It's a huge conflict of interest
It's solar activity
It's the sun that accounts for climate on Earth
Much of the observed warming predates 1940
No warming at the South Pole
No warming for 16 years
Observed warming is just part of a natural cycle
Published papers referring to cooling and warming in the 1970's
Relationship CO2 and Temp - not a good one
Relationship solar activity and temp- a great fit

Stop global warming hate
Temperature is a function of the sun, not CO2
The climate has always changed
The Deep Adaptation and similar movements, by giving up on the value of mitigation, effectively support a continuation of the status quo
