Lorne Gunter: Global warming is afraid to come out of hiding | Full Comment | National Post

But if nothing else, this new theory by Dr. Trenberth and others shows how uncertain the climate-change theory still is, despite the assertions that the science is settled. If it were so clearly established, the science would not need some new, elaborate theory to explain away its inconsistencies.

What’s more, this latest release clearly shows that many of the world’s leading climate scientists have suspected for some time that the Earth was not warming as fast as predicted. However, almost none of them have admitted that uncertainty publicly. Why? Were they afraid we’d stop listening to their alarmist warnings if they admitted the planet wasn’t warming as much or as quickly as they worried?

There is simply too much sleight-of-hand and doubt remaining in climate science to turn over our way of life to alarmists who themselves admit — at least privately — that much uncertainty remains.

Bill Clinton: If you're an American, the best [better than finding a cure for cancer?] thing you can do is make it unacceptable to be a climate change denier

“Canada requires all this gas to heat houses, and I’m sure it’s expensive. For us, we’re growing in the winter when it’s 65 degrees at night. There was one night in February we wished we had it. But we haven’t needed it other than that in 55 years.”

Bill Clinton: GOP Climate Denial Makes U.S. "Look Like a Joke" : TreeHugger

The ex-president seemed exasperated: "We have all this space between the right and the left to debate," he said, "and we can't even have a conversation". This is primarily because the GOP has made a unified effort to deny the root of the problem in the first place.

An audience member then asked how we might go about changing the current state of affairs.

"How do you make it politiclly unacceptable?" Clinton said. "Argue? Boycott? Invest?"

You can't win the argument, Clinton said, until you demonstrate that the problems that the deniers are worried about are really opportunities. That there "are economically advantageous ways" to respond to climate change.
