Yes, Quite an interesting link. However, I was dismayed when looking down the list of scientific papers, to see the names of the well known sceptics, Willie Soon, Sallie Baliunas, dear old Fred Singer, Roy Spencer, ? Christy, etc etc many times.

The papers, & I haven't counted them but must be less than a hundred, stretch from the mid ‘70’s to the present. How many peer-reviewed papers in favour of AGW in that time I wonder – (many thousands ??).

And the writer is disingenuous. Whilst these papers may strictly be peer-reviewed, I see some are in the Energy & Environment publication (which THE joke journal), and the author doesn’t make it clear that the bulk of the assertions in many of these papers have been debunked.

My suspicions aroused, I did a wiki search & guess what :-

The Independent Institute is a libertarian think tank based in Oakland, California.
&
The Institute is a member organization[citation needed] of the Cooler Heads Coalition which asserts that the theory of global warming is a myth.[citation needed]


Back to the drawing board mpkd.
