Links to 250 Peer-Reviewed Skeptic Scientific Papers From 2015

Here is the list of links, with extracts from each of the papers: HERE.

And, as an example for 2016, there is this:

"An apparent slowing in the rise of global temperatures at the beginning of the twenty-first century, which is not explained by climate models, was referred to as a “hiatus” or a “pause” when first observed several years ago. Climate-change sceptics have used this as evidence that global warming has stopped. But in June last year, a study in Science claimed that the hiatus was just an artefact which vanishes when biases in temperature data are corrected1. Now a prominent group of researchers is countering that claim, arguing in Nature Climate Change that even after correcting these biases the slowdown was real2." ----Nature

In the face of continued vibrant scientific debate in the top journals, it is ridiculous to talk of "consensus" based on statistical analyses of stated positions in abstracts (such as here).

Denis Rancourt radio interviews Bob Carter on the science

On November 22, 2012, CHUO 89.1 FM (Ottawa) The Train's Denis Rancourt interviewed Dr. Bob Carter about climate science and professional ethics. This is one of the most lucid discussions by two scientists you will ever hear about the scientific basis of climate change.

Climate Guy joins ICSC

Climate Guy (skeptic Dr. Denis G. Rancourt) has joined over 100 scientists in endorsing the Climate Scientists’ Register of the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC).

These scientists endorse this ICSC's strong position:

“We, the undersigned, having assessed the relevant scientific evidence, do not find convincing support for the hypothesis that human emissions of carbon dioxide are causing, or will in the foreseeable future cause, dangerous global warming."

Climate guy explained his position in detail in his February 2007 article:

Global Warming: Truth or Dare?

One basis of Climate Guy's position in this regard is that recent (last 20 or 100 or 1000 years) warming itself cannot be measurably shown to have occurred because of the inherent technical and statistical difficulties in evaluating a "global mean temperature".

Another basis is that any such warming that cannot be reliably demonstrated to occur is not dangerous by any reasonable standard compared to direct human environmental (habitat) and societal devastation (oppression, exploitation, occupation, war).
