@colindominy You don't seem to understand that the argument relevant to policy is not solely if it is real, which neither Klaus nor Monckton denies, but to the extent that we do influence it and more importantly the cost at which we can do something about it.

Global warming = FACT, human caused one = FRAUD ... many people conflate the issues, they also often mistake CO2 for pollution, CO2 is NOT pollution, it is the best green airborne fertilizer known, just search in youtube for "co2 growth increase" to see what happens just for doubling its concentrations,we can boost crop produce by 40% by doing that, 40%! That could feed the world all over, the end of hunger and toxic fertilizers poisoning our food, all could be organic healthy one, CO2 is green!

To his credit - this gent is a greatly more humble and far less self-indulgent, arrogant, conceited, pompous, bombastic et al, than his colleague-in-argument-against-­climate-change .. that horrid creature, "Lord" Monckton. In this respect, Vaclav is to be respected. HOWEVER - he is clearly over-influenced by having lived under a repressive police-state, the USSR, which surfaces repeatedly in his false argument AGAINST human-induced, deadly-dangerous global climate change. Global warming - FACT !
