Willie Wei-Hock Soon (born 1966) is an astrophysicist at the Solar and Stellar Physics Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He is known for his views that most global warming is caused by solar variation.
He is chief science adviser to the Science and Public Policy Institute, an organisation which devotes most of its scientific coverage to arguing against anthropogenic global warming or playing down the effects of global warming. In 2003, he was invited to testify in the United States Senate and was later recognized, with an award, for “detailed scholarship on biogeological and climatic change over the past 1000 years” by the Smithsonian Institution. In June 2004, he was presented with the Petr Beckmann award of the by Doctors for Disaster Preparedness for “courage and achievement in defense of scientific truth and freedom.”

Dr Willie Soon is the co-author of a famous article entitled Environmental Effects of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide.

The 12-page review article rejects the human caused global warming hypothesis. The article and its conclusions is the scientific basis of the Global warming petition project where 31,486 American scientists have signed a petition, to urge the United States government to reject the Kyoto protocol -and any other similar proposal -because there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of greenhouse gases is causing catastrophic heating of the Earth´s atmosphere.

This clip is the short version of Professor Henriks Svensmark’s theory of cosmoclimatology. The clip consists of extracts from the documentary film, The Cloud Mystery. You can find more information about the film and order a Dvd copy of the film here. You can learn more about Professor Henrik Svensmark here.

Professor Henrik Svensmark is the head of the Centre for Sun-Climate Research, at DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark.

Since 1997, Svensmark spearheaded the idea that solar activity variations affect climate on Earth, through solar activity modulating of the cosmic rays reaching the Earth and the effect that these particles have on cloud cover. This idea received a significant boost with the SKY experiment that he headed, which showed under laboratory conditions how the ionization caused by cosmic rays gives rise to the formation of condensation nuclei, a necessary step in the formation of clouds.

This idea is the main theme covered in the documentary The Cloud Mystery (this link includes more information about Svensmarks theory about Cosmoclimatology as well as links to other scientists involved in the research findings. The Cloud Mystery Dvd can be ordered online as well)

Here is a brief and simple overview of Cosmoclimatology.
