Part 3, Skeptic side of RCRC Climate Debate

Presentation by Warren Meyer, of climate-skeptic.com, at the California Regional Council of Rural Counties at South Lake Tahoe in September, 2008. The presentation is called "Don't Panic -- A Critique of Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming Theory." Focuses on a number of topics, including the lack of real evidence of anthropogenic climate change as well as the use of positive feedback in models to create catastrophic forecasts.

Science is never settled. Just read that The greenhouse theory goes against the laws of thermodynamics. The atmosphere stops the planet from heating up.

Yes, but no more so than 200 years ago, or 1200 or 1400 or 1700.

How do you explain the last 2-3 years of cooling? or the steady to lower temps in the 1940s to 1970s while CO2 was rising fastest? Or the warming from the late 1800s until 1940, which was more than present, when CO2 was barely moving at all?

Allow me to anwer that, Layman jffry.

The last 150 years are recovery from the LIA.

The LIA may have been attributable to the Dalton or Maunder solar minima.

Looking at the dip between 1400 and 1500, to my eye, there should nothing statistically discernible between the last 150 years and the remainder of the series.

I would like to ask anyone who watches this video, in regards to the graph in the first minute of this video, what you see that is different about the last 150 years as opposed to the previous years covered in the graph?
