Dr. Claude Allegre, geochemist, was one of the first scientists to claim that global warming was man made but now after nearly 20 years of study he is now ready to recant, this in today’s National Post (LINK)

To his surprise, the many climate models and studies failed dismally in establishing a man-made cause of catastrophic global warming. Meanwhile, increasing evidence indicates that most of the warming comes of natural phenomena. Dr. Allegre now sees global warming as over-hyped and an environmental concern of second rank.

Now before all you naysayers start in on this man I suggest you read the entire article and see just what his credentials are. This man knows what he is talking about, he is not a politician turned environmentalist but an environmental scientist.

Dr. Allegre is willing to admit that his initial assessment was wrong and that "The cause of this climate change is unknown," he states matter of factly. There is no basis for saying, as most do, that the "science is settled."
