Global Warming Presentation

Slide 1: The great global warming trial. Will you be an alarmist or a skeptic?

Slide 2: GLOBAL WARMING ALARM!

Slide 3: Global warming is a natural phenomenon, and there is nothing realistic that mankind can do to significantly change the global temperature.

Slide 4:  An established belief thought to be authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted or diverged from.  Examples include:  Judaism, Christianity and Islam  Belief that 9/11 was a conspiracy  Beat Army!  Global warming

Slide 5:  There is no discussion, no alternative science, or no weather experts that advocates of man made climate change creating imminent peril for the planet will listen to. ”The debate is over!”

Slide 6: The media The schools  The politicians  The organizations  Demonizing the unbelievers  An Inconvenient Truth

Slide 7: When asked why his 60 Minutes does not include the views of global warming skeptics:  “It would be difficult to find a scientist worth his salt who would suggest this wasn't happening. It would probably be someone whose grant has been funded by someone who finds reducing fossil fuel emissions detrimental to their own interests. There comes a point in journalism where striving for balance becomes irresponsible."  60 Minutes reporter Scott Pelley,

Slide 8: Media Research Center

Slide 9:  “Polar bears starting to turn up drowned and at some point will become extinct due to global warming.”  Time magazine

Slide 10: “The world population of polar bears has mushroomed from 5,000 in the 1960s to about 25,000 today. The 2 of the 20 subgroups that are declining live in regions in which the temperatures have been dropping over the past 50 years. The 18 subgroups that have seen an increase live in areas that have been getting warmer. It’s just silly to predict the demise of polar bears based on media-assisted hysteria. The future of polar bears is secure.”  Dr. Mitchell Taylor, Polar Bear Biologist, Department of the Environment, Government of Nunavut , Igloolik , Nunavut , Canada  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”Clearly, any warming that has occurred has not had an adverse impact on polar bear numbers. This is true of the polar bear populations in Alaska, Canada, Russia, and other nations.” Alaska Department of Fish and Game

Slide 11:  The New York Times reported Dec, 23, 2007 “As Earth Warms Up, Tropical Virus Moves to Italy. This is a real issue. Now, today. It is not something a crazy environmentalist is warning about.”  The New York Times did not report:  “Italy’s tropical virus is a result of modern transportation, not global warming.”  Professor Paul Reiter Director of the Insects and Infectious Diseases Unit of the Institute Pasteur, Paris.

Slide 12:  -

Slide 13: Humans are heating the earth. Devastation if we don’t change the way we live.  Polar caps will melt  Ocean levels will rise.  Droughts, floods, and chaos. Malaria will kill many people. Extinction of plants and animals.

Slide 14: “Human-caused global warming is a certainty.”

Slide 15:  General Electric will spend $1.5 billion a year to research the emission of greenhouse gases. United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, National Association of Evangelicals and National Council of Churches, declare: "Global warming is a universal moral challenge,"

Slide 16:  October 2007 Newsletter summarized a recent lecture, “The Climate Crisis: Answer the Call”. Invited members to individually work in promoting public awareness.  Repeated these words from the lecture: preserve our planet for our children catastrophic floods disappearing glaciers 2005 was the hottest year to date less than 10 years to stabilize the situation

Slide 17:  Greenland’s Warming Island  “If global warming needed a poster child, here it is.”  Dennis Schmitt, 2005 discoverer of Warming Island and tour operator with Betchart Expeditions. 

Slide 18:  “‘Climate change denier’ – is used to mark out certain people as immoral, untrustworthy. It is deeply pejorative. It is a phrase designedly reminiscent of the idea of Holocaust denial.”  Richard D North, author of Rich is Beautiful: A Very Personal Defense of Mass Affluence

Slide 19:  “Scientist who dissent from the alarmist have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse.  There are peculiar standards in place in scientific journals for articles submitted by those who raise questions about accepted climate wisdom. At Science and Nature, such papers are commonly refused without review as being without interest.”  Young scientists today who dare to stray from the alarmist dogma of man-made global warming often have to choose between silence through intimidation or jeopardizing their employment.  Only the most senior scientists today can withstand up against the alarmist gale and defy the climate scientist, advocates and policymakers.”  Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Soan Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT

