Prominent scientists operating outside the scientific consensus on climate change urged Congress on Wednesday to fund “red teams” to investigate “natural” causes of global warming and challenge the findings of the United Nations’ climate science panel.
The suggestion for a counter-investigative science force — or red team approach — was presented in prepared testimony by scientists known for questioning the influence of human activity on global warming. It comes at a time when President Trump and other members of the administration have expressed doubt about the accepted science of climate change, and are considering drastic cuts to federal funding for scientific research.

The main argument I hear about CO2 emissions is that most atmospheric CO2 is C12. Would volcanic CO2 lack C14 from being underground so long?
Science isn’t decided by consensus. It is decided by evaluation of facts and the facts don’t support AGM.
AND PROSECUTE LIARS LIKE MANN WHO CAUSED $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BE WASTED WITH FAKE RESEARCH
Hmmm. Can I check the box for PhD in the field of “opposing dumbassedness”? Thanks for the link in any case. ;-)
Anything, ANYTHING, associated with the UN comes from losers.
Losers who couldn’t do anything in the private market.
Losers who couldn’t do anything even in the simpleton government service.
Losers who couldn’t publish a comic book.
Losers who are so repulsive, you’d forbid your daughter to be associated with them (unless she’s a Clinton/Dorkbama type).
Folks, these folks are so dumb, they couldn’t even work for CNN.
Believe them at your peril.
Heretics! They should be burned at the stake!
But that would cause more Global Warming. So they will have to be shunned, prosecuted and sent to re-education camps.
The main argument —should be— that man’s CO2 amounts to just 0.00136% of the atmosphere-
To put this in perspective- take a piece of paper, and place a dot on it the size of the pencil lead tip- that dot roughly represents how much CO2 is in the atmosphere due to man- or picture 3 5 gallon pails of 100 degree water added to an olympic sized pool of 95 degree water- Those three buckets represent the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere produced by man- now try to envision those three pails overwhelming the whole pool’s 95 degree water to cause ‘catastrophic pool temperature change’
It can’t be done- those 3 buckets will have a near zero effect on the pool’s temperature due to equilibrium-
Bottom line is there is nowhere near enough CO2 to cause any sort of change in temperature globally-
There are many other reasons that prove man can’t possibly be causing the change- but this is the main reason why- there simply is nowhere near enough CO2 to cause global climate change
There is no thick blanket of CO2 surrounding the globe preventing heat from escaping- There is so little CO2 that scientists should be shamed for even suggesting that man is ‘the primary cause of climate change’ or even ‘slightly responsible for climate change’- those scientists claiming such an idiotic claim should resign their posts
Require these “scientists” to reject any “research” that hasn’t followed the scientific method.
It is ironic that the so-called “climate deniers” are the ones that believe climate changes naturally. Meanwhile, the ones who believe climate doesn’t change naturally are called the “climate believers” and are also the ones who call those who believe climate does change naturally, the deniers. Something is very wrong here.
It is the “believers” who are the deniers.
“It comes at a time when President Trump and other members of the administration have expressed doubt about the accepted science of climate change”
Science is never “accepted”. It constantly subject to questioning and testing - which is why it is called “science”.
And Climate change is a reality no one questions. The only question is how much anthropogenic activities impact it, and so far, the verdict is nearly not at all on the macroclimate level.
After being exposed to unscientific propaganda blaming mankind for global warming, it will be heartening to see actual science being discussed.
Maybe some of the leftists will learn about and appreciate the scientific method. Maybe the alphabet channels will learn a little about real science. Maybe even Bill Nye will learn something.
"Congress is listening"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Congress may be listening to politically correct climate issues, but Congress will have to wait until the states amend the Constitution to expressly grant Congress the specific power to deal with climate issues before Congress can do anything about it.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
In fact, if Justice Gorsuch is approved but turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
“...the following critique is directed at the article and not at you. “ Well my feelings are hurt anyway. LOL!
If the current CO2 rise is volcanic, then we would have to explain why now. There are 20k years of high res (annual) ice cores with CO2 measurements. No big rises or falls in CO2 until the recent one. There are other CO2 proxies that show up to 50-60 ppm rapid rises. But our current rise is 120 and growing at 2ppm per year with no apparent rise in volcanic activity.

And you believe those figures because...? Haven't they lied to us about almost everything before?
That said, the main reason it is probably fossil is that there are no other viable explanations or combination of explanations. New volcanic activity has not been observed to correlate with the rise, and ocean outgassing from ocean warming is not large enough to cause the rise. If the rise were from warming, we would need 12C of ocean warming in the last few centuries. That's not plausible.
“Prominent scientists operating outside the scientific consensus”
The so-called journalists of today cannot even recognize when their phrases are constructed with an oxymoron. If, as is true, many “prominent scientists” are not in agreement with the alarmist climate agenda, then, quite factually THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS.
