"We are concerned that the bill relies primarily on reports by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) to support its premise. Our concerns include IPCC reliance on unrepresentative ground-based temperature stations. We note an inability of ground-based data to agree with superior quality temperature values from weather balloons and satellites," the geologists explain.
"We also take concern with IPCC dependence on unreliable climate computer-model simulations. A high degree of model uncertainty was made clear during a recent failure to predict a current cooling trend revealed by NASA satellite data (2008). Dr. Roy Spencer, former Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, contends that an incomplete understanding of clouds, and water vapor in
its role as the dominant green-house gas, are prime sources of model error," the statement notes.