Slide 20:  “We should have war crimes trials for these bastards -- some sort of climate Nuremberg.” David Roberts, staff writer for Grist journal

Slide 21:  “Intellectually Exhilarating! An Inconvenient Truth is a necessary film”  A.O. Scott, New York Times “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it” Upton Sinclair “What changed in the US with Hurricane Katrina is we entered a period of consequences.” Al Gore

Slide 22:  “You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.”  Roger Ebert, movie critic

Slide 23:  Examining the science  1. Man made CO2 causes it.  2. Computer models predict it will get much worse.

Slide 24: “It is the scientific basis for the whole anxiety we have about climate change caused by human beings." carbon dioxide graph by Robert Simmon, NASA temperature graph from NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies

Slide 25: United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

Slide 26:  “Skepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin.”  Thomas Huxley, 19th century English biologist.

Slide 27:  Were the temperature change which has taken place during the 20th and 21st centuries to occur in this room during my talk, most of the people in this room would be unaware of it.  How can a one degree F increase in temperature since the late 19th century possibly gain public acceptance as the source of recent weather catastrophes? And how can it translate into claims about future catastrophes? Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Soan Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT

Slide 28:  US surface temperatures have increased about 0.5 degrees C (0.9 degrees F) per century.  Highest temperature in history was 136 degrees F in Libya, 1922  Lowest temperature in history was -128 degrees F in Antarctica, 1983  Max to min was 264 degrees F  US National Climatic Data Center 100 C = 212 F

Slide 29:  The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show no overall change since 1999.  That makes no sense by the hypothesis of global warming driven mainly by CO2, because the amount of CO2 in the air has gone on increasing.” Nigel Calder, editor of New Scientist Journal

Slide 33: “So great are the magnitudes of these reservoirs, the rates of exchange between them, and the uncertainties of the estimated quantities that the sources of the recent rise in atmospheric CO2 have not been determined with certainty.” T.V. Segalstad, University of Oslo, Norway

Slide 34:  How does CO2 effect temperature? “The journey to the answer is immensely complex and no one can say absolutely what the effect is. The greenhouse effect amplifies solar warming of the earth. Greenhouse gases such as H2O, CO2, and CH4 in the Earth’s atmosphere, through combined convective readjustments and the radiative blanketing effect, essentially decrease the net escape of terrestrial thermal infrared radiation. Increasing CO2, therefore, effectively increases radiative energy input to the Earth’s atmosphere. The path of this radiative input is complex. It is redistributed, both vertically and horizontally, by various physical processes, including advection, convection, and diffusion in the atmosphere and ocean. When an increase in CO2 increases the radiative input to the atmosphere, how and in which direction does the atmosphere respond?  The IPCC uses a worst-case-scenario hypothesis. Their theory projects a dramatic temperature increase. Skeptics use experimental evidence with real world data. They conclude that while CO2 has increased substantially, its effect on temperature has not been experimentally detected.” Roy Spencer, Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA ‘s Marshall Space Flight Center

Slide 35:  Cloudiness varies according to how many atomic particles are coming in from exploded stars. More cosmic rays, more clouds. The sun’s magnetic field bats away many of the cosmic rays, and its intensification during the 20th century meant fewer cosmic rays, fewer clouds, and a warmer world.  Demonstrated the theory in his laboratory in 2006. Henrik Svensmark , Director of Danish National Space Center

Slide 36:  If the atmosphere’s CO2 content doubled, its effect would be cancelled out if the cloud cover expanded by 1%.  H. E. Landsberg Director of the Taunus Observatory of Geophysics and Meteorology, University of Frankfurt, Germany "All calculations about the greenhouse effect and global warming assume cloud cover isn't changing. But the Danish scientists have demonstrated cloud cover does change. The question of cloud cover, is the most critical unanswered question in the entire global warming debate.”  Richard Muller, University of California, Berkeley

