What am I doing?

Among other things, I am an Earth Science Professor at a University you are undoubtedly familiar with. I am sure you would rather discuss data than have a CV duel. You will get no "appeal to authority" out of me.

Here - I will help you out:

A video of Easterbrook's talk (that Ferrara relied upon) is on the Heartland website.

Go to minute 6:00, and look at the graph in the upper right. Listen as he presents it as the IPCC temperature prediction (i.e. 1 degree C average surface temperature rise between 2000 and 2010).

Here is the actual IPC prediction (which is 0.2 degrees C between 2000 and 2010)

You will surely see that the graph he presents is not at all like the actual IPCC graph, and he is either misleading the audience, or has made a serious and very public error.
