Subject: RE: BS: It's global warming, stupid!
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. http://www.viddler.com/v/7a56a0b0?secret=47939698
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) http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg1/images/fig9-14s.gif
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.
