Conventional Meteorologists Who Aren't Afraid to Challenge Human-induced Climate Change
"But think again. Tens of thousands American scientists don't agree that anthropogenic, or man-made, global warming is threatening society as we know it."
David Paul of KLFY-TV Lafayette, LA
Simply put, the mathematical correlation between an increase in atmospheric CO2 and temperature is very weak"
Herb Stevens of WLNE Providence, RI
Is the Earth warming? Yes, I think it is. But is man causing that? No. It's a simple climate cycle our climate goes through over thousands of years."
Grant Dade of KLTV-TV Tyler, TX
If manmade global warming is not junk science, it is surely bad science. Thanks to climategate, we now know..there has been no statistically significant global warming since 1995."
