The media and political rhetoric is that the climate is getting warmer as CO2 levels increase. If life was so simple, you might expect some type of correlation between CO2 and average global temperatures; but we don't. In fact, there are a great many reasons to be sceptical of such claims. These include:
1. The lack of knowledge that researchers have about the climate. A great many questions are still being asked and a great many answers are surprising researchers.
2. The lack of historical record of the sun's variations in global electromagnetic radiation, i.e. sunspot activity and solar flares
3. The lack of clarity about the role of water in the atmosphere, et al.
4. The broad-based poor state of science. Read this article: “The Truth Wears Off: Is there something wrong with the scientific method?” by Jonah Lehrer, The New Yorker,
website, 13th Dec 2010.
5. The political conflict of interest - both of researchers and politicians
6. The tendency of certain researchers to seek political sanction rather than scientific resolutions
7. The arguments when some of the climate change advocates actually front up to sceptics. There is one debate on YouTube between MIT and NASA counterparties.
Follow this widget yourself and observe the climate 'change'; its like watching grass grow; except CO2 levels are rising :) There is an accurate temperature record
here - current data.
