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.

    This is /. buddy, what you'll get is a bunch of reasons why its right or wrong from people that didn't read the article.

    Obviously. Anything nuclear is evil. That's why I've proposed legislation to ban anything with a nucleus to end this threat to the American way of life once and for all.

    Well I live in Canada, and I'm SERIOUSLY pissed off because these assholes have been promising me Global Warming for at least 6 years now, yet I spend 6 months out of every year freezing my friggin' balls off. Makes me want to buy an SUV and help the process along.
