INTRODUCTION:
More than 1000 dissenting scientists (updates previous 700 scientist report) from around the globe have now challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 2010 320-page Climate Depot Special Report updated from 2007′s groundbreaking U.S. Senate Report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming consensus features the skeptical voices of over 1000 international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. This updated 2010 report includes a dramatic increase of over 300 additional (and growing) scientists and climate researchers since the last update in March 2009. This reports release coincides with the 2010 UN global warming summit being held in Cancun.
The more than 300 additional scientists added to this report since March 2009 (21 months ago), represents an average of nearly four skeptical scientists a week speaking out publicly. The well over 1000 dissenting scientists are almost 20 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.
The chorus of skeptical scientific voices grew louder in 2010 as the Climategate scandal which involved the upper echelon of UN IPCC scientists detonated upon on the international climate movement. I view Climategate as science fraud, pure and simple, said noted Princeton Physicist Dr. Robert Austin shortly after the scandal broke. Climategate prompted UN IPCC scientists to turn on each other. UN IPCC scientist Eduardo Zorita publicly declared that his Climategate colleagues Michael Mann and Phil Jones should be barred from the IPCC process They are not credible anymore. Zorita also noted how insular the IPCC science had become. By writing these lines I will just probably achieve that a few of my future studies will, again, not see the light of publication, Zorita wrote. A UN lead author Richard Tol lead author grew disillusioned with the IPCC and lamented that it had been captured and demanded that the Chair of IPCC and the Chairs of the IPCC Working Groups should be removed. Tol also publicly called for the suspension of IPCC Process in 2010 after being invited by the UN to participate as lead author again in the next IPCC Report.
Other UN scientists were more blunt. South African UN scientist declared the UN IPCC a worthless carcass and noted IPCC chair Pachauri is in disgrace. He also explained that the fraudulent science continues to be exposed. Alexander, a former member of the UN Scientific and Technical Committee on Natural Disasters harshly critiqued the UN. I was subjected to vilification tactics at the time. I persisted. Now, at long last, my persistence has been rewarded There is no believable evidence to support [the IPCC] claims. I rest my case! See: S. African UN Scientist Calls it! Climate change RIP: Cause of Death: No scientifically believable evidence Deliberate manipulation to suit political objectives [Also see: New Report: UN Scientists Speak Out On Global Warming -- As Skeptics!] Geologist Dr. Don Easterbrook, a professor of geology at Western Washington University, summed up the scandal on December 3, 2010: The corruption within the IPCC revealed by the Climategate scandal, the doctoring of data and the refusal to admit mistakes have so severely tainted the IPCC that it is no longer a credible agency.
Selected Highlights of the Updated 2010 Report featuring over 1000 international scientists dissenting from man-made climate fears:
Were not scientifically there yet. Despite what you may have heard in the media, there is nothing like a consensus of scientific opinion that this is a problem. Because there is natural variability in the weather, you cannot statistically know for another 150 years. UN IPCCs Tom Tripp, a member of the UN IPCC since 2004 and listed as one of the lead authors and serves as the Director of Technical Services & Development for U.S. Magnesium.
Any reasonable scientific analysis must conclude the basic theory wrong!! NASA Scientist Dr. Leonard Weinstein who worked 35 years at the NASA Langley Research Center and finished his career there as a Senior Research Scientist. Weinstein, is presently a Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace.
Please remain calm: The Earth will heal itself Climate is beyond our power to control Earth doesnt care about governments or their legislation. You cant find much actual global warming in present-day weather observations. Climate change is a matter of geologic time, something that the earth routinely does on its own without asking anyones permission or explaining itself. Nobel Prize-Winning Stanford University Physicist Dr. Robert B. Laughlin, who won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1998, and was formerly a research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
In essence, the jig is up. The whole thing is a fraud. And even the fraudsters that fudged data are admitting to temperature history that they used to say didnt happen Perhaps what has doomed the Climategate fraudsters the most was their brazenness in fudging the data Dr. Christopher J. Kobus, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Oakland University, specializes in alternative energy, thermal transport phenomena, two-phase flow and fluid and thermal energy systems.
The energy mankind generates is so small compared to that overall energy budget that it simply cannot affect the climate The planets climate is doing its own thing, but we cannot pinpoint significant trends in changes to it because it dates back millions of years while the study of it began only recently. We are children of the Sun; we simply lack data to draw the proper conclusions. Russian Scientist Dr. Anatoly Levitin, the head of geomagnetic variations laboratory at the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowave Propagation of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Hundreds of billion dollars have been wasted with the attempt of imposing a Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory that is not supported by physical world evidences AGW has been forcefully imposed by means of a barrage of scare stories and indoctrination that begins in the elementary school textbooks. Brazilian Geologist Geraldo Luís Lino, who authored the 2009 book The Global Warming Fraud: How a Natural Phenomenon Was Converted into a False World Emergency.
I am an environmentalist, but I must disagree with Mr. Gore Chemistry Professor Dr. Mary Mumper, the chair of the Chemistry Department at Frostburg State University in Maryland, during her presentation titled Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide and Global Warming, the Skeptics View.
I am ashamed of what climate science has become today, The science community is relying on an inadequate model to blame CO2 and innocent citizens for global warming in order to generate funding and to gain attention. If this is what science has become today, I, as a scientist, am ashamed Science is too important for our society to be misused in the way it has been done within the Climate Science Community. Swedish Climatologist Dr. Hans Jelbring,
Those who call themselves Green planet advocates should be arguing for a CO2- fertilized atmosphere, not a CO2-starved atmosphere Diversity increases when the planet was warm AND had high CO2 atmospheric content Al Gores personal behavior supports a green planet his enormous energy use with his 4 homes and his bizjet, does indeed help make the planet greener. Kudos, Al for doing your part to save the planet. Renowned engineer and aviation/space pioneer Burt Rutan, who was named 100 most influential people in the world, 2004″ by Time Magazine and Newsweek called him the man responsible for more innovations in modern aviation than any living engineer.
Global warming is the central tenet of this new belief system in much the same way that the Resurrection is the central tenet of Christianity. Al Gore has taken a role corresponding to that of St Paul in proselytizing the new faith My skepticism about AGW arises from the fact that as a physicist who has worked in closely related areas, I know how poor the underlying science is. In effect the scientific method has been abandoned in this field. Atmospheric Physicist Dr. John Reid, who worked with Australias CSIROs (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) Division of Oceanography and worked in surface gravity waves (ocean waves) research.
We maintain there is no reason whatsoever to worry about man-made climate change, because there is no evidence whatsoever that such a thing is happening. Greek Earth scientists Antonis Christofides and Nikos Mamassis of the National Technical University of Athens Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering.
There are clear cycles during which both temperature and salinity rise and fall. These cycles are related to solar activity In my opinion and that of our institute, the problems connected to the current stage of warming are being exaggerated. What we are dealing with is not a global warming of the atmosphere or of the oceans. Biologist Pavel Makarevich of the Biological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Because the greenhouse effect is temporary rather than permanent, predictions of significant global warming in the 21st century by IPCC are not supported by the data. Hebrew University Professor Dr. Michael Beenstock an honorary fellow with Institute for Economic Affairs who published a study challenging man-made global warming claims titled Polynomial Cointegration Tests of the Anthropogenic Theory of Global Warming.
The whole idea of anthropogenic global warming is completely unfounded. There appears to have been money gained by Michael Mann, Al Gore and UN IPCCs Rajendra Pachauri as a consequence of this deception, so its fraud. South African astrophysicist Hilton Ratcliffe, a member of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (ASSA) and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and a Fellow of the British Institute of Physics.

Background: Only 52 Scientists Participated in UN IPCC Summary
The notion of hundreds or thousands of UN scientists agreeing to a scientific statement does not hold up to scrutiny. (See report debunking consensus LINK) Recent research by Australian climate data analyst John McLean revealed that the IPCCs peer-review process for the Summary for Policymakers leaves much to be desired. (LINK) (LINK) (LINK) & (LINK) (Note: The 52 scientists who participated in the 2007 IPCC Summary for Policymakers had to adhere to the wishes of the UN political leaders and delegates in a process described as more closely resembling a political partys convention platform battle, not a scientific process LINK)
Proponents of man-made global warming like to note how the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) have issued statements endorsing the so-called consensus view that man is driving global warming. But both the NAS and AMS never allowed member scientists to directly vote on these climate statements. Essentially, only two dozen or so members on the governing boards of these institutions produced the consensus statements. This report gives a voice to the rank-and-file scientists who were shut out of the process. (LINK)
The NAS has come under fire for its lobbying practices. See: NAS Pres. Ralph Cicerone Turns Science Org. into political advocacy group: $6 million NAS study is used to lobby for global warming bill & Cicerones Shame: NAS Urges Carbon Tax, Becomes Advocacy Group political appointees heading politicized scientific institutions that are virtually 100% dependent on govt funding MITs Richard Lindzen harshly rebuked NAS president Cicerone in his Congressional testimony in November 2010. Lindzen testified: Cicerone [of NAS] is saying that regardless of evidence the answer is predetermined. If government wants carbon control, that is the answer that the Academies will provide. [ Also See: MIT Climate Scientist Exposes 'Corrupted Science' in Devastating Critique November 29, 2008 ]
While the scientists contained in this report hold a diverse range of views, they generally rally around several key points. 1) The Earth is currently well within natural climate variability. 2) Almost all climate fear is generated by unproven computer model predictions. 3) An abundance of peer-reviewed studies continue to debunk rising CO2 fears and, 4) Consensus has been manufactured for political, not scientific purposes.
