The Deniers     
 
 

Attention Al Gore: the science is NOT settled

THE DENIERS—by a world famous environmentalist—highlights the brave scientists—all leaders in their fields—who demolish the conventional wisdom on global warming.

This changes the debate forever. The scientists profiled are too eminent and their research too devastating to allow simplistic views of global warming to survive.

Al Gore and his media allies claim the only scientists who dispute the alarmist view on global warming are corrupt crackpots and "deniers", comparable to neo-Nazis who deny the Holocaust.

Now internationally renowned environmentalist author Lawrence Solomon calmly and methodically debunks Gore's outrageous charges, showing in one 'headline' case after another that the scientists who dispute Gore's doomsday scenarios have far more credibility than those who support Gore's theories. These men who expose Gore's claims as absurd hold top positions at the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world. Their work is cited and acclaimed throughout the scientific community. No wonder Gore and his allies want to pretend they don't exist.

Lawrence Solomon is not only a journalist, but a longtime environmental activist. Solomon knew firsthand from his efforts in the battles over nuclear energy in the 1970s and 1980s that scientists with integrity can hold unconventional and unpopular views, despite the scorn heaped upon them by the establishment. He wondered if something similar wasn't happening in the case of those being tarred as global warming deniers. In his regular column in Canada's National Post, he began to tell their story.

In THE DENIERS he profiles some of the principal dissenters from global warming dogma-all recognized leaders in their fields, with many of them even active in the official body that oversees most of the world's climate-change research, the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

In the process, Solomon provides absorbing insight into both the scientific issues and the ferocious political and media battles that are being waged about global warming. The scientists he profiles are unflaggingly honest: many of them not only disagree profoundly with the global warming doomsayers, but with other scientists who are also profiled in this book. "Such disagreement," he says, "is the very stuff of science" - real science, not the debased and politicized Al Gore variety.

THE DENIERS also shows how these men have suffered for their integrity, how Gore and Co. have mounted an all-out campaign against them, portraying them as hacks bought off by profit-mad oil companies or as non-credentialed cranks and lunatics. On the contrary, Solomon writes, their impeccable credentials "are often far more impressive than those of some of the gurus propounding climate-change catastrophes."

In profiling these "deniers," Solomon does a valuable service in advancing honest debate and asking real questions about the most contentious issue of our times. Among the topics Solomon and his subjects cover:

  • The Medieval Warming Period - Gore & Co try to erase it because it proves recent warming is far from unprecedented. The world famous statistician who exposed their tactics under oath before Congress.
  • Gore and Co. claim "everyone knows" that current CO2 levels are extraordinarily high and dangerous. Meet the world-renowned expert on ancient ice who says current CO2 levels were common in the 19th century.
  • How the natural, cyclic increase in the earth's temperature may be causing increased levels of CO2 rather than the reverse. And the disasters we could be facing if temperatures begin falling and CO2 levels begin to fall with them.
  • The odd story of how the world's leading solar scientists became the bitter enemies of the global warming establishment.
  • Meet not one but several of the world's greatest scientists who declare the complex computer models at the heart of global warming alarmism to be incapable of producing a coherent scientific prediction.
  • How a much-cited and influential National Geographic article making the case for global warming relied on imaginary glaciers and ice sheets, not on the actual formations that exist in Greenland and Antarctica
  • Why the Kyoto Protocol and carbon tax and trade schemes are the greatest threat today to the global environment-and the poor of the third world.

Al Gore says any scientist who disagrees with him on Global Warming is a kook, or a crook. Guess he never met these guys:

Dr. Edward Wegman—former chairman of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics of the National Academy of Sciences—demolishes the famous "hockey stick" graph that launched the global warming panic.

Dr. David Bromwich—president of the International Commission on Polar Meteorology—says "it's hard to see a global warming signal from the mainland of Antarctica right now."

Prof. Paul Reiter—Chief of Insects and Infectious Diseases at the famed Pasteur Institute—says "no major scientist with any long record in this field" accepts Al Gore's claim that global warming spreads mosquito-borne diseases.

Prof. Hendrik Tennekes—director of research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute—states "there exists no sound theoretical framework for climate predictability studies" used for global warming forecasts.

Dr. Christopher Landsea—past chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones—says "there are no known scientific studies that show a conclusive physical link between global warming and observed hurricane frequency and intensity."

Dr. Antonino Zichichi—one of the world's foremost physicists, former president of the European Physical Society, who discovered nuclear antimatter—calls global warming models "incoherent and invalid."

Dr. Zbigniew Jaworowski—world-renowned expert on the ancient ice cores used in climate research—says the U.N. "based its global-warming hypothesis on arbitrary assumptions and these assumptions, it is now clear, are false."

Prof. Tom V. Segalstad—head of the Geological Museum, University of Oslo—says "most leading geologists" know the U.N.'s views "of Earth processes are implausible."

Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu—founding director of the International Arctic Research Center, twice named one of the "1,000 Most Cited Scientists," says much "Arctic warming during the last half of the last century is due to natural change."

Dr. Claude Allegre—member, U.S. National Academy of Sciences and French Academy of Science, he was among the first to sound the alarm on the dangers of global warming. His view now: "The cause of this climate change is unknown."

Dr. Richard Lindzen—Professor of Meteorology at M.I.T., member, the National Research Council Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, says global warming alarmists "are trumpeting catastrophes that couldn't happen even if the models were right."

Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov—head of the space research laboratory of the Russian Academy of Science's Pulkovo Observatory and of the International Space Station's Astrometria project says "the common view that man's industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect relations."

Dr. Richard Tol—Principal researcher at the Institute for Environmental Studies at Vrije Universiteit, and Adjunct Professor at the Center for Integrated Study of the Human Dimensions of Global Change, at Carnegie Mellon University, calls the most influential global warming report of all time "preposterous . . . alarmist and incompetent."

Dr. Sami Solanki—director and scientific member at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, who argues that changes in the Sun's state, not human activity, may be the principal cause of global warming: "The sun has been at its strongest over the past 60 years and may now be affecting global temperatures."

Prof. Freeman Dyson—one of the world's most eminent physicists says the models used to justify global warming alarmism are "full of fudge factors" and "do not begin to describe the real world."

Dr. Eigils Friis-Christensen—director of the Danish National Space Centre, vice-president of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, who argues that changes in the Sun's behavior could account for most of the warming attributed by the UN to man-made CO2.

And many more, all in Lawrence Solomon's devastating book, The Deniers.
