As one of the “substantial number of scientists” I’d like to make a few comments as follows:

1. There is no known cause and effect between the various oxides of carbon and the temperature of the Earth’s Oceans or waters.

2. CO2 is heavier than air and thus sinks towards the base of the air column, thus making it more difficult to have an effect on the upper atmosphere.

3. There are less than 400 parts per million of CO2 in air today, and this is less than in some parts of ice cores from comparable climates of today.

4. In Norway a skull of a polar bear was found and dated at 135KYrBP. Thus polar bears have survived through warmer periods than today.

5. The air temperature today is less than the temperature in the Medieval Warm Period.

6. The junk science statistical correlation of temperature and CO2 content is mainly coincidental, except for the “outlier years” in the 1940’s.

7. At best “Global Warming” is a speculation, and not yet an hypothesis.

8. To rise to the level of an hypothesis, there needs to be testing done that is independent of statistical inference, probability analysis, null hypothesis, and to many variables to be tested. For example, the junk scientists, in my humble, but ALWAYS correct opinion, have made the Global Warming idea untestable with over 200 variables in their computer simulations of models that include all their ideas.

9. Climate cycles are common in the historic record.

10. 5,000 years ago sea level was lower than it is today.

11. 5,000 years ago the Earth’s climate (air) was warmer than it is today. Since then the climate of the Earth has been cooling in a cyclical pattern (not linear). In general, we are in a long term cycle (thousands of years) of global cooling.

12. Junk science cannot be tested, real science can: All scientists are from Missouri.
