In the end, one need not know with a high degree of accuracy the intricacies of the climate's variability to show an increased warming trend: 3 Furthermore, there are no models that exist that are able to match recent observed warming without taking rising CO2 levels into account, i.e. if radiative forcings from CO2 aren't taken into account, then models don't match hindcasting.

I am no longer a «believer» in human caused global warming, there is simply no evidece for more than a small fraction of one degree C per century — and without that and the fertilisation effect of the increased CO2 that we are enjoying, the human race would starve.

Even without looking to the UEA CRU, it is obvious that there is at least some warming, and most of us accept that CO2 contributes to it, but we can no longer be sure either to what degree humans are responsible overall, nor how much of any warming is down to CO2, because the models and data on which much of the theories are based are corrupted.

So Arrhenius had a couple of wild guesses at what the warming would be from carbon dioxide after misreading Fourier and without ever having established if such a trace gas could have such great effects of raising global temperatures several degrees C, and its now a «law»?

At the London conference, 80 Professors, 60 Doctors of Science and 40 other experts, including Piers Corbyn, brother of Britain's opposition leader, who has a first - class degree in Astrophysics, were shocked to learn that the error, first introduced a generation ago when climate scientists borrowed feedback math from electronic network analysis without really understanding it, is the reason for their exaggerated predictions of how much global warming Man may cause.

The 25 D - O events during the last glacial, where temperatures rose and fell by 5 to 10 degrees C (10 - 15 degrees C for Greenland) within a span of decades that were «explained by internal variability of the climate system alone ``, deemed global in scale, and they occurred without any changes in CO2 concentrations, which stayed steady at about 180 ppm throughout the warming and cooling.

Wasdell said that the draft submitted by scientists contained a metric projecting cumulative total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, on the basis of which a «carbon budget» was estimated — the quantity of carbon that could be safely emitted without breaching the 2 degrees Celsius limit to avoid dangerous global warming.

It increases monotonically [without reversal], achieving values three and a half degrees warmer by the end of the twenty - first century.

BUT, the idea of «those who have» all settling into their new, green, lifestyles while leaving the proles (who will never afford the new housing or the solar panels or even the replacement, more efficient boiler) to go cold, hungry, and without transport seems to me a far greater danger to the future of mankind than any degree or two of warming.
