The Conflict
As the Spencer-Christy method to measure atmospheric temperatures was being developed—a method that would permit scientists to test the greenhouse gas warming hypothesis in the Charney Report—international organizations did not wait to act. They were being mobilized to control greenhouse gases that the untested hypothesis of the Charney Report guessed would cause global warming. The international solution proposed was to control emissions of carbon dioxide.
Yet a conflict arose among scientists over the question of whether the Charney Report's hypothesis had been adequately tested, and the dispute became very public because governmental organizations with large public funding were involved. The conflict, in other words, was and remains largely political, not scientific, and it is financed by governments.
Independent researchers have tested the Charney Report's hypothesis against atmospheric temperature data, which now extends over 37 years, and found the hypothesis wanting. The Report's assumptions are simply not supported by empirical observation of nature. The hypothesis needs to be modified or discarded. As Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate in physics, liked to say, "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong."
From Warming Fears to Cooling Claims
The lack of significant warming in recent years has become such an embarrassment that many desperate persons are now abandoning the term "global warming" in favor of the term "climate change"

In addition, some political advocates of climate alarmism have invented the claim that increased carbon dioxide will worsen extreme weather events like hurricanes, but this, too, has no basis in broadly accepted theory or in empirical observation. As the Swedish climate scientist Lennart Bengtsson has written, "there are no indications of extreme weather in the model simulations, and even less so in current observations."
Similarly, professor Roger Pielke Jr. of the University of Colorado, Boulder, has published extensively on extreme weather, including at the center-left website FiveThirtyEight.com run by Nate Silver. He writes, "There is scant evidence to indicate that hurricanes, floods, tornadoes or drought have become more frequent or intense in the U.S. or globally." But in the same article he observes that even though the U.N. IPPC backtracked on earlier claims related to extreme weather, he and his findings were attacked by the Obama White House
...
The failure to find physical evidence that supports the Charney Report's assumptions does not stem from any lack of funding—from both governmental and private sources—in strong support for projects trying to find such evidence.
