Back In July of 2000 Prof. S Fred Singer testified before the senate committee on Commerece,Science and Transportation. No matter how one feels about the subject it is a must read. Oh, and here are a few of his credentials....Singer holds a degree in engineering from Ohio State and a Ph.D. in physics from Princeton University. He received a Special Commendation from President Eisenhower for the early design of satellites. In 1962, he was selected as first director of the U.S. Weather Satellite Service and received a Gold Medal award from the Department of Commerce for this contribution. In the late 1980s, he served as Chief Scientist of the Department of Transportation and also provided expert advice to the White House on climate issues.

My name is Fred Singer. I am Professor emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia and the founder and president of The Science & Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) in Fairfax, Virginia, a non-partisan, non-profit research group of independent scientists. We work without salaries and are not beholden to anyone or any organization. SEPP does not solicit support from either government or industry but relies on contributions from individuals and foundations.
We hold a skeptical view on the climate science that forms the basis of the National Assessment because we see no evidence to back its findings; climate model exercises are NOT evidence. Vice President Al Gore keeps referring to scientific skeptics as a "tiny minority outside the mainstream." This position is hard to maintain when more than 17,000 scientists have signed the Oregon Petition against the Kyoto Protocol because they see "no compelling evidence that humans are causing discernible climate change."
