Mas de 400 cientificos en desacuerdo con causa del calentamiento global

Una comisión del Senado norteamericano -(U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (Minority)- sacó un informe este último 20 de Diciembre donde dice que más de 400 cientificos están en desacuerdo con lo dicho por Rajendra Pachauri, Presidente del IPCC de la UN. El señor Pachauri dice que sólo una docena de científicos alrededor del mundo no están de acuerdo con las conclusiones del IPCC. El informe se hizo para refutar esta afirmación. Además de nombrar a diferentes científicos en desacuerdo con las conclusiones del IPCC, el informe incluye citas de muchos de ellos criticando a dicho comité. Van algunos ejemplos:

Russia: Russian scientist Dr. Oleg Sorochtin of the Institute of Oceanology at the Russian Academy of Sciences: "Even if the concentration of ‘greenhouse gases' double man would not perceive the temperature impact," Sorochtin wrote.

Brazil: Chief Meteorologist Eugenio Hackbart of the MetSul Meteorologia Weather Center in Sao Leopoldo - Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil declared himself a skeptic. "The media is promoting an unprecedented hyping related to global warming. The media and many scientists are ignoring very important facts that point to a natural variation in the climate system as the cause of the recent global warming," Hackbart wrote on May 30, 2007.

Norway: Geologist/Geochemist Dr. Tom V. Segalstad, a professor and head of the Geological Museum at the University of Oslo and formerly an expert reviewer with the UN IPCC: "It is a search for a mythical CO2 sink to explain an immeasurable CO2 lifetime to fit a hypothetical CO2 computer model that purports to show that an impossible amount of fossil fuel burning is heating the atmosphere. It is all a fiction."

India: One of India's leading geologists, B.P. Radhakrishna, President of the Geological Society of India, expressed climate skepticism in 2007. "We appear to be overplaying this global warming issue as global warming is nothing new. It has happened in the past, not once but several times, giving rise to glacial-interglacial cycles."

USA: Climatologist Robert Durrenberger, past president of the American Association of State Climatologists: "Al Gore brought me back to the battle and prompted me to do renewed research in the field of climatology. And because of all the misinformation that Gore and his army have been spreading about climate change I have decided that ‘real' climatologists should try to help the public understand the nature of the problem."

Britain: Dr. Richard Courtney, a UN IPCC expert reviewer and a UK-based climate and atmospheric science consultant: "To date, no convincing evidence for AGW (anthropogenic global warming) has been discovered. And recent global climate behavior is not consistent with AGW model predictions.

Eso sólo de muestra. El Informe empieza con las siguientes frases:

This report is in the spirit of enlightenment philosopher Denis Diderot who reportedly said, "Skepticism is the first step towards truth."
[Disclaimer: The following scientists named in this report have expressed a range of views from skepticism to outright rejection of predictions of catastrophic man-made global warming. As in all science, there is no lock step single view.]

Ya en Mayo de este año, la misma comisión del Senado americano informó sobre los científicos que habían pasado de ser creyentes de la "teoría" del cambio global causado por el hombre a la categoría de escépticos.
