141 Scientists Sign Letter Questioning Anthropogenic Climate Change

[El Castor]

Sorry Al, it looks like the science is not settled after all.

"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.