Slide 40: “Climate models have yet to produce reliable results. An analysis of 22 climate models found their predictions at odds with actual warming over the past 30 years.” David H. Douglass, Climate scientist, University of Rochester  "The blind adherence to the harebrained idea that climate models can generate 'realistic' simulations of climate is the principal reason why I remain a climate skeptic.  Hendrik Tennekes, Director of Research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute  “Models used by the IPCC are incoherent and invalid.”  Antonio Zichichi, President of the World Federation of Scientists

Slide 41:  When discrepancies arise, observations should carry greater weight than theory. Therefore, the multitude of empirical observations favors celestial phenomena over the IPCC theoretical model. Jan Veizer, University of Ottawa “

Slide 42:  “The Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly” Dr Sami Solanki, director of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany

Slide 43:  “Some parts of Jupiter are now as much as six degrees Celsius warmer than just a few years ago.” Imke de Pater and Philip Marcus of University of California, Berkeley

Slide 44:  Carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions “A simultaneous rising in temperature on both Mars and Earth suggest that climate change is indeed a natural phenomenon as opposed to being man- made. Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia

Slide 45:  "At least since 1989, Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, has been undergoing a period of global warming," Astronomer James Elliot, professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Slide 46:  Storms on Saturn indicate a climate change occurring on that planet. NASA

Slide 52:  An open letter to the United Nations Secretary-General. December 18, 2007. ( “Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity’s real and pressing problems.” Endorsed by more than 100 prominent international scientists such as:  Dr. Antonio Zichichi, President of the World Federation of Scientists  Dr. Reid Bryson, dubbed the "Father of Meteorology“, University Of Wisconsin

Slide 53:  "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere.“ Signed by over 19,000 American scientists.

Slide 54:  Global warming is a false myth, and every serious person and scientist says so. The United Nations panel IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment.”  “Other top-level politicians do not express their global warming doubts because a whip of political correctness strangles their voice”  President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus

Slide 55:  “ Politicians and journalists show a regrettable ignorance about how science works.”   "Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by stifling any scientist who disagrees.”  “Einstein could not have got funding under the present system.”  Nigel Calder, author of Einstein’s Universe and former editor of New Scientist

Slide 56: “IPCC has changed the nature of scientific investigation  from: Observation---interpretation---conclusion to: Idea---modeling to prove the idea---lobbying to endorse the scenario”  Nils-Axel Morner, President International Commission on Sea-Level Changes and Coastal Evolution, Stockholm University, Sweden

Slide 57: ALARMISTS SAY SKEPTIC SAYS  Antarctica represents the greatest “Due to natural currents” threat to the globe from global Antarctic, ice is growing, not warming, bar none. shrinking. That makes Antarctica a sink, not a source, of ocean water. Duncan Wingham, Director of the Centre for Polar Observation , London

Slide 59: ALARMIST SAY SKEPTICS SAY  “Global warming may raise the oceans 23  “IPCC predicts one foot“ feet, submerging cities from Sidney to New York.” Jonathan Gregory, climate scientist at the University of Reading in England “I am a sea-level specialist. There are many good sea-level people in the world, but let’s put it this way: There’s no one who’s beaten me.” “The rise rate is not more than  4.3 inches per century”  Nils-Axel Morner, President International Commission on Sea-Level Changes Stockholm University, Sweden

Slide 60:  “It is vital that the international community base its policies on science rather than the dogma of the environmentalist movement.” Pope Benedict XVI

Slide 61:  An England court ruled it is “alarmists and exaggerated”.  scientific errors - Claims Polar bears died from global warming. Whereby the evidence is that only 4 bears downed because of a storm. - Suggests Sea level would rise 20 feet in the near future. Whereby evidence is that that could occur only over thousands of years. - Contrary to the film, there is no evidence melting snow on Mount Kilimanjaro is melting because of global warming - Claims Antarctic ice is melting. Evidence is that it is increasing. - Suggests Hurricane Katrina is related to global warming. Evidence is that is not possible.

