"When will scientists review the underlying assumptions and biases on which their climate change theories and models rely?"

Yes. It's way past time. The real deniers are those who keep pushing the nonsense. They are the deniers of the relevant facts. They are Climate Cultists. They oppose analysis that doesn't support their religious like beliefs.

The relevant facts that people should be aware of are:

1. the planet is in a coldhouse phase. In fact we are in only the third cold house phase in more than half a billion years (the time when multi-cell animal life has thrived on Earth).

2. There have been no ice sheets at either pole for 75% of the past half billion years, demonstrating the planet is in a coldhouse phase and this is a period of unusually cold.

3. The planet has been cooling from its normal tempts for the past 50 million years

4. Life thrives when the planet is warmer and struggles when colder.

5. The climate does not change in smooth curves as projected by the GCM's. The climate changes abruptly; always has always will.

6. We are currently past the peak of the current interglacial. If not for humans' GHG emissions the next abrupt change would be to cooler - that's catastrophic. Warming is not catastrophic, as clearly demonstrated by the paleo evidence

7. Our GHG emissions are reducing the risk of the next abrupt climate change - we are delaying the next abrupt cooling and reducing its severity. This has to be balanced against the risks of potential (but temporary) increased warming (the long term cooling to the next ice age will continue, and the sequence of ice ages and interglacials will continue until the plates realign so North and South America are separated and ocean currents can flow around the world in low latitudes).

People interested in the climate debate are urged to do their own reality checks, not just confirm their biases by reading only the doctrine according to the preachers of the Greens religion.

There has never been a royal commission into the idiotic theory of evolution so you have no chance with the warmist alarmist. They just demonise people speaking the truth, ignore all the obvious contradictions and pat each other on the back while the public is continually fleeced to promote their fallacies. Well I suppose we spend billions on trying to find aliens on Mars while much of the world starves. True scientist must be so embarrassed to be drowned out by self interested pseudo scientist claiming some intellectual superiority. I sometimes wonder whether our Creator laughs or cries at such fools.

A rather trite piece, written by a would-be pollie,that does not take in any of the scientific facts. Climate-change deniers certainly have done a great job in obfuscating real issues. Please read the following informative article: "Diabolical: Why we have failed to address Climate Change?" by Robert Manne. It is an article that does address these issues, and more importantly it tries to respond to WHY deniers have been so successful in creating this "apparent" scientific impasse!

So if I want to understand the science - and eco-politics - of climate change, I should ask this bunch?

Digging up millions of tonnes of fossil-fuels daily and combusting them daily, over a couple of centuries, in conjunction with decreasing the earths vegetation (especially deforestation) has to have a cumulative effect, albeit a slow one.

Yes, there have been some outlandish, irresponsible, polemic predictions, but that does not deny climate change.

While it will be interesting to see increased farming in previously difficult to farm areas, we will also see increased extreme events.

We will survive, but we will need to adapt.

Evolution was a theory in the 19th century. Evolution was proven in the 20th century with animal and plant breeding studies, and the discovery of DNA and how DNA changes between generations and as populations change.
