The tipping point: Global warming "deniers" may have the last laugh

The tipping point: Global warming "deniers" may have the last laugh

Each month it seems another significant figure in the scientific community comes forward to express skepticism about human-induced "global warming" (now re-branded as "climate change" since it's tougher to disprove).

I think this year will be the year we look back and say "Hah, remember when there was this huge movement of self-righteous but scientifically clueless lay people running around screaming about human induced global warming despite so little evidence?"

The latest skeptic is David Evans who helped produce models for global warming for Australia for six years.

Check out the full article here.

The beauty of this particular debate is that the people who have argued that human carbon emissions (CO2 in particular) are causing it have been so obnoxious, so smug that it will be a pleasure to say "I told you so."  On almost every other topic, friends and family will come to me for my opinion on some scientific issue but on this particular one, nope, suddenly my opinion is based on "ignorance" or I've been "brainwashed" by "big oil". These are the people who watch An Inconvenient Truth and suddenly think they're climatologists. Oh right, temperature has gone up since 1976, CO2 is a green house gas. It too has gone up. We make a lot of the stuff. Therefore, we must be the cause.  So simple. So convenient. That has to be the answer...

Perhaps you should check your sources and further delve into the origin and information about the article u mention..Try some fact checking next time particularly on the author of the article and some of the misinformation websites he is associated with.

Dr David Evans was a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office from 1999 to 2005. His information goes along with the majority of scientists in the world and the only person challenging it is you. Please show me where you got this information.

Davi Evans is a member of the Lavoisier Group which is a misinformation group founded by an executive of an Australian mining company. Google it!

Use google to trace it....and when u get to websites that aren't known to be fairly reputable you can usually research the domain name to see if a corporate interest is the domain registrant.

You can only do that if you beleive in the 6 degrees of spearation and that if you can find it, then it must be true.
