On June 2, as Congress debated global warming legislation that would raise energy costs to consumers by hundreds of billions of dollars, the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) released an 880-page book challenging the scientific basis of concerns that global warming is either man-made or would have harmful effects.

In “Climate Change Reconsidered: The 2009 Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC),” coauthors Dr. S. Fred Singer and Dr. Craig Idso and 35 contributors and reviewers present an authoritative and detailed rebuttal of the findings of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), on which the Obama Administration and Democrats in Congress rely for their regulatory proposals.

The scholarship in this book demonstrates overwhelming scientific support for the position that the warming of the twentieth century was moderate and not unprecedented, that its impact on human health and wildlife was positive, and that carbon dioxide probably is not the driving factor behind climate change.

The authors cite thousands of peer-reviewed research papers and books that were ignored by the IPCC, plus additional scientific research that became available after the IPCC’s self-imposed deadline of May 2006.

The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) is an international panel of nongovernment scientists and scholars who have come together to understand the causes and consequences of climate change. Because it is not a government agency, and because its members are not predisposed to believe climate change is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, NIPCC is able to offer an independent “second opinion” of the evidence reviewed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). NIPCC traces its roots to a meeting in Milan in 2003 organized by the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP), a nonprofit research and education organization based in Arlington, Virginia. SEPP, in turn, was founded in 1990 by Dr. S. Fred Singer, an atmospheric physicist, and incorporated in 1992 following Dr. Singer’s retirement from the University of Virginia.

Climategate: Emails Reveal
Fraud in IPCC Reports

IPCC email scandal reveals fraud in climate reports

Emails exchanged by Phil Jones and other leading scientists who edit and control the content of the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reveal a conspiracy to falsify the actual temperature record and silence so-called "skeptics." Anyone who continues to cite the IPCC as representing the "consensus" on global warming is wrong. The IPCC has been totally discredited. (read more)

Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate

Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the ClimateThis 48-page report by S. Fred Singer and two dozen academic contributors, published in 2008, offers a point-by-point rebuttal of many of the most important claims by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Chapters address attribution, natural cycles, the reliability of climate models, rise of sea-level, ocean heating, the role of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the effects of modest warming.


International Conference on Climate Change Proceedings

The Third International Conference on Climate Change was held in Washington, DC on June 2, 2009 at the Washington Court Hotel, 525 New Jersey Avenue NW. The event, attended by more than 250 scientists, economists, policy analysts, and policymakers, called attention to widespread dissent to the asserted “consensus” on various aspects of climate change and global warming.
