But according to you, Trump et al climate science is drivel. None of the respected, peer-reviewed climate
science experts know what they are talking about. They all are wrong. You are right. Sure glad we know.

These are the best arguments from the 3% of climate scientist 'skeptics.' Really.

A mishmash of myths

Most of Spencer’s white paper consists of repeating a variety of long-debunked myths. It’s laid out in the form of 13 basic climate questions that Spencer tries to answer. Fortunately, SkepticalScience.com has a database of over 200 climate myths .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/fixednum.php , and summaries of what the peer-reviewed scientific research says about each. This makes it possible to handle Spencer’s 13-point Gish Gallop by simply referring to the relevant myth rebuttals. So here we go:

1) ‘Carbon dioxide is a trace gas’ is rebutted as Myth #127 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/CO2-trace-gas.htm.

2) ‘Climate has changed before’ is addressed in Myth #2 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/climate-change-little-ice-age-medieval-warm-period.htm , and climate scientist Michael Mann recently rebutted the myth .. http://leaderpost.com/opinion/columnists/michael-e-mann-says-this-is-no-time-for-a-fake-debate-on-climate-change .. that climate researchers ignore natural factors. Spencer’s misleading claims about temperatures of the past 2,000 years based on a paper by Henrik Ljungqvist are refuted in Myth #168 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/ljungqvist-broke-the-hockey-stick.htm . Claims of hotter periods during that time than today are tackled in Myth #56 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/medieval-warm-period.htm , and implications that the planet is magically warming because it used to be colder during the Little Ice Age in Myth #32 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/coming-out-of-little-ice-age.htm . Finally, the rebuttal to Myth #136 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-natural-cycle.htm .. explains why we can’t just blame global warming on natural cycles.

3) The reliability of global temperature measurements is explained in Myth #6 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/surface-temperature-measurements.htm .

4) Models used by the IPCC have accurately predicted global warming, as explained in the rebuttals to and Myth #229 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/ipcc-global-warming-projections.htm , as well as an important paper published last year .. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2015/jul/31/climate-models-are-even-more-accurate-than-you-thought .

5) The net negative consequences of rapid global warming are outlined in the rebuttal to Myth #12 .. https://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-positives-negatives.htm .
