no. there are standards of peer review in the scientific community, to which this website does not subscribe.

This ABC report explains how Carter is paid by the Heartland Institute:

Who receive large donations from Oil & Gas, in particular Exxon as this New York Times article explains:
[Link]

Exxon of course have admitted their scientists concluded that "the most likely manner in which mankind is influencing the global climate is through carbon dioxide release from the burning of fossil fuels." in 1977 while their PR teams openly dismissed the claims, as explained in this Washington Post article
[Link]

And this is the dossier issued by the European Foundation:

HERE are 50 reasons, released in a dossier issued by the European Foundation, why climate change is natural and not man-made
1) There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.
2) Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.
3) Warmer periods of the Earth’s history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels.
4) After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940
5) Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high.
6) Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time.
7) The 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.
The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited.
9) Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming
10) A large body of scientific research suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of climate change during the past hundred years.
11) Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago
12) Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds
13) Peter Lilley MP said last month that “fewer people in Britain than in any other country believe in the importance of global warming. That is despite the fact that our Government and our political class—predominantly—are more committed to it than their counterparts in any other country in the world”.
14) In pursuit of the global warming rhetoric, wind farms will do very little to nothing to reduce CO2 emissions
15) Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”
16) A Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming.
17) The science of what determines the earth’s temperature is in fact far from settled or understood.
1 Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapour which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to control
19) A petition by scientists trying to tell the world that the political and media portrayal of global warming is false was put forward in the Heidelberg Appeal in 1992. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize winners, from 106 countries have signed it.
20) It is claimed the average global temperature increased at a dangerously fast rate in the 20th century but the recent rate of average global temperature rise has been between 1 and 2 degrees C per century - within natural rates
21) Professor Zbigniew Jaworowski, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Central
Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw, Poland says the earth’s temperature has more to do with cloud cover and water vapor than CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
22) There is strong evidence from solar studies which suggests that the Earth’s current temperature stasis will be followed by climatic cooling over the next few decades
23) It is myth that receding glaciers are proof of global warming as glaciers have been receding and growing cyclically for many centuries
24) It is a falsehood that the earth’s poles are warming because that is natural variation and while the western Arctic may be getting somewhat warmer we also see that the Eastern Arctic and Greenland are getting colder
25) The IPCC claims climate driven “impacts on biodiversity are significant and of key relevance” but those claims are simply not supported by scientific research
26) The IPCC threat of climate change to the world’s species does not make sense as wild species are at least one million years old, which means they have all been through hundreds of climate cycles
27) Research goes strongly against claims that CO2-induced global warming would cause catastrophic disintegration of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets.
2 Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels are our best hope of raising crop yields to feed an ever-growing population
29) The biggest climate change ever experienced on earth took place around 700 million years ago
30) The slight increase in temperature which has been observed since 1900 is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term natural climate cycles
31) Despite activist concerns over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels of some so-called “greenhouse gases” may be contributing to higher oxygen levels and global cooling, not warming
32) Accurate satellite, balloon and mountain top observations made over the last three decades have not shown any significant change in the long term rate of increase in global temperatures
33) Today’s CO2 concentration of around 385 ppm is very low compared to most of the earth’s history – we actually live in a carbon-deficient atmosphere
34) It is a myth that CO2 is the most common greenhouse gas because greenhouse gases form about 3% of the atmosphere by volume, and CO2 constitutes about 0.037% of the atmosphere
35) It is a myth that computer models verify that CO2 increases will cause significant global warming because computer models can be made to “verify” anything
36) There is no scientific or statistical evidence whatsoever that global warming will cause more storms and other weather extremes
37) One statement deleted from a UN report in 1996 stated that “none of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed climate changes to increases in greenhouse gases”
3 The world “warmed” by 0.07 +/- 0.07 degrees C from 1999 to 2008, not the 0.20 degrees C expected by the IPCC
39) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says “it is likely that future tropical cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes) will become more intense” but there has been no increase in the intensity or frequency of tropical cyclones globally
40) Rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere can be shown not only to have a negligible effect on the Earth’s many ecosystems, but in some cases to be a positive help to many organisms
41) Researchers who compare and contrast climate change impact on civilizations found warm periods are beneficial to mankind and cold periods harmful
42) The Met Office asserts we are in the hottest decade since records began but this is precisely what the world should expect if the climate is cyclical
43) Rising CO2 levels increase plant growth and make plants more resistant to drought and pests
44) The historical increase in the air’s CO2 content has improved human nutrition by raising crop yields during the past 150 years
45) The increase of the air’s CO2 content has probably helped lengthen human lifespans since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution
46) The IPCC alleges that “climate change currently contributes to the global burden of disease and premature deaths” but the evidence shows that higher temperatures and rising CO2 levels has helped global populations
47) In May of 2004, the Russian Academy of Sciences published a report concluding that the Kyoto Protocol has no scientific grounding at all.
4 The “Climate-gate” scandal pointed to a expensive public campaign of disinformation and the denigration of scientists who opposed the belief that CO2 emissions were causing climate change
49) The head of Britain’s climate change watchdog has predicted households will need to spend up to £15,000 on a full energy efficiency makeover if the Government is to meet its ambitious targets for cutting carbon emissions.
50) Wind power is unlikely to be the answer to our energy needs. The wind power industry argues that there are “no direct subsidies” but it involves a total subsidy of as much as £60 per MWh which falls directly on electricity consumers. This burden will grow in line with attempts to achieve Wind power targets, according to a recent OFGEM report

