It amazes me what actual science comes up with when you take GOVERNMENT out of it. Here are a few of the facts that were debunked: * Global temperatures stopped rising 15 years ago despite rising levels of carbon dioxide, the invisible gas the IPCC claims is responsible for causing global warming. * Temperatures were warmer in many parts of the world approximately 1,000 years ago, during the so-called Mediaeval Warm Period. * Antarctic sea ice extent is increasing rather than shrinking. * Climate computer models fail to reproduce the observed reduction in surface warming trend over the past 10–15 years. The scientists also fault the IPCC for claiming the warming of the late twentieth century was “unequivocal” when many temperature databases show no warming, and for saying changes since 1950 were “unprecedented” when the historical record contains many examples of changes more rapid or more extreme due to natural causes. The scientists are especially critical of the IPCC’s claim that it is “95% confident” global warming is man-made and will be harmful. “This terminology is unscientific,” they write. “It has been used improperly to create a false impression of increasing statistical certainty through the most recent IPCC assessment reports. … IPCC’s quasi-numeric confidence statements represent considered ‘expert opinion,’ reflecting a process not very different from a show of hands around a discussion table. The terminology confers an impression of scientific rectitude onto a process that is inescapably subjective and has been widely criticized as misleading.”
