797960 2009-08-06 09:35:00 No I'm not a particle scientist, and i don't become personal when trying to argue a point either. I find those that don't understand an issue or that do not have valid evidence to back their case tend to vilify their opponent rather than engage in reasoned debate.

A very simple site that would be a good place to start-

www.friendsofscience.org


As far as the IPCC-

"How do such people become numbered among the IPCC's famed "2,500 top scientists" from around the world? Prof. Reiter, wanting to know, wrote the IPCC with a series of detailed questions about its decision-making process. It replied: "The brief answer to your question below is 'governments.' It is the governments of the world who make up the IPCC, define its remit and direction. The way in which this is done is defined in the IPCC Principles and Procedures, which have been agreed by governments." When Prof. Reiter checked out the "principles and procedures," he found "no mention of research experience, bibliography, citation statistics or any other criteria that would define the quality of 'the world's top scientists.'"

Three Australasian researchers have shown that natural forces are the dominant influence on climate, in a study just published in the highly-regarded Journal of Geophysical Research. According to this study little or none of the late 20th century global warming and cooling can be attributed to human activity.

The research, by Chris de Freitas, a climate scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, John McLean (Melbourne) and Bob Carter (James Cook University), finds that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a key indicator of global atmospheric temperatures seven months later. As an additional influence, intermittent volcanic activity injects cooling aerosols into the atmosphere and produces significant cooling.


possibly a physicist in this bunch...

797963 2009-08-06 11:21:00 Its been a most miserably cold winter here in Auckland I have already burnt through the amount of wood that would last to September.
Scientists were saying we are moving into another mini ice age a few years ago. I think these scientists are correct and the global warming ones get a big fat fail. On dunce hat and sit quietly in back of lab.

797965 2009-08-06 11:37:00 Al Gore a fraud. Just watching 20/20 and they showed a computer generated shot of some massive ice shelves and how Al Gore used that shot in his doco. mikebartnz (21)
