Washington, D.C., April 28, 2008—Global warming advocates have long argued that the science regarding human impacts on the global climate is clear and settled – that human beings are having a catastrophic effect on the natural world through the release of greenhouse gases. In reality, a large number of distinguished researchers are skeptical of the alarmist view on climate change.
To document some of these stories, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has produced the online video series “Skeptics Speak Out,” in which experts from a range of disciplines address key topics in the global warming debate like climate models, ocean currents, hurricanes, glaciers and more.
“With so many activists and fellow travelers insisting that the science is settled on climate change, it is vital to remind people that there is a large – and increasing – array of experts who disagree with the misleadingly labeled ‘consensus’ view,” said CEI Senior Fellow Marlo Lewis, Jr.
Skeptics Speak Out currently consist of five interview segments, with the following experts:
· Dr. E. Calvin Beisner – National Spokesman, Cornwall Alliance
· Dr. Joseph D’Aleo – Founding Director of Meteorology, The Weather Channel
· Dr. Jim O’Brien – State Climatologist of Florida
· Dr. Kesten Green – Senior Research Fellow, Monash University
· Dr. Howard Hayden – Professor of Physics Emeritus, University of Connecticut
