Danish Queen Blasphemes The CO2 High Priests | Real Science
Queen Margrethe’s statement that ‘you can not change the climate’ gets a cold shoulder from several environmental organizations.
The Reference Frame: CERN boss: I forbade employees to interpret our climate experiment
I am pretty much sure that Mr Heuer has heard about some people who are claiming that CO2 is important in the climate and he must know that they're allowed - and, indeed, encouraged - to "interpret" those wild speculations that are, relatively to the CLOUD experiment, supported by nothing. But he still finds it appropriate to suppress the broader findings that may follow from the research done by his very lab. This is an utterly dishonest behavior reminding us of science in the 20th century totalitarian societies and Mr Heuer should be ashamed.
We Don’t Know What Caused Past Climate Change, But We Do Know It Isn’t Responsible For Current Climate Change | Real Science
This is trivial to prove. CO2 has increased, so all previous climate change mechanisms are now defunct. CO2 is now lord and master of the universe.
Mark Lynas: Home » ocean acidification » Debate with Matt Ridley on ocean acidification
Ridley: Next, to your discussion of ocean acidification. I resent the implication that I am a “denier”. What precisely am I denying? I don’t deny that oceans are being made lower in pH by human emissions. I don’t deny that man-made emissions are affecting climate; (I question the evidence for any large effects through net positive feedbacks). And why use a word deliberately intended to draw a parallel with the offensive lie of holocaust denial? I don’t call people like you “climate change liars” when I think you exaggerate the probability of severe harm.

Lynas: Again, fair enough, and although I have used the term in the book elsewhere, I accept that the term ‘denier’ is problematic. In principle a person could call anyone he or she disagrees with a ‘denier’. In fact, due to my stance on nuclear power, I have been called a ‘Chernobyl death denier’. So the charge cuts both ways. Were I writing the book now I would perhaps be more careful about any use this term
