More Hypocrisy from the Team « Climate Audit
Trenberth wildly overstates Dessler 2011 as well by saying that it “quantifies the magnitude and role of clouds and shows that cloud effects are small”. “Quantifying the magnitude and role of clouds” is an enormous undertaking and would take hundreds of pages of analysis.

We need charismatic scientists to carefully explain what's happening. We do not need to exaggerate the effects of the global warming. On doing so, only empowers skepticism. This is where your guest Al Gore has made painful mistakes, according to Milner.

(SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER)

GORE: Well, there are two points, and I heard them both clearly. I reject the idea that the effects have been exaggerated. Indeed, there have been those who have said I've underplayed them, and the actual results in the real world have actually been worse in the last few years than were predicted...20 percent of what we put up there today will still be there 20,000 years from now.
