while economic growth and technological development fueled mainly by fossil fuels are responsible for some portion of the warming experienced this century, they are largely responsible for the above-noted improvements in human well-being in developing countries (and elsewhere). The fact that these improvements occurred despite any global warming indicates that economic and technological development has been, overall, a benefit to developing countries.

Even assuming that all of the warming that occurred from 1900-2000 was due to human activities (a very dubious assertion to begin with), the climate still isn’t as sensitive to increases in CO2 as the climate models predicate. The climate models have to add in additional fudge factors to get the results that the “scientists” want to see.

Until that changes — until there is hard evidence that the climate really is that sensitive to increases in CO2 — I’ll continue to oppose any kind of carbon caps, carbon taxes, or any other attempt by the government to control how we generate and use energy.

Survey: Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory
