What’s Actually Happening?
Temperatures were predicted to increase but are declining (Figure 1). Even their lowest scenario says the world should be at least 0.3C warmer. Doesn’t sound like much but it equals half the warming they claim occurred in the preceding 130 years. As physicist David Douglass said, “If the facts are contrary to any predictions, then the hypothesis is wrong no matter how appealing.”

Mr Rudd, who is one of three world leaders charged with trying to generate momentum before the Copenhagen conference, which opens on December 7, said the ''legion of climate change sceptics are active across the world and they happily play with our children's future''.
Senator Wong and Mr Rudd no longer expect a treaty at Copenhagen. Instead Mr Rudd called for an ''ambitious agreement'' and Senator Wong referred to an ''effective international political agreement in Copenhagen...'When we leave Copenhagen this December, every detail of a final agreement may not be settled. But the nature and form of the agreement needs to be clear.''
