Arguments by Muller vs What the Science Says
"Al Gore got it wrong"

Al Gore's book is quite accurate, and far more accurate than contrarian books.

"Antarctica is gaining ice"

Satellites measure Antarctica losing land ice at an accelerating rate.

"Hurricanes aren't linked to global warming"

There is increasing evidence that hurricanes are getting stronger due to global warming.

"IPCC were wrong about Himalayan glaciers"

Glaciers are in rapid retreat worldwide, despite 1 error in 1 paragraph in a 1000 page IPCC report.

"It hasn't warmed since 1998"

Every part of the Earth's climate system has continued warming since 1998, with 2015 shattering temperature records.

"Mt. Kilimanjaro's ice loss is due to land use"

Most glaciers are in rapid retreat worldwide, notwithstanding a few complicated cases.

"Polar bear numbers are increasing"

Polar bears are in danger of extinction as well as many other species.

"Scientists tried to 'hide the decline' in global temperature"

The 'decline' refers to a decline in northern tree-rings, not global temperature, and is openly discussed in papers and the IPCC reports.

"Sea level rise predictions are exaggerated" Sea level rise is now increasing faster than predicted due to unexpectedly rapid ice melting.
"Wildfires are not caused by global warming"

Global warming worsens wildfires by creating drier conditions with more fuel for fires to spread further and faster.
