There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth. This was much more moderate than the previous 1990 and 1992 reports, predicting 1.5 C to 4.5 C over only 50 years. Computer models cannot take into account the many variables and chaotic effects that make up our climate. We are very familiar with the fallibility of four-day weather forecasts.
Similar principals apply for long term climatic predictions.
Carbon dioxide levels are on the rise but only make up about 0.03 per cent of the atmosphere. The Kyoto Treaty applies only to developed countries. The treaty did not apply any limits on the developing countries. Multinational companies simply move their operations to the third world while gaining the benefits of low cost labour. Meanwhile, Australians along with many other developed nations must endure the resulting high unemployment.
