Climate Change Skeptic Results Released Today

Irishman writes "A leading climate change skeptic, Richard Muller, will release results today showing that global warming is indeed happening. He has shown that two items skeptics look to, urban heat islands and unreliable weather stations, do not skew the data. The amazing part is that this research is funded by the Koch brothers, two investors who fund climate change skeptics whenever possible."

What they've confirmed is that there was indeed a warming trend from about 1970 (or so) through about 2000. Before that, nothing significant. Since then, nothing significant. So we have a 30-year period of warming. That's an extremely short period when you're talking climate science. It also inconveniently doesn't match up with carbon dioxide emissions growth.

So the questions remain, as you say: "is it caused by man?" and (if I may paraphrase) "what, if anything, should we do about it?" Those two questions are quite significant, and completely separate from the furor about the earth warming/not warming.

For what it's worth, things still aren't on the up-and-up regarding the data, even in this case.

Of coarse the earth went into and out of an ice age all by itself, no humans around. Good thing you were not around during the ice age, you would think that that was the normal temperature. How do you know what temperature the earth is supposed to be? How do you know that warming is bad?

Yes, all those climatologists are super-rich, taking on poor little oil companies.

Do you know what a fucking moron you sound like?
