The Reference Frame: Bill Gates on global warming

At the end, the host informed us that the organizers had promised the Gates Foundation not to ask whether the foundation would get involved in climate change. Being a rat, unsurprisingly, he asked whether the foundation would get involved in climate change. Gates spends several minutes to say Nope, the foundation will continue to do things to help the poor (including those related to the availability of energy but not climate-driven).

The Global Warming Doctrine is Not a Science: Notes for Cambridge | Václav Klaus

To conclude, I agree with many serious climatologists who say that the warming we experience or is on the horizon will be very small. Convincing argumentation can be found in Ian Plimer’s recent book.[11] I agree with Bob Carter and others that it is difficult “to prove that the human effect on the climate can be measured” because “this effect is lost in the variability of natural climate changes”[12]. From the economic point of view, in case there will be no irrational interventions against it, the economic losses connected with such a modest warming will be very small. A loss generated as a result of a completely useless fight against global warming would be far greater.

Just How Bad Is GISS? | Real Science

These two March, 2011 maps from UAH and GISS show it pretty clearly. March was a very cold month in Greenland.
...
Surface temps from Weather Underground confirmed this. However, Hansen’s magic (below) made most of Greenland hot (anomalies as high as 9.9C.) GISS fabricated Arctic data is worthless, at best.
