There has not been a temperature increase since 1998
At the Porto, Portugal climate science conference 2018, Friends of Science Society spoke with Howard Dewhirst, a Professional Geologist from Australia, and a Fellow of the Geological Society of London and co-author of an important letter disputing the Society's 'consensus' position on climate science. The claim of a 97% 'consensus' amongst geologists is nonsense; Dewhirst notes that most geologists (who study earth's 4.5 billion year history of climate change) disagree with the IPCC view on climate. "We fully support the Society’s involvement in the climate change debate but believe that the apparent failures of AGW theory noted herein, calls for a re-think. Climate is and always will change, but the evidence that this is due primarily to CO2, is not forthcoming. If the strong natural forcings that are so well described in the GSL papers have more impact than CO2, then we should be spending more of our limited resources on finding ways to adapt to negative climate change."
