it rests solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice, and does not rely on computations with complex climate models.

Data? Data? We don't need no steenkin' DATA!

“it rests solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice, and does not rely on computations with complex climate models.”

WORDS YOU AREN”T LIKELY TO HEAR SPOKEN PUBLICALLY BY ENVIRO-WACKOS AND THE IPCC:
Complex computations that relay on complex climate models are much preferrable to facts, as they can be coaxed into telling you exactly what it is that we want to you hear. Enviro-justice must be served and the truth can really inhibit our ability to accomplish world-wide redistribution of wealth. So, of course, climate models work the best!

In fact, if we had our way, these rogue scientists taking actual measurments would quietly disappear.
