Alarmist fallacies
1Conclusion: ‘There’s a
consensus’
Classification: Headcount fallacy
Latin name: Argumentum ad populum
![Page 7: IT’S THE SUN: changes in solar radiance striking the ground explain recent temperature changes.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4f5503460f94b4698d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2Conclusion: ‘Experts agree’
Classification: Reputation fallacy
Latin: Argumentum ad verecundiam
![Page 8: IT’S THE SUN: changes in solar radiance striking the ground explain recent temperature changes.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4f5503460f94b4698d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3‘We can’t explain warming
without a strong effect from manmade CO2’
Fallacy of argument from ignorance
Argumentum ad ignorantiam

4‘Warming is accelerating,
so we are the cause’
Red-herring fallacy

6‘We add CO2 to the air:
it causes warming: so observed warming is
down to us’
Fallacy of false cause
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
![Page 12: IT’S THE SUN: changes in solar radiance striking the ground explain recent temperature changes.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4f5503460f94b4698d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
7‘We tell the models CO2
causes much warming: they tell us just the same’

8‘Warming makes hurricanes bad: Katrina was bad: so we
caused it’

manmade global warming caused it’
Fallacy of converse accident

ad dictum simpliciter

you up before the International Climate Court’

isn’t. So he’s wrong about the
climate.

An admission‘In climate research and modeling, we should recognize that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.’
IPCC (2001, §14.2.2.2)

It is more cost-effectiveto do nothing

No policy to abate global warming
by taxing, trading, regulating, reducing, or
replacing greenhouse-gas emissions
will prove cost-effective solely on grounds
of the welfare benefit from climate mitigation.
![Page 40: IT’S THE SUN: changes in solar radiance striking the ground explain recent temperature changes.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4f5503460f94b4698d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
CO2 mitigation strategies that are inexpensive enough to be affordable will be ineffective; strategies costly enough to beeffective will be unaffordable. Focused adaptation is better.