Scientists caution that the key to remember is climate change is governed by hundreds of factors, or variables, not just CO2. UK Professor Emeritus of Biogeography Philip Stott of the University of London decried the notion that CO2 is the main climate driver. As I have said, over and over again, the fundamental point has always been this: climate change is governed by hundreds of factors, or variables, and the very idea that we can manage climate change predictably by understanding and manipulating at the margins one politically-selected factor is as misguided as it gets, Stott wrote in 2008. Even the climate activists at RealClimate.org let this fact slip out in a September 20, 2008 article. The actual temperature rise is an emergent property resulting from interactions among hundreds of factors, RealClimate.org admitted in a rare moment of candor.]

More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims
And ....what all of this is really about:
BREAKING NEWS! The abdication of the West the sting at Cancun ( Global Warming?????)
***********************************EXCERPT INTRO***************************************
— There are no economists who oppose the stimulus plan.
— There are no scientists who reject man-made global warming.
— There are no defense experts who oppose START.
Obama Democrats and their RINO enablers consistently show their totalitarian nature by making such statements in the face of clear and demonstrable evidence to the contrary.
World leaders approve new global climate package, fund (agree to rob 100 B from US taxpayers)
The world can’t afford the remedies the whacko’s are pushing. The USA has swung back from their inexplicable swing to the left. The climate gloom promotors have been caught cooking the books. And, actual conditions around the world, haven’t been cooperating with the hype.
He’s dead, Jim.
A belief in man made global warming has become one of the pillars of the post-modern Environmentalist faith; facts will simply be ignored.
Thanks Ernest.
grant jeffries’ recent program show his research of
32,000 climate employees (of which 9,000 have ph.d.’s)
are >against< global warming.
I think I liked this one best:

Legions of Anthropogenic Global Warming Skeptics

IT'S THE IDIOTS IN CONGRESS WHO CONTROL THE WHETHER....WHETHER HE GETS MONEY OR HE GETS MONEY.
This cannot be true. Global Warming was the first and only time since the Renaissance that science was “settled”. Al Gore told me so.
***************************************EXCERPT******************************************
John Blake says:
Aside from Briffa or the excrescent Michael Mann, post-1995 graduates in climate studies (sic) are conspicuous by their absence. PR types like la Papa may flaunt their doltish prejudices, but researchers under forty uniformly cower beneath Big Governments grant-sponsored desks.
Warmists have eaten their seed-corn, sacrificed an entire generation of contributors to AGW in bad faith under false pretenses. As time goes on, it will become ever more painfully obvious that as ever in such overweening Statist exercises a sad-sack Greshams Law fosters delusional incompetence in everything that peculating eco-fascists touch. As their bubble bursts, no-one remotely associated with Green Gang carbon offsets, mindless energy alternatives entailing willful sabotage of global coal, oil, nuclear energy economies, will ever muster credibility again.
Caught in a 70-year dead sun Maunder Minimum similar to that of 1645 1715, todays Iron Triangle of academic, bureaucratic, media elites will see Cancuns rent-seeking dreams dispelled by grim reality. Ten years from now half of em will be cabdrivers, the rest panhandlers or welfare parasites implanted like tapeworms on the dole.
Thinking of the latest from Vancouver...FR Thread:
World leaders approve new global climate package, fund (agree to rob 100 B from US taxpayers)
I am not familiar with grant jeffries at all....got some links?
sorry, i didn’t check the spelling before posting.
grant jeffrey is a canadian minister ph.d.
(who does thorough research btw)
on tbn. i believe the environmental show aired 12.08.10, last wednesday.