Slide 62:  “Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth is One-Sided (26), Misleading (15) , ,Exaggerated (8), Speculative (26), and Wrong (18) ”.

Slide 63:  Gore emphasized heat-related deaths.  By 2050, heat will claim 400,000 more lives, but 1.8 million fewer will die because of cold. Global warming will actually save lives.  Bjorn Lomborg, Danish statistician

Slide 64:  "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention.“  Bob Carter, Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, Australia

Slide 66:  " There is no dispute at all about the fact that even if punctiliously observed, the Kyoto Protocol would have an imperceptible effect on future temperatures.” Dr. S. Fred Singer, atmospheric physicist, University of Virginia, former director of the US Weather Satellite Service

Slide 67:  “It is alleged that global warming will cause heat deaths, increase the sea level, make hurricanes more intense, increase flooding, give rise to more malaria, starvation and poverty. And don’t forget about the polar bears. The problem with this analysis is that it overlooks a simple but important fact. Cutting CO2 - even substantially - will not matter much with any of the above problems.”  Bjorn Lomborg Danish statistician and author

Slide 68:  “If the entire world were to adopt a 43-mpg fuel economy standard, the net effect would reduce projected warming an amount so minuscule as to be undetectable.”  Dr. John R. Christy, Director, Earth System Science Center, National Space Science and Technology Center, Huntsville, Alabama “The total de-industrialization of the United States might not be enough” FreedomWorks “There is no known, feasible policy that can stop or even slow climate changes." Patrick J. Michaels , Research professor of environmental studies at the University of Virginia. Pat Michaels may be the most popular lecturer in the nation on the subject of global warming.

Slide 70: Congressional Budget Office report of April 25, 2007 informs:  1. Lieberman-McCain bill imposes more than $3,500 on families each year.  2. Most of the cost would be borne by consumers, through higher prices for products such as electricity and gasoline. Those price increases would be regressive in that poorer households would bear the largest burden.  3. Kyoto proponents concede that it would have virtually no impact on the climate.

Slide 71:  “Port Commissioners of Washington State, solely on the basis of Gore’s claims, are proposing to increase the height of the sea-walls by 20 feet. Real economic and environmental harm is now being caused “ Christopher Monckton Sweden to Study Belching Cows. Associated Press, January, 21, 2008

Slide 72:  Thanks to global warming, German sun worshippers may enjoy a cocktail on a Baltic Sea beach in early May. Olaf Stamp, German journalist

Slide 73:  Arthur B. Robinson, Ph.D., Noah E. Robinson, Ph.D., Willie Soon, Ph.D.

Slide 74:  “Preserving the environment  Conserving energy  Providing for clean air and water  Developing alternative forms of power  Reducing our dependence on oil  Each stands on it’s own benefits. Let us join together to make them happen.  While parts of fighting global warming have benefits that overlap these, let us not delude ourselves into believing we can change the world’s temperature.” Dennis Bussey, cow milking champion

Slide 75:  All the planets have experienced global warming, and the earth is no longer warming.  Consensus of scientists is a myth. Many reputable scientists believe mankind is not causing global warming.  There is nothing realistic that mankind can do to significantly change the global temperature. Fighting global warming would have a huge price and virtually no impact.

Slide 76:  "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.“  Nobel Prize winning French novelist Andre Gide

Slide 78:  “Al Gores movie was justly praised as a proper representation of the science of global warming.”  Q1: What about all the planets that are experiencing global warming?  A1: It’s a coincidence  Q2: How can we have global warming if the earth hasn’t warmed for the last 8 years?  A2: That’s a tough one. The satellite data was fine when it indicated the earth was warming. My theory is the satellite machinery has been broken the last 8 years.

Slide 79:  Q3: From UCSD student. I want to save the planet, but how can I get excited about immediately doubling the price of gas as you say is necessary?  A3: President Kennedy inspired the nation to go to the moon. In our youths we marched on campuses and stopped the war in Vietnam. It is now your turn to take a stand.  The older generation cannot be trusted. You, the youth, must take the initiative to save the world.  Q4: Why has global warming become political?  A4: Democrats are serious about science and are genuinely concerned about doing good.  Conversely, Republicans are greedy and corrupted by big business and the fossil fuel industry.

