Shouting doesn't change facts on climate

I was pleased to see, in the rather agitated reply to my letter, Sunday Nation, that Mr Bruce Anderson did not question any of the figures I submitted, all of which showed a pretty cool planet, and no correlation between C02 levels and warming.
Bruce seemed rather concerned that I questioned the many scientists who were for man-made global warming. May I quote from Wikipedia:
“The Global Warming Petition Project, (Oregon Petition), is a petition opposing the Kyoto Protocol and similar efforts to mitigate climate change. It was organised by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM), a non-profit organisation run by Arthur B Robinson, Ph.D., till early 2008. The Bush administration withdrew from the Kyoto protocol implementation process in 2001. [Former US National Academy of Sciences President Frederick Seitz wrote a cover letter endorsing the petition.]
The Oregon Petition is the third, and by far the largest, of three prominent efforts to argue that the scientific consensus on global warming does not exist; the other two are the Statement by Atmospheric Scientists on Greenhouse Warming, and the Leipzig Declaration. The petition site currently lists more than 31,000, mainly scientist, signatories!
What was painfully obvious about the warming scam was the change of name from Global Warming to Climate Change, in November of 2008, when the forecast warm UK winter turned into a big freeze. Every weather event from then on, flood, drought, hurricane etc, is now conveniently caused by “climate change”, even the Thai floods!
My interest in the subject stems from a previous career as an Airline Training Captain, (East African Airways). This needed a deep study and understanding of meteorology, which was then applied on every flight, starting with briefings in the met. office.
