Reconsider countermeasures for the climate changes. For instance, to reduce Asian Brown
Cloud through financial and technical aid of developed countries is beneficial from many
aspects, and can become a Win-Win policy. 6. The policy makers should be ‗Four-ball
jugglers.‘ Multiple viewpoints are inevitable to realize sustainable societies.‖ (LINK)
Dr. Fred W. Decker, Professor of Meteorology at Oregon State University, signed the
2008 Oregon Petition dissenting from man-made climate fears. "There is no convincing
scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse
gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's
atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific
evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects
upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth,‖ the petition that Decker
signed states. Decker also challenged temperature data. ―One day the Gazette-Times told of
a minimum temperature about 15 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas the radio station at the
Marys River bridge into Avery Park reported much colder, a ‗minus‘ reading, which agreed
with home thermometers of some readers. Inquiring about locations, I learned the ‗official‘
minimum came from the shelter atop the steam-heated agricultural building on campus.
Moreover, the professor moved the instruments to the greenhouses to the west in the
summers when he worked there. What poor practice!‖ Decker wrote on June 22, 2008. ―I
appealed to the agricultural dean upon learning of the imminent retirement of the professor
responsible. I suggested a site near the KOAC towers if possible. The compromise site at
Hyslop got selected, and Wheeler Calhoun‘s data got quoted daily in the Gazette-Times,‖

Soil scientist and geologist Viv Forbes, the chairman of Australian based “The
Carbon Sense Coalition,” dissented from man-made climate fears. ―There is no evidence
that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is driving surface temperature, and there is plenty of
evidence to show that current levels of temperature and carbon dioxide are neither extreme
nor of concern,‖ Forbes wrote on July 1, 2007. ―Even if the water vapor and carbon dioxide
produced by man did cause some slight warming of the earth, is this a problem? Eons of
geological history show that a warm, moist, carbon-rich atmosphere encourages all life on
earth. These periods are referred to as ‗Golden Ages‘. The cold barren periods are those to
be feared – they get called ‗The Dark Ages‘,‖ Forbes explained. ―It is unbelievable that
many in politics and the media are whipping up public hysteria about ‗global warming‘
when the best evidence suggests that for the 100 years ending in the year 2000, the century
of coal, steel, electricity, the internal combustion engine, jet planes, two world wars and a
population explosion, the average surface temperature rose by only 0.6 deg, and there has
been NO increase in temperature since 1998. In many areas, surface temperatures have
