Skepticism is a means of pushing ones own barrow, for reasons only known to themselves. Prof Bob was discredited by persons further up the chain than anybody here.
Birds of a feather as someone sayd. That does not mean bobs wisdom was correct.
Since when has skepticism been taken seriously, If the man had significant findings he would be best served explaining it to real science. And not publishing in skeptic science. Only useful to like minded persons.
Skeptics and conspiracists, a very close match are in a world of their own, and cannot be verified by science or normal people.
Throughout history the world has gone through serious changes, none of which can not be explained, ice ages match with huge spikes in Co2 as shown in ice core samples. This time it is mans fault for emitting massive amounts of Co2 into the atmosphere 24 hours / day for 150 years.
In days gone by Volcanic action was the culprit for climate change, it can happen again on top of mans wisdom.
Nature can only handle so much, the balance is critical, and nature has been compromised, congratulations.

'Skepticism is a means of pushing ones own barrow' really 579 and truth means the fact of the matter. It seems you know very little fact.

Runner.
Aren’t we best served by real science that only releases statements of fact rather than a barrage of stories that may be the case.
I am far to realistic to put faith into skeptical or conspiracy theories , I believe in best science. I never was a gambler.
The science of Climate Change is ongoing and always will be, we have never been through this before, not recorded history at least.
So try to understand that science is doing its best for all of us, without the maybe scenarios. There is no one solution, every experiment has to be replicated before anything is conclusive.

Your ignorance is amazing, popnperish, even for a dedicated fraud supporter like you.. What you say is rubbish, unless you are able to refer us to science which shows a measurable effect of human activity on global climate. The human effect is trivial, and not measurable.
Show us where anything that Carter said is not scientifically correct.
Fraud supporters , like you, asserted that the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere would cause increased global warming at the very time when global warming stopped, over 18 years ago.
Carbon dioxide is a minor greenhouse gas, and does not determine the global temperature. The laboratory science upon which people like you rely, has been shown empirically, not to work

Global warming stopped 18 years ago, not even santa clause will believe that one. Big Changes are under way to try and put an end to rising Co2 emmittions.
So sit tight and enjoy the ride, no doubt it is going to become quite radical in terms of weather extremes while we try to reverse the effects of man made climate change. Albeit 22 years to late. That probably means if we can cut our concentration down to 1960 levels tomorrow it will take another 40 years to get a reversal of severe weather extremes.

Perhaps you could point it out on this chart then.

That’s a bit of a problem then given scepticism a cornerstone of science.
Perhaps science isn’t for you.
