No, Global Warming Hasn’t Stopped

By Collin Maessen on 7th July 2013comment

The claim that global warming has stopped is popping up more and more in the media. Unfortunately this ignores how temperatures respond on a warming world and ignores a vast array of evidence that shows that it hasn’t stopped.

Feedback Loop Gain From Process Engineering Shows Low Climate Sensitivity

By Collin Maessen on 13th March 2013comment

In this section Monckton talks about feedback loops and how they show that climate sensitivity is low. I show how these concepts are used and what this means for the argument Monckton is presenting.

Calculating Climate Sensitivity

By Collin Maessen on 13th March 2013comment

Monckton introduces the argument that the Central England temperature record can be used as a proxy for global temperatures. But can it be used for that?

CO2 Measures In A Single Country Don’t Make A Difference

By Collin Maessen on 13th March 2013comment

In this particular section of the debate Monckton makes the point that Australia alone cannot significantly impact global CO2 concentrations to make a difference. Which is true, the problem is, Australia isn’t the only country reducing its emissions.

The 2007 IPCC Report Uses A Statistical Fraudulent Technique

By Collin Maessen on 13th March 2013comment

In this video I explain to which chart Monckton is referring with this “flagrantly fraudulent statistical technique” and what the report actually states.

Welcome

The goal of Real Skeptic is to take a critical look at scientific claims and investigate what the scientific literature and experts say about it. As skepticism doesn’t start with the viewpoints and claims of others, and being skeptical about those does not make you a skeptic. Being a skeptic starts with examining your own viewpoints, the positions you hold, and the claims you make.
