All a person needs to know about “climate change” is that it’s the same thing we used to call “the weather” back during the time when the majority of the people living on the planet were sane and there weren’t so many greedy con men out there running scams to steal other people’s money.

Hey, to those concerned about AGW: cook up a plan to replace coal plants with nukes and I'll sign on.
Oh, and stop ripping down hydro plants and devising schemes to further snarl traffic by tolling roads.
Oh, and end all legal and tax-based obstacles to telecommuting.
But you really aren't going to do those things now, are you?

A 19-page guide prepared by leading international scientists, including society fellows, is an honest account of where climate change science is clear and where it is less certain, such as the impact of energy emitted by the sun. What would the temperature of earth be without the sun?
Simple question. Inconvenient answer.

and anything we experience weather-wise today, someone else has experienced before in years gone by.

This is so depressing:
“...pursuing the cautionary, responsible approach long advocated by The Weekend Australian. The society cites strong evidence that increases in greenhouse gases due to human activity are the dominant cause of global warming.”
HE’S DEAD, JIM!

...an honest account of where climate change science is clear and where it is less certain, such as the impact of energy emitted by the sun. LOL - "honest account." Not counting value weighting, of course - just listing everything as equal, including the sun's impact on climate.
A similiar "honesty" would be like saying: "We are extremely clear about the exact color of the paint on this nuclear warhead. We are not so clear about the power of the warhead itself, however, which continues to be debated by experts contending everything from a firecracker all the way up to the hundred-kiloton range. But let us be clear - we are making an honest account here of both the paint color and the fact that we fully admit that the nuclear bomb does, indeed, have some level of danger to it."

A 19-page guide [...] is an honest account of Beware any (ANY) document that starts out with "this is an honest account".

Very true. I am still waiting for the Delaware temperatures to exceed the summer of 1930, almost half the days had temperatures of over 90 degrees F, and the highest recorded temperature was set during that year as well. After more than 80 years, that record still hasn’t been beat, both for the summer as well as for the single-day temperature. Never mind the fact that people didn’t have A/C during that time. The start of the 20th century was hotter than it is now. Believe it.

Excellent post.
No matter what the “crisis” is, the solution proposed by the left is always totalitarianism.

The 43 society members now believe the society's previous position was too strident and implied a greater degree of certainty than was justified. Implied? Try CLAIMED! This is a whitewash.

The Royal Society sets out a strong case for pursuing the cautionary, responsible approach long advocated by The Weekend Australian. The society cites strong evidence that increases in greenhouse gases due to human activity are the dominant cause of global warming.Seems like the same old stuff repackaged with a new label.

I was born in 1966. The world should have ended half a dozen times already, if you listen to people getting paid to say it, plus we’ve all died of cancer, food additives, and electricity. And alcohol.
Maybe that explains all the zombies in the news ...
