This image shows how much daily summer high temperatures are expected to increase from the 1990s to the 2040s, according to a climate model prepared by the Iowa State University Regional Climate Modeling Laboratory.

I stopped reading right there.

Later I will post the article pointing out that mathematicians and statisticians have never been invited to work on computer models which are used to make these doom forecasts.

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Anybody can (and does) abuse and misuse computer programs.

Here ya go...

Computer Modeling?

Prof. Takl is a bit selective in his models. Anyone living in the Midwest during the 1930’s will testify that it was far hotter then....many heat records from that time are still standing. If the good professor would include climate data starting at 1900 instead of 1990 I am certain he would get very different results.

“This is similar to saying there is no question now that the season is changing on a global scale. Once the cycle returns to a colder climate, we will likely not be able to support 6 billion people with North America under 2 miles of glaciers.”

What really concerns me about the global warming hysteria is that there has been a cooling period from the thirties until the seventies. If our lord and masters start basing their emergency services budgets on what happened ‘last year’ I’m concerned that we’ll be caught when winter comes roaring back.

We already throw enough money down the rathole of taxes for piss poor services but it’ll be magnified when money for plows and roadcrews is diverted to diversity or gay festivals.

"There is no question now that the climate is changing on a global scale," says Takle, an Iowa State University professor of geological and atmospheric sciences and agronomy. "The evidence is so overwhelming."

D'OH!
This guy is clearly a genius.
Nobody, but nobody I have heard of, who knows what he is talking about denies this. This is not what the acrimonious debate is all about.

The planet's historical cycles of cooling and warming clearly indicates that there have been hundreds of prior periods of warming. The current one would be no different.

This overeducated doofus, however, fails to make a similar dogmatic statement about the anthropogenicity of the current trend.

When he does so, we can discuss.
