And that's why you get inane statements like this. The IPCC reports are based on the peer-reviewed, published work of literally
thousands of chemists, atmospheric scientists, oceanographers, and physicists. Accusations against their credentials in the fields of "solar cycles, changes in ocean currents, the sensitivity of climate to greenhouse gases, or the planet's carbon cycle" are
laughable.

Incidentally, I'm going to meet some of these people next week. UIUC is sponsoring a conference on climate change, and Michael Mann is giving a lecture, along with several other scientists who are or have been authors of IPCC reports, many of whom are on the faculty here.
