The claim: There has been no global warming over the last 15 years.
The rebuttal: You are so full of it.

Welcome to Quodlibeta
The Latin word Quodlibeta means "whatever you like" and refers to the special occasions at medieval universities when the students (or clerks as they were known) could test their masters by asking any question they fancied. This blog is primarily concerned with religion, science, history and their interface. But like the medieval clerks, we reserve the right to post on anything we want.
Meet the Clerks
James Hannam
I am a historian of the relationship between science and religion, and also write on the UK tax system. My first book was published as God's Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science in the UK and The Genesis of Science: How the Christian Middle Ages Launched the Scientific Revolution in the US. My apologetics website is Bede's Library. I am also the author What Everyone Needs to Know about Tax and write about tax at my other blog. I can be found on Twitter as @DrJamesHannam.
Humphrey Clarke
I am a historian of a very middling and amateurish sort. Having taken a Masters in Modern History at the University of St Andrews (2004), I completed a law conversion course at Nottingham Law School and embarked upon what has been an exciting career in legal technology. My chief interests are in Twentieth Century History, Colonial America, Historiography and, most recently, the History of Science. I also write a satirical blog at The Diary of Humphrey Clarke. I hope my contributions to Quodlibeta capture something of the pleasure I get from trawling my dusty collection of second hand history books.

I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Master's degrees in Philosophy and Theology. I'm a generalist, my areas of expertise being epistemology, logic, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and science and religion. I did my philosophical studies in Continental Europe, and currently reside in the Pacific Northwest. I also write the Agent Intellect blog. In my mid-20s I decided to refute Christianity to set my conscience at ease. Two subjects I turned to in particular were science and philosophy. I accidentally argued myself into it.

Guess you're no fan of James Delingpole, are you?
Well, I'm skeptical of the skeptics. That is, I'm skeptical of claims that there's no global warming going on; the Northwest Passage is open, Greenland is able to plant crops they haven't been able to plant in centuries, etc. On the other hand, I've also grown skeptical of the claim that it's caused by human activity, and I'm contemptuous of the claim that we have to immediately change how we live to prevent it from becoming a disaster. The scientists, politicians, movie stars, and musicians who demand that I change my lifestyle but are unwilling to change theirs shows me that they don't really believe what they're shoveling.
Let's go with Rick Santorum! it's all a hoax masterminded by a conspiracy of thousands of scientists from many different disciplines who are working together in a way the UN can never do. Follow our God-given right to dominate and exploit the earth!
Indeed, let's go with Santorum. If he wins, the reaction of people like anonymous will be worth it. ;)
Jim S,
I think many skeptics nowadays do not claim that Global Cool/Warming isn't occurring but that we haven't the knowledge to include why it is, and that the greenhouse gas and Anthropological factor are overestimated for political claims and the peoples ignorance as to what is Climate-Science and Climate-Engineering.
