A report from the UK Energy Research Centre also shows the number of those who resolutely do not believe in climate change has more than quadrupled since 2005.
Dr. Roy Spencer, a former NASA scientist and author of Climate Confusion, argues in his influential blog the UN report shows scientists are being forced to “recognise reality”.
He said: “We are now at the point in the age of global warming hysteria where the IPCC global warming theory has crashed into the hard reality of observations.”
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

“The Government funded report shows 19 per cent of people are climate change disbelievers – up from just four per cent in 2005 – while nine per cent did not know.”
There were only 4% of the public sceptical of global warming claims in 2005 and now it’s nearly as high as 20%…?
I tried to locate this report to see their survey questions (as the article Steve linked to it largely gibberish) but I was informed that only “authorised” people may access their reports.
The body appears to be government funded, but the public aren’t allowed access to their information…

Climate scientists do not understand the basic physics of heat transfer and all of their simple models of the greenhouse effect are wrong. Discrete radiation fluxes do NOT add up algebraically as climate scientists believe – you can prove this yourself by heating a thermometer with a spotlight to a certain temperature, heating it to the same temperature with a second and then turn both on.
The resulting temperature is NOT the fourth root of the sum of the fluxes.
The resulting temperature will be the “net” flux for each plus the ambient air flux as calculated by the SB equation.
For 18 C ambient air plus 30 C spot 1 plus 36 C spot 2 the final is 46 C NOT the almost 90 C you get if you add 478 W/sqm (30 C) + 517 W/sqm (36 C) = 995 W/sqm – equivalent to about 364 Kelvin – ~90 C.
Add in the air temperature of ~407 and their method of algebraically summing discrete flux is clearly nonsense.
18 C ambient air is equivalent to ~407 W/sqm + (478 – 407) ~71 W/sqm + (517 – 407) ~110 W/sqm = ~588 W/sqm which is equivalent to about 319 Kelvin or about 46 C.
I tried this by experiment and it is exactly what happened – the result on a day when the air temperature was 18 C was 46 C for both spotlights on at the same time.
If they can’t even get the basics right what chance is there that any of their theories are right ?
Oh boy…
The amazing thing is that this has happened DESPITE a massive bias towards pro-warming propaganda in the mainstream media.
What would the figures look like if sceptics had been given an equal say?
