Click here for video of presentation Some excerpts from video. How can perfectly intelligent people, even those with a science background, support the idea of a climate Armageddon? The issue of climate change is not simply one of proving who is right and who is wrong, and not about the IPCC and it's sort of alarmist reports. To understand the positions taken by governments, one needs to look at the issue in a much broader context. Let me start with what we agree upon: - Most Man-Made CO2 that was put into the atmosphere was done after 1940. - The temperature increased slightly from 1950 to 1970. - Since 1998, the rise in temperature has stalled. - We would be hard pressed to prove the temperature - CO2 relationship by the quality of data that is out there. - There is no consistent temperature data over the last cenury or so.
