rehash of last weeks story

The introductory “Summary for Policymakers” — the only portion usually quoted in the media — is written not by scientists at all, but by politicians, and approved, word-by-word, by political representatives from member nations. By IPCC policy, the individual report chapters — the only text actually written by scientists — are edited to “ensure compliance” with the summary, which is typically published months before the actual report itself.

It is “interesting” to note that Bush is cursed by the AGW extremists for “throttling science” and “suppressing science” by requiring Hansen (NASA’s screaming AGW extremist) to vet his POLITICAL conclusions about economic and energy policy with his superiors and the WH before making international statements - and the Bush WH has NEVER edited Hansen’s scientific statements, but the IPCC ACTUALLY EDITS their science statements to match their political statements!

First of all, where is the paper referred to? He makes no reference to where you can find Dr. Klaus-Martin Schulte’s work.

Check the article’s comments - This is a preview of what will be published.

Skeptical Inquirer has concluded that global warming due to CO2 emissions is real, and that opposition to that conclusion is uninformed and biased against science.

From the “Skeptical” article in that link.

CFI’s paper on global climate change, written by Stuart D. Jordan, Ph.D, offers compelling evidence from a large body of research that global climate change caused by global warming is already underway and requires our immediate attention. As the paper explains, the probability is extremely high that human generated greenhouse gases, with carbon dioxide as the major offender, are the primary cause of global warming and that this global warming will produce harmful climate change. The paper also points out, however, that much can be done now to mitigate the effects of global warming and the associated climate change. Difficulties in addressing the problem are not caused primarily by unavailable technology, but by the lack of sufficient incentives to implement the new technologies more aggressively.

Dr. Stuart D. Jordan is a Senior Staff Scientist (Emeritus) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Dr. Jordan is a Rhodes Scholar and he has published dozens of articles in refereed scientific journals.

Saying something, or claiming something, does NOT make it true. Their “conclusion” above requires destroying the US economy for ???? - what? Reducing CO2 emissions to the 1990-levels, 1970 levels, or even to the 1890’s will NOT change global temperatures. But it will destroy the US economy, the AGW extremists’ goal.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I can refute (by observation and by fact) the premise of every sentence in this article’s first 20 paragraphs.

Nuff said.

I repeat, simply CLAIMING that AGW is “established fact” and is a “major threat” does not make it so.

Destroying America’s economy - and that is the stated and understated goal of the EU bureaucrats, the AGW extremists, and the international socialists who wish to begin charging these carbon taxes - will NOT impede, slow down, nor stop AGW.

Because the measured 1/2 of one degree increase in mid-level atmospheric temperatures is NOT due to the presence, or absence, of the American economy. Nor of human life elsewhere on this planet.

consensus is just code for majority by plurality.

It is a negotiation trick used in messy negotiations with no one opinion and often with people who have ego agendas.
