You be the judge...
And rather than relying on the poorly argued claims quoted by Janice,
why not read the actual research and discover the empty rhetoric on
which global warming denial is built.
Luckily people have come to realize this simple fact.
<quote>Bob Carter has quoted Kevin Trenberth in a highly selective way
here. Perhaps he didn't read the rest of his blog, like this
paragraph,
"The IPCC report makes it clear that there is a substantial future
commitment to further climate change even if we could stabilize
atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. And the commitment is
even greater given that the best we can realistically hope for in the
near term is to perhaps stabilize emissions, which means increases in
concentrations of long-lived greenhouse gases indefinitely into the
future. Thus future climate change is guaranteed."
The one immediately after also seems a bit at odds with Bob's position,
"So if the science is settled, then what are we planning for and
adapting to? A consensus has emerged that ¿warming of the climate
system is unequivocal¿ to quote the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment
Working Group I Summary for Policy Makers (pdf) and the science is
convincing that humans are the cause. Hence mitigation of the problem:
stopping or slowing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere is
essential. The science is clear in this respect."

Reading it and making up your own mind might be better than letting
Bob do it for you.</quote>
