As the world gathered in the Danish capital for the UN Climate Change Conference, more than 50 scientists, businessmen and lobby groups met to discuss the arguments against man made global warming.
Although the meeting was considerably smaller than the official gathering of 15,000 people meeting down the road, the organisers claimed it could change the course of negotiations.
Professor Henrik Svensmark, a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, said the recent warming period was caused by solar activity.
He said the last time the world experienced such high temperatures, during the medieval warming period, the Sun and the Earth were in a similar cycle.
Professor Nils-Axel Morner, a geologist from Stockholm University, said sea level rise has also been exaggerated by the “climate alarmists” using computer models.
He said observational data from lake sediments, coast lines and trees show sea levels have remained stable.
Professor Cliff Ollier, another geologist from the University of Western Australia, also said the environmental lobby have got it wrong on ice caps. He said the melting of ice sheets is caused by geothermal activity rather than global surface temperatures.
Professor Ian Plimer, from the University of Adelaide, claimed carbon dioxide from volcanoes rather than humans is driving warming as part of a natural process.
The meeting was organised by Danish group Climate Sense and the lobby group Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).
Craig Rucker, Executive Director of CFACT, admitted the organisation have taken funding from Exxon Mobil in the past but pointed out that many environmental groups are also receiving funding from major corporations.
Graham Capper of Climate Sense said manmade global warming was a myth and scientists who said otherwise were lying.

What about El Nino? Does anyone remember that? That’s realistically what could be causing unusual changes in the temperature and all in all I think that listening to the celebrities has caused formerly sane scientists to ignore these very common things.

“Professor Henrik Svensmark, a physicist at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, said the recent warming period was caused by solar activity.”
Yeah but they can’t put a tax on the sun can they? ;-)
You mean to tell me, this ginormous, heat emitting nuclear explosion cooking next door might have something to do with global warming?
Who woulda thunk it...
What could the sun possibly have to do with our planet’s temperatures? That’s such an absurd idea!!! Next thing you know some idiot will claim that water can make things wet.
You never know these days. :)
The question is does the lack of sun spots and hence cooler sun signify a delayed response of the typical increase, or is this the beginning of another Maunder or Sporer Minimum and generally cooler temperatures over time. Since there has appeared to be an 88 year cycle, the next sun spot maximum could rival the maximum of the Dust Bowl/Depression era with more heat from man made causes. On the other hand a continued sunspot minimum would be a major change. Tune in for an exciting/unpredictible future.
Whether we go hotter or cooler, let’s all save energy and get out from under the thumb of the Muzzies, Nigeria, and Venezuela; and save our own hard earned money.
What they need to do is put up a website and publish their point-by-point refutations.
*ping*
Scientists lie. Mark that one for the record!! (Lots of room for self-named "scientists" to say otherwise... and prove it. Silence is complicity.)
Who da thunk it...... Henrik’s a Rush fan
I really don’t see how it can be so hot with so many fans.
“...the organisation have taken funding from Exxon Mobil...”
But somehow researchers who compete for grant money from politicians are above question.

Hypothesis: a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena, either asserted merely as a provisional conjecture to guide investigation (working hypothesis) or accepted as highly probable in the light of established facts.

It is past time for legitimate, ethical, intelligent, hard working scientists to rise up and defend their life’s work.
Watching those charlatans at UEA CRU will tarnish many reputations for decades.
Much like priests who have been permanently damaged by a few perverts.
Pick up your Bunsen Burners dudes and START A FIRE!!!!
We experience enormous climate change just today as the temperature swung wildly from 30 degrees to 60 degrees.
