In your movie, you display a timeline of temperature and compared to CO =

samples. You indicate that this is conclusive proof of the link of =
increased CO 2 emissions and global warming. A closer examination of =
these facts reveals something entirely different. I have an article from =
Science magazine which I will put into the record at the appropriate =
time that explains that historically, a rise in CO 2 concentrations did =
not precede a rise in temperatures, but actually lagged temperature by =
200 to 1,000 years. CO 2 levels went up after the temperature rose. The =
temperature appears to drive CO 2 , not vice versa. On this point, Mr. =
Vice President, you=E2=80=99re not just off a little. You=E2=80=99re =
totally wrong.=20

If you have time to read a little and really care for an explanation of =

this=20
article is one place to start. It's climate science from people who =

The letter at the end of the article is also interesting and succinct.=20

Of course if one's mind is already made and maybe takes for granted that =

hard working ethical scientist are all really just frauds spewing huge =

of BS from universities, government agencies, and scientific bodies=20
.....well, it would be a waste of one's time.=20

To all --=20

All of us, whether climate scientists or not (and I assume that most of =
us=20
on this list are NOT) should be astute enough scientifically to =
recognize=20
that correlation does not imply causation. While it may be true that =
levels=20
of CO2 in the atmosphere are rising, and it may also be true that the =
global=20
climate is changing (as it has done continually since the formation of =
the=20
planet) that doesn't mean that one "causes" the other.=20

I remember a presentation at Georgia Tech several years ago by a climate =

scientist who looked at the available info, including pre-historic info =
re:=20
carbon levels and global temperatures -- however derived. As I recall, =
the=20
data appear to support the thought that levels of CO2 in the atmosphere=20
"follow" rises in global temperature by tens to hundreds of years --=20
although if you plot them on time scales of hundreds of thousands of =
years,=20
the curves appear to be coincident.=20

Three words for you, Parthasarathy, "...hide the decline."=20

That should be enough to make anyone very sceptical, but it is just the =
tip=20
of the melting iceberg. As far as your comments go, you have commited a=20
sin, and a pretty serious one=20
too: the fallacy of appealing to authority.=20

You don't need a climate scientist to evaluate charges of fraud. Again: =
the=20
question is NOT how much or why temperatures are changing. The question =
is=20
did Mann et al fake temperatures, suppress conflicting scholarship, and =
then=20
destroy their data when they could no longer hide what they were doing. =

evidence is widely available and overwhelmingly damning.=20

Here's a snippet from the article:=20
'The Royal Society now also agrees with the GWPF that the warming trend=20

the 1980s and 90s has come to a halt in the last 10 years.=20

'In their old guide, the Royal Society demanded that governments should=20

political activism=20

Focus on the evidence of fraud, not on the evidence of warming. If you =
