  1. CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVEN BY THE OCEAN – NOT HUMANS by William M. Gray Colorado State University

  2. POLITICS • A great Anthropogenic (human-induced) Global Warming(AGW) hoax is being played on the people of the world. • Scientific objectivity on this topic has long ago been suspended. • IPCC has been politicized – it’s predictions are not believable.

  3. SHOULD HAVE BEEN Government Funding AGW Advocates AGW Skeptics Debate and Synthesis (NO MEDIA) Balanced Statement to Media

  4. WHAT HAPPENED TREMENDOUS FUNDING! Government Funding NO FUNDING! MEDIA AGW Skeptics AGW Advocates MEDIA Unrealistic Alarmism CAP & TRADE

  7. “The Holy Grail for most scientists is not truth but research grants. And the global warming scare has produced a huge downpour of money for research. Any mystery why so many scientists claim some belief in global warming?” By John Ray (Ph.D. from Australia)

  8. Washington Times – 20 July ‘09

  9. TALK SUMMARY • GCMs give way too much global warming (none of them should be taken seriously) • Deep ocean circulation changes are the primary driver of climate change
