What is well proven however is that there have been periods in this planets history, where it was significantly warmer (forests in antarctica, no ice on poles) and significantly colder (recent ice age).

Yep..

its a longer list than that though....

how about...

3) Putting a price on Carbon will reverse carbon outputs

4) Even if it were possible to reduce human carbon emissions, no one can show the benefits that will result from the massive costs incurred.

5) Pretty much every predictive model created since the start of this hysteria has been wrong.

6) Long term high profile advocates and promoters of this hysteria have been proven to be wrong in relying on these predictions and no-one calls them to account. Seemingly gotten a lot richer though.

It is easier to make people believe a lie than it is to get them to believe they have been fooled, that is for sure.
