Stance on Climate Change

โ€œIt is still poorly understood, but our data show a correlation between solar activity and periods with warmer winters in the northern hemisphere. This correlation was confirmed by core samples taken place in the North Atlantic and Greenland.โ€1โ€œAugusto Mangini, physicien: ‘Ce dรฉbat est trop รฉmotionnel’,โ€ (Archived) Le Matin, January 17, 2009. Translated with Google Translate.

Key Quotes

โ€œI consider the part of the IPCC report, which I can really judge as an expert, i.e. the reconstruction of the paleoclimate, wrong,โ€ Mangini noted in an April 5, 2007 article. He added: โ€œThe earth will not die.โ€2โ€œU. S. Senate Minority Report: More Than 700 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claimsโ€ (PDF), U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, December 11, 2008. (Updated March 16, 2009).

Mangini spoke at an Alumni Conference in Hamburg (PDF), on the subject of โ€œThe Global Ecology: Have we got the message and what should we do?โ€ where he concludes that โ€œtemperature variations in the last [sic] are not wholly due to carbon dioxide emissions, but are more related to different ‘troia phases’, with some periods over the last 10,000 years being similarly warm or even warmer than today without the contribution of human-generated carbon emissions.3โ€œConference Reportโ€ (PDF), The Young Kรถnigswinter Alumni Conference Hamburg 2007.