Slide 80:  A 5% CO2 change correlates with a one degree Celsius temperature rise as 650,000-year ice core records reveal.  From 1900 to 2006, the world CO2 increased 30%.  Alarmist theory is that CO2 is driving up the temperature at a linear rate.  5% x 6 = 30% CO2 increase  1 degree C x 6 = 6 degree C temperature increase In fact the increase was .5 degrees C between 1900 and 2006.  “650,000-years of empirical evidence therefore invalidates the hypothesis of human-caused global warming.”  David Schneider, National Center for Atmospheric Research

Slide 81:  U.S. Average Household Energy Consumption: Annual household electricity use: 10,660 kwh / household Annual household emissions: 22,880 pounds CO2 / year Car emissions factor: 11,500 pounds CO2 / car / year  Sources: Census Bureau, Energy Information Administration, Environmental Protection Agency

Slide 82:  "There has been a real climate change over the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries that can be attributed to natural phenomena. Natural variability of the climate system has been underestimated by IPCC and has, to now, dominated human influences." William Kininmonth, meteorologist, former Australian delegate to World Meteorological Organization Commission for Climatology  “Carbon dioxide actually follows climate change rather than drives it“.  "There is new work that shows we can have a very close correlation between the temperatures of the Earth and supernova and solar radiation.”   . Ian Plimer, The University of Adelaide  “There is every doubt whether any global warming at all is occurring at the moment, let alone human-caused warming. geologist, Robert M. Carter, researcher at the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook in Australia

Slide 83:  Climate scientist Luc Debontridder of the Belgium Weather Institute’s Royal Meteorological Institute:  "CO2 is not the big bogeyman of climate change and global warming. “Not CO2, but water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas. It is responsible for at least 75 % of the greenhouse effect. This is a simple scientific fact, but Al Gore's movie has hyped CO2 so much that nobody seems to take note of it.”

Slide 84:  Chief Meteorologist Eugenio Hackbart of the MetSul Meteorological Weather Center  “The media is promoting an unprecedented hyping related to global warming.  The media and many scientists are ignoring very important facts that point to a natural variation in the climate system as the cause of the recent global warming,”

Slide 85:  The argument that human CO2 being added to the atmosphere is the cause just simply doesn't hold up. Furthermore, the global temperature trends now indicate a cooling.“ Timothy F. Ball, Professor of Geography, University of Winnipeg  "That portion of the scientific community that attributes climate warming to CO2 relies on the hypothesis that increasing CO2, which is in fact a minor greenhouse gas, triggers a much larger water vapor response to warm the atmosphere. This mechanism has never been tested scientifically beyond the mathematical models.”  Ian Clark, hydro geologist, professor, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa Global warming is the biggest scientific hoax being perpetrated on humanity. There is no global warming due to human anthropogenic activities. The Cretaceous period was the warmest on earth. You could have grown tomatoes at the North Pole“ Tad Murty, oceanographer, University of Ottawa  There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature. In fact, when “ CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years. Tim Patterson, climatologist and Professor of Geology, Carleton University, Canada

Slide 86:  IPCC 2007 Expert Reviewer Madhav Khandekar, a PhD meteorologist, a scientist with the Natural Resources Stewardship Project who has over 45 years experience in climatology, meteorology and oceanography, and who has published nearly 100 papers, reports, book reviews and a book on Ocean Wave Analysis and Modeling:  “To my dismay, IPCC authors ignored all my comments and suggestions for major changes in the FOD (First Order Draft) and sent me the SOD (Second Order Draft) with essentially the same text as the FOD. None of the authors of the chapter bothered to directly communicate with me on many issues that were raised in my review. This is not an acceptable scientific review process.” 

Slide 87:  Czech-born climatologist Dr. George Kukla:  “The only thing to worry about is the damage that can be done by worrying. Why are some scientists worried? Perhaps because they feel that to stop worrying may mean to stop being paid.”

