Stance on Climate Change
January 2016
โThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has to provide proof for significant human-caused climate change; yet their climate models have never been validated and are rapidly diverging from actual observations. The real threat to humanity comes not from any (trivial) greenhouse warming but from cooling periods creating food shortages and famines.โ10S.

โ[โฆ] So, has global warming really stopped? We will know for sure in just a few years.
There will certainly be debate also about my proposition of no evidence at all for AGW.We will need a persuasive answer to the puzzle โ why do land thermometers show a warming before 2000, but not after 2000?I may have an answer, but must first try to convince my colleagues.
One thing is quite certain, however: Current IPCC climate models cannot explain what the observations clearly show.

โI go back to the major error of the UN climate panel, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They have been claiming in all their 5 major reports that CO2 increases are the cause of warming.

โWe have to ask, what is the impact of a warmer climate? Itโs not the warming itself that we should be concerned about. It is the impact. So we have to then ask: What is the impact on agriculture? The answer is: Itโs positive. Itโs good. Whatโs the impact on forests of greater levels of CO2 and greater temperatures? Itโs good. What is the impact on water supplies? Itโs neutral. What is the impact on sea level? It will produce a reduction in sea-level rise. It will not raise sea levels. What is the impact on recreation? Itโs mixed. You get, on the one hand, perhaps less skiing; on the other hand, you get more sunshine and maybe better beach weather.

Singer wrote an article in The Wall Street Journal titled โThe Sea Is Rising, but Not Because of Climate Change.โ In the article, Singer claimed, โthe temperature of sea water has no direct effect on sea-level rise. That means neither does the atmospheric content of carbon dioxide.โ35S. Fred Singer. โThe Sea Is Rising, but Not Because of Climate Change,โ The Wall Street Journal, May 15, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/jZhIN
โThis conclusion is worth highlighting: It shows that sea-level rise does not depend on the use of fossil fuels. The evidence should allay fear that the release of additional CO2 will increase sea-level rise,โ Singer wrote.36S. Fred Singer. โThe Sea Is Rising, but Not Because of Climate Change,โ The Wall Street Journal, May 15, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/jZhIN
He does admit that โthere is also good data showing sea levels are in fact rising at an accelerating rateโ however comments that โThe cause of the trend is a puzzle.โ37S. Fred Singer. โThe Sea Is Rising, but Not Because of Climate Change,โ The Wall Street Journal, May 15, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/jZhIN
โCurrently, sea-level rise does not seem to depend on ocean temperature, and certainly not on CO2. We can expect the sea to continue rising at about the present rate for the foreseeable future. [โฆ] There is nothing we can do about rising sea levels in the meantime. Weโd better build dikes and sea walls a little bit higher,โ Singer concluded.38S.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) offered commentary on Singerโs WSJ piece, noting that the counter to Singerโs claims, โscience is crystal clearโ regarding the reason for sea level rise:39โHereโs Why Seas Are Rising. Somebody Remind the Wall Street Journal,โ Union of Concerned Scientists, May 18, 2018. Archived May 18, 2018. Archive.is URL: https://archive.li/RVZnv
โ[W]e know that without strong policy to limit CO2 emissions, the rising water will continue to accelerate, inundating all the coastal cities of the world,โ UCS noted. โThe reason that sea levels are rising faster and faster is because every bit of coal, oil, and gas we burn adds to the CO2 in the atmosphere, absorbing more of the Earthโs radiant heat, and contributing more to the thermal expansion of seawater and the loss of land ice. This is not a mystery. Itโs extremely well understood and documented by millions of direct measurements.โ
Scientists at Climate Feedback also examined the WSJ article, and found it โgrossly misleads readers about science of sea level riseโ and that Singerโs claims were โcontradicted by a wealth of data and research.โ According to the scientistsโ feedback, โSinger bases his conclusion entirely on a cherry-picked comparison of sea level rise 1915-1945 and a single study published in 1990, claiming a lack of accelerating sea level rise despite continued warming. But in fact, modern research utilizing all available data clearly indicates that sea level rise has accelerated, and is unambiguously the result of human-caused global warming.โ40โWall Street Journal commentary grossly misleads readers about science of sea level rise,โ Climate Feedback, May 2018.

In his May 10, 2005 Guardian column, George Monbiot uncovered a story implicating Fred Singer in the spread of misinformation on the state of the worldโs glaciers. An expanded version of this story made its way into Monbiotโs best selling book, Heat. 89George Monbiot. โJunk science,โ The Guardian, May 10, 2005. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/UUQY
During his research, Monbiot found a letter by the UK climate change skeptic David Bellamy in New Scientist magazine. Bellamyโs letter reported that โ555 of all the 625 glaciers under observation by the World Glacier Monitoring Service in Zurich have been growing since 1980.โ90George Monbiot. โJunk science,โ The Guardian, May 10, 2005. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/UUQY
When Monbiot phoned the World Glacier Monitoring Service, they reported in indelicate words that this claim was โcomplete bullshit.โ They confirmed that glaciers are retreating around the world.91George Monbiot. โJunk science,โ The Guardian, May 10, 2005. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/UUQY
Monbiot looked for a source for the claim, which appeared dozens of times in different locations. All trails seemed to lead back to the website of the Science and Environmental Policy Project, S. Fred Singerโs group.92George Monbiot. โJunk science,โ The Guardian, May 10, 2005. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/UUQY
When people challenged Singer on his claim, he criticized Monbiot, saying he must have โbeen smoking something or other.โ Singer eventually conceded that the information had originated on his site โ posted there by โformer SEPP associate Candace Crandallโ and that the information โappears to be incorrect and has been updated.โ93George Monbiot. โJunk science,โ The Guardian, May 10, 2005.

