Climat change - what are the main causes?

Comments on Michael Asten “Climate claims fail science test”, 9/12/2009, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/climate-claims-fail-science-test/story-e6frg6zo-1225808398627

If the facts mentioned in this article are true, then they are very inconvenient to the consensus view of the scientific community on climate change.

The world will be better of to investigate this openly and fairly.

It can be costly one way or another, with or without action on climate change. It is not the right attitude to simply brand some people’s doubts on the causes of current climate change as climate change deniers or sceptics.

It is so easy to go with the majority view, but that is not necessarily the right thing to do. Just take a minute and think about the days when a lonely person said that the earth was not the centre of the solar system and the sun was! He was persecuted to death.

What is the true of the centrality of the solar system? We all know it now, but at that time most people thought that person was crazy and insane.

But the focus on a very short term data and construct models of “climate change” can be problematic, given the long history of the earth and huge variations in both temperature and CO2 levels.

The scientific community needs to take a scientific attitude.
