I think the following statements represent what we know and how certain we may be about the "facts"

McCain Calls Kerry-Graham-Lieberman Climate Change Plan 'A Joke' -- Politics Daily

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) Tuesday derided as "a joke" a bipartisan proposal being crafted by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), and John Kerry (D-Mass.) to address climate change since it does not spell out what to do with toxic waste that would be generated by proposed new nuclear plants.

Campbell blames climate change for 'Spring Games' - The Globe and Mail

Andrew Weaver, a leading climate-change scientist from the University of Victoria, cautioned against using a single balmy winter as proof of climate change. "You can never point to a single weather event and say it is due to global warming," he said. "The scientific community would get creamed for that."

But he said the trends do point to an increasing probability that Cypress will endure more muddy winters.

EPW POLICY BEAT: CONSENSUS EXPOSED, PART 2

Despite EPA's insistence that the IPCC assessment reports are the world's most comprehensive and accurate assessments of climate change, the flaws in the IPCC reports indicate serious deficiencies in the IPCC's peer-review process. These flaws and deficiencies should prod EPA back to the drawing board, issuing notice and comment on what the mistakes mean and how they affect EPA's conclusion that GHGs endanger public health and welfare.

Al Gore, nobody other than NY Times readers believes your crap anymore

One can’t help but wonder if Gore realizes that the more he spouts this extreme nonsense, the more he pushes the general public away from the fear he hopes to instill. To be clear, there is NOTHING in the science…even the junk science…that suggests we’re likely to face an “unimaginable calamity". It’s always funny to think that even if temperatures changed noticeably, humans would somehow be unable to adapt even though humans now live everywhere from northern Canada and Alaska’s frozen tundras to deserts of Africa and China.