This is from a respected source just to please you!!!!

 


Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

6) Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time. true but how do they compare withthe last 200 years?
7) The 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.
The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited. what's the IPCC theory, how relevant is it?
9) Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming http://www.factcheck.org/2009/12/climategate/ aah, i see what the IPCC is now
10) A large body of scientific research What link please otherwise i don't believe you. suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of climate change during the past hundred years.
11) Politicians and activiists which ones? evidence pleaseclaim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago
12) Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds doesn't negate the fact that 97% of scientists say the human race are responsible for accelerating any climate change.
13) Peter Lilley MP said last month that “fewer people in Britain than in any other country believe in the importance of global warming. That is despite the fact that our Government and our political class—predominantly—are more committed to it than their counterparts in any other country in the world”. Because 80% of the media are only presenting what 3% of scientists think? Does he have the data to prove what he said or is it a case of politicians lying (as seems to be somehow an excuse because they all do it
14) In pursuit of the global warming rhetoric, wind farms will do very little to nothing to reduce CO2 emissions I'd be interested to know about this Daily express, where can I find this information. Some people could think it's just made up, that's what happens now isn't it?
15) Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, [Link]
(the gruaniad would say that) [Link]
[Link] interesting take from the spectatator in 2009, There is no problem with global warming. It stopped in 1998. The last two years of global cooling have erased nearly 30 years of temperature increase.’ erm haven't the last few years been the warmest on record globally? make your own mind up.
stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”
16) A Harvard University astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global warming.the bloke whose theory was debunked whodid not disclose that their research budget was funded in part by the American Petroleum Institute.

I've annotated the first few (bored.com) but i'd take most of that list with a pinch Mike.


the daily express? [Link]

was the only place cited by wiki when I looked up 'the european foundation.'
Not much else about them out there save for their homepage [Link]
which shows ties with Bill Nash MP.


Hope all is well with you and yours.

Hi Nick I was just trying to prove to the our American poster that there are numerous reasons on both sides of the fence and really we should take a lot of it with a pinch of salt. Have you noticed how anything we put in posts and it does not tie in with some peoples ideas that WE are the ones that are wrong every time. You should know that the way people pick on you mate. We all have our own views on things and my view on Climate change is mainly down to nature as it has been for thousands of years.
Hope you are all good with you and yours at your end mate.

Global warming is real. I have no doubt about it. We are cutting the rainforests down at an unnatural rate and destroying the oceans by filling them with waste. How this is likely to have no effect on the planet I have no idea. In the same way that if the bees die we die if all the trees are gone obviously we will be too. The efect of cutting down trees is going to have a detrimental effect on our planet and the air quality and the truth is we are destroying the rainforests. It seems that some people believe that we can continue doing this and it won't have any effect whatsoever. I don't need a scientist to tell me that's bulls***. Most of these people have ulterior motives and try to allay the public's fears in the same way that in the past doctors might have told people not to worry about smoking as it has no ill effets on your health. In time everyone will realise whether it's global warming or not we are destroying the environment at a rate that we have never done before in the history of the human race and all for one thing - money.
Cowspiracy the film explains what is going on and the cover up by environmental organisations. If you are concerned about the environment and what is going on with it you should watch this film as it will open your eyes to what is happening.

ps have a look at this cartoon too... says a lot about the whole thing...
