The analysis is simplistic to the point of absurdity. His projection is a simple extension of the current slope, ignoring all feedbacks, sink saturation, etc. Might as well flip a coin.He does not distinguish background cycles of climatic variation such as ENSO, PDO, or solar activity from anthropgenic factors.He uses the standard Denier tactic of referring to the scientists who have real data and not absurd, erroroneous, simplistic analyses as "radical environmentalists" as a way of dismissing them without ever looking at the real science.Instead of wasting time with crap like this look at the real science."How we know we're not wrong about climate change" <a class="user" href="http://www.ametsoc.org/atmospolicy/Presentations/Oreskes%20Presentation%20for%20Web.pdf">http://www.ametsoc.org/atmospolicy/Presentations/O ...</a><a class="user" href="http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/evidence/">http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/evidence/</a><a class="user" href="http://royalsociety.org/landing.asp?id=1278">http://royalsociety.org/landing.asp?id=1278</a><a class="user" href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/05/start-here/">http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007 ...</a><a class="user" href="http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/">http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/index.htm">http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc_tar/wg1/index.htm</a><a class="user" href="http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/ar4-syr.htm">http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/ar4-syr.htm</a><a class="user" href="http://www.ghgonline.org/pubarchive.htm">http://www.ghgonline.org/pubarchive.htm</a>How much of the recent CO2 increase is due to human activities? <a class="user" href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2005/06/how-much-of-the-recent-cosub2sub-increase-is-due-to-human-activities/langswitch_lang/in">http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2005 ...</a>The Human Hand in Climate Change <a class="user" href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/01/the-human-hand-in-climate-change/langswitch_lang/in">http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007 ...</a>Myth 'Natural emissions dwarf human emissions'<a class="user" href="http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/12/17/233610/33">http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/12/17/233610 ...</a>Attribution of 20th Century climate change to CO2 <a class="user" href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/10/attribution-of-20th-century-climate-change-to-cosub2sub/langswitch_lang/sw">http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006 ...</a>Humans cause climate change, US body accepts <a class="user" href="http://environment.newscientist.com/article/mg19926683.300-humans-cause-climate-change-us-body-accepts.html">http://environment.newscientist.com/article/mg1992 ...</a>Myth that sunspots and solar cycles driving climate change repeatedly debunked by scientists<a class="user" href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/05/fun-with-correlations/">http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007 ...</a><a class="user" href="http://www.desmogblog.com/global-warming-deniers-favorite-sunspot-theory-refuted-again">http://www.desmogblog.com/global-warming-deniers-f ...</a><a class="user" href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/10/how-not-to-attribute-climate-change/">http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006 ...</a><a class="user" href="http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/09/the-trouble-with-sunspots/">http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006 ...</a><a class="user" href="http://www.malaya.com.ph/jul13/envi1.htm">http://www.malaya.com.ph/jul13/envi1.htm</a>'No Sun link' to climate change <a class="user" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7327393.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7327393. ...</a>Sun Could Cause 15% To 20% Of Effects Of Climate Change, <a class="user" href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080717224333.htm">http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/08071 ...</a>
