The Global Warming Chill

Is the hysteria over global warming losing momentum? Maybe. "Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics," says the headline on The U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works's web site. Posted on May 15, the subheader says, "Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research." Whew! This is gotta be a challenge to some people's worldview, especially those who have already swallowed Al Gore's entire PowerPoint presentation. The article on the Senate web site names prominent scientists, once advocates of the global warming scare, who are now skeptics warning us not to jump to conclusions. The site quotes them. One example: Botanist Dr. David Bellamy, a famed UK environmental campaigner, former lecturer at Durham University and host of a popular UK TV series on wildlife, recently converted into a skeptic after reviewing the science and now calls global warming fears "poppycock." According to a May 15, 2005 article in the UK Sunday Times, Bellamy said “global warming is largely a natural phenomenon. The world is wasting stupendous amounts of money on trying to fix something that can’t be fixed.” “The climate-change people have no proof for their claims. They have computer models which do not prove anything,” Bellamy added. Wow. Bellamy has, no doubt, already been labelled a know-nothing by the Goreans. The site continues: The media's climate fear factor seemingly grows louder even as the latest science grows less and less alarming by the day. Shocking! "Less alarming?" You mean, we don't have to lay awake at night anymore, losing sleep, as we worry about the coming global superstorm? MORE: 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.
