An Interesting Admission And An Error By Gavin Schmidt | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

It appears that Gavin incompletely appreciates the value of the upper ocean heat storage as a metric to diagnose the magnitude of global warming.  

Tear Down This Wall – Of Deceit | Real Science

In 1987, Ronald Reagan stood in Berlin and said “Tear down this wall!”

Two years later, NOAA did a study concluding that there had been no warming in the US since 1895.

They “Know” But They Don’t Know |

As of 2012, a dominant clique within climate science has demanded vast swaths of public funding, all the while frightening people the world over with Apocalyptic imagery and pronouncements. Science, in this one but important sense, has become anti-Science. If you’re a news consumer of the sort described, and you assert your passionate belief in the Science that you’ve been fed for the past few decades, meaning climate science above all, then you’re really asserting your passionate belief in anti-Science.

In the process, you’re living through a historical moment of singular significance. For not since the Enlightenment has Science been used so successfully to make otherwise rational people irrational. What is Earth’s temperature today? They don’t know. What was Earth’s temperature 30 years ago? They don’t know. Is 2012 a particularly warm year within the Ice Age that started three million years ago? They don’t know. Let’s be perfectly clear, the overwhelming majority of believers in global warming don’t know what they don’t know. They know that a journalist told them that a scientist told them that they should be afraid. And so they’re afraid. It’s the only reasonable response, right?

Wrong.

U.S. EPA: Playing Fast and Loose with Health and Welfare — MasterResource

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson says we face grave threats to human health, welfare and justice. She’s absolutely right. However, the dangers are not due to factory or power plant emissions, or supposed effects of “dangerous manmade global warming.”

They are the result of policies and regulations that her EPA is imposing in the name of preventing climate change and other hypothetical and exaggerated environmental problems. It is those government actions that are the gravest threat to Americans’ health, welfare, and pursuit of happiness and justice.
