Certainty Vs. Uncertainty: Understanding Scientific Terms About Climate Change

I call bs on you.

#2: "But evidence for the threat would have to be much more convincing than the IPCC has produced with regard to our impact on climate."

Have you read the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) for yourself? Or is that based on second hand accounts? And, if based on second hand accounts, whose? Rush Limbaugh's.

#2: "They have taken one of half a dozen or more theories about climate change, and hyped it out of all proportion to its merit."

Name just *one* other theory of the measured warming since 1970 whose "merit," in your opinion, is equal to or greater than the Greenhouse Gas Theory. For extra credit, link any peer reviewed science directly comparing that theory to AGW Theory.

#2: "Perhaps as many as 20 scientists, geographers and computer programmers are at the heart of this, and the climategate emails reveal that politics rather than science was their driving motivation."

A survey of 3146 earth scientists asked the question "Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" (Doran 2009)...97.5% of climatologists who actively publish research on climate change responded yes.

The ONLY real crimes in "climategate" were theft of data from University of East Anglia, and massive wrong-wing defamation of climate scientists, based on a combination of malicious and grossly ignorant misinterpretation of the stolen data.
