"Given the vast structural changes any emission reduction policy would cause, and the enormous increase in government power, the summit should surely call for more than a report on emissions trading. It is difficult to think of a more important issue facing Australia and the Government." Des Moore...
"...there is no observational evidence in measured data going back 22,000 years or even millions of years that CO2 levels (whether from man or nature) have driven or are driving world temperatures or climate change.
If you believe there is evidence of the CO2 driver theory in the available data p...
"The fact that the WMO and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were incapable of reflecting El Niño’s impact on their temperature models simply underscores how politically driven and unscientific climate science has become. The “consensus” models must be considered worthless after years of fai...
" I feel that the actions I have seen proposed, such as carbon caps and carbon trading, are likely to be unnecessary, expensive and futile unless there is much stronger evidence that we are facing a global environmental crisis, whether or not we have brought it about ourselves." Professor Don Aitk...
"The climate is not highly sensitive to CO2 warming because water vapour is a damper against the warming effect of CO2." Owen McShane explains in this article in New Zealand's premier business weekly paper: National Business Review

"Just how good is the science underpinning the theory of manmade global warming? My answer might surprise you: it is 10 miles wide, but only 2 inches deep. Contrary to what you have been led to believe, there is no solid published evidence that has ruled out a natural cause for most of our recent...
"Since instrumentation was installed in 1993 on Tuvalu's main island Funafuti, sea level has shown no discernible trend. There is some inundation evident on islands in Tuvalu, but global warming is not the cause."

"In fact, 80 percent to 90 percent of global warming involves heating up ocean waters. They hold much more heat than the atmosphere can. So Willis has been studying the ocean with a fleet of robotic instruments called the Argo system. The buoys can dive 3,000 feet down and measure ocean temperature. Since the system was fully deployed in 2003, it has recorded no warming of the global oceans."
"...it is a struggle to determine exactly what the supposed consensus refers to. If it applies to a significant human influence on climate then it seems impossible to find any credible evidence of an overwhelming consensus from experts in the relevant facts." Read John McLean's analysis: link to...
" All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously."
