Lord Monckton’s paper reveals that –


The IPCC’s 2007 climate summary overstated CO2’s impact on temperature by 500-2000%;

CO2 enrichment will add little more than 1 °F (0.6 °C) to global mean surface temperature by 2100;

Not one of the three key variables whose product is climate sensitivity can be measured directly;

The IPCC’s values for these key variables are taken from only four published papers, not 2,500;

The IPCC’s values for each of the three variables, and hence for climate sensitivity, are overstated;

“Global warming” halted ten years ago, and surface temperature has been falling for seven years;

Not one of the computer models relied upon by the IPCC predicted so long and rapid a cooling;

The IPCC inserted a table into the scientists’ draft, overstating the effect of ice-melt by 1000%;

It was proved 50 years ago that predicting climate more than two weeks ahead is impossible;

Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth warmed;

In the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years.

You are still an idiot I see fd.
I know what I believe...  said it often enough.
Oh and I know what my argument is.  the fact you keep being either disingenuous or stupid says much more about you.

Note - Christopher Monckton has never carried out any climate research in his life. He's just a mouth for the right wing lobby - and yes - Al Gore's a mouth too, but he doesn't attempt to write scientific papers.

The third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley is not qualified to comment on any of these things, except perhaps the reference to Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto.

- but that's by virtue of his only qualifications - a degree in classics and ancient history and by the way, a diploma in journalism.

There is no science in that report. He is not even a scientist.

I shudder to think what advice he gave Margaret Thatcher as her Science Advisor. (Although to be honest, we're not much better off with Peter Garret. )

By the way, he's another cohort of the Magnificient Seven previously mentioned. What a fine team they make

Grendel - It's quite simple. If you had a toothache, would you go to a dentist or a plumber?

So what is a 'climate scientist' Muso? The subject covers so many diverse fields: physics, biology, chemistry, oceanography, geology to name a few. How many so called climate scientists are really on top of all these fields and how many are really just going along with the bandwagon?

Arr, it seems most of what boofy posts is questionable at best but in most cases unsubstantiated bunkum that is put out there by the oil companies in order to peddle their agenda. I wonder why the world is flat brigade are sooooooooo gullible.
Tho I suspect many people like boofy have an alternate agenda, they probably earn a living from one of these companies and see it in their interest to spread the lies, luckily most aussies are far too smart for their lies.
