Rees in Great Court, Trinity
“Lord” Rees is the President of the Royal Society, which used to be a highly respected scientific organisation, but which is now reduced to a hysterical advocacy group for global warming. This is demonstrated admirably by Rees, who tries to sweep the entire Climategate, Hurricanegate, every-other-kind-of-gate, under the rug with this one sentence:
‘My personal take is the key bit of evidence is the rise in CO2 concentration plus simple physics. If we had no data other than that, that would be enough.’
Phew, thanks for clearing that up. We can all go home now.

P.S. I am ashamed to say that Rees is currently Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, which is my old college. I cringe with embarrassment.
Australian Climate Madness 
I am reminded of something a physics professor told me when I started college. There is an answer for everything…. neat, simple, and wrong.
‘My personal take is the key bit of evidence is the rise in CO2 concentration plus simple physics. If we had no data other than that, that would be enough.’
What.. you mean like correlations between CO2 and temperature over the past millions of years?
I can understand why you said “..used to be a highly respected..”. They don’t deserve any for that kind of comment.
