Letter signed by "500 scientists" relies on inaccurate claims about climate science

“The scientific content is completely inaccurate, undocumented, and fails to bring proof for its claims. The ending of the Little Ice Age in 1850 has no logical link with the fact that the Earth is warming now. Most past climate variations have been slower or less intense as the present one, and if they were as fast or severe they brought about mass extinctions in the biosphere. No explanation or proof is brought on the implausibility or inaccuracy of climate models (whose accuracy or uncertainty is precisely quantified and makes their use better than just random guesses).”

2°C is not known to be a "point of no return", as Jonathan Franzen claims

Claim:

The consensus among scientists and policy-makers is that we’ll pass this point of no return if the global mean temperature rises by more than two degrees Celsius

There is overwhelming evidence that current climate change is significantly caused by human carbon emissions contrary to claim in Townhall

Claim:

Human-produced carbon might be one of the factors [of climate change], but there’s simply no evidence that it is a significant one.

Claim that the Earth has cooled since Medieval or Roman times is contradicted by available data

Claim:

Peer-reviewed studies, geologic records, and all the studies have shown that we have actually cooled since the Roman Warming Period, and likely since the Medieval Warming Period.

Earth's orbit cannot explain modern climate change

Claim:

changes in the solar orbit of the earth, along with alterations to the earth’s axial tilt, are both responsible for what climate scientists today have dubbed as “warming”[...]. In no way, shape, or form are humans warming or cooling the planet

Washington Examiner op-ed cherry-picks data and misleads readers about climate models

“This article focuses only on specific lines of evidence that climate models disagree with observations. In doing so, the authors ignore research that helps to reconcile differences between models and observations. The authors do not consider alternate datasets and time periods in which models and observations agree. Models are one tool for understanding climate change; their overall credibility does not hinge on one variable, in one domain, over a specific time period, with respect to a set of imperfect observations.”

CO2 caused warming during past climate changes, notably as a feedback amplifying other factors

Claim:

CO2 does not cause climate change, it RESPONDS to it [...] temperature always changes first, and CO2 follows
