Greetings EEVBees:
--Thanks everyone for the mostly reasonable comments. Profanity and cursing, betray hostility, and are the mark of a troll, in my opinion. In this very thread, I tended to agree with some of what was said by the person using the foul language, and I thought it detracted from the argument.
To Tom66: please note the the HadCRUT graph I used is the same graph that is used in your first posted link. Even Phil Jones admits that there has been no statistically significant warming since 1995. Not that that proves anything necessarily, but it does confirm the HadCRUT graph.
--I think that IPCC should be put in the same class as Wikipedia, I.E., if it makes a non controversial claim, or a claim that can be backed up by two other sources, then it can safely be believed. IPCC has made entirely too many wild, ridiculous claims for any further claims not to be looked at askance.
--Now, both Dave and Tom66 have made the assertion that a Carbon Taxes are a good thing to do, whether or not AGW is proven or not. A very valid point of view (though I disagree), I admit, but I am still interested in whether these Taxes are actually going to decrease temperatures or not, just as a matter of intellectual curiosity, if nothing else.
