Steven Running promotes the greatest scientific fraud ever

MORAN - "It's showtime!" exclaimed Dr. Steven Running, professor of ecology at the University of Montana and member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as he spoke last month to members of the Yellowstone Business Partnership at Jackson Lake Lodge.
...
Running shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, as a lead author for the Fourth Assessment of the IPCC, together with Al Gore and 600 fellow scientists around the world.

"Hey, one/six-hundredth of a Nobel Prize isn't bad," he joked.
...
So why do anything? Because, said Running, to do nothing is to invite world-wide disaster.

Coastal flooding will affect billions of lives, he said, especially in the great coastal cities around the world. Oceans will become acidic, "like the fizz in soda pop," killing shell fish and coral reefs, Running added.

Greater heat energy in the oceans will intensify hurricanes, he said. "The number of hurricanes won't go up, but when they do spawn, the probability of getting a more powerful storm gets bigger," said Running. Weather scientists are now expecting a Category 6 hurricane within a few decades, he said - something the world has never seen before (175 mph or greater winds).
