In my last email {#9} I claimed that increased snow fall in Greenland is tied to AGW and does nothing to support Lord Monckton’s thesis that manmade global warming is a hoax. So, I thought this tenth email should review some of the evidence leading to the AGW consensus.
After spending sometime researching I realized there is no way I can improve upon the work done by John Cook over at SkepticalScience.com. They clearly lay out the arguments and point the way to verifying studies and data. In this email I will shamelessly reproduce SkepticalScience.com search results including links.
Here is John Cook’s introduction to his site:
Scientific skepticism is healthy. Scientists should always challenge themselves to expand their knowledge and improve their understanding.Also, Lord Monckton, despite your shrill and colorful objections to the contrary Professor John Abraham's presentation "Abraham v. Monckton" does do an excellent job of exposing many misleading scientific claims in your 10/14/9 MFMI talk.
Yet this isn't what happens in global warming skepticism. Skeptics vigorously criticize any evidence that supports man-made global warming and yet uncritically embrace any argument, op-ed piece, blog or study that refutes global warming.
So this website gets skeptical about global warming skepticism. Do their arguments have any scientific basis? What does the peer reviewed scientific literature say?

“Now look at hurricanes. The hurricane activity is a measure of the frequency, duration, and incidents of hurricanes and typhoons and tropical cyclones all around the equator added up into a 12 month running sum. It reached its least extent in the last fifty years just a few weeks ago.

The fact of warming does not tell us its cause. Every time you hear the environmentalists say: ow it’s been melting in Greenland therefore humankind is responsible for global warming.”

“And now the sea is cooling. Now this is a serious blow to the official theory.”
MFMI 1:11:10
“It should be getting hotter, it should be accumulating heat energy. But, it isn’t.
MFMI 1:12:05
“Throughout the period of measurement, which is six years, the oceans have been cooling. The heat energy is not accumulating there. And as a result the sea level over the last four years... is hardly increasing at all. It was increasing at a dizzying rate of one foot a century, now not at all.”
Skeptic arguments matching the search 'sea is cooling':
• Oceans are cooling
• Antarctica is gaining ice
• Ice isn't melting
• It's albedo
• It's cooling
• It's cosmic rays
• It's El Niño

“And recently a very important paper by Douglass & Knox, two very distinguished professors, I’ve had the pleasure to lead a seminar on Climate Sensitivity at their University. They’ve just produced a very fascinating paper in which they’ve gone back and looked at all the levels, all the heat energy figures for the oceans of the world going back sixty-eight years. And they find in that time no net accumulation of heat energy in the oceans whatsoever. What that means is that if you put double the CO2 in the atmosphere it is barely going to make any difference to global temperature.”

“The NOAA of course disagrees, but how does it get away with disagreeing, first of all it leaves out all the ARGO data - well it’s not convenient, it goes the wrong way. They leave out all the satellite data because it does the same. And they rely only on the data from ships, dropping canvas bucket down as they randomly pass across the oceans and pulling up some water and sticking a thermometer in, and only then can they make out that ocean heat is accumulating. That’s how they do it they bend the data, they don’t use the latest technique, because the latest technique are producing answers they find un-convenient.
Lord Monckton, this is such an unmitigated pack of slanderous excrement - how can you claim such nonsense? Willfully ignoring available data does not mean it isn’t there. Open your eye’s and do some honest research!
When I look at the following websites and pages I see nothing of the bumbling false cartoon you and SPPI paint for your audiences... shame on you folks, one and all.
