Reading and listening to global warming sceptics can get a little tedious because they keep trotting out the same discredited arguments. So I’ve come up with a little game you can play to make it more interesting. I call it Global Warming Sceptic Bingo! Just tick the box when they use the argument next to it. Get four in a row and you win! A good talk to try it on is Bob Carter’s (At 37:00 on the 11 April 2005 Counterpoint here.)

In the 70s scientists were predicting an ice age # There is no such thing as global average temperature. # Scientists only say that global warming exists so they can get grants # The IPCC summary for policy makers does not reflect the body of the report #
Belief in global warming is a religion Fred Singer cited # Ice cores show that warming precedes increases in C02 # Science doesn’t work by consensus #
17,000 scientists signed a petition saying global warming isn’t happening # Satellites show no warming # Michael Crichton cited # Climate modeling isn’t scientific #
Urban Heat Islands contaminate the surface record # We can’t predict the weather a week in advance. How can we do it 100 years in advance? # Water vapour is 98% of the greenhouse effect. # The “Hockey Stick” is broken. #

Oh yeah, I included links to refutations of the arguments (except for the really stupid ones).

Update: William Connolley decides to refute the “can’t predict the weather” argument..
