Out of the entire atmospheric makeup, only one to two percent is made up of greenhouse gases with the majority being nitrogen (about 78 percent) and oxygen (about 21 percent). Of that two percent, “planet-killing” carbon dioxide comprises only 3.62 percent while water vapor encompasses 95 percent. And of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, humans cause only 3.4 percent of annual CO2 emissions. What does this all boil down to? As shown by the accompanying graph, not very much.....

Estimated 40 Percent of Scientists Doubt Manmade Global Warming
Press_Release
January 03, 2011
PRINCETON, NJ (January 3, 2011)—S. Fred Singer said in an interview with the National Association of Scholars (NAS) that “the number of skeptical qualified scientists has been growing steadily; I would guess it is about 40% now.”

Singer, a leading scientific skeptic of anthropocentric global warming (AGW), is an atmospheric physicist, and founder of the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), an organization that began challenging the published findings of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the 1990s. SEPP established the Leipzig Declaration, a statement of dissent from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol that has been signed by over one hundred scientists and meteorologists.

Asked what he would like to see happen in regard to public opinion and policy on climate change, Singer replied,

I would like to see the public look upon global warming as just another scientific controversy and oppose any public policies until the major issues are settled, such as the cause. If mostly natural, as NIPCC concludes, then the public policies currently discussed are pointless, hugely expensive, and wasteful of resources that could better be applied to real societal problems.

NIPCC is the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change, another group established by Singer. In 2009 NIPCC published Climate Change Reconsidered,an 880-page report on scientific research that contradicts the models of man-made global warming. Singer believes that global warming exists but that human contributions to it are minimal. In the interview Singer said he believed his efforts in the last twenty years had been successful in disproving the notion that “the science is settled.”

Singer continues his work in the sciences, focusing lately on geophysical research and the Earth’s atmosphere. He is professor emeritus of environmental science at the University of Virginia, and he was the founding Dean of the School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences at the University of Miami (1964-1967) and the Director of the Center for Atmospheric and Space Physics University of Maryland (1953-1962).

The National Association of Scholars does not take a position on global warming but advocates for a full discussion of all sides of the controversy.To learn more about NAS, visit www.nas.org.

Pertinent climate change quotes.
President Eisenhower.

"Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract virtually becomes a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nations scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money, is ever present, and is gravely to be regarded. Yet in giving scientific discovery and research the respect that we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger, that public policy could itself become a captive of a scientific and technological elite."
Dr Ottmar Endenhofer IPCC co-chair of working group 3

"We (the IPCC) redistribute de facto the worlds wealth using climate policy...""One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with climate policy anymore..."
realclimate.com

There is a whole area of climate so called science which is glassy eyed and they chant like a cult.....it's like Hare Krishna or something like that. It will potentially harm the image of all science.
Physicist Professor William Happer. Princeton University.

Bill Nye said that HIGW deniers "should be jailed as war criminals."
Geology Professor Emeritus Don Easterbrook. submission to Washington State Senate Committee on Climate Change.

"There was a period of cooling from 1880 to 1915, from 1915 to 1945 the climate warmed, and then it cooled again from 1945 to 1977. Then it warmed again from 1977 to 1999. And since 1999 it has cooled again, not a lot, but slightly."
"Snowfall will be a rare and exciting event" East Anglia Climatic Research Unit.

In 2007, the Union for Concerned Scientists warned that "snow would be an issue for skiing areas in the future." That very winter set records for snow, coast to coast, only to be exceeded by 2008 and 2010/11.

headlines. 2014-2015

"Heaviest snowfall in a century hits Moscow."

Anchorage, Alaska set all time snowfall record."

"Chinese snow/cold has trains stopped in their tracks"

"Heaviest snowfalls in China in six decades. The unusually harsh winter weather has also caused coal shortages, forcing provinces to cut power supplies."

"Britain faces power shortages due to deep freeze."
97% of climate scientists agree with HIGW analysis

"A graduate student in Indiana or Illinois, sent out 10,257 questionares to climate scientists. He got 3,146 back. Of those, he selected 77 or 79, I am not quite sure of those numbers, that he handpicked out of those responses. And he asked those people "do you think that CO2 causes climate change? All but 2 said "yes.""
CLIMATEGATE

Email from Phil Jones to Michael Manne. "I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Michael (Trenberth) and I will keep them out somehow- even if we have to redefine what the peer review literature is."
Peter Lilley, British MP and Physicist.

"The day that the British parliament passed the British Climate Change Act, which is the most expensive piece of legislation we have ever passed, committing us to cut our emissions of CO2 by 80%, at the cost of some $400 billion pounds, it snowed in London in October, for the first time in 74 years."

NASA's James Hanson said that "Manhattan would be underwater by 2008.

AL Gore predicted that the Arctic would be ice free by 2013.

The much heralded "Paris Accord" by country.

China agreed to "a peaking of carbon emissions by 2030" ( Promised to increase emissions until 2030.)

India Pledged to "reduce the intensity of emmisions." (Promised to make their rising emissions more efficient.)

Pakistan. Promised to reach a peak at some point, after which they will reduce emissions.

Lawrence Journal-World. Sunday, March 11, 1979.

"One thing is indisputable, the world has been cooling off since WW2, something like 1 degree Fahrenheit. But that might be just a temporary swing in the climate.
Dr J. Murray Mitchell, of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, says that the world has been cooling off in the long run. On average, it has cooled down by something like 1 degree Fahrenheit or held a degree Celsius, and that cooling began about WW2.

Norways glaciers are in the process of becoming thicker again after 200 years of gradually melting down, according to Glaciologist Oleg Liestol.

International Team of Specialists Finds No End in Sight to 30 Year Cooling Trend in Northern Hemisphere.
CIA report. OPR-401 August 1974.

There is, moreover, a consensus among climate scientists that the Earth is undergoing a cooling trend.
Marty Feldman's weather report. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICE6l-5qTYE

Wanna know how it will be? I will tell ye. The heavens will open up, and blood will come raining down. And there will be plagues of frogs and locusts. And the earth will crack, and the seas will boil over. And nameless abominations will come crawling from the slimy depths. Thee will be storms, there will be sleet, and fire will engulf the old Earth. The rest of the day will be fine, except for afternoon showers.

And look at Korea who chairs the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

OK Brian.

A member of the government bureaucracy who is a member of the new and growing HIGW "the end is nigh" religious cult wrote an article which the present government sensibly ignored. What is wrong with that, Brian?
