There are, of course, many other scientists who have serious problems with the science 'backing' Kyoto as well:
  1. See the Heidelberg Appeal at http://www.sepp.org/heidelberg_appeal.html where 3,000 scientists, including 72 Nobel Prize winners, from 106 countries, have now signed the appeal. They warn of the "irrational ideology" driving global-warming science.
  2. See also the anti-Kyoto Leipzig Declaration (at http://www.sepp.org/leipzig.html, which has attracted the signatures of 1,500 scientists (see http://www.sepp.org/LDsigs.html).
  3. Finally Dr. Robinson's OISM petition whose 17,000 signatories have endorsed the statement, "there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate." - see http://www.oism.org/oism/s32p31.htm

The Myths of Climate Change and Renewable Energy

Myth # Myth Description
1 Humanity is the primary cause of global climate change.
1a Computer models show catastrophic warming in the future.
1b The consensus of world scientists, as revealed by the UN's IPCC, agree - humanity is causing significant climate change.
1c Climate change is occurring at an unprecedented rate.
2 Recent global temperature rise has been dramatic.
3 The buildup of human induced greenhouse gases, and carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular, will cause a catastrophic planetary warming.
4 If the earth warms, it will be disastrous for the environment and human society.
5 Extreme weather events are expected to be more common if the world warms. This has already started - drought, floods, forest fires, etc. are on the rise as a result of our greenhouse gas emissions.
6 Sea-level is rising quickly and it will get worse if the polar ice caps melt due to global warming. Coastal settlements and low-lying islands will be submerged.
7 Humanity is causing earth's polar regions to warm quickly resulting in unusual rates of ice melting.
8 Kyoto will save thousands of lives by cutting air pollution.
9 Solar and wind power can soon be significant contributors to the base load energy needs of Canada.
