Piers Corbyn: Open letter to The Guardian | Climate Realists

You say that (man-made) climate change is "a scientific theory supported by thousands of peer-reviewed papers.." Well I say that these papers are of the nature 'dogs chase cats and we believe in man-made climate change' ie they contain findings and statements of belief which do not follow from the findings.

So a challenge to you. Produce for me ONE scientific paper that shows, using as reasonably large data sets as possible that changes in CO2 levels in the recent (ie last million or so years) DRIVE changes in world temperature (and if also possible circulation patterns). I am not talking about 'it must be so', 'models show', type of arguments. These flights to authority are but conspiracy theories in other clothes. I am talking about observed facts (or accepted proxies for observations) in the real atmosphere and real world. You have one month - ie to SEPT 1st.

Keep in mind that the belief in a bogeyman, like global warming, "presents a framework to explain the occurrence of otherwise random misfortunes," examples being heat waves, droughts, floods, glacial calving, extreme cold or heat, snowstorms, or unorthodox views.

Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) becomes the equivalent symbol of man's evil, a byproduct of an advanced civilization that needs penitence and absolution.

And the mainstream media? Those minions for journalistic ethics, sworn to report the facts, gobble up the mass hysteria like a Thanksgiving Day dinner. They stuff themselves on flimsy evidence, political machinations, ill-conceived computer models, tampered data, quickly falling into a turgid, happy stupor.
