1. Most skeptics, not including myself, accept that the modern temp records are in the ball park, but find problems with the models and adjustments, or lack thereof. There is no uniformity. (I think you all don’t have a clue what the GAT is to within a couple tenths of a degree.)
Agreed.
2. Most skeptics also agree that, all other things being equal, CO2 would cause warming, but disagree on whether it has, the degree, the danger, etc. There is again no uniformity.
Agreed
3. I would guess that most skeptics think the Mann hockey sticks suck. But then, a lot of consensus types do too. Paleo-climate in particular being even less precise than modern temp records.
Agreed
4. Well, if anyone thinks the GCMs are accurate or precise enough, they probably have to accept their output. Which would leave out any skeptics I know. This is probably the closest one can get to a “consensus” on the skeptic side.
Agreed
5. Carbon taxes, well McKitrick and a number of others have proposed such taxes, but usually as an antidote to the more onerous taxes proposed by your tribe. No uniformity there either.
Agreed.
Hey I’m a skeptic
