Don Aitkin Quotes

• ¿El calentamiento no tiene precedentes? Probablemente no. Existen abundantes pruebas históricas e indirectas de periodos más cálidos y más fríos en la historia de la humanidad. ¿Es culpa nuestra? Puede que sí. La correlación del aumento del calor con el aumento de las concentraciones de dióxido de carbono es particularmente débil; la correlación con la energía solar y con los movimientos oceánicos es mucho más fuerte.

• Why is there such insistence that AGW has occurred and needs drastic solutions? This is a puzzle, but my short answer is that the IPCC has been built on the AGW proposition and of course keeps plugging it, whatever the data say. The IPCC has considerable clout. Most people shy off inspecting the evidence because it looks like science and must therefore be hard. The media have been captured by AGW (it makes for great stories), the environmental movement and the Greens love it, and business is reluctant to get involved.

• Are we likely to see rising sea-levels? Not in our lifetimes or hose of our grandchildren. It is not even clear that sea-levels have risen at all. As so often in this domain, there is conflicting evidence. The melting of polar or sea ice has no direct effect.

• How reliable are the computer [climate] models on which possible future climates are based? Not very. All will agree that the task of modeling climate is vast, because of the estimates that have to be made and the rubbery quality of much of the data.
