Nearly 400 respectable scientists have recently spoken out against the so called “consensus” about the theory that mankind is responsible for global warming.

- Day by day, the same story about the earth heating up appears in many shapes and forms. Whilst the polar ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising, the apocalypse is getting nearer. Those who do not believe in the greenhouse effect are in the position of those who doubted the existence of God long ago.

Luckily, the inquisitions are not carried out anymore – says the French climatologist dr. Marcel Leroux, a former professor at the Jean Moulin University, and director of the laboratory for climatology, risk and the environment in Lyon.

Scientists, of which many are current and former participants of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), explained their views in detail, on the report from the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

The number of climate sceptics are increasing

The fact is, that in the deafening media campaign against global warming, there is a debate about that very complex and scientifically very unclear question. However, even the respectable media have started to pay attention to sceptical scientists. In October, the Washington Post noticed how the “climate sceptics” movement was increasingly expanding. Even many scientists that are ecologically sensitive believe that the green movement used the fear of climate change for their promotion.

This senate report contains a list of scientists, the country in which they live in, and academic affiliation. It also contains citations by them, their biography and internet links to their studies.

Scientists from prestige universities and scientific institutions are in question, in cluding those from Harvard, NASA, MIT, Danish National Space Center, Princeton and others.

The scientists are experts from various fields such as climatology, oceanography, geology, chemistry, mathematics, ecological sciences, engineering, physics, and paleoclimatology. Some of them share the Nobel Prize as participants of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that they received together with Al Gore. This report’s aim is to open the debate about an issue that represents a rare consensus amongst the world population, that united the world leaders at the recent signing of the agreement on climate change in Bali.

Scientists afraid of speaking out about doubts

Sceptic scientists claim that numerous colleagues share their views about climate change, but are afraid of speaking out in public about them.

- Many of my colleagues that I have spoken to share this stance, and inform me about the impossibility of them publishing their scepticism in scientific or public media – said dr. Nathan Paldor. Paldor is an atmospheric scientist and a professor of dynamic meteorology and physical oceanography at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and is the author of more than 70 scientific studies.

Some of the stances of the scientists in the report:

- I consider the picture of judgement day, as Al Gore portrays it with a six-metre rise in sea levels, 15 times more than the IPCC predicts, totally without measure. I am strongly protesting against the though that the climate is acting like some system of heating controlled by a thermostat: just press a button and you will reach the desired temperature – says the atmospheric scientist dr. Hendrik Tennekes, from the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute.

- It seems that we are exaggerating this issue of global warming as if it were something new. It has happened during history, not once but many times, thanks to glacial and interglacial cycles – says the leading Indian geologist B.P. Radhakrishna.

- Al Gore has returned me into the battle, and forced me to research climatology again. Dur to all of the disinformation that Gore and his army are spreading about climate change, I have decided that real climatologists have to help the public understand the nature of the problem – said the American climatologist Robert Durrenberger.

This scientific statement is directly in contradiction with the UN report about how mankind is responsible for more than 90 percent of the climate changes. Whilst many have declared 2007 as the year of climatic awareness, it seems that scientists could start the first real debate on the issue that has united the world public to an unseen level.
