Nobel Prize-winning Physicist Dr. Ivar Giaever - Part 1

[AlleyCat]

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Ivar Giaever: He doesn't believe there's
much to global warming. "I agree with [President] Trump, absolutely," he said.
"It's fake news. You read the paper every week or two, and there's a story
about the ocean rising, the temperature is rising, but it's always 30 years
from now and not now. There's never anything now."

Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Who Endorsed Obama Now Says Prez. is
"Ridiculous" & "Dead Wrong" on "Global Warming'

Nobel Prize Winning Physicist Dr. Ivar Giaever: "Global warming is a non-
problem'

'I say this to Obama: Excuse me, Mr. President, but you're wrong. Dead wrong.'

'Global warming really has become a new religion.'

"I am worried very much about the [UN] conference in Paris in November... I
think that the people who are alarmist are in a very strong position.'

'We have to stop wasting huge, I mean huge amounts of money on global
warming.'

Dr. Ivar Giaever featured in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate
Change:

"The Earth has existed for maybe 4.5 billion years, and now the alarmists will
have us believe that because of the small rise in temperature for roughly 150
years (which, by the way, I believe you cannot really measure) we are doomed
unless we stop using fossil fuels. We are now forced to use corn-based ethanol
in our gas, subsidized windmills, and solar cells for energy; meanwhile, maybe
a billion people worldwide starve and have no access to electricity. You and I
breathe out at least thirty tons of CO2 in a normal life span, but
nevertheless the Environmental Protection Agency decided to classify rising
carbon-dioxide emissions as a hazard to human health." - -IVAR GIAEVER, Nobel
Laureate in physics

Giaever, a former professor at the School of Engineering and School of Science
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, received the 1973 physics Nobel for his work
on quantum tunneling. Giaever delivered his remarks at the 65th Nobel Laureate
Conference in Lindau, Germany, which drew 65 recipients of the prize. Giaever
is also featured in the new documentary "Climate Hustle", set for release in
Fall 2015.

Giaever was one of President Obama's key scientific supporters in 2008 when he
joined over 70 Nobel Science Laureates in endorsing Obama in an October 29,
2008 open letter. Giaever signed his name to the letter which read in part:
"The country urgently needs a visionary leader... We are convinced that
Senator Barack Obama is such a leader, and we urge you to join us in
supporting him."

But seven years after signing the letter, Giaever now mocks President Obama
for warning that "no challenge poses a greater threat to future generations
than climate change". Giaever called it a "ridiculous statement."

"That is what he said. That is a ridiculous statement," Giaever explained.

"I say this to Obama: Excuse me, Mr. President, but you're wrong. Dead
wrong," Giaever said. (Watch Giaever's full 30-minute July 1 speech here.)

"How can he say that? I think Obama is a clever person, but he gets bad
advice. Global warming is all wet," he added.

"Obama said last year that 2014 is hottest year ever. But it's not true. It's
not the hottest," Giaever noted. [Note: Other scientists have reversed
themselves on climate change. See:

global warming
]
The Nobel physicist questioned the basis for rising carbon dioxide fears.

"When you have a theory and the theory does not agree with the experiment then
you have to cut out the theory. You were wrong with the theory," Giaever
explained.

Global Warming "a new religion'

Giaever said his climate research was eye opening. "I was horrified by what I
found" after researching the issue in 2012, he noted.

"Global warming really has become a new religion. Because you cannot discuss
it. It's not proper. It is like the Catholic Church."

Concern Over "Successful" UN Climate Treaty

"I am worried very much about the [UN] conference in Paris in November. I
really worry about that. Because the [2009 UN] conference was in Copenhagen
and that almost became a disaster but nothing got decided. But now I think
that the people who are alarmist are in a very strong position," Giaever said.

"The facts are that in the last 100 years we have measured the temperatures it
has gone up .8 degrees and everything in the world has gotten better. So how
can they say it's going to get worse when we have the evidence? We live
longer, better health, and better everything. But if it goes up another .8
degrees we are going to die I guess," he noted.

"I would say that the global warming is basically a non-problem. Just leave it
alone and it will take care of itself. It is almost very hard for me to
understand why almost every government in Europe - except for Polish
government - is worried about global warming. It must be politics."

"So far we have left the world in better shape than when we arrived, and this
will continue with one exception - we have to stop wasting huge, I mean huge
amounts of money on global warming. We have to do that or that may take us
backwards. People think that is sustainable but it is not sustainable.

On Global Temperatures & CO2

Giaever noted that global temperatures have halted for the past 18 plus years.

standstill in temperatures at 8:48 min. into video.]
