Long time readers of this blog will know of long time contributor, IPCC expert reviewer Dr Vincent Gray.
Vincent introduced himself in The Global Warming Scam and Climate Change Superscam
My autobiography Confessions of a Climate Sceptic describes my origins, upbringing, education and scientific career but I am continually subject to disbelief, insult and refusal to be taken seriously. I feel I should summarise them here. At this writing, I am 93 years old and expect this book to be my final word. I have a First Class Honours degree in Physics, Chemistry, Chrystallography and Mathematics and a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Cambridge University, UK. I’ve had a long scientific research career in the UK, France, Canada, New Zealand and China with well over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers on a variety of subjects, including climate. I am a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry. I have been an expert reviewer on all of the reports of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and I am 128 Greenhouse Bulletins and 340 NZ Climate Truth Newsletters, most of which have appeared on the Internet.

Death Notice
GRAY, Vincent Richard: |
90 year old UN IPCC Scientist Dr. Vincent Gray calls global warming scare ‘absurdity’
‘The pressure to accept this absurdity is slowly subsiding as it is becoming more and more evident to more and more people that the climate is not controlled in this way, and we must hand the whole subject back to traditional meteorology which has found that the climate is far too complicated to be decided by only one cause, and ‘greenhouse gases’ becomes less prominent all the time’
Gray to IPCC: ‘Globally averaged near surface temperature” What nonsense! Nobody has ever measured such a quantity. It would require simultaneous measurements of thermometers situated randomly over the entire earth’s surface, including the oceans.’ – ‘Detection’ and ‘Attribution’ are mechanisms of organised guesswork They provide only speculation, not evidence of cause and effect’
‘There are theoretical reasons why the average temperature of the earth’s surface cannot be measured. Because of the fact that the sun does not shine for half the time, its variability is non linear. It is impossible to simulate it with any of the mathematical functions used by statisticians and even if this were possible there is a variety of possible averages, such as the arithmetic mean, geometric mean, or the harmonic mean.’
Gray: ‘During the latter part of the Carboniferous, the Permian and the first half of the Triassic period, 250-320 million years ago, carbon dioxide concentration was half what it is today but the temperature was 10ºC higher than today . Oxygen in the atmosphere fluctuated from 15 to 35% during this period. From the Cretaceous to the Eocene 35 to 100 million years ago, a high temperature went with declining carbon dioxide. The theory that carbon dioxide concentration is related to the temperature of the earth’s surface is therefore wrong.’
UN IPCC Expert Reviewer Dr. Vincent Gray declares ‘THE IPCC SHOULD BE ABOLISHED’
Gray: ‘The IPCC is not an honest independent body but a firmly established political lobby group set up with the task of imposing the global warming theory by any means, controlled by the 195 governments’
UN IPCC Expert Reviewer Dr. Vincent Gray: The Beginning Of The End of The Great Warmist Scare
Gray: ‘Surely, we are at the beginning of the end. The globe has stopped warming; even when measured by the botched-up biased system that they favour. The Kyoto Protocol is dead. Emissions by former members are in steady decline compared with those from non-members. The support literature has dried up. I used to go to the University every month and photocopy the latest scientific outrage for these Newsletters. The only recent feeble attempt was the rapidly discredited attempt by Marcott to fabricate yet another Hockey Stick’
Skeptical UN IPCC Scientist Dr. Vincent Gray Blames Eco Religion for Climate Dogma
Skeptical scientist Dr. Gray: ‘Let me quote from the [IPCC 1990] Executive Summary which is on page xi…They cannot claim that current IPCC practise is capable of *predicting* any future climate, so they grub around in the past to try and pretend it can be done…There were four scenarios given in the 1990 report. All have been abandoned as unrealistic. Amongst other things, they all assumed that there would be no efforts to try and reduce greenhouse gases’
‘Nobody seems to realise that the most elaborate and comprehensive conflict of interest that has been inflicted on the public is the ‘Global Warning” Theory’…I have been an Expert Reviewer on every one of the Reports of IPCC’
