AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW FROM DOWN UNDER
Quite clearly, Dr. Hayhoe and I are both credible professional scientists. Given our training and research specializations, we are therefore competent to assess the evidence regarding the dangerous global warming that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) alleges is being caused by industrial carbon dioxide emissions.
Yet at the end of her article Dr. Hayhoe recommends for further reading the websites RealClimate.org and SkepticalScience.com, whereas here at the outset of writing my own article I recommend the websites wattsupwiththat.com and www.thegwpf.org (Global Warming Policy Foundation). To knowledgeable readers, this immediately signals that Dr. Hayhoe and I have diametrically opposing views on the global warming issue.
The general public finds it very hard to understand how such strong disagreement can exist between two equally qualified persons on a scientific topic, a disagreement that is manifest also on the wider scene by the existence of equivalent groups of scientists who either support or oppose the views of the IPCC about dangerous anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming (DAGW).
In this article I shall try to summarize what the essential disagreement is between these two groups of scientists, and show how it has come to be misrepresented in the public domain.
------------------------
It is one of the more extraordinary facts about the IPCC that the research studies it favours mostly proceed using an (unjustified) inversion of the null hypothesis – namely that global climate changes are presumed to be due to human-related carbon dioxide emissions, unless and until specific evidence indicates otherwise.

First, came fear of global cooling. Second, came fear of global warming. Third, came fear of climate change.
It is absolutely the most comical use of science jargon and science statistics that has ever been invented.
Excellent article, thank you for posting it.
It doesn’t really matter since it has ceased to exist over a decade ago.
I absolutely remember this. It was dumber the the current scam of AGW. We just need the government’s help with the climate!

Good article. Read and shared to FB. Thanks.
Global Warming on Free Republic
The global warming alarmists believe in the principle: "Guilty until proven innocent."Close -- they say "guilty, it's impossible to prove innocence, the debate is over, pay Al Gore as you go out."
