This extends the so-called 'pause' in global warming to a new record, one not predicted by the climate models of the United Nations' International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/ken-haapala#s7" style="text-decoration: none;">[7]</a> Haapala writes:“The EPA claimed that carbon dioxide emissions are pollutants that endangers human health, even though carbon dioxide is necessary for life on this planet. Green plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to create the food plants and animals need to survive.“The EPA stated that it based its finding on three lines of evidence. These lines of evidence do not exist, or no longer exist. They are: (1) a distinct human fingerprint in the atmosphere over the tropics; (2) late 20th century warming was unusual; and (3) climate models predict that human-caused warming would become dangerous to humans in the 21st century. No one, including the National Academy of Sciences, has been able to find the distinct human fingerprint except those who falsely claim such a warming is uniquely human-caused.“Late 20th century warming stopped about 18 years ago. Climate models cannot explain why, even though, according to the White House, federal expenditures on climate science and programs to fight global warming/climate change amount to about $22.5 billion a year. There is no scientific reason to assume significant warming will occur in the future from human carbon dioxide emission.“The EPA and the Obama administration have embarked on a program of eliminating electricity generation from even the most efficient and cleanest modern coal-fired power plants, without carbon capture and storage – a technology untested for general application. All this is based on a perceived threat to human health that cannot be shown to exist. It is past time to stop the madness of wasting great sums of money on EPA’s imaginary threat to human health.” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/ken-haapala#s7" style="text-decoration: none;">[7]</a>July 7 - 9, 2014Ken Haapala was a <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20140714154246/http://climateconference.heartland.org/speakers/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">speaker</a> at the <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/heartland-institute" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Heartland Institute</a>’s Ninth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC9) in Las Vegas, Nevada. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/ken-haapala#s6" style="text-decoration: none;">[6]</a>DeSmogBlog has done in-depth research on the other speakers and sponsors from Heartland's ICCC9, which can be found <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140714160136/http://www.desmogblog.com/2014/07/08/return-denial-palooza-heartland-institute-hitches-anti-science-wagon-freedomfest" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">here</a>.May 21 - 23, 2012Haapala was a <a href="http://climateconference.heartland.org/speakers/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">speaker</a> at the <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/heartland-institute" style="text-decoration: none;">Heartland Institute</a>'s 7th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC7).DeSmogBlog<a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/heartland-denial-palooza-sponsors-have-received-67-million-exxonmobil-koch-and-scaife-foundations" style="text-decoration: none;"> researched the co-sponsors behind Heartland's ICCC7</a> and found that they had collectively received over $67 million from ExxonMobil, the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Koch_Brothers" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Koch Brothers </a>and the conservative <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Scaife_Foundations" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Scaife family foundations</a>.June 2011 <a href="http://climateconference.heartland.org/speakers-2/" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Speaker </a>at the Heartland Institute's Sixth International Conference on Climate Change. March 2008Attended at the Heartland Institute's 2008 International Conference on Climate Change and <a href="http://www.climatescienceinternational.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">subsequently signed the Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change.</a> <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/ken-haapala#s1" style="text-decoration: none;">[1]</a><h2 style="line-height: 2em; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Affiliations </h2><ul style="margin: 1.5em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;"><li><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Science_and_Environmental_Policy_Project" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)</a> — Executive Vice President.</li><li>Philosophical Society of Washington — <a href="http://alexhogan.posterous.com/more-than-700-international-scientists-dissen" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Past president</a>. </li><li>Scientists and Engineers for Energy and Environment (SEEE), Northern Virginia Chapter — <a href="http://vaseee.org/index.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">Member</a>. </li></ul><h2 style="line-height: 2em; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Publications</h2>Haapala contributed to the “Petition For Reconsideration of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change” (<a href="http://www.heartland.org/custom/semod_policybot/pdf/27281.pdf" target="blank" style="text-decoration: none;">PDF</a>) in February, 2010.