Slide 88:  “Cosmic rays have more effect on the climate than manmade CO2. During the last 100 years cosmic rays became scarcer because unusually vigorous action by the Sun batted away many of them. Fewer cosmic rays meant fewer clouds--and a warmer world.” “Global temperature has not risen since 1999.” Henrik Svensmark, director of the Centre for Sun-Climate Research, at the Danish Space Research Institute Center

Slide 89:  Sadly, the idea of a sustainable climate is an oxymoron. The fact that we have rediscovered climate change at the turn of the Millennium tells us more about ourselves, and about our devices and desires, than about climate. Opponents of global warming are often snidely referred to as 'climate change deniers'; precisely the opposite is true. Those who question the myth of global warming are passionate believers in climate change - it is the global warmers who deny that climate change is the norm.“Philip Stott, professor emeritus, University of London  Dr. Richard Courtney, a UN IPCC expert reviewer and a UK-based climate and atmospheric science consultant: “To date, no convincing evidence for AGW (anthropogenic global warming) has been discovered. And recent global climate behavior is not consistent with AGW model predictions.”

Slide 90:  Dr. Boris Winterhalter, Senior Marine Researcher of the Geological Survey of Finland:  “The effect of solar winds on cosmic radiation has just recently been established and, furthermore, there seems to be a good correlation between cloudiness and variations in the intensity of cosmic radiation. Here we have a mechanism which is a far better explanation to variations in global climate than the attempts by IPCC to blame it all on anthropogenic input of greenhouse gases."

Slide 91:  Climatologist Dr. Marcel Leroux, Director of the Laboratory of Climatology, Risks, and Environment in Lyon    “Day after day, the same mantra - that ‘the Earth is warming up’ - is churned out in all its forms. As ‘the ice melts’ and ‘sea level rises,’ the Apocalypse looms ever nearer! Without realizing it, or perhaps without wishing to, the average citizen in bamboozled, lobotomized, lulled into mindless acceptance. ... Non-believers in the greenhouse scenario are in the position of those long ago who doubted the existence of God ... fortunately for them, the Inquisition is no longer with us!”

Slide 92:  Paleoclimate expert Augusto Mangini of the University of Heidelberg in Germany:  “I consider the part of the IPCC report, which I can really judge as an expert, i.e. the reconstruction of the paleoclimate, wrong,”  

Slide 93:  B.P. Radhakrishna, President of the Geological Society of India:  “We appear to be overplaying this global warming issue as global warming is nothing new. It has happened in the past, not once but several times, giving rise to glacial-interglacial cycles.”

Slide 94:  Dr. Antonio Zichichi, President of the World Federation of Scientists who has published over 800 scientific papers:  “Significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming."

Slide 95:  Dr. Nathan Paldor, Professor of Dynamical Meteorology and Physical Oceanography at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem:  “Temperature changes, as well as rates of temperature changes (both increase and decrease) of magnitudes similar to that reported by IPCC to have occurred since the Industrial revolution have occurred in Earth's climatic history. There's nothing special about the recent rise!”

Slide 96:  Atmospheric scientist Dr. Hendrik Tennekes, former director of research at The Netherlands' Royal National Meteorological Institute  “I find the Doomsday picture Al Gore is painting entirely without merit,”  “I protest vigorously the idea that the climate reacts like a home heating system to a changed setting of the thermostat: just turn the dial, and the desired temperature will soon be reached."

Slide 97:  "The two main 'scientific' claims of the IPCC are the claim that 'the globe is warming' and 'Increases in carbon dioxide emissions are responsible'. Evidence for both of these claims is fatally flawed.”  The main purpose of the IPCC ‘Summary for Policymakers’ report is to provide a spurious scientific backup for the absurd claims of the worldwide environmentalist lobby that it has been established scientifically that increases in carbon dioxide are harmful to the climate. It just does not matter that this ain't so.” Gray has called for the IPCC to be abolished, claiming it is "fundamentally corrupt”  Vincent R.

It is all a fiction.”
