Fred Singer, a meteorologist at the University of Virginia, says the world has not warmed since 1940, whereas it appears to have warmed in the half-century or so up to that point in time. While he admits he doesn’t know the cause of the warming then, he discounts the notion that it was due to human activity.
Singer made his remarks at The Hague last month during a United Nations sponsored conference that attempted to draft rules requiring cuts in greenhouse gases. Delegates to the conference ended their proceedings deadlocked.
