So you think we should just ignore any evidence, and go about as normal hoping that the coin lands on the your side. To me that's a gamble I would prefer not to take.

I would never ignore any evidence. Do you have some ?

Climate Change: Evidence

Climate Change: Evidence

Great. The link shows something that we all know. The climate changes.

What it does not show is that it has anything to do with us.

What you have is a theory and a set of models. All of your forecasts have proven to be inaccurate, all of your hindcasts have proven to be inaccurate, and now the carbon level itself is being called into question.

so apart from the models, what evidence is there ?

Climate Change: Evidence

I like the way it starts with the graph with "Years before today, 0=1950". 1950 is 0 years before today is it?

Clever these climatists.

Alarmist Doomsday warning of rising seas 'was wrong', says Met Office study | Mail Online

Alarming predictions that global warming could cause sea levels to rise 6ft in the next century are wrong, it has emerged.
The forecast made by the influential 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which would have seen cities around the world submerged by water, now looks ‘unlikely’.

A Met Office study also rules out the shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean’s conveyor belt, which would trigger Arctic winters in Britain like those seen in the film The Day After Tomorrow.

Daily Mail vs NASA hmmmm.

Just to be clear I am not 100% convinced of man-made climate change, I just think there is enough evidence to act as if it is true, as the worst we can be is wrong rather than extinct. If anyone wants to debate rationally then I am open to arguing around that point.

Climate sceptics have done something that the AGW lot should have done years ago. they have taken half of the data, run it through the models, then checked to see if it predicted the second half of the data. it didnt. this is aka hindcasting.

The AGW lot didnt bother with this technique, why should they when the science is settled?

Always amusing to see the same, thick, ill-educated morons trotting out the same tired old cliches, from the same ignorant sources (Who uses the Daily Mail as a source of truth, for FFS.)

And where did you get 'extinct' from ??

I dont believe I have heard even SaSGoru say that we are threatened with extinction.

Worst case scenario, you can replace that with whatever negative outcome would be likely were it to be true.
