Arguments by Michaels	vs	What the Science Says
"Climate sensitivity is low"		Net positive feedback is confirmed by many different lines of evidence.
"Global warming stopped in ~~1998~~, ~~1995~~, ~~2002~~, ~~2007~~, ~~2010~~, ????"		Global temperature is still rising and 2010 was the hottest recorded.
"It's cosmic rays"		Cosmic rays show no trend over the last 30 years & have had little impact on recent global warming.
"It's not bad"		Negative impacts of global warming on agriculture, health & environment far outweigh any positives.
"It's the sun"		In the last 35 years of global warming, sun and climate have been going in opposite directions
"Lindzen and Choi find low climate sensitivity"		Lindzen and Choi’s paper is viewed as unacceptably flawed by other climate scientists.
