Parker admits that "there are a lot of things we don't know". But, he adds, that doesn't disprove global warming, or the models.

"a lot of things we don't know" ... "doesn't disprove global warming" ....

Skepticism is warranted. You're not talking about evidence but politically driven surmise based on models which are at best simplistic approximations of the real world climate.

But Michaels has, as ever, a twist. "You can't make a case for a global apocalypse out of a 1.5 °C warming. It destroys the issue. If politics weren't driving this we could all meet on common ground."

An excellent point. So the case for "apocalypse" shouldn't be made.

Thanks btw for posting a piece which reveals there are more than one "perma sceptic" out there.

Face it, there's something wrong when one side of a debate assumes that Harvard trained MIT scientists aren't interested in "real science" if they don't reach the politically correct apocalyptic concluxion.
