Dear Leo Lane,

Saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Contrarians do make the world a more interesting place.

I do note that not one obituary I read referred to him as a climate scientist, not even Jo Nova nor the Heartland Foundation. Yet you repeatedly tried to pass him off as such.

Why did you engage in such dishonesty?

Raycom, sorry I am not a climate scientist and so not equipped to debate the science with you. On this, as with many issues, I take advice from credible experts. Their consensus is that that the earth is warming, this is caused by human activities and it is dangerous.

Tom W.

Tomw, they say there is one born every minute, & posts like yours prove it. Bet you think the Labor party are only interested in your welfare too.

Tell me tomw, which minute were you born, the one before, or the one after the equally gullible SteeleRedux?

Presently India is being hit by high temperatures, food and water resources are critically lacking.
Millions of people are at risk.

Millions of people are at high risk also in African countries through lack of water resources and crop failure.

We need to be concentrating on how to adapt and mitigate against climate change.

But, a little exercise completed earlier today was to find 20 climate science papers published in peer reviewed journals in 2016. The majority of the papers having been published in April 2016.
Those who believe there is no consensus should be able to produce references to papers by skeptical scientists in peer reviewed journals published in 2016.

Lead authors of the various papers are:
Shapna Sharma, Zaichen Zhu, Albert Milbank, James Hansen, Zeebe, A J Turner, Eric Spurling, Matthew Long, Edward Hanna, Ryan J Wooosley, Manabu Nakamoto,Igor Semiletov, Alexander Boehm, Richard Davey, Catriona Menzies, Renato Castelao, Elani Anagnostou, John Landolfi, Delphine Deryng, and Andrew Friedland.

Climate change causing lack of water.
Hmmm, I only read just today that climate change is causing increased rainfall !

Oh interesting isn't it. No consensus there.

Anyway it doesn't matter whether it is warming or not.

Robert Carter was recognized world wide as an authority on climate, Reflux. What is your definition of a climate scientist, and how does Carter fall outside the definition?
This should be amusing, because you have given Skeptical Science as a reference, a site run by a drop-out cartoonist with no qualification in science.
“. Carter was one of the world’s leading authorities on the science of climate change. He was the author of two books on the subject, Climate: The Counter Consensus (2010) and Taxing Air: Facts and Fallacies about Climate Change(2013) and coauthor of several more, including three volumes in the Climate Change Reconsidered series produced by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) and published by The Heartland Institute. Shortly before his death he coauthored Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming (2015).
Dr. Carter’s public commentaries drew on his knowledge of the scientific literature and a personal publication list of more than 100 papers in international science journals. His research on climate change, sea-level change and stratigraphy was based on field studies of Cenozoic sediments (last 65 million years) from the Southwest Pacific region, especially the Great Barrier Reef and New Zealand.
Dr. Carter acted as an expert witness on climate change before the U.S. Senate Committee of Environment & Public Works, the Australian and New Zealand parliamentary Select Committees into emissions trading, and in a meeting in parliament house, Stockholm, Sweden. He was also a primary science witness in the Hayes Windfarm Environment Court case in New Zealand, and in the U.K. High Court case of Dimmock v. H.M.’s Secretary of State for Education, the 2007 judgment which identified nine major scientific errors in Mr. Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth.”
