The collapse of the "consensus" has been driven by reality. The inconvenient truth is that the earth's temperatures have flat-lined since 2001, despite growing concentrations of C02. Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios about the polar ice caps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans. A global financial crisis has politicians taking a harder look at the science that would require them to hamstring their economies to rein in carbon.

And this is where MM's arguments fall flat...

If CO2 is increasing, and sunspot activity has little influence, how could temperatures flat-line? If CO2 is the causality for global warming, temperatures should be continuing to climb regardless of what the sun does.
