Came across this tidbit on Judith Curry's website. It's an excellent fact-filled debate between three top-notch actual scientists, Robert Carter, Richard Corfield and Michael McIntyre. Curry describes McIntyre as "likely to be the smartest guy in any room with climate scientists in it".

Curry's take-away notes:

We shouldn’t worry, we should just accept that this will happen and we should adapt to it and regard it as a business opportunity.


Its arrogant to assume that climate will remain static.


The whole language of climate change is designed to confuse the public and policy makers


Bob Carter says the IPCC has accomplished the inversion of the null hypothesis, where the onus is now on disproving dangerous anthropogenic climate change


We should focus on protecting people from natural hazards, and not worrying about what is causing them


It makes sense to encourage alternative energy and see what happens.


Bob Carter closed with this: no scientist can tell you whether it will be warmer or cooler in 2020, so we should prepare for both
