U.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed ... - NJIAT

areas on the face of our planet have NOT yet been submerged by rising oceans... so
probably low-lying areas along shorelines of Canada and the USA will be SAFE into
foreseeable and even distant futures," Siitam wrote to EPW on September 22, 2007
regarding an AP article predicting dire sea level rise. "By the way, I'd be happy to buy
prized oceanfront properties at bargain prices, anywhere in the world, when unwarranted,
panic selling begins. The dire predictions will not come true this century," he added.

Meteorologist Grant Dade Texas TV's KLTV, a member of both the American
Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association, dismissed man-made
climate fears in 2007. "I think it is about time we see the other side of the Global
Warming debate come out," Dade said on November 8, 2007. "Is the Earth warming?
Yes, I think it is. But is man causing that? No. It's a simple climate cycle our climate goes
through over thousands of years." Dade critiqued the media for hyping climate fears
while ignoring inconvenient facts. "Did you hear about the Arctic ice melting? But you
didn't hear in Antarctica last winter was the most ice ever recorded," Dade said. "You
don't hear that," he added. (LINK) & Click to watch video: (LINK)
Dr. Art Robinson of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine declared his
climate skepticism in 2007. "Long-term temperature data suggest that the current -
entirely natural and not man made - temperature rise of about 0.5 degrees C per century
could continue for another 200 years. Therefore, the best data available leads to an
extrapolated value of about 1 foot of rise during the next two centuries," Robinson wrote
to EPW on September 23, 2007. "There is no scientific basis upon which to guess that the
rise will be less or will be more than this value. Such a long extrapolation over two
centuries is likely to be significantly in error - but it is the only extrapolation that can be
made with current data. There may be no sea level rise at all. No one knows," he added.

Canadian Geologist Albert F. Jacobs, co-founder of the group Friends of Science,
critiqued the Associated Press for hyping climate fears in 2007. "Basic to the IPCC case
for sea level rise and for the alarmists' hype is the hypothesis that increasing levels of
carbon dioxide will cause increasing amounts of global warming. It should be stressed
that this assumption of truth is no more than a hypothesis, which is increasingly being
attacked and on which any meaningful discussion has been thwarted by the IPCC's
political masters," Jacobs wrote to EPW on September 23, 2007. "As far as CO2 is
concerned, basic physics has always been clear about the limitations of higher
concentrations of gas to absorb equivalent amounts of heat radiation. ‘Doubling of CO2'
does none of the things the IPCC's computer says it does. And that's all separate from the
fact that water vapour is a much greater ‘greenhouse' driver than carbon dioxide in any
case," Jacobs added. (LINK)
Meteorologist Chuck Wiese lambasted "fancy computer models that can be
manipulated" and "are absolutely incorrect and fraudulent." Wiese called computer model
predictions of climate doom a "bunch of baloney." "The physics of this is in support of
anyone who is a skeptic. As I have said, C02 is of secondary importance; anything that
we did to reduce C02 emissions is going to make no change in my opinion that you could
really measure in the climate response at all, because other things are going on that just
