Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat

Quote:Well, I have to say, you have definitely nailed it. Somebody, somewhere, some time in the past, was wrong about something. Therefore, don't believe anything you don't like. Because there's a chance they're wrong. A lot more than one time. The prophets of doom have never been right. And if you look at the actual science rather than the extreme disaster press releases, most of the possible outcomes are of limited concern. The IPCC has HUGE ranges of pretty much every theory. For example, in the latest IPCC report the sea level rise per century goes from 8" to 4 meters. Well that narrows it down! The current rate, which hasn't changed since before mankind began enriching the atmosphere with CO2, is 8" per century. So the IPCC's range includes the null hypothesis which appears to be the case. The temperature change from a doubling of CO2 is predicted to be in a range of 1.5 to 4.5 degrees Celsius. There's a lot of slack in that, and all of the disaster scenarios you read about in The Guardian are based on 4.5 along with an unrealistic acceleration in CO2 concentration. Note that using the actual measurements of global temperature vs. CO2 levels, the effect of a doubling of CO2 comes in below 1.5 C.
