Then you have clear evidence that the 3,000 pages of data and analysis
in the IPCC report are wrong? Please share it with us, rather than these
stupid National Enquirer type headlines.

But the fact remains that, for all their huffing and puffing, the
denialists have yet to prove any of the IPCC Report conclusions to be
wrong.

Well, it's not like the denialists here understand the science.

There is no compelling evidence that humans are making any significant
contribution to global warming. There are opinions, but they're not
evidence. What you have to understand is that science cannot make
such determinations. The earth's climate is too complex and not well
enough understood to be able to isolate one specific factor and
determine exactly what effect it is having on the entire global
climate. It can't be done.

I see no reason to increase the cost of energy production in order to
limit the amount of CO2 emissions.
