Because he can back his position with strong historical data, rather than speculation that ignores the historical data and contradicts previous theories.

ONE of the world's foremost meteorologists has called the theory that helped Al Gore share the Nobel Peace Prize "ridiculous" and the product of "people who don't understand how the atmosphere works".

Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, told a packed lecture hall at the University of North Carolina that humans were not responsible for the warming of the earth.

His comments came on the same day that the Nobel committee honoured Mr Gore for his work in support of the link between humans and global warming.
"We're brainwashing our children," said Dr Gray, 78, a long-time professor at Colorado State University. "They're going to the Gore movie [An Inconvenient Truth] and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."

Just remember – many of the acolytes of global warming claimed we were headed for a new ice age less not too long ago.

And remember as well that the period which they are marking as the baseline – the 1800s – are part of what historians have long referred to as part of the Little Ice Age”. Of course it is warmer now, given that the “norm” is set at the lowest point on the temperature charts.
