Specifically the peer-reviewed study projects a 90% probability range of a global warming of 3.5 to 7.4 degrees Celsius by 2100 with a median probability of surface warming of 5.2 degrees Celsius.

global-warming

Thirty years ago, there was a sort of a political split between the Oak Ridge community, which included biology, and people who were doing these fluid dynamics models, which don’t include biology. They got the lion’s share of money and attention. And since then, this group of pure modeling experts has become dominant.
these models are very good tools for understanding climate, but they are not good tools for predicting climate

- the basic problem is that in the case of climate, very small structures, like clouds, dominate. And you cannot model them in any realistic way. They are far too small and too diverse
- So they say, ‘We represent cloudiness by a parameter,’ but I call it a fudge factor. So then you have a formula, which tells you if you have so much cloudiness and so much humidity, and so much temperature, and so much pressure, what will be the result... But if you are using it for a different climate, when you have twice as much carbon dioxide, there is no guarantee that that’s right. There is no way to test it.
- if you change the carbon dioxide drastically by a factor of two, the whole behavior of the plant is different
- They are totally missing the biological side, which is probably more than half of the real system.
- And the question is, how does it happen that they end up believing their models?
- You sit in front of a computer screen for 10 years and you start to think of your model as being
  The whole livelihood of all these people depends on people being scared.”
  real.
- I am not saying none of these consequences are happening. I am just questioning whether they are harmful.
- five times as many people die of cold in winters as die of heat in summer
- Anything that looks bad is reported, and anything that looks good is not reported.
- Take the shrinking of glaciers, which certainly has been going on for 300 years and has been well documented.
- First of all, it is mainly in the Arctic. Secondly, it’s mainly in the winter rather than summer. And thirdly, it’s mainly in the night rather than at the daytime. In all three respects, the warming is happening where it is cold, not where it is hot.

global-warming

the work of literally thousands of oceanographers, solar physicists, biologists, atmospheric scientists, geologists, and snow and ice researchers during the past 100 years is fundamentally flawed
All of Plimer's arguments have been addressed ad nauseam by patient climate scientists on websites or in the literature

- It is hard to understate the depth of scientific ignorance that the inclusion of this information demonstrates. It is comparable to a biologist claiming that plants obtain energy from magnetism rather than photosynthesis.

U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works

Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming.
