[
emphasis added] Bast: «We believe that climate has warmed in the second half of the 20th Century, we believe that there is probably a measurable human impact
on climate but it's probably very small, we think that natural forces probably overwhelm any impact that human activity can have, that
computer models are too unreliable to forecast what the future might hold for climate and finally that a modest amount of warming is probably going to be,
on net, beneficial both to human beings and the ecosystem.
The flaws in the alarmist position Lindzen exposed in 1992 remain the same today: the global warming scare story depends
on hopelessly inadequate
computer models which place too much
emphasis on man - made CO2 and which therefore produce a «disturbingly arbitrary» picture of the state of climate.
