I CRUCIFIED GAIA:
Nature, not man, is to blame, Gore critic insists (Steve Lyttle, 10/13/07, McClatchy Newspapers)
"We'll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realize how foolish it was," [William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts] said.He cited statistics, showing there were 101 hurricanes from 1900-1949, in a period of cooler global temperatures, compared to 83 from 1957-2006, when the Earth warmed.
"The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major effect on global temperatures," Gray said.
"It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something they know is wrong," he said. "But they also know that they'd never get any grants if they spoke out. I don't care about grants."

"The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to have a major effect on global temperatures," Gray said.
That ain't true. Humans were proved to have a major effect on nature. Our forefathers were able to force the monster who had just swallowed the sun to spit it out by banging loudly on their drums.
