Another Heretic Challenges the Gobal Warming Orthodoxy

Dr. Timothy Ball, a retired University of Winnipeg climatology professor, is calling shenanigans on the Global Warming movement:
Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science. We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification. For example, Environment Canada brags about spending $3.7 billion in the last five years dealing with climate change almost all on propaganda trying to defend an indefensible scientific position while at the same time closing weather stations and failing to meet legislated pollution targets.
Dr. Ball believes that current trends indicate we may soon enter a cycle of global cooling. He considers these cycles natural and outside the control of technology.

Fair Warning: the link for Dr. Ball's article has some of the most obnoxious popup ads ever.
