Yet Another Petition by Climate Scientists to Ignore the Global Warming Activists

I take particular delight in poking fun at the often repeated claim by Al Gore and his minions that the issue of anthropogenic global warming is not in question and that “the science is settled.”

A common misunderstanding amongst the general public, mainstream media and politicians is that only a small proportion of experts in the climate science community have serious problems with the concept of a carbon dioxide-driven climate crisis. In reality, thousands of climate experts are highly skeptical of this hypothesis.

This fact has been repeatedly demonstrated through open letters, petitions and other declarations.  However, these documents have not had sufficient impact on government policy largely because mainstream media have generally ignored them and so only a minority of the public is aware of their existence.

The following petition was provided by Tom Harris, Executive Director, International Climate Science Coalition.

The Climate Scientists’ Register

“We, the undersigned, having assessed the relevant scientific evidence, do not find convincing support for the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide are causing, or will in the foreseeable future cause, dangerous global warming.”

More Scientists Admitting that Anthropogenic Global Warming is a Fraud

I got so many emails about the list of scientists I posted who are skeptical of AGW that I decided to print another list.  This is is actually an open letter that was written to the UN Secretary General signed by 141scientists engaged in climate research.  Note that many of the scientists were reviewers for the IPCC (their opinions on the science were ignored).  Of course, this letter proves nothing except that Al Gore’s often repeated statement that “the science is settled” is demonstrably false.  In fact, as this letter states, there is NO empirical evience that the human race is doing anything to the world’s climate.

                                                            Open Letter to Secretary-General of United Nations

His Excellency Ban Ki Moon

Secretary-General, United Nations

New York, NY

United States of America

8 December 2009

Dear Secretary-General,

Climate change science is in a period of ‘negative discovery’ – the more we learn about this exceptionally complex and rapidly evolving field the more we realize how little we know. Truly, the science is NOT settled.

Therefore, there is no sound reason to impose expensive and restrictive public policy decisions on the peoples of the Earth without first providing convincing evidence that human activities are causing dangerous climate change beyond that resulting from natural causes. Before any precipitate action is taken, we must have solid observational data demonstrating that recent changes in climate differ substantially from changes observed in the past and are well in excess of normal variations caused by solar cycles, ocean currents, changes in the Earth’s orbital parameters and other natural phenomena.

We the undersigned, being qualified in climate-related scientific disciplines, challenge the UNFCCC and supporters of the United Nations Climate Change Conference to produce convincing OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE for their claims of dangerous human-caused global warming and other changes in climate. Projections of possible future scenarios from unproven computer models of climate are not acceptable substitutes for real world data obtained through unbiased and rigorous scientific investigation.

Specifically, we challenge supporters of the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused climate change to demonstrate that:

1.  Variations in global climate in the last hundred years are significantly outside the natural range experienced in previous centuries;

2.  Humanity’s emissions of carbon dioxide and other ‘greenhouse gases’ (GHG) are having a dangerous impact on global climate;

3.  Computer-based models can meaningfully replicate the impact of all of the natural factors that may significantly influence climate;

4.  Sea levels are rising dangerously at a rate that has accelerated with increasing human GHG emissions, thereby threatening small islands and coastal communities;

5.  The incidence of malaria is increasing due to recent climate changes;

6.  Human society and natural ecosystems cannot adapt to foreseeable climate change as they have done in the past;

7.  Worldwide glacier retreat, and sea ice melting in Polar Regions , is unusual and related to increases in human GHG emissions;

8.  Polar bears and other Arctic and Antarctic wildlife are unable to adapt to anticipated local climate change effects, independent of the causes of those changes;

9.  Hurricanes, other tropical cyclones and associated extreme weather events are increasing in severity and frequency;

10.  Data recorded by ground-based stations are a reliable indicator of surface temperature trends.

It is not the responsibility of ‘climate realist’ scientists to prove that dangerous human-caused climate change is not happening. Rather, it is those who propose that it is, and promote the allocation of massive investments to solve the supposed ‘problem’, who have the obligation to convincingly demonstrate that recent climate change is not of mostly natural origin and, if we do nothing, catastrophic change will ensue. To date, this they have utterly failed to do so.
