I like Bob Carter, but he really doesn’t debunk anything. He argues that there may be other explanations on what is going on climate wise, and that we should continue to apply the scientific method. He points out that the current consensus has stopped listening to anything which does not support anthrogenic climate change. One of my points is that many people on this thread do the same thing—i.e. focus only on the science which supports a pre-set POV.

That is a good attitude to adopt. I could readily accept that perceived climate change is occurring because of human activity with no difficulty--call it my belief in original sin, the fallen man, his capability to destroy any and every thing he touches, or what have you. The question is still this: What is really going on? I find, through my own research, and a grateful helping from others, that the situation isn't quite as dire as the entertainment media suggests. In fact, there really is some dissension among the ranks in the admittedly boring realm of actual scientific research.

What he does debunk is the notion that there is a scientific basis and consensus for the Global Warming arguments put forth by the media and the UN bureaucrats. He argues as a scientist that there is no valid science to support their claims. Might their suppositions be true. Sure. It is logically impossible to prove the non-existence of something and inductively very difficult. But the claims being made today are that the GW notions have a solid and widespread scientific foundation. This Carter debunks to my satisfaction.
