[the Air Vent] They do not conclude that the warming from 1850 to 1957 was human, because they cant rule out the possibility that it was a natural recovery from the Little Ice Age, perhaps caused by changes in the intensity of the Sun. It is important to recognize that when a politician or scientist claims that the warming prior to 1957 is human caused, that they are giving their own conclusion, and not representing the IPCC scientific consensus.

[RealClearPolitics - Articles] RealClearPolitics - Anthropogenic Global Warming is a Farce: Now, in the fall of 1999, the IPCC was squaring up to its all-important "Summary for Policymakers" - essentially a press release, one that eventually featured the notorious graph flatlining into nonexistence the Medieval Warm Period and displaying a terrifying, supposedly unprecedented surge in 20th-century temperatures.

Gore's sychofant operatived suffered and lost a defamation lawsuit to Singer for engaging in his deplorable and unprofessional conduct.

[Body Parts] Body Parts: The Anthropogenic Global Warming Thesis: Wrong: I have always been skeptical of the two IPCC theses, as I have voiced in this blog, (1) that the human caused rise in CO2 has through the greenhouse effect has caused a secular trend of rising average global temperature, (2) and that this rise in global temperature will cause such massive alteration of the natural environment that world-wide catastrophies will devastate the planet.
[Sex+Metropolis] Quotes from Global Warming Skeptics | Sex+Metropolis: “The models and forecasts of the UN IPCC “are incorrect because they only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity.” – Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico
[Respectful Insolence] James Randi, anthropogenic global warming, and skepticism ...: He enumerates many solar, galactic, geomagnetic, lunar, and other influences that change the temperature by quantities comparable to 1 °C per century and that are not under theoretical control. It follows that the climate "equation" that would reliably predict a century of temperature changes with such an accuracy or a better one cannot be written down at present which is a reason why sensible people shouldn't make far-reaching claims about the future temperature.
[johnosullivan] johnosullivan - A SCEPTICAL STATE OF MIND: Yet the UN’s climate panel (which reached its conclusion not by scientific analysis but by a mere show of hands on the part of its political representatives) claims greater than 90% confidence that CO2 emissions have caused most of the warming of the past half-century (IPCC, 2007, Summary for Policymakers). As we shall conclusively demonstrate, there is in fact no anthropogenic signal whatsoever in the temperature record.
[Change.org's Stop Global Warming Blog] 'Steer Into the Skid' to Maintain Momentum on Climate Legislation ...: The misinformation about the truth of anthropogenic climate change AGCC has had far, far heavier funding than the science of AGCC has for many years, with the added caveat that IPCC science has the peer-review system to keep them honest. All that corporate money has absolutely no restrictions whatsoever on the honesty of any "research" that it pays for.
[Respectful Insolence] James Randi, anthropogenic global warming, and skepticism ...: Randi pointed out at the beginning of his post that many of his readers and admirers have asked him about AGW and whether he would "turn his skeptical eye to it." Randi may have felt obligated to try to satisfy the requests of his fans. His failure clearly came as a result of his not sufficiently educating himself about the issues involved before commenting.

And think of all that wonderful new coastal realty.
[ibranz Branding Resource Blog] The Truth about Global Warming: Comparisons of historic global climate warming and cooling over the past century with PDO and NAO oscillations, glacial fluctuations, and sun spot activity show strong correlations and provide a solid data base for future climate change projections. As shown by the historic pattern of GDOs and PDOs over the past century and by corresponding global warming and cooling, the pattern is part of ongoing warm/cool cycles that last 25-30 years.
[QuickBooks-Blog.com] QuickBooks-Blog.com: Climategate, Climate Change is Natural, 100 ...: William Kininmonth, a former head of the National Climate Centre and a consultant to the World Meteorological Organisation, wrote “the likely extent of global temperature rise from a doubling of CO2 is less than 1C. Such warming is well within the envelope of variation experienced during the past 10,000 years and insignificant in the context of glacial cycles during the past million years, when Earth has been predominantly very cold and covered by extensive ice sheets.”
[Hot Air » Top Picks] Hot Air » Blog Archive » Follow the money, IPCC/AGW edition: Climategate exposed the chicanery of AGW science at East Anglia CRU, including the attempts to hide contradictory data and smear critics. This exposes a critical conflict of interest in the UN effort built on the CRU’s data. In that sense, Pachauri might be the perfect pick to lead the effort. It’s all about economics, not the climate or science at all. It’s an excuse to impose a massive transfer of wealth from developed nations to Third World dictatorships, and people like Pachauri have positioned themselves to get rich on the transactions.
