    OK.

    There has been a slight temp rise but not as much as the experts predicted.

    Nor do they know the cause of this temp rise.

    It's always been a range.

    Dude, you're so 90's. They've already given up on global warming, it's called climate change now. Every time alarmist are proven wrong by the data, they just rename it.

    Get with the program.

    IT always amuses me at the fervour which is displayed by the denialosphere when they find A scientist (out of thousands and any scientist will do) to say they were wrong about ONE minor aspect of the field

    In this case the scientist is NOT a climatologist, is not affiliated except in the broadest broadest sense with climatology and was mouthing his own opinion

    So how is that news?

    How has that changed any of the thousands of research papers which have collectively analysed millions of pieces of data to show that climate change is happening??

    I'll help them out.

    Climate Change - Duh, what it says, Climate Change.

    Global Warming - Duh, what it says, Global Warming.

    Global Warming leads to, you guessed it, Climate Change!

    It's not a renaming.

    Depressing isn't it? They do not understand the difference between climate change and global warming but think they have the right to the same opinion as someone with a PHD in climatology

    You will NEVER get them to understand the term "confidence intervals"

    It's like they think if I say, "I can get this ball within 5 to 10 metres of the target," and if miss by 7 metres they go, "HA! You said 5 or 10!"

    No, it's a range! It means anything in between!

    James Lovelace could be called of if not the father of climate science.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lovelock

    And he admits to have mislead you into a hysterical and unrealistic fear of man-made global warming.

    Ouch!!!! You have just pushed the climate-ista god off the cliff. There will be pandemonium, chaos, it's over. These climate-ista zealots will never be the same.

    Actually, they will make up some other goofy (*)(*)(*)(*) to take our money.

    We didnt need millions of pieces of data to chow that the climate changes. It has since the birth of this planet.

    Climate Change has happened throughout the history of this planet. Strangely enough Global Cooling will also cause Climate Change. Go fig.

    We were all going to freeze or starve to death in the 1970's.

    These scientists are humans and therefore prone to being wrong, deceitful for political reasons, and greedy for funding.

    You're either lying or ignorant, which one?

    About 3 scientists in the 1970s said we were heading for an ice age. They were quickly given a spanking by the rest of the scientists in the field.

    So, did you know this and lie or did you not know this and spoke out of ignorance?

    Unfortunately all they have done is pull down all the James Lovelock statues that they used to pray to.

    Now he's a fallen god to them.

    I think the key quote from this story is this one:

    There you have it.

    This man does not depend on the Church of Man-made Global Warming for his funding.

    Or a job.

    At 92 he has nothing to fear from the polar bear inquisition and therefore no incentive to lie for them.

    Libs should take note because it is you that Al Gore and the climate scientists are lying to.

    Um, no, it needs to be demonstrated the scientists, not just a handful, were saying that we were heading for an ice age in the 1970s. That's how it works.

    You guys make a bull(*)(*)(*)(*) claim YOU have to back it up, otherwise it can safely be ignored.

    I never gave a number of scientists. The media also certainly hyped the coming ice age and they are hyping MMGW.

    YOU did give a number, and I called you out on it. So prove it or slink away.

    Wow those "Three" Scientists must have had a lot of friends at Time to make Cover stories in 1977 and 1973. "The Big Freeze" and "How to survive the coming ice age".

    But sure it was just "Three" scientists....
