Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics
Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research

Following the U.S. Senate's vote today on a global warming measure (see today's AP article: Senate Defeats Climate Change Measure,) it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics. The names included below are just a sampling of the prominent scientists who have spoken out recently to oppose former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, and the media driven ?consensus? on man-made global warming.

The list below is just the tip of the iceberg. A more detailed and comprehensive sampling of scientists who have only recently spoken out against climate hysteria will be forthcoming in a soon to be released U.S. Senate report. Please stay tuned to this website, as this new government report is set to redefine the current climate debate.

Skeptics? Or no way to forecast the future?

Over the years I have read how the human body has changed like height. We can live just fine without tonsils, an appendix, or even a spleen. There have been opinions expressed that these might eventually disappear over millions of years,

Those, and also those re: global warming, are just that, opinions/theories. No one can predict with absolute certainty far, far into the future.

Yes, I am one of those who opines that what we do to impact this earth will have an effect on it. I find that reasonable.

I do find the debate to be interesting, but at this point in time I do not find it reasonable that absolute certainty is possible.

I have no doubt....

That man's existence and activities contribute to global warming but I don't believe it to be a primary cause. I do believe the existence of life itself, and an ever growing population, will contribute to warming. Anyone that doesn't believe this can compare the temperatures of standing in a small room by themself vs standing in that room packed wall to wall with people. Of course, the only way to curb this effect is population control and I'd wager that most don't want to go there....
