Climate realist James M. Taylor speaks in Chicago

Excerpt from this article:

...he scorned the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC is a task force created by the United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization; its stated goal is “to provide the decision makers and others interested in climate change with an objective source of information about climate change.”

The IPCC was the co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, along with former vice president Al Gore, for its work in advancing people’s understanding of global warming. Taylor challenged the veracity of the IPCC’s reports, saying that it censors them by not publishing “tens of thousands” of criticisms of its contention that climate change is occurring. In his opinion, the IPCC’s omissions of critique render its claims irrelevant.

Nonetheless, whether it is because of the IPCC’s reports or Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth, acceptance of global warming as a fact has spread, particularly in the mainstream media.

In Taylor’s view, the reason climate change has gotten to be such a hot story is simple: global warming sells. When comparing the “media’s unsupported assertions” with the body of evidence he marshaled, he concluded that these stories may sell, but they’re a bunch of hot air.
