I am not a climate scientist, nor do I play one on TV or on ATP&N.
While a number of posters here claim to have scientific or engineering backgrounds, no one has yet claimed to be a climatologist.
This has not stopped anyone and everyone from claiming their opinion is better, more accurate or less biased than everyone else's.
As a result, most "global warming" discussions here devolve into ad hominem attacks and/or rather poor attempts at describing the "science."
As one may expect, these self-important "scientific" lessons are delivered with a haughty and imperious air, which may otherwise be described as whole lot of "hot."
One outrageous claim made by the "True Believers In Anthropogenic Climate Change," also known as the "Warmers," or just "Believers," is that the skeptics, or "Doubters," do not have science on their side.
It turns out that is not the case, but how can such bias be addressed? Who has time to slog through the thousands of pages required to understand just how wrong the "Believers" are?
I suggest taking a bit of time and viewing the following presentation by Warren Meyer.
The online Vimeo version is here.
His rapid fire delivery brings up the various claims made by the "Believers" and then provides the scientific basis for rejecting their flawed methodology and conclusions.
I suggest "Believers," especially those pretentious buffoons who haven't bothered with doing more than mimicking the pronouncements of their preferred tenured, pig at the trough funded wannabe climate boffs, spend the short amount of time it takes to review the material summarized by Warren Meyer.
Go on, it won't hurt you.
OK, it might bruise that inflated ego you have, but I am sure it will inflate right back up again.
It always does.

Catastrophe Denied: The Science of the Skeptic’s Position
January 24, 2010, 12:38 pm
Warren Meyer has a degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University, where his studies focused on the control and stability of dynamic systems, issues at the very heart of the climate debate. He also has extensive experience with forecasting of dynamic and complex systems, with an MBA from Harvard University and years of experience with planning and forecasting at several Fortune 50 companies.
Once upon a time, Al Gore had a PowerPoint deck.
Then, Al Gore made a movie from his PowerPoint deck.
He won an Oscar and a Nobel prize for his movie.
Those are a bit out of my reach, so I will have to settle for actually being right.
Several years ago, I came to the conclusion that Gore’s presentation was deeply flawed, so I made my own PowerPoint deck in response, and have been updating it ever since. Here is the most recent version,My previous movie showed my PowerPoint deck presented to a live audience, and can still be found online here. I felt the sound quality could be improved and the narration could be tighter, so I went into the “studio” to create a tighter version. The product of this is what I believe to be my best effort yet at explaining, in a comprehensive but simple manner, the science of the skeptic’s position to laymen.
I have become a big fan of Vimeo because I don’t have to break videos up into 10-minute chunks as on YouTube.
The Vimeo version is here.
