Mike Thomas: Science of global warming doesn't support the hype -- OrlandoSentinel.com
Did last week have anyone questioning global warming?

Think how people in Chicago feel. They're going through the coldest winter in a quarter-century, and the ninth-coldest of all time.

Of course, none of this contradicts the theory that we are turning Planet Earth into a convection oven.

It goes something like this: If the planet is warm, it is because of global warming. If the planet is cold, it is in spite of global warming.

Responses to some Readers’ Enquiries about the Scientific Paper Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered (Physics & Society, July 2008)

A personal statement by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley

SEVERAL readers have written to me to enquire why the July 2008 edition of Physics and Society carries a disclaimer saying that my scientific paper Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered, published in that edition, was “not peer-reviewed”. This memorandum tells the strange story of how this mendacious disclaimer came to appear above my paper some days after publication. Annex 1 reveals the reviewer’s comments on the paper, in full.

Tim Ball: Global warming a manmade political message to be etched in stone with stimulus package $400-million
George Bernard Shaw’s comment that, “A man never tells you anything until you contradict him” certainly applies to promoters of human caused global warming. They react quickly and predictably to contradictions identified in the ‘consensus’ climate science. The pattern of the reactions identifies what is wrong with the practice of climate science. It also shows why the consensus should not serve as the basis for any energy or economic policy.

The US economic stimulus package includes $400 million for climate research, but it isn’t needed because the science is settled. But sarcasm aside, the money will not improve the science because government funding goes to thwart not to advance science. Up to now money was used to prove an hypothesis not disprove it as is the normal scientific method and this practice will not change. Every time evidence emerges questioning the hypothesis it becomes the focus for a counterattack.
