Global Warming Debunked?

limbicsystem writes, "I'm a scientist. I like Al Gore. I donate to the Sierra club, I bicycle everywhere and I eat granola. And I just read a very convincing article in the UK Telegraph that makes me think that the 'scientific consensus' on global warming is more than a little shaky. Now IANACS (I am not a climate scientist). And the Telegraph is notoriously reactionary. Can anyone out there go through this piece and tell me why it might be wrong? Because it seems to be solid, well researched, and somewhat damning of a host of authorities (the UN, the editors of Nature, the Canadian Government) who seem to have picked a side in the global warming debate without looking at the evidence." The author of the Telegraph piece is Christopher Monckton, a retired journalist and former policy advisor to Margaret Thatcher.

It is wrong

and I'll tell you why. You see global warming is one of the atheist apocalypses like peak oil. Atheism uses science to explain their faith, and atheists dominate science sources on the Internet and will debunk anything that proves their theories are wrong. You will get the pseudoscience label for one, and for another you will be called an idiot, etc. The works of people like Richard Dawkins are part of the atheist bible, and Dawkins is the Jerry Falwell of atheism anyway. Al Gore is one of the new atheism prophets and debunking him is blasphemy now.

No but you, Richard Dawkins, and Al Gore are on crack. Keep your filthy habits to yourself.

OK, that quote made me read the article

And if you believe anything that article has to say, I've got some beachfront property to sell you in Arizona...

From a quick overview, they've distorted: the "hockey stick", the climate trends in Europe, and actual history. These guys are certifiable loons.
