How interesting. An internal report by the Global Climate Coalition, a now-defunct oil-industry group that led the last systematic effort to deny global warming, has revealed that they themselves accepted the core ideas of AGW:
“The scientific basis for the Greenhouse Effect and the potential impact of human emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 on climate is well established and cannot be denied,” the experts wrote in an internal report compiled for the coalition in 1995.
The original document is provided at the link.
Why do I suddenly feel like smoking a cigarette?
Also worth reading is a rather good summary of the real and alleged errors in the IPCC report.
And this.
