He’s really not good with numbers...Remember when he said it was “millions of degrees” beneath the surface of the Earth?

Hmm...fancy that. And still no significant warming over the past 15 years.

Seems like those 400,000 Hiroshima Atomic Bombs are like a grain of sand landing on the moon.

He’s really not good with numbers.

He flunked out of both law school and divinity school, and he flunked out with women. About the only thing the sex poodle is good at is eating.

It appears that atmospheric CO₂ concentration has been increasing during the past 30-50 years (although there is even some dispute on that statistic, owing to differences in collection methodology over time).

Nonetheless, there is no demonstrable correlation between atmospheric CO₂ concentrations and global air temperatures, as demonstrated most recently by the past 17-18 year history of flat temperature readings in the face of rising CO₂ levels, and in the past, by higher temperatures during periods of lower CO₂ levels (e.g. - the Medieval Warm Period).

Skepticism is also warranted with regard to the use of temperature records by AGW promoters as a means of documenting atmospheric conditions in the past - largely because of "cherry-picking" of such samples (most notoriously by the University of East Anglia's scientists in 2009).

Additionally, there is evidence that many (indeed, over 90%) of American temperature stations no longer meet minimum standards (as established by NOAA) for locational accuracy, and tend to be located in urban heat islands and near heat-generating airports.

Other cherry-picked data include core and tree ring samples; in one case I saw, climate scientists used only three out of several hundred samples to make their case.

Bottom line is: it's not science, it's politics.