The 1995 โLeipzig Declarationโ was a collaboration between Fred Singerโs Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) and a group called the European Academy of Environmental Affairs.

S. Fred Singer was the primary author of a paper in the journal Cosmos, titled โWhat to do about Greenhouse Warming: Look Before You Leap.โ Many have credited this article to Roger Revelle, a man described by some as the grandfather of modern climate change science and whose name woul dhave given the article significantly more credence than Singerโs alone.104โWhat To Do about Greenhouse Warming: Look Before You Leap,โ Cosmos: A Journal of Emerging Issues. Vol. 5, No. 2 (Summer 1992). Republised by Science & Environmental Policy Project. Archived September 28, 2006. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/HcQus
Evidence suggests that Revell was never an author. Justin Lancaster, a Research Fellow at Harvard University School of Public Health, suggests that Revelle never had complete knowledge of Singerโs paper, and that he may have even been pressured into his role in the project. Lancasterโs report and evidence are still available here.105โThe Cosmos Myth,โ The OSS Foundation, July 6, 2006. Original article archived here. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/4RhDo
The main conclusions of the Cosmos paper, including the most-referred-to quotes like โLook before you leapโ and โThe scientific basis for a greenhouse warming is too uncertain to justify drastic action at this time,โ both appeared before the publication of the Cosmos article, in a separate paper authored by Fred Singer alone in the journal ES&T (see archived PDF here).106S. Fred Singer. โWhat to do about Greenhouse Warming (PDF), Environ. Sci. Technol. Vol. 24, No. 8 (1990). Archived .pdf on file at Desmog.
The key points of Lancasterโs report are reproduced below:107โThe Cosmos Myth,โ The OSS Foundation, July 6, 2006. Original article archived here. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/4RhDo
- Revelle did not write the Cosmos article.
- S. Fred Singer claimed sole authorship of the major statements of the article in his ES&T paper months before he put the finishing touches on his Cosmos Masterpiece.
- If S. Fred Singer is sole author of this material, then Revelle cannot be an author.
- If S. Fred Singer is not sole author of this material, then he has admitted in his deposition to ethical concern about one author publishing under his own sole authorship material that was co-authored.
- Revelle appears not to have had full information โ not about the ES&T publication and not about the many energy-industry agents who were busy at work here.
In a written affidavit (Archived PDF here) by Rogerโs secretary Christa Beran, it appears that Singer may have also pressured Roger Revelle into his involvement with the paper:108โAffidavit of Ms. Christa Beranโ (PDF), Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Middlesex, ss. Superior Court Civil Action No. 93-2219.
โI do not remember seeing any review by Roger of any text by Dr. Singer before a day in February 1991 when he came to Rogerโs office. For quite some time Dr. Singer had been trying to get Roger to work on an article that Dr. Singer was writing for the Cosmos Club Journal. He seemed quite anxious to get Rogerโs comments. [โฆ] After a series of unsuccessful attempts to get Roger to work on this document, Dr. Singer must have decided that the only way he was going to get this thing done was to come in person.109โAffidavit of Ms. Christa Beranโ (PDF), Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Middlesex, ss. Superior Court Civil Action No. 93-2219.
โI remember feeling that Roger was cornered, because I thought I understood from the fact that Roger had procrastinated so long that this enterprise was something he didnโt really want to be involved with. [โฆ]โ
It appeared that Revelle did not have full information about the original ES&T publication. Singer went through three drafts of the paper after receiving comments from fellow climate change skeptics Patrick Michaels, Robert C. Balling Jr., Hugh W. Ellsaesser, and Richard Lindzen, however it also appears that Revelle was unaware of their contributions. While Singer incorporated a number of changes based on suggestions made by these skeptics, unlike Revell, none of their names appear in the final paper.110โThe Cosmos Myth,โ The OSS Foundation, July 6, 2006. Original article archived here. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/4RhDo
The discussion between Singer and Revelle accounted for just 1% of changes in the articleโs text between galley proof and final article; this said, it is strange that many still refer to the publication as โRevelleโs articleโ and not Singerโs. And those changes were not consistent with Revelleโs traditional views. Most notably, that warming in the 21st century would be 1-3 degrees Celsius, as opposed to โwell below normal year-to-year variationโ which, as Revelle had frequently cited in his own lectures, was less than about 0.2 degrees Celsius.111โThe Cosmos Myth,โ The OSS Foundation, July 6, 2006. Original article archived here. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/4RhDo
Lancaster reported that in personal discussion, Revelle โgave me the very strong sense that he was intensely embarrassed that his name was associated [with the paper]. He seemed noticeably relieved when we agreed together that perhaps the readership of the Cosmos Club journal would be small and limited. Little did either of us anticipate at that moment what was really going on and what would follow.โ112โThe Cosmos Myth,โ The OSS Foundation, July 6, 2006. Original article archived here. Archive.is URL: https://archive.is/4RhDo
What followed was a continued use of โthe Revelle paperโ in Congressional and Vice-Presidential debates with climate change skeptics including Singer, Balling and Michaels where it was used โto harrass, embarrass and otherwise discredit Al Gore.โ In 2003, Singer published a book chapter titled โThe Revelle-Gore Story: Attempted Political Suppression of Scienceโ that continued to criticize Al Gore as well as Lancaster.113โThe Cosmos Myth,โ The OSS Foundation, July 6, 2006.
