Just read Roger A. Pielke, Sr. at climatesci.org
According to Pielke:
a) Anthropogenic CO2/GHGs do contribute to warming; but
b) so does anthropogenic land use; and
c) so do anthropogenic aerosols,
amongst other things; but
d) the IPCC's top line analysis plays down these impacts and narrows everything to GHGs.
Also
e) upper surface ocean temperatures are the best proxy for global warming. These have been decreasing (or at least non-increasing) for a number of years; and
f) global computational climate models are not worth a dime in terms of their predictive capability.
It all adds up to the public and policymakers are being misled.
The IPCC and those of Hansen's ilk are to blame.
Just go back to Jacob Bronowski:
"No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power."
"Dissent is the native activity of the scientist..."
Biting the hand that feeds IT
