Climate Change (Page 2)

So you guys expect Al Gore to come out of the meeting and say. "the president-elect thinks I'm an idiot"?

Nice spin, Al.......100 carbon credits for that one. LOL

Why would anyone waste time meeting with Al Gore?

Sounds like a ringing endorsement to me.  haha

CLCV Statement on Pruitt’s Nomination for EPA Administrator

Oakland, CA – In response to news reports that Trump will nominate Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt as EPA Administrator, California League of Conservation Voters CEO Sarah Rose issued the following statement:

“The naming of a climate denier like Scott Pruitt to head the EPA is nothing less than an effort to undermine the agency’s core mission to safeguard our environment. On the campaign trail President-elect Trump vowed to break America’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement, to open our public lands to drilling, and to dismantle the EPA. By nominating Scott Pruitt he’s making it clear he intends to follow through on those promises.

“Pruitt has sued the EPA, has fought environmental protections enacted by President Obama, and has denied the science of climate change itself. He represents the very threats the EPA should protect against, not be headed by. The California League of Conservation Voters calls on our Senators to reject this wrong-headed nomination which puts our families and communities at risk.
“California has a unique role to play. We are the sixth largest economy in the world. The decisions we make here, the policies we create, and how we respond to Trump’s attacks on our environmental protections will determine the pace of progress these next four years. We must organize to defend our hard-fought victories because every Californian deserves clean air to breathe and clean water to drink.”

Trump met with another climate change warrior, Leonardo DiCaprio.  Maybe he'll invite ol' Sarah Rose up to the Trump Tower for a meeting as well.

Most definitely no politics in climate science...

There are many things I'm encouraged about with a Trump Presidency, but getting the political bullying and corruption out of climate science is up at the top of the list.  It truly is an important field and needs to be studied in addition to sustainable energy, but it's a corrupt pile of garbage at this point. 

Thoughts on this?

Federal scientist cooked climate change books ahead of Obama presentation, whistle blower charges

I know the "data" has been continually modified by NOAA to be colder and colder in the past to make current temps warmer and warmer.  This seems to give a little more insight into the corruption.

Well obviously I'm right so that's easy...  haha

I think you're right to an extent on the timeline, but IMHO the "alarmist science" has been proved wrong for many years and every year that goes by it's harder for them to keep up the charade. There's no question the climate is changing and always has, and there's no question man is contributing to it, but the game is up for the climate alarmist hacks who have used fear to get rich.

Literally the second google search result. Gives a little insight into the corruption of the deniers.  But I'm sure since you're so dedicated to understanding what's actually happening, you already investigated both sides of this and knew the Daily Mail / Fox News article is nothing more than a click-bait headline followed by a BS accustation.

I see California got record snow and rain to end the record drought that was surely caused by global warming.  I'm sure the record snow was also caused by global warming.  It'll probably spawn a record mosquito crop which will also be caused by global warming.  Last weekend we shot over 100 quail in Texas out of what is being called a "quail explosion"......the biggest hatch on record....no doubt caused by global warming.  Meanwhile, the human population on earth grows by about 1.1%, or 80,000,000 each year and I need a friggin' scientist who thinks his time here is special to tell me what's going on.  I bet our planet can't wait to shed itself of our dumb arses.

BTW - the snow geese are in the middle of a massive northward migration this weekend on this warm front.  I don't know how many flocks I've watched move up the Mississippi River Valley.  It's about 14 days earlier than last year.................OH GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 95 in the Texas Panhandle today.......global warming will likely kill most of the young quail that global warming produced.

The global warming industry cracks me up.

I'll get on board with the climate change warriors as soon as they stop having kids, eating, driving, flying, and using products made in factories around the world......until then, they are just a bunch of "holier than thou" types or, worse,  folks trying to make a buck off of the latest "science". 

I'm worn our listening to people whining about what mankind is doing to this planet while they participate in activities that they claim are causing the problem.

So take this from someone who doesn't have any special expertise on compiling temperature data sets, but my hunch would be that, yes, those temps would be included in the data for the year.  The temp record is the temp record, it's not the place where the contribution of GHG's to temperature increases are teased out.  Heat wave data on land isn't excluded so I don't see why it would in the ocean either.  But if you're really interested in it, what I would suggest is finding a scientist who worked on the blob or does ocean temps and email them the question.  Most scientists I know are passionate about their work and love to talk about their research and would be psyched that someone from the general public is interested in what they're doing.
