 * Similar to dire predictions of 40 years ago of an imminent ice age and to other past doom forecasts due to alleged overpopulation, depletion of food and fuel supplies, and chemical pollution[kr]
 * Serious doubts about the measurements, assumptions, predictions of the intergovernmental panel on climate change[kr]
 * Global CO2 growth, temperature and role of clouds. Indeed a strong case that the IPCC overstated effect of anthropogenic greenhouse gases climate downplayed influence natural factors[kh]
 * Empirical evidence supporting global warming hypothesis often been misleading “scare stories” promoted in media distortions scientific reality.[kh]
