Point in case: Alex (dim)Witt at MSNBC was interviewing a mountain specialist discussing the mishap at Mt Everest. And she honestly slipped in...”do you think we had anything to do with the miuntain’s stability?” I couldn’t believe she actually said that.
I guess I would have believed in the “consensus”, except for the fact that EVERYTHING they predicted did not occur. Just the opposite happened, so they went from “Global Warming” to “Climate Change”. Perhaps they are thinking I wouldn’t notice.
“Climate denier”? Even for a piece of blatant agitprop that’s pretty stupid. “Sure, I deny there’s a climate!” said no one ever.
The Loo is however a bombastic statist usurper of public moneys attempting to help other fanatics extremists carry Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming across the finish line.
The scientific evidence is clear and convincing. Global warming is a fraud and a hoax.
Uncertainty has long been a subject for much scientific scrutiny -- hasn't she heard of people like Bayes and Popper? As regards Lewandowski's work, see: http://joannenova.com.au/2012/09/lewandowksy-oberauer-gignac-is-the-paper-bad-enough-to-make-history/
I don’t deny that there is a climate.
So a non-scientist thinks consensus has anything to do with science, and that anyone who disagrees with him is a benighted moron.
Sorry, no sale, and I’ve forgotten more of the relevant science than this propagandist will ever know.
....such as the cherry-picking of weather stations to include. Many sources of data in cold parts of the earth (e.g., N Russia) have been dropped from the averaging, which is obviously a cheap and easy way 0f getting apparent warming.
Yes, sometimes the truth seems twisted from the obviously true fiction believed by the smartest people in the room.
Tomorrow, Christians celebrate Easter. This is a word that does not appear anywhere in the original language. In fact, it is a holy day that was devised (much like Kwanzaa) by a government in collusion with a powerful church. This new holiday served the interests of government to cement control over an empire, and it gave great power to the church that government gave authority to execute “heretics”.
The original Apostles did not observe it, but observed Passover on the 14th of Nisan.
There are a surprising number of Christians today who observe Passover on the 14th of Nisan and would never dream of observing Easter.

Paul Rosenburg is apparently ignorant of why Recursive Fury was retracted. He writes:
“The result was a third paper, Recursive Fury: Conspiracist ideation in the blogosphere in response to research on conspiracist ideation, which was subsequently retracted by the publisher, following sharp attacks from climate contrarians even though the publisher found nothing scientifically or ethically wrong with the paper. Britains notoriously lax libel law (changed just this year) was supposedly the reason.”
The actual reason it was retract from the editor-in-chief: http://www.frontiersin.org/blog/Rights_of_Human_Subjects_in_Scientific_Papers/830
If Paul Rosenburg wants to know why people don’t believe in Climate Change, he should look it a mirror. It isn’t uncertainty; it is lack of trust that guys like him will tell the truth.

I searched for the word China to no avail. Anyone who claims combustion of carbon is producing a global crisis - but who says nothing about the fact that the Chinese are stamping out new coal-fired electric power plants like cookies - is promoting a political, not a scientific, agenda.
They can get back to us when they have something of scientific interest to discuss.
In the meanwhile, Phttt!
Communists get a pass. See: Obama, Barack, Kerry, John and Fonda, Jane.
The biggest problem the climate fear mongers have is that they present no coherent approach to a solution. I’m sorry but people are not going to agree to sacrifice their standard of living, especially if not one prominent proponent (I’m looking at you, Mr. Gore) is willing to move into a small house and take public transit.
The really strange part is that they could easily find common ground with almost all skeptics if they would just embrace the only technology that could realistically reverse CO2 production. I’m referring to nuclear, of course. Now before any Green weenies wet their pants, let me say for the record that boiling water fission is the stupidest technology ever, as it can (and has) led to meltdowns and produced copious amounts of rad waste that no one seems bright enough to figure out what to do with.
What they should really want to get behind is thorium molten salt and pebble bed reactors. These technologies were proven in the 1950’s, are lower maintenance, melt down proof, and can even be made to use today’s waste as fuel.
This is how people with half a brain can understand that the IPCC and all the other climate mongrels aren’t serious about reducing CO2, none of them are going all in for nuclear. The only logical conclusion is their sole motivation is to increase taxes on the middle class and raise the price on all the staples the poor need to survive, lining their pockets in the process.
He spews garbage. What a crock this article is!
“Its a simple fact that your typical scientist already knows intuitively: Uncertainty grows with risk, exposure and potential loss, especially with complex nonlinear systems, like the global climate system.”
Total nonsense. Intuitive knowledge fails the test of scientific proof or even of being supporting evidence. If the climate nazis want to get my attention, they will open up their studies and supporting evidence to examination. They will encourage meaningful peer review. Instead, they only scream for action now without dissent. Questions are subversive.
