John R. Christy has been accused of recanting his position that climate change is neither Anthropogenic nor Catastrophic, but he didn’t. He used two independent data sets, weather balloon and satellite. (see links in my about me) Later he only stated that there was some anthropogenic impact that could not be predicted 100 years out, but that what we’re doing was good for the plants.

Ethanol forms carbon dioxide also......

The vast majority of Shlesinger's argument is based on model output, and not on reality. Why doesn't he show historical to today graphics so we can see what the reality has been in the last x number of years?
