Confessions from former greenhouse scientist David Evans
kevincolby.com — So guess what Dr. Evans is saying today? Since he started working in the office in 1999, “new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming.”

He is an engineer hired to do some computer work and who has never done any climate research. What he has to say has been thoroughly debunked http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2008/07/the_austra ...
"The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it. "
We're supposed to take his word for it? Excuse me if I prefer the piece at http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008 ... since it offers the references and links and walks us through the actual reasoning.
See especially the discussion following the piece as it is where people challenge the arguement and bring in a lot of other relevant science.
Point 2 is disingeuous. What does he consider "evidence" He is in disagreement with pretty much the whole scientific community, so just what does he mean by evidence?
3) "The satellites that measure the world's temperature all say that the warming trend ended in 2001"
By the same logic it also stopped in 1973, 1983, and 1990 http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/nhsh ... Each peak year has been followed by a slightly cooler period (look at the data).
According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record. http://www.eoearth.org/article/Global_warming
"Top 11 Warmest Years On Record Have All Been In Last 13 Years"
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/07121 ...
And the first six months of 2008 were the ninth warmest since record keeping began in 1880, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center reported. http://green.yahoo.com/news/ap/20080716/ap_on_sc/s ... http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ap/ap_on_sc/story ...
4) "yet Al Gore made his movie in"
I thought this was supposed to be about the science? wtf cares what Al Gore said ... is the science right or not?
It all boils down to his claim that CO2 is not the cause. He is out of synch with the rest of science

In order to believe the CO2 is evil people we must remember that they live in a world where volcanoes do not exist. There are no computer models which show "climate change" and include data from volcanic activity.
I think it is kind of funny that the only way some of these global warming pseudoscientists have to fight back against someone who has a different theory is to insult them.All the while they try to insult our intelligence by pretending climate change is a serious problem caused by humans.
I can make a computer model that shows we are in an ice age by omitting all data from daytime.
Makes as much sense as inventing one that omits volcanic activity.
