Top Ten Good Skeptical Arguments

May 1st, 2014 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

As suggested by a friend, I’m following up my Top Ten bad global warming arguments list with a Top Ten good arguments list. These are in no particular order, and I might have missed something important.   These ten were just off the top of my head….there’s no telling what might be lingering deeper in my brain.   I've avoided specific alternative causal mechanisms of natural climate change, because I view them individually as speculative. But taken as a whole, they represent a class of unknowns that can’t be just swept under the rug just because we don’t understand them.  For some reason, all of these ended up being phrased as questions, rather than statements.

1) No Recent Warming.
2) Natural or Manmade?
3) IPCC Politics and Beliefs.
4) Climate Models Can’t Even Hindcast
5) …But We Should Believe Model Forecasts?
6) Modelers Lie About Their “Physics”.
7) Is Warming Even Bad?
8) Is CO2 Bad?
9) Do We Look that Stupid?
10) Selective Pseudo-Explanations.

11) (Spinal Tap bonus) Just How Warm is it, Really? ......To Read More.....
