Quote:Yes, they did.
Oh really? They lied did they?
Quote:Professor Mitchell is not a lead author in the IPCC. He was. That was back when he lent his professional credentials to supporting the IPCC's unanimous conclusions that man-made global warming is factual. He no longer is, and could not be, since he's calling it "a swindle". The site does not mention this, of course, because they are leeching off the IPCC's credibility, despite presenting an argument that is directly opposing the IPCC's conclusions. If they had any intellectual honesty at all, they would clearly and directly state that they oppose the IPCC's conclusions, instead of using their well-respected name to land credence to the assertions of their "independant expert".
Met Office Director of Climate Science, Professor Mitchell has spent over 30 years working in this field. He is a lead author in the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and a world expert in the effects of greenhouse gases and related pollutants.
Your site lied. Your side lies. It lies all the time. It twists and distorts evidence and blatently lies about the scientific consensus on the topic - which, whether you like it or not, is overwhelmingly in favour of global warming being both real and largely caused by human activity.
I would suggest that if your side had a scientific leg to stand on, it would not need to resort to bullshit like this.
If you're pro-critical thinking, kindly go back and start rebutting where I posted links to the statements of the Joint Science Academies, the American Meteorological Society, the Federal Climate Change Science Program, and the Geological Society of America, all of which explicitly and firmly supported that man-made global warming is a fact.
If you're pro-critical thinking, kindly explain why there was not a single published scientific abstract between 1993 and 2003 that disputed the scientific consensus on global warming.
If you're pro-criticial thinking, start by admitting that the scientific consensus is overwhelmingly against your position instead of pretending it isn't because that makes you look like you're wrong.
