THe alarmist camp has one convert and they believe that validates their religion. They refuse to shoot the false prophets who already look very foolish indeed.

'Many of these are the same scientists who, not many years ago, were still arguing that there was no scientific proof that smoking causes cancer.'

And of course no mention of the scientist who only a few decades ago insisted that we were in for another ice age. Hilarous for any thinking person.

Here you go Rehctub read this link about ice ages :

1) <<Professor Richard Muller, a respected physicist at Berkeley>>

What a difference a day makes. Prior to his *conversion* Professor Muller was just another of the great unwashed multitude of skeptics. You can picture him hanging around railway stations with a sign around his neck "scientist-for-hire hoping some mining magnate would throw him a coin.

He certainly had no show of ever joining that August group of perfectionists called climate scientists and therefore could never offer any credible comment on climate issues.

But a day after he writes "that Anthropogenic Global Warming is 'very much in the picture'" --he's suddenly not just credible, but "respected" --Halleluiah!

2) << It’s worth noting that in part the project was funded by a 150KUSD grant from Koch Industries. The Koch Brothers, whose inherited fortune comes from oil and mining, have been among the most vocal opponents of Global Warming>>

And there are not too many things surer that a each way bet (except perhaps that climate will always be trending one way or the other!)

We are told the study was funded by the Koch Brothers who accrued their wealth through oil & mining! What do you suppose would have been the hue and cry if it had found: "that Anthropogenic Global Warming [was NOT] "very much in the picture"'

I'll hazard a guess it would have been a variation on: "Oh well what do you expect from a study funded by mining"
Mining is right up there with big tobacco in the AGWers pantheon of boogie men ("Many of these are the same scientists who, not many years ago, were still arguing that there was no scientific proof that smoking causes cancer").

However, now that the study has found "that Anthropogenic Global Warming is 'very much in the picture'" --it's a credible source and surefire proof --Halleluiah!

Thanks for the lols Anthonyv

Perhaps someone made him an offer he could not refuse.There is no money in being a denier since Al Gore and his Globalist mates want to make enormous profits.

In amongst all the hyperboly coming from the deniers, free market solution opposers and Gillard haters, it would be nice to see one, just one, attempt to refute Muller's data.
He's a scientist using scientific tools to arrive at a rational conclusion. And, after completing one of the most detalied studies ever conducted on this issue he concudedthat he had hitherto been wrong and so changed his mind
If you want to refute him, then that's what you have to address.
Or, alternatively, face some realites:
1. Global warming is real and human activity caused;
2. Free market solutions are always the best and most cost effective;
3. The carbon tax, morphing as it will into an ETS in a few years, is the best way of stimulating the free market into action.

rechtub isn't the weather patterns are being affected by sea temperature. El nino is on it's way back again. What happened to the ten year cycle. It only left last year. More floods and drought all at the same time. Ocean currants are raising in temperature, and effecting the whole world. It seems the ocean can not take any more co2. It is time the denialist brigade stopped the opposition and get behind climate change action.
