Where are the scientists who don't believe in global warming?

Question

Find me a true scientist that doesn't believe in Global warming who ISNT funded by a neo-conservative think tank such as the Heritage foundation.

I want their names, credentials,links to peer-reviewed papers, and most importantly funding sources for their studies.

Yes, speaking of research..

How about Dr. Timothy Ball who worked for the National Resources Stewardship project who claims to be a climatologist but whose credentials have since been questioned, and whose group the NRSP hase been found to be funding by energy companies?

How about the National Center for Public Policy Research "Upon scrutinizing the directory, however, CLEAR found that fewer than half of the experts listed in NCCPR's directory were actual scientists and in fact, only 51 of the 141 individuals listed had a PH.D in any field whatsoever."

Quote from -- Trust us We're experts by Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber, published by Putnam 2001, page 256.

This same company has a history of feeding anti-gobal warming and Kyoto treaty statements to the media.

I have done my research thank you very much. Have you?

I would simply like to see at least one truly credentialed scientist who wasn't funded by energy companies or other front groups, who has written

peer-reviewed papers in an accomplished and recognized scientific magazine.

Lo,

I am asking this because I want to investigate the other side and the other opinion, however, I do NOT want that research to be clouded by false scientists who are manipulating their results to continue to gain funding from energy companies, politicians, conservative think-tanks, or any messed up source.

Apparently I need to state everything completely outright, of course this probably goes on on both sides of the scientific aisle. I just want to be sure that when I am looking at a scientific opinion that differs from my own (albeit not scientific) opinion that I am looking at honest and true research that hasn't been corrupted.

Answer 2

Peace,
First, I am not here to start an argument over scientific studies, but I think your opening statement shows that you have already made up your mind on global warming and it is of a political decision and not a scientific decision.
Science in weather is far from perfect, you could probably predict the weather with a coin as well as meteorologist can with using all of modern technology. Science is not perfect and sometimes is completely inaccurate. In global warming, this can be proved by taking a look at what scientist were telling us from the 1940's to the 1970's. THEY PREDICTED A NEW ICE AGE WAS COMING!!
Things were different in 1940-70, when there was global cooling. Every cold winter then was hailed as proof of a coming new Ice Age. But the moment cooling was replaced by warming, a new disaster in the opposite direction was proclaimed. This is a quote form a scientist from that time,
"We simply cannot afford to gamble. We cannot risk inaction. The scientists who disagree are acting irresponsibly. The indications that our climate can soon change for the worse are too strong to be reasonably ignored." The warning was not about global warming (which was not happening): it was about global cooling!
I agree that society really needs to take a look at how we can improve the quality of life for not only ourselves, but also Earth. I just hate when people decide that this is a political situation, when realistically, all parties are responsible for the situation. Do you drive a car? Do you have furniture made of wood? Do you carpool or ride mass transit? Do you use electricity that is made from "green" sources only?
Again, this is not about arguing the point of how we need to take better care of our planet, but more about how science is not always correct and that your demand for "names, credentials, links, ect... are only for the purpose of taking a swipe at Republican party. Remember, Global Warming is worldwide and is not limited to The United States. Last time I checked, China was not a country that had Demo's and Republicans, and they still are a source of the problem.

Answer 3

First, I do believe we need to do something to help the environment. The cleaner the environment, the better.

I am concerned about your question though (the way it is stated) because of the 100's that support the theory of global warming. Where are they getting their money? This answer is obvious; the left-wing nut jobs.

When the weatherman can predict the weather 2 weeks from now, I will allow the weatherman to predict global warming. The only real answer to theory is time.

Below is a list of scientists via the wiki link. I will let you do the research on each of them. Some have equal, if not more credentials than most of the scientists who support global warming.

All in all, both sides are in it to make money for at least the next decade, one side more than the other.

Global Warming "Consensus" Claim Doesn't Hold Water
Scientists Simply Don't Agree That Global Warming is Occurring
Talking Points on the Environment #38



Journalists increasingly are reporting that scientists have reached a consensus on global warming. Close examination of the evidence cited to support these claims, however, reveals that such claims simply don't hold water:
Claim: Scientists agree that failing to respond to the threat of global warming now could prove disastrous for some parts of the globe.

