An interesting article purporting to list 100 reasons to dismiss the idea that global warming is an anthropogenic (man-made) dynamic.

Some of the items are stated a bit simplistically. One can have huge arguments about the role of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, requiring an ever more detailed understanding of the physics of radiation absorption.

I don't get caught up in this kind of argument because its largely irrelevant. Global warming alarmism is a political, not scientific phenomena. Consensus is a political, not scientific concept. Calls to drastically restructure the world's economy to achieve exactly the same aims the left has been trying to win by other means, is pretty much a dead giveaway. Scientist simply don't have the tools to support the kind of crisis talk we've been hearing for a decade or more.

The political methodologies of environmental extremists are quite well documented in the excellent "Skeptical Environmentalist" by Prof Bjorn Lomberg, a Danish statistician and former Greenpeacer who was voted of of the 75 most influential people of the 21st century. The people who hate this book invariably haven't read it. Those who have will recognize the pattern of hair-on-fire serial exaggeration designed to drive a political agenda.
