The next time someone tells you that all reputable scientists support Global Warming theory... just show them this.Just a small sample of the scientists who dissent with global warming THEORY. They basically form four catagories.
----------------------
CATAGORY 1: Scientists in this section have made comments that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century...
...Freeman Dyson, Professor Emeritus of the School of Natural Sciences, Institute for Advanced Study; Fellow of the Royal Society
... Ivar Giaever, Nobel Laureate in physics and professor emeritus at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, said in a 2011 email explaining his failure to renew his membership of the American Physical Society: "In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period." He calls global warming the "new religion," and, along with more than 100 scientists, wrote in a letter to President Obama, "We maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated." Giaever also refers to climate science as "pseudoscience".

...Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology, Western Washington University
...William M. Gray, Professor Emeritus and head of the Tropical Meteorology Project, Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University said in a 2006 newspaper interview: "I am of the opinion that [global warming] is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people."
...William Happer, physicist specializing in optics and spectroscopy, Princeton University

...David Legates, associate professor of geography and director of the Center for Climatic Research, University of Delaware
...Tad Murty, oceanographer; adjunct professor, Departments of Civil Engineering and Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa said in 2005: Global warming "is the biggest scientific hoax being perpetrated on humanity. There is no global warming due to human anthropogenic activities. The atmosphere hasn’t changed much in 280 million years, and there have always been cycles of warming and cooling. The Cretaceous period was the warmest on earth. You could have grown tomatoes at the North Pole"

---------------------------
CATAGORY 4:Scientists in this section have made comments that projected rising temperatures will be of little impact or a net positive for human society and/or the Earth's environment....
...Craig D. Idso, faculty researcher, Office of Climatology, Arizona State University and founder of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, said in a 2007 paper in response to Al Gore's Senate testimony: "The rising CO2 content of the air should boost global plant productivity dramatically, enabling humanity to increase food, fiber and timber production and thereby continue to feed, clothe, and provide shelter for their still-increasing numbers ... this atmospheric CO2-derived blessing is as sure as death and taxes."
...Sherwood Idso, former research physicist, USDA Water Conservation Laboratory, and adjunct professor, Arizona State University, said in a 2003 report (co-authored with Craig and Keith Idso) for the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change :"[W]arming has been shown to positively impact human health, while atmospheric CO2 enrichment has been shown to enhance the health-promoting properties of the food we eat, as well as stimulate the production of more of it. ... [W]e have nothing to fear from increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 and global warming."
...Patrick Michaels, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute and retired research professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia
