First, a word about doing science, and weeding sources. One thing about doing science is that you're supposed to read the source you're commenting on. As some commentators demonstrated, they didn't read my article before making their comment. That would have been the easiest way to discover a source which did as claimed. More work, but still easy, is to do a search and see if the comment is out there. Now, as you know from reading my 20 links game earlier, I think pretty much any statement you'd care to name is being asserted somewhere on the web, and probably in at least 20 different locations. If you've been looking at the web for a while, you've seen some pretty strange statements being made seriously.
Where the commentators agree with me is that it's absurd to claim that there's no correlation between temperature and CO2. Consequently, any source which does claim so is unreliable and you'd be better off moving on. (Oddly, they don't seem to agree with this part.)
So, here are 20 sources (well, 21) which assert no correlation between temperature and CO2, and are referring to recent (last 150 years) climate:
- Joseph D'Aleo on Jennifer Marohasy's blog
- Powerpoint presentation, see slide 47
- Ken Gregory
- Christopher Horner, Lawyer
- Lee C. Gerhard, Center for Science and Public Policy
- Warwick Hughes, repeat of preceding
- Article by Dennis Avery, quoting Timothy Patterson
- Article by Timothy Patterson, published in Financial Post, copied to this site
- An englishman's castle, blog
- Noel Sheppard, at Newsbusters
- Glen Meakam, Pittsburgh Tribune Review 25 January 2009 (cached version)
- Joseph D'Aleo, on his own site
- Jim Manzi, taking Steve Milloy to task for claiming no correlation
- Capitalism Magazine, quoting Timothy Ball
- Martin Durkin, the producer of the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle
- Geoaffair
- Jules has been engaging in discussion and documenting Hans Labohm's denial of any correlation between CO2 and Temperature (Labohm goes farther than any others I've seen, and denies it for all time scales from tenths of years to millions of years)
- Christopher Monckton at Science and Public Policy
- Paul Drallos, PhD (Physics)
- user 'bravo22c' at the Telegraph, UK
- Alan Caruba in the Canada Free Press
Took 90 minutes since I didn't accept blog comments -- all these are original articles, sources that get quoted elsewhere. I also didn't take many copies of the same sources, which, again, would have shortened the search. Also no videos. But I threw in a bonus cite. Some cherry pick their periods ('last 10 years', '1945-1970' or the like), some leave it at 'recent', without saying what 'recent' means.
As I discussed before, you need 20-30 years to be talking about a climate trend. So the sources which use only 10 or so are being doubly misleading.
