<p>He starts out by assuming intellectual superiority and dehumanizing skeptics. Strike one</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Then he claims that other planets are not warming. Strike two.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>In 2005 data from NASA&#8217;s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide &#8220;ice caps&#8221; near Mars&#8217;s south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg&#8217;s Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>&#8220;The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars,&#8221; he said.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html">http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html</a></p>
<p>Then he claims that scientists didn&#8217;t say the Earth was cooling in the 70s. Of course they did, because it was cooling. John Holdren wrote a book about it. Strike three</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><img title="Capture" src="https://stevengoddard.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/capture269.jpg?w=233&#038;h=288" alt="" width="233" height="288" /></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">NCAR graph from the 1970s showing cooling</p>
<p>And finally he claims that scientists weren&#8217;t caught faking data. I guess that depends on what he means by &#8220;caught.&#8221;</p>
