Man-Made Global-Warming Quiz by Jim Cox

If you answered "c" in each case you are eligible to join the man-made global-warming movement. If you answered anything but "c" in every case you are subject to ad hominem attacks from man-made global-warming scientists.

Spencer became particularly interested in clouds when he learned about a key assumption climate modelers make when predicting future global warming: Warmer average temperatures will result in reduced cloud cover. What if that assumption had it backwards? What if reduced cloud cover were causing the warmer temperatures? "If you get that wrong," Spencer told me when I met him at a conference this summer, "then you get a totally wrong answer in terms of how much warming there will be as a result of us putting more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."

Antarctic Questions

Satellite-deduced surface temperature and ice core proxies for temperature in the interior over the past 200 years, although based on only eight records distributed over the ice sheet, suggests no discernible trend over recent decades, but a 0.2°C warming for the past century.

Taking these observations into account, I maintain it is a brave scientist who looks at the data, especially the warming of the Antarctic Peninsula, as sees the unequivocal influence of mankind because “the climate models predict the greatest warming in the polar regions.”
