‘EMBARRASSING’: CLIMATE EXPERT EXPLAINS WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE WHITE HOUSE’S NEW CLIMATE REPORT
The Daily Caller ^ | 8:36 AM 11/24/2018 | CHRIS WHITE

Posted on 11/24/2018 8:47:39 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

A climate change report published Friday contains cherry-picked data that appear designed to warn of the consequences if steps are not taken to mitigate global warming, according to one climate expert.

The scientists who wrote the National Climate Assessment (NCA) used unreliable information that exaggerates the risks global warming poses, University of Colorado Prof. Roger Pielke Jr. noted in a series of tweets. He fears the report will make it easier for critics to dismiss future climate studies.

“By presenting cherrypicked science, at odds w/ NCA Vol,1 & IPCC AR5, the authors of NCA Vol.2 have given a big fat gift to anyone who wants to dismiss climate science and policy,” Pielke Jr. wrote in a tweet Friday shortly after the White House released the report. “Embarrassing.”

These signers include four NASA astronauts, at least two Nobel Prize winning physicists, 9,029 Ph.D.s and some of the nation’s top climatologists. Only U.S. scientists are included in this particular petition. Only relevant scientific fields are included.

Oh yeah, what do they know? We should put a big umbrella in the sky to help block those evil solar rays from bombarding us. Yeah, that’s the ticket. ;-)

Easier? With all the nonsense they spew and their ALREADY unproven predictions, I didn't think it could get any easier!

They keep pushing "the date of apocalypse" further down the road each time we get close to their latest prediction...

Amazing how all their “by dates” are A.D. ~2100.

The problem for the alarmists is that planet Earth just hasn't gotten the memo. St. Gore has lousy track record and so have all of the others. But that never stops them from issuing new dire predictions if money isn't sent action isn't taken immediately.

Dear Prof. Roger Pielke Jr

Please don’t wory over it.

Nobody believes this BS anyway.

Also- we are all going to freeze anyway.

signed a petition strongly rejecting as unproven the hypothesis of man-made global warming or climate change.

That's not what the petition says. It states: There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases is causing, or will, in the foresseable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects on the upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth

It does not say that manmade warming is a "hoax" or anything like that. There is well supported science, theoretical and empirical, that manmade CO2 creates warming. The past amount is unknown, the future is especially unknown given substantial negative feedbacks. What it does say is that weather is not being disrupted, it is natural and varying as it always has been. It also rejects the idea of "catastrophic" warming, that is, warming with costs that start to exceed the benefits of warming.

You really should read articles before attacking them.

He is saying that the warmists are using cherry-picked data.

“A climate change report published Friday contains cherry-picked data that appear designed to warn of the consequences if steps are not taken to mitigate global warming, according to one climate expert.”

You are correct, the global warming watermelons seldom talk about the sun, it is all about man caused stuff.

It is like the sun has no impact on our weather to them.

Note: Many of us ill-informed citizens expect all too much from President Trump. This is a case in point of that problem. This study is ‘trumpeted’ as being a product of the Trump Administration. While I do not know it for certain, I rather expect that the contracts for this work were produced and DIRECTED to amenable researchers, during the final year of the Obama Administration. Take heed and treat as opposition reporting!

Hard to ignore the politics of it, though.

Meaning that communists hate this country and free markets in general, so they concocted the idea that the use of fossil fuels will kill us and the world.

The only real blip on the radar is from the noise they’re making. Not from the negligible effect of carbon on climate.

I posted an article stating lack of sun activity means we are in for cold weather. Understanding climate warmist activists are challenging such information and having read the quote you have, would the article be “cherry picking” in their eyes??

Too funny - a guy who is all for making fake variables to show what he wants it to show, criticizes the President for cherry-picking because he cited some real examples....”Can’t change settled science so kneel and pledge an oath to the scientists who defend Mommy Earth”....
