In fact i am highly sceptical that this would be the case, as should you be. @Sqrl, He has very valid reasons for appearing arrogant about this, considering the high percentage of support from the international community. Even though the quote makes him appear ridiculously close minded i agree with some who have insisted that it is way past the point of debate IF we are to actually try and prevent things escalating out of hand. |
It is fairly unbelievable because what's been stated are fairly simple and damning matters of fact.
If you followed them up... your opinion really should of changed.
The "not statistically signficant in the last 15 years" itself is ridiculiously damning if you know anything about current global warming theory. It pretty much destroys all the climate models that currently exist.
One major reason is that the tempeture measuring records like the tempeture stations methods were VERY problematic and unscientifically done. They didn't account for ubran sprawn and urban warming effect, stations were dropped and re-added etc... the oceans were generally ignored.
Satellite data is the only good form of tempeture measurement. Which has only been used for like... well 10-15 years.
All the science is based on very poor methods of unrepresentive tempeture measurement. In reality we know... pretty much NOTHING. Except that there has been no global warming trend for the last 10-15 years. Yet people are 100% sure global warming is happening.
If something isn't statistically significant yet says they're 100% it's happening... they are no real scientist.
