I’m a climate scientist. And I’m not letting trickle-down ignorance win

Even if they were right, the logical thing to do would be to shut down all manufacturing in China, etc, and move it all here, because the US produces stuff so much more efficiently, emissions-wise. Any takers?.......[crickets]....no? Well, then, I guess we know now what is and what is not your real agenda, and whether you buy your own BS. FO, commie bitches.

Oh look another “scientist” who fails to say anything scientific when discussing the science of REPUBLICANS WANT YOU TO DIE.

It is common knowledge that climate change exists. The evidence exists of past ice ages (plural), core samples, etc... is anyone disputing that the earth has shifts in climate? I would think not.

The deception is in the taxation and profiteering involved present day. The deception exists with false data collected from far less than optimally placed sensors. The deception is an almost complete disregard of solar phenomenon and studies which clearly demonstrate that out solar system is, in fact warming up, perhaps induced by our sun and cycles which are being astutely observed for the first time in recorded history.

Earth is a dynamic planet. These dynamics occur at very slow increments. What astounds is the blame game for natural occurring cycles and the pilfering of taxpayer dollars to further the sham.

For the good of science, scientists need to make plain the fleecing and the flawed data which science is clinging to.

Climate change is NOT an enterprise or a manifesto! It is a science and deserves to be regarded as such.

Just prior to Acid Rain, the cry was global cooling. going so far as to making a really bad movie back in the 70’s.
global cooling didn’t get any traction so they had to change he talking points to warming and all of the bull sh*t that it entails. Blaming Trump is also really stupid since the total disbelief started long before any know comments by him.

Lots and lots of money will be redistributed and huge fortunes will be made for the right people.

IS THIS THE DAGGER IN THE BLACK HEART OF THE GLOBAL WARMING SCAM??
This is a long article but I think many will find it to be of enough interest that it is worth the time for reading it.
This court case in Canada along with another Canadian court case that is scheduled on a court docket for this fall could very well mark the “beginning of the end” of the global climate change scammery.
Now, how about taking a big chunk out of the fat butt of the scummiest master of scammery — The Goracle?

Ben Santer.
The man who single-highhandedly (and without supervision or editors) re-wrote the first UN IPCC report Summary for Policy Makers to make it much more useful to politicians and climate astrologers - and the bureaucrats who fund them! , but less factual to scientists and readers.

Wrong. You were ignorant when you ignored cloud cover in your computer models. That is why they have failed to predict even the fake temperature rise accurately.

When “trickle down” is invoked, you know the argument is BS. That is a favorite Alinskyite phrase.

I’m going to have to make a cut and paste about this.

OK, I’m many things including a mathematician, engineer, and physicist.

Short version: man made CO2 has NO IMPACT on climate.

Why? CO2 absorbs heat energy (infrared radiation or IR) in only two narrow frequencies. That’s its absorption spectra.

In those frequencies, the CO2 in the atmosphere absorbs 100% of all available IR radiated from the ground in the first 100m or so. Thus, if you increased CO2 by 1,000%, NO MORE IR (HEAT) WOULD BE ABSORBED. The ground may get a little hotter, but the overall climate would not be affected. Also, there is this thing called “wind” that churns the air, so even the ground temperature probably would not be affected.

Any remotely skilled physicist understands this, which why tens of thousands have signed the petition saying AGW is bunk.

But many people, esp. journolists (sp intentional) wouldn’t know what an absorption spectra is if the their lives pendened on knowing.

PS CO2 is also called “plant food” and essential to the life of us CARBON BASED life forms. Sheesh.

You put in a long apprenticeship. You spend years learning about the climate system, computer models of climate and climate observations. You start filling a tool kit with the statistical and mathematical methods you’ll need for analyzing complex data sets.

After decades of seeking to advance scientific understanding, reality suddenly shifts, and you are back in the cold darkness of ignorance the whole country finally gets wise to your scam.

It’s really hell when the research money you receive from the government, and you depend on, and you only receive by “proving” climate change is suddenly cut off.

That reminds me of when my family visited a second or third cousin in Brevard County that had had worked in the Apollo astronaut training program until the funding was cut. He was working as a police dispatcher. A little over qualified, but hey, what are you gonna do?
