American Thinker: CO2 driven global warming is not supported by the data

Science is about the data. Science is not about consensus or authority.

The linear global warming of the last century was similar to that of two centuries ago. The oscillating warming by 0.67 deg C from 1976 to 1998 is as natural as the oscillating cooling by similar amount from 1878 to 1911. From Figure 4, there is no shift in mean global temperature anomaly in the last century as a result of CO2 emission. None.

CO2 driven global warming is not supported by the data.

Eco-apocalypticism: global warming & the historical case for skepticism

The accelerating moral panic about alleged global warming and its projected catastrophic effects is a fundamentally religious phenomenon. Despite its pretensions, it is not primarily about science. Rather, it represents the emergence of a new religious movement (an NRM, or what used to be called a ‘cult’). This new form of eco-fundamentalism is characterized by a widely excessive faith in science, a hatred and despair at Humanity, an intolerance of opposition or even skepticism, and a near hysterical form of secular Apocalypticism.

Apocalypticism is the dogmatically held belief that the world and/or all human civilization will shortly come to a catastrophic end. Apocalypticism was initially a religious phenomenon and has had a firm grip on the culture of the West for some 2500 years, reaching fever-pitch on many occasions, including in the 20th century, which was one of the most Apocalyptically-obsessed periods in history.
