Professor Richard Lindzen, formerly Alfred P Sloan Professor of Meteorology at Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a highly regarded physicist who once described climate change alarmism on The Larry King Show as "mainly just like little kids locking themselves in dark closets to see how much they can scare each other and themselves."John Christy, Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, who has written: "I'm sure the majority (but not all) of my IPCC colleagues cringe when I say this, but I see neither the developing catastrophe nor the smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for most of the warming we see."Judith Curry, Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, a former Warmist (and still a self-described "luke warmer") who has infuriated many of her more extremist colleagues by defending skeptics and by testifying to the US House Subcommittee on the Environment that the uncertainties in forecasting climate science are much greater than the alarmists will admit.
Should be interesting to see the FHer conspiracy theories on this one. Who put society up to it? The Koch brothers? The American Petroleum Institute? Dick Cheney? Sarah Palin?
Is your ilk going to damn NASA now like it does the UN, the Nobel, the Pulitzers, the concept of intellectual freedom if a university allows a president they do not like to speak, and any other body that doesn't march to their drummer?
ReplyDelete"A team of investigators from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York determined in a recent study that our planet will most likely continue to get warmer throughout this century, despite the recent slowdown recorded over the past couple of years. The group says that earlier predictions remain valid, despite the small drop in average temperatures."

That said, the warming trend may not be anthropomorphic, but air pollution does matter. Do you see China, do you see France, do you sometimes wear dirty underpants?

Yeah, NASA is a real nest of those Kool-Aid guzzlers. Also thinks it's most important mission now is "muslim outreach."
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah, China is filthy. That's a problem with a top-dwon economy.
Well our air here is generally good most places but your ilk gripes about governmental control in that realm and even wants to disband the EPA. Since it was established air and water quality have improved over what we used to have in many of our major metropolitan areas. One can only assume that it would still be business as usual with the same probs China has now were it not for the EPA. I suppose I assume wrong though, to your ilk and that your hallowed free market principles would have done that all on automatic. Actually, for cities like Cleveland, Birmingham, and Pittsburgh, the supposed free market that stole our steel jobs back in the 70s kinda worked to the advantage of air and water quality. Can't pollute if you don't have the polluters putting people to work now can you?
ReplyDeleteWe should not have cut NASA. I lived in a neighborhood in east Orlando that was full of engineers and technicians for NASA. I heard a lot about the blood letting.
ReplyDeleteThe steel industry in America in the 1970s was bloated, inefficient and unionized.
ReplyDeleteThe EPA is a totalitarian outfit determined to eradicate not only the coal industry but the very concept of private property.
All for NASA being vigorously funded as long as it sticks to its original mission and doesn't go messing with climate-change hooey or appeasing jihadists.
But consider this: How about a completely private-sector space-exploration field?
You really are convinced that there is no climate change eh? OK, gotcha. But don't expect the world to play along. Too many scientists are not convinced it is not occurring. At any rate, we got probs right here on God's green earth, nearing mass extinction for some weird reason we have yet to figure so we will just have to argue and get nasty about it. Can't you just see these leftist liberal sci geeks all in one room. Pukey isn't it?
ReplyDelete"The American Museum of Natural History/NY (AMNH-NY) conducted a survey about the likelihood of a mass extinction event. The majority of the 400 scientists polled were convinced that a “mass extinction of plants and animals is underway,” posing a threat to humanity in the next century. According to that same poll, the public is “dimly aware” of this threat of an extinction event."

If they don't "play along," they are enemies of common sense and freedom and must be defeated.
