“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain” -
Let us examine how peer review works for climate change science:
...block publication of papers written by the sceptics and prohibit unfriendly peer review of their own papers. Second, the sceptics were demonized through false labelling and false accusationsI'm alright JackComment

Ten facts about global warming
Beanheads like sasguru don’t want you to know
1. Britain is one degree Celsius cooler now than it was at the time of the Domesday book.
2. Greenland got its name from the verdant pastures that attracted the Norse settlers under Eric the Red in 986. They carried on their normal way of life (based on cattle, grain, hay and herring) for 300 years until the Little Ice Age, when they were driven off by the encroaching ice and the Inuit took over. The ice and the Inuit are still there.
3. Carbon dioxide is a minor greenhouse gas. In the atmosphere there is over a hundred times the concentration of water vapour, which is the dominant greenhouse gas.
4. Without the Greenhouse Effect there would be no life on Earth.
5. Temperature measurements by satellite, radio sonde balloons and well maintained rural surface stations in the West show no significant warming.
6. The evidence of significant warming comes from surface stations that are probably affected by a variety of factors that contaminate the data.
7. Computer models of the climate are worthless, as they are based on many assumptions about interactions between climate factors that are still unknown to science. They are generally unstable and chaotic, giving a wide variety of answers depending on the input assumptions. Take a bow sg!
8. The Kyoto agreement would have a devastating effect on the world economy but, since carbon dioxide is a minor greenhouse gas, an undetectable effect on the climate.
9. The IPCC (the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has been the main engine for promoting the global warming scare. It has become notorious for its corrupt practices of doctoring its reports and executive summaries, after they have been approved by the participating scientists, to conform to its political objectives
10. The really big lie about man-made global warming is that almost all scientists accept it. More than 4,000 scientists from 106 countries, including 72 Nobel prize winners, signed the Heidelberg Appeal (1992), calling for a rational scientific approach to environmental problems. Many senior scientists have also supported The Statement by Atmospheric Scientists on Greenhouse Warming (1992), The Leipzig Declaration (1997) and finally the Oregon Petition (1998) which received the signatures of over 19,000 scientists.
So there we have it. Enough food for thought to at least question some of the conclusions that the HIPCCocrites are bandying about.
Unless of course you are of the same lemming-like instincts as some.

List of sceptical scientists
Interesting quote from 2006:
Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology, Western Washington University: "global warming since 1900 could well have happened without any effect of CO2. If the cycles continue as in the past, the current warm cycle should end soon and global temperatures should cool slightly until about 2035"[24]Last edited by BlasterBates; 12 January 2010, 16:22.I'm alright JackComment

By the way there are a heap of refereed papers refuting Global Warming,
As Sasguru rightly says refereed papers are the authority on this.I'm alright JackComment
