Document above addresses these assertions:
- That the debate is over and all credible climate scientists are agreed.
- That temperature has risen above millennial variability and is exceptional.
- That changes in solar irradiance are an insignificant forcing mechanism.
- That the last century’s increases in temperature are correctly measured.
- That greenhouse-gas increase is the main forcing agent of temperature.
- That temperature will rise far enough to do more harm than good.
- That continuing greenhouse-gas emissions will be very harmful to life.
- That proposed carbon-emission limits would make a definite difference.
- That the environmental benefits of remediation will be cost-effective.
- That taking precautions, just in case, would be the responsible course.
From CO2 Science:
There is little doubt the air’s CO2 concentration has risen significantly since the inception of the Industrial Revolution; and there are few who do not attribute the CO2 increase to the increase in humanity’s use of fossil fuels. There is also little doubt the earth has warmed slightly over the same period; but there is no compelling reason to believe that the rise in temperature was caused by the rise in CO2. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that future increases in the air’s CO2 content will produce any global warming; for there are numerous problems with the popular hypothesis that links the two phenomena. via CO2 Science.
