“With all that going on, does somebody claim to have the method to know precisely how much of the variation in temperatures derives from human activities? To what level of accuracy? Tenths — or hundredths — of one degree? Really? Where’s the proof? The whole concept is inherently implausible.”

My all time favorite used to be on wiki:

“Global Temperatures during The Medieval Warming Period were 1/10 degree cooler than temperatures of the current warming period.”

Who’d thunk tree rings were accurate to 1/10 of a degree Celsius.

My favorite, that I've seen a few times, is that "The Pacific Ocean will rise 20 cm over the next century".

Setting aside the fact that 20 cm is a little less than 8 inches, and we should be able to figure something out in 100 years to deal with it....

.... that's 2mm/year. How would you even know? Heck, you can't measure the water in your bathtub accurately to within 2mm. They're worried - gravely worried - about a 2mm rise over a massive ocean?

Fools, all.
