Bob Armstrong


Bob Armstrong spent the ’70s studying visual psychophysics at Northwestern University, the last several years hanging out with the math and computer people. He learned APL, array programming language, synergistically with multidimensional algebra whose notation it generalizes and makes interactively executable. The truism that the most valuable numbers to crunch are ones with currency symbols attached led Bob to move east for such jobs as rewriting Xerox’s relational global forecasting system and RG&E’s modeling system used for justifying their rates to New York State, all in APL.

Bob spent the next 20 years in Lower Manhattan before changing his view of the Brooklyn Bridge for Pikes Peak. Being offended by the amateurish level of math and physics he saw in the AGW debates, he implemented the basic equations of radiative balance which form the nub of any planetary model in a handful of APL definitions. Even these show that such memes as Hansen’s claim that Venus is an example of a runaway greenhouse don’t compute. He contends that a rather detailed model of the planet can be written in a few pages of succinct APL definitions far more scrutable than the million line FORTRAN programs still used by climate scientists.

JohnColeman

John Coleman

Founder of The Weather Channel


John Coleman recently retired after a 60-year career in meteorology and television. He is best known as the original weathercaster on the ABC network morning program “Good Morning, America” in the 1970s and early 1980s. While appearing on ABC, he developed the concept and business plan for the cable network known as The Weather Channel, for which he served as CEO and president. Eventually, Coleman left TWC and returned to television weathercasting.

Coleman’s TV career began at WCIA in Champaign, Illinois. He worked for WMBD-TV in Peoria, Illinois, KETV in Omaha, WISN-TV in Milwaukee, and WBBM-TV and WLS-TV in Chicago before his years at “Good Morning America.” He moved to Southern California to join KUSI-TV in 1994. Since 2007, Coleman has shared his global warming views on CNN, the Fox News Channel, and on the Showtime program, “Penn & Teller.

He has spoken on dozens of radio talk programs across the nation and has published a series of articles explaining how the global warming scare developed. Coleman’s global warming videos and papers and links to key websites on the topic are available on Coleman’s Corner and You Tube.

Russell Cook


Russell Cook prefers to be defined as a common citizen, familiar enough with the global warming issue to spot contradictory political narratives within it.

In 2008, he was concerned about implementations of greenhouse gas regulations which ignored skeptic climate scientists’ assessments. In 2010, after spotting major faults in the accusation that skeptics are “paid industry shills”, he focused exclusively on that problem.

His numerous online articles detail the accusation’s myriad faults and its central promulgator, global warming alarmist book author Ross Gelbspan. Cook now writes a forensic dissection of Gelbspan’s accusation at GelbspanFiles.com.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of New Mexico and his associate degree in graphic arts from the Al Collins School of Graphic Design.[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_1third]

Myron Ebell

Director of Energy and Global Warming, Competitive Enterprise Institute


Myron Ebell is director of energy and global warming policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). He chairs the Cooler Heads Coalition, representing more than two dozen non-profit groups in the U.S. and abroad that question global warming alarmism and oppose energy rationing policies. He has testified before six U.S. House and Senate committees and has debated scores of government officials and environmental advocacy groups on radio and in person. Greenpeace featured Ebell and three of his CEI colleagues in “A Field Guide to Climate Criminals” distributed at the UN climate meeting in Montreal in December 2005.

In its November 17, 2005 issue, Rolling Stone magazine named Ebell one of six “Misleaders” on global warming, along with President George W. Bush, Senator James Inhofe, and Michael Crichton. In November 2004, as a result of a BBC Radio interview, seven members of the British House of Commons introduced a motion to censure Ebell “in the strongest possible terms.” In its May 22, 2004 special “Issues and Answers” issue, National Journal profiled Ebell as one of 10 people who would lead the global warming debate during the next presidential administration. The Clean Air Trust in March 2001 named Ebell its “Villain of the Month” for his role in convincing the Bush administration not to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.

Over a dozen books carry Keen’s name as author or co-author, and his cloud photographs appear in the WMO International Cloud Atlas and on United States postage stamps. Keen lives two miles nearer the stars in the Colorado Rockies, where he records the changing climate (but no warming) as an observer for the National Weather Service.

Even higher in the sky, Keen co-discovered Nova Cygni, the brightest “new star” in the past 70 years, and is honored with a mountain-sized asteroid, (4129) Richelen, bearing his (and his wife’s) name.
