The climate stubbornly refuses to co-operate with computer models and the writers of alarmist popular articles and books.

Heaven and Earth (2009)

It is naïve to think that a [computer] model can predict future events on the Earth. To try to predict the future based on just one variable (CO2) in extraordinarily complex natural systems is folly.

Heaven and Earth (2009)

If we do not understand the cause or causes for the biggest climate change of all time, what hope have we of understanding modern climate change?

Heaven and Earth (2009)

To argue that human emissions of CO2 are forcing global warming requires all the known, and possibly chaotic, mechanisms of natural global warming to be critically analysed and dismissed. This has not even been attempted.

Heaven and Earth (2009)

Heaven and Earth (2009)
