Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered

Ok, if you really want to go deep into this you might want to have some ice available to cool off your cranium but this is an excerpt:

"Such solecisms throughout the IPCC’s assessment reports (including the insertion, after the scientists had completed their final draft, of a table in which four decimal points had been right-shifted so as to multiply tenfold the observed contribution of ice-sheets and glaciers to sea-level rise), combined with a heavy reliance upon computer models unskilled even in short-term projection, with initial values of key variables unmeasurable and unknown, with advancement of multiple, untestable, non-Popper-falsifiable theories, with a quantitative assignment of unduly high statistical confidence levels to non-quantitative statements that are ineluctably subject to very large uncertainties, and, above all, with the now-prolonged failure of TS to rise as predicted (Figures 1, 2), raise questions about the reliability and hence policy-relevance of the IPCC’s central projections."

If your interest is piqued here's the link:

Bottom line is there are a lot of issues that need to be ironed out before ANYONE can present man made "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" as fact and anyone that does is being less than truthful about it or is so completely blinded by the agenda that they have lost all objectivity on the matter!

I would say there's a lot of fairness in that statement...
