Global Warming Hoax Weekly Round-Up, Nov. 25th 2010 « The Daily Bayonet
it’s time to don the gloves and touch some junk (science, that is).
Met Office : Natural Variability Caused Man Made Slowdown | Real Science
The Met Office agrees that the rate of warming has slowed – but it maintains that is due to natural variability.
....
Global warming has slowed in the last decade, according to the Met Office, as the world pumps out so much pollution it is reflecting the sun’s rays and causing a cooling effect.
Met Office : Coal Fired Power Plants Cause Warming And Cooling (When Convenient) | Real Science
During periods when they believe the Earth’s temperature is warming, they blame the warming on CO2 from burning coal. During periods when the Earth is not warming, they blame it on sulfates from burning coal.

It’s Naomi Oreskes reasoning which is scary.

Some people just can’t think.

Naomi Oreskes “reasons” by Remarkable Parallels, which is as bogus a way of thinking as any tea-leaf-incantation that we thought we left behind in the caves. She thinks that because she can find parallels between Tobacco and Climate Sceptics, therefore sceptics are wrong about climate sensitivity due to a trace gas. Go figure why anyone struggles to analyse ice cores when they could have just done a google search?

I can find remarkable parallels between Lysenko and modern climate science, but I don’t bother writing a book on it. If I want answers about the climate I look at the data from the planet, not data about personalities.

It must be CO2 because we can't think of anything else.

It must be reflective pollution because we can't think of anything else.

Is there a pattern here?
