Inconvenient Response to Al Gore

Christopher Monckton, whose two part series in the Telegraph caused global hand wringing among anthropogenic global warming activists, has responded to Al Gore's editorial reply with an incredible scientific fisking. Read the whole thing (it's a PDF), but his main points are here:

1. That the debate is over and all credible climate scientists are agreed. Demonstrably false
2. That temperature has risen above millennial variability and is exceptional. Very unlikely
3. That changes in solar irradiance are an insignificant forcing mechanism. Demonstrably false
4. That the last century’s increases in temperature are correctly measured. Unlikely
5. That greenhouse-gas increase is the main forcing agent of temperature. Not proven
6. That temperature will rise far enough to do more harm than good. Very unlikely
7. That continuing greenhouse-gas emissions will be very harmful to life. Unlikely
8. That proposed carbon-emission limits would make a definite difference. Very unlikely
9. That the environmental benefits of remediation will be cost-effective. Very unlikely
10. That taking precautions, just in case, would be the responsible course. Demonstrably false

Any government which bases its environmental policy on activists' talking points, instead of real scientific consensus, has been severely mislead. (h/t to Climate Audit)
