the founding director of the International Arctic Research Center
at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, suggests recovery from
Little Ice Age is the main contributor to global warming.

Recovery from the Little Ice Age and Global Warming"
According to Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu, the founding director of
the International Arctic Research Center of the University of
Alaska Fairbanks, global warming data often quoted by the media
and government officials should not be used to attribute global
warming to man.
In an online exclusive for The New American magazine, Dr. Akasofu,
one of the "1,000 Most Cited Scientists," is "concerned
about the inevitable backlash against science and scientists,
when the public eventually learns the correct information about
climate change," and requests the International Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) make an appropriate statement to clear up
the confusion before the next G8 meeting being held in May.

The data from the IPCC points to an increase of 0.6 degrees Celsius
per 100 years since 1800 to present as being caused by man as
a result of greenhouse gases. Dr. Akasofu claims this is misleading
because the Earth is continuing to recover from the Little Ice
Age and 0.5 degrees Celsius per 100 years can be attributed to
natural warming, leaving a fraction of the warming trend to other
causes.
Dr. Akasofu was the founding director of the International Arctic
Research Center from its establishment in 1998 until January of
2007. He has been professor of geophysics since 1964 and has published
more than 550 professional journal articles. His full paper on
the Little Ice Age is available as a PDF download from a link
in his article.
