Top Danish Daily Asks 'Is Sun
The Real Climate Villain?' 
Full Front Page Story Of Danish 'Berlingske'

3-17-7

This major cover story is done on a black background, with a giant picture of a glowing hot Sun. Here is a translation:
 
"Can over 300 experts on the UN climate panel be wrong? They can, according to the leading Danish researcher, Henrik Svensmark. He thinks that when the Earth sweats, it is probably due to the Sun. And, for the time being, Svensmark's theories can not be brushed aside."
 
The Text: 
 
"While the hottest environmental debate in the world concerns how man can stop global warming, a respected Danish researcher goes against the current. He puts a great deal of the responsibility far out in the universe -- all the way up to the Sun. 
 
"Henrik Svensmark is the leader of the Danish National Space Research Center's solar climate research, and if you believe him and his research, all of the worldwide and wildly expensive initiatives to reduce the leakage of CO2, will not have any significant effect on the globe's heat stroke. 
 
''To assert that CO2 is the only explanation for the current global warming, is wrong. The Sun has probably had a great share in the warming throughout the last 100 years, and, if we go back longer in time, the Sun has been the dominating factor in climate change,' he says. 
 
"Henrik Svensmark's research is being increasingly taken seriously, even by the UN climate panel, which used a whole 10 hours to discuss especially his theory about the Sun's influence, before they released the latest and widely talked-about report about CO2's importance for the current warming. 
 
"The 49-year-old researcher has also just published a popular science book. 
 
 
Inside the paper, there is a two-page "Focus" spread about Svensmark's theories and research, entitled, "The Dane Who Challenges the World's Climate Researchers," including a big picture of Svensmark in the middle, as covered in the Feb. 28 briefing. Then, Svensmark is asked specifically about the CO2 theory: 
 
"Well, I acknowledge that CO2 can play a role... " Then he continues, "There are many who assert that global warming is a catastrophe, which we should avoid. I am not at all sure that it is a catastrophe, and it is unscientific to assert that is the case. The climate models which lay the basis for the IPCC's predictions, are not reliable enough for such predictions."

 THE OFFICIAL WEBPAGE FOR THE COUNTRY OF DENMARK, www.denmark.dk has two news items, one of which is about Svensmark's research, according to an accompanying article entitled "The Global Climate Battle." It continues to report on the battle between Svensmark and the CO2 people, including at the IPCC (reporting that during the 10-hour debate in the UN climate panel, after listening to Svensmark, China and Saudi Arabia prevented writing down the Sun's role in the climate from 40 to 20% percent). It then talks about Nigel Calder's popularization of Svensmark's work, the British Channel 4 program, and the harassment of CO2 critics, including the death threats against the Canadian researcher Ball. It also reports that American Prof. Carl Wunsch who was interviewed for the program has repudiated the way his interview was shown, which he says "was closer to straight propaganda than anything since World War II." The article states that the most significant criticism of Svensmark's theory is probably from Eigil Kaas, from the Danish Meteorological Institute, who points out that since 1950, the cosmic radiation has been constant, although there has been an increase in global warming. The article ends by saying that we laymen need facts, not feelings and political pep talks, and therefore, it is important that in the scientific landscape, there is room for a Svensmark.. Note that {Berlingske Tidende} was taken over by British media group Mecom, headed up by David Montgomery, in the summer of 2006. It turns out that the Senior Non-Executive Director, Sir in English, just as his research plays a central role in a highly provocative and debate-creating British documentary program with the title, 'The Great Global Warming Swindle.'
