Rex Tillerson (Exxon Mobil) on Climate Change (energy/climate realism trumps alarmism) — MasterResource

At the May 29, 2013, annual meeting of Exxon Mobil in Dallas, CEO Rex Tillerson adroitly responded to questions concerning the human influence on climate and energy choices in light of climate science. His points? The science is uncertain as to the magnitude of change; there has not been warming in the last decade; and fossil fuels are necessary for the masses, particularly the energy poor.

An Engineer’s Take On Major Climate Change | Watts Up With That?

The current spike in atmospheric CO2 would most likely be larger than now observed if human beings had never evolved...Atmospheric CO2 has a tertiary to non-existent impact on the instigation and amplification of climate change. CO2 is not pivotal. Modulations to atmospheric CO2 are the effect of climate change and not the cause.

Ed Davey makes the silliest speech ever – Telegraph Blogs

[Delingpole] What interests me about this section is that it shows how, in the sphere of green fruit-loopery, the understanding of the nature of the argument, or what it is that climate sceptics think, has not moved on since Al Gore laid down the ground rules in An Inconvenient Truth. Still we're asked to believe that somewhere out there are these nice, decent, serious sceptical types who quite rightly do all the proper "challenging, checking and probing" and that these are to be contrasted with the nasty denier types who are doing it for because they're just evil. This is a) a classic case of the "motive fallacy" (if sceptics are right, they're right regardless of whether they're funded by Big Oil or whether they're doing it purely out of the goodness of their hearts) and b) utter bollocks. Anyone who engages in the kind of "challenging, checking and probing" Davey professes to approve of is absolutely guaranteed NOT to get any kind of fair hearing from the Climate Change establishment, but rather to be vilified, denied funding, preferment or airtime, and dismissed as a raving nutcase.
