Flashback April 2009: S. African UN Scientist: 'The whole climate change issue is about to fall apart -- Heads will roll!'  

Sunday, April 12, 2009By Marc Morano  –  Climate Depot

By Professor Dr. William J.R. Alexander, Emeritus of the Department of Civil and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, and a former member of the United Nations Scientific and Technical Committee on Natural Disasters.

Dr. Alexander Excerpt via An Honest Climate Debate: The whole climate change issue is about to fall apart. Heads will roll. [...] It is also very important to note that global climate models are unable to produce an output that is verifiable. In other words the output can neither be proved nor disproved. What grounds do those who use these models have to refute observations made by others to the effect that there is no believable evidence of the postulated dramatic adverse changes produced by the models? [...]

Not only do our studies completely negate the claims made by climate change scientists, but we can demonstrate with a high degree of assurance that all the proposed measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions will be an exercise in futility. There is no way whatsoever that the costly mitigation measures will have a meaningful effect on the world's climate. [..]

I cannot understand the deliberate attempts by a small, unrepresentative group of climatologists and environmentalists in the National Biodiversity Institute in particular, to vilify me and discredit my studies. What are they attempting to achieve? All that they needed to do was to produce scientifically believable evidence to the contrary.

I must stress that the following is not a personal issue. I bear no grudges and have no chip on my shoulders. Full report here:
