40 Reasons the Scare is Exaggerated
Climate Alarm is a Many-Headed Monster

As promised/threatened, here is Denierland’s list of 40 reasons that the climate “emergency” is overstated. The list is a little incoherent, for which I apologise. It came from a brainstorming session on the back of an envelope (it might have been a pre-used piece of A4 paper). The items include both evidence that the scare is exaggerated and the psychological drivers for willing exaggeration on the part of humans. Like I said, incoherent, and in no particular order. There is some overlap between some entries. I have made no edits at all; I don’t see anything here that doesn’t hold up a couple of years after it was written. I could have added links to relevant Cliscep posts for many items in the list, and may do so at some point.
1. Misappropriation. Have a flood or a storm? This is definitely evidence of climate change, and would not have happened if humans had not increased the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. Thus, bad things are the fault of climate change, while good things happen in spite of it. In the old days, catastrophic storms were an act of God. Now they are caused by climate change.
2. Your hockey stick is too straight. There are no breakpoints or inflections in relevant data like sea level rise or global temperature rises to suggest that the rate of change is accelerating. Gradual warming does not scare anyone, nor does gradual sea level rise. [Caveat: breakpoints might occur in the future.]
