Watch out, man, watch out..... when he realizes it is the same
document he wanted to quote with me, but wouldn't accept as fact, he's
probably going to cut and run........
So, you consider the IPCC document as fact, the whole truth and nothing but?
The document can be rendered useless using some of it's opening statements:
"The statements presented here are based largely on data sets that cover the
period since 1970" ( Weren't we in a cooling cycle during the 70's? )
"There is, however, a notable lack of geographical balance in the data and
literature on observed changes, with marked scarcity in developing
countries." (With such a vast amount of data missing how do we know for sure
that warming isn't a localized phenomena?)
"Based on satellite observations since the early 1980s" (The beginning of
the
current warming cycle)
"A global assessment of data since 1970 has shown it is likely that
anthropogenic warming has had a discernible influence on many physical and
biological systems." (Likely, discernable? I thought the debate was over)
There are literally hundreds of CYA statements in this document.
How anyone (without an agenda) can take this document as fact is beyond me.