Fact: A survey of over 400 German, American and Canadian climate researchers conducted by the Meteorologisches Institut der Universitat Hamburg and the GKSS Forschungszentrum found that 67% of those surveyed either disagreed or were uncertain about the proposition that global warming will occur so quickly that lack of preparation could prove disastrous.

Claim: Thousands of scientists have signed letters and petitions alerting the public to the dangers of global warming.

Fact: One of the letters often cited to support this claim was issued by Ozone Action. A close examination of that letter revealed that only 10% of the letter's signatories had backgrounds in climate science. Worse, landscape architects, a gynecologist, and a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine are among the signatories.

Claim: 2,500 United Nations-sponsored scientists have concluded that human greenhouse gas emissions are warming the temperature of the planet.

Fact: This claim is based on the fact that the United Nations Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report suggesting a "discernible human influence" on climate change. While several thousand scientists were consulted in crafting the report, not all of them agreed with its conclusions. As Dr. John W. Zillman, one of these scientists noted: "[The IPCC was] meticulous in insisting that the final decision on whether to accept particular review comments should reside with chapter Lead Authors... Some Lead Authors ignored valid critical comments or failed to... reflect dissenting views..." The report was therefore the result of a political rather than a scientific process.

Claim: The majority of scientists believe global warming is a process underway and that it is human-induced.

Fact: A 1992 Gallup survey of climatologists found that 81 percent of respondents believed that the global temperature had not risen over the past 100 years, were uncertain whether or not or why such warming had occurred, or believed any temperature increases during that period were within the natural range of variation. Further, a 1997 survey conducted by American Viewpoint found that state climatologists believe that global warming is largely a natural phenomenon by a margin of 44% to 17%.

Answer 5

Why? Are you going to report them to the far left nut jobs and sanction them? Would it matter who they are? You would just find another excuse to believe what you want to believe.
Even on the far left, there are some scientists that think we are actually cooling. In the last 5 years the Earth cooled.037 degree C.

The data you far left scientists use is skewed and some of it on purpose and knowing of the incorrect conclusion.
The research data failed to include volcanic activity contributions to temp. changes and particulate matter in the atmosphere.
Whether the Earth is cooling, or warming, man is not the cause. The Earth has its cycles and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
Just as there have been ice ages since before the dawn of man, so will there be again. Just as there will be warming. If it wasn't for warming, Great Briton and Kentucky would be covered in ice and snow year round. Kentucky was covered by a glacier about 12 thousand years ago. This is real science. This isn't made up by some idiot that wants to reduce mankind to 300 million on Earth. And yes, some of the scientists on the far left really do think this. They have come out and made this statement publicly. There is too much to write here. Believe what you want and in who you want to believe in. If you want to be an Al Gore groupie that is your choice.

Answer 6

They are still laughing. Why didn't Al Gore even utter the words Global Warming in his 8 yrs. as VP? But now that Hollywood needs a political figure to back the hype there's Albert. Did the producers of the film, not know that Al Gore was in politics at one point in his life? Who better to usher in their agenda, than a washed up liberal politician.

Answer 7

They are all around you but the media won't give them the time of day because it doesn't fit into their plan. Don't have the time or desire to do the research for you that is something that a truely unbiased, informed person would want to do on their own, but they are out there writing books and papers just not being reported.

Answer 8

Al Gore won an Oscar because of his convictions of Global Warming. If you want to hear Michael Crichton talk about it click here. Go about one third in. I am convinced global warming is real however this highly intellegent interview gave me some doubts. Check it out. (about 2/3's of the way in)

Answer 9

Dave Murray, independent meteorologist on Fox. He says that we are in a warming trend and that only some of it is due to global warming. He may not be in a laboratory or in some ivory towers but his view makes sense.

Answer 10

Scientists who don't believe in global warming just shake their heads and deal with real things .. let their their co workers get the publicity and when it doesn't happen let them deal with the embarassment too.. When anyone says they don't believe in global warming they get attacked.. who wants to get attacked? btw former hippies and global warming activists are liberals .. if you find a real conservative that believes in the claptrap list 'em yourself~!
