"The arguments made by climate change sceptics"

Recently I commented on another blog that in a sensible world the BBC would now have to discuss the case against the "science" of Man Made Climate Change, assuming that they would not do so. This morning I note that the BBC have such an article of course being the BBC it takes the form of
"what are their arguments, and how are they countered by scientists who assert that greenhouse gases, produced by human activity, are the cause of modern-day climate change?"
The "counter" is used to disprove each of the arguments to the contrary...

The arguments and counters are so biased it would be funny if it wasn't so brainwashing, here's a few examples but do go and read the whole article....

"Sceptic
Instruments show there has been some warming of the Earth's surface since 1979, but the actual value is subject to large errors. Most long-term data comes from surface weather stations. Many of these are in urban centres which have been expanding and using more energy. When these stations observe a temperature rise, they are simply measuring the "urban heat island effect". In addition, coverage is patchy, with some regions of the world almost devoid of instruments. Data going back further than a century or two is derived from "proxy" indicators such as tree-rings and stalactites which, again, are subject to large errors.

Counter
Warming is unequivocal...."


In fact on re-reading this article it needs a damn good fisking, when I have the time I will do so...
