"Ten years ago I simply parroted what the IPCC told us. One day I started checking the facts and data – first I started with a sense of doubt but then I became outraged when I discovered that much of what the IPCC and the media were telling us was sheer nonsense and was not even supported by any scientific facts and measurements. To this day I still feel shame that as a scientist I made presentations of their science without first checking it. The CO2-climate hysteria in Germany is propagated by people who are in it for lots of money, attention and power.
.......scientifically it is sheer absurdity to think we can get a nice climate by turning a CO2 adjustment knob"
-Klaus Eckart-Puls, Physicist & Meteorologist and former IPCC contributor
"I cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process I view as both being motivated by preconceived agendas and being scientifically unsound. I have decided to no longer participate in the IPCC AR4.”
-Dr. Christopher Landsea, NOAA research meteorologist, in his letter of resignation from the IPCC
"Atmospheric physics is quite clear that increasing CO2 concentrations increases temperature. The best way to demonstrate this is to model the temperature of the atmosphere with all CO2 removed. It is very cold. Then, increase CO2 by small increments and plot the graph of temperature increase. It is very rapid initially and then flattens out. Doubling CO2 from today’s concentration, holding all other parameters constant, has a “negligible” effect."
-John Bluemle, North Dakota State Climatologist
"CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or another… Every scientist knows this, but it doesn’t pay to say so…. Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver’s seat and developing nations walking barefoot."
-Dr. Takeda Kunihiko, Institute of Science and Technology Research, Chubu University, Japan
"If you go around the globe, your find no (sea level) rise anywhere. But they need the rise, because if there is not rise, there is no death threat."
-Nils-Axel Morner, former head of the paleogeophysics and geodynamics department at Stockholm University
"In 1995, I published a short paper in the academic journal Science. In that study, I reviewed how borehole temperature data recorded a warming of about one degree Celsius in North America over the last 100 to 150 years. The week the article appeared, I was contacted by a reporter for National Public Radio. He offered to interview me, but only if I would state that the warming was due to human activity. When I refused to do so, he hung up on me. I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, ‘We have got to get rid of the Medieval Warm period.’”
-Dr. David Deming, University of Oklahoma, before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Dec. 6, 2006
"It is worth bearing in mind that there is no actual evidence that carbon dioxide was the main cause of recent warming- it’s only an assumption, and the calculations of future temperature rises derive most of their warming from an assumed water vapor feedback for which there is only counter evidence."
-Dr. David Evans, mathematician and engineer, who worked at Australian Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005
"The answer has much to do with misunderstanding the science of climate, plus a willingness to debase climate science into a triangle of alarmism. Ambiguous scientific statements about climate are hyped by those with a vested interest in alarm, thus raising the political stakes for policymakers who provide funds for more science research to feed more alarm to increase the political stakes. Indeed, the success of scientific alarmism can be counted in the increased federal spending on climate research from a few million dollars pre-1990 to $1.7 billion (per year) today. Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks, or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis.”
-Dr. Richard Lindzen, former professor of mathematics, University of Chicago and Harvard University, “Climate of Fear,” April 12, 2006
"The paucity of information in the IPCC reports was hardly surprising: not one of the lead authors had ever written a research paper on the subject! Moreover, two of the authors, both physicians, had spent their entire careers as environmental activists.
(The real problem is that) the Intergovernmental Panel (on Climate Change) is precisely that- it is a panel among governments. It is the governments of the world who make up the IPCC, define its remit, and direction. The way in which this is done is defined in the IPCC Principles and Procedures, which have been agreed by governments”
-Paul Reiter, Professor of medical entomology, Pasteur Institute in Paris (who resigned from IPCC)
"The full spectrum of spatial and temporal scales exhibited by the climate system will not be resolvable by models for decades, if ever."
-Dr. Paul Williams, University of Readings Center for Global Atmospheric Modeling
"I don’t want to undermine the IPCC, but the forecasts, especially for regional climate change, are immensely uncertain."
-Tim Palmer, leading climate modeler at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
"The data doesn’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations on the data. We’re basing them on the climate models."
-Professor Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research
"The models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful."
-Dr. David Frame, climate modeler at Oxford University
"A public relations campaign of staggering proportions is being carried forward to convince us that global warming is man-made and a crisis. The historic evidence, however, shows us two similar warming periods in the recent past: the Medieval Warming (950-1300 AD) and the Roman Warming (200 BC to 600 AD). Ice cores dug up from Greenland and the Antarctic show there have been 600 such cycles over the past one million years- all of them moderate.”
-Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery, Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years (2007)
"Sophisticated climate models have been running for twenty years now. It has become evident that these models cannot be made to agree on anything except a possible relation between greenhouse gases and a slight increase in globally averaged temperatures…We should stop our support for the preoccupation with greenhouse gases our politicians indulge in. Global energy policy is their business, not ours. We should not allow politicians to use fake doomsday projections as a cover-up for their real intentions.”
-Dr. H. Tennekes, Professor of Meteorology, “A Personal Call for Modesty, Integrity, and Balance,” Climate Science, 2007
"We’re talking here of mathematical models whose results have consequences costing billions of dollars and involve the responsibility of all the governments of the world. It is necessary to bring these basic themes back to the scientific laboratories where they belong, talking them away from the hands of those who use them to satisfy ambitions that have nothing to do with scientific truth."
-Dr. Antonio Zichichi, professor of Advanced Physics at the University of Bologna.
"(Warming fears are) the worst scientific scandal in history…. When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists."
-UN IPCC Japanese scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, chemist
