Climate perspective from The Energy Advocate -existential threat or not

 Here are some links that provide perspective on the climate change debate.  My take is that there is not good evidence to accept the hypothesis that climate change is an existential threat and that there is good evidence to accept the hypothesis that that those who think it is are wrong.

IPPC's Confidence Grows as Models Get Worse

Doing The Obvious Linearizing

Go to the plots.  The actual data suggests that temperature sensitivity to CO2 is substantially below what the climate models suggest.  Which is right - models with predictions that don't match what happens  or the data?
