PS: What’s the state of climate science today?
MM:...More important than that, the data is coming in. It’s showing exactly what the models predicted: increases in certain types of weather extremes, warming of the globe, warming of the oceans, warming of the land, the dramatic retreat of arctic sea ice, a loss of ice from the major ice sheets, increase in sea levels.
...
PS: Okay, that shows the globe is warming. But it doesn’t necessarily prove humans are causing it. Do you have the smoking gun on that yet?
MM: Yeah. We’ve had it for 20 years. When the IPCC [the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] in 1995 in the second assessment report concluded that there is a discernible human influence on the climate, they weren’t just making that up. And the IPCC is a very conservative organization. So when they make a statement like that, you better believe there’s a whole lot of science to back it up.
That was the juncture at which the scientific community could collectively say that not only is the globe and the climate changing, but we can see the hand of humans in the changes we’re seeing. And again that’s back in 1995. With everything that’s happened since, the scientific community has come to much stronger conclusions.
...Frankly, [climate realists are] on the ropes right now with the events that are unfolding. They appear very shrill and completely without credibility when they’re denying the reality of climate change when we’re literally seeing it out our windows and on our TV screens. What you’re seeing now is climate change deniers on the defensive. Rather than being on the offense and attacking the science, they’re crying out in their shrill voices, “No, there’s no relationship at all between what you’re seeing; don’t believe those extreme weather events. Listen to the talking head denying climate change rather than your lying eyes.”

This is from a greenie in Saskatoon - which is a wet spot in the middle of the prairie who SUFFERED seriously, when the there was real heat in the prairies - before there was increased CO2. Brat should be ashamed of himself - if he's a native, then his parents should spank his scrawny butt.
So he writes an open letter to the only media star in the city, and he claims to have "won their bet", dude by evidence from Michael Mann who is, and is about to be proven as, the greatest fraud in scientific history.
Nothing that we have seen in "Weather" in the last 50 years is unprecedented during our modern human history of 10,000 years. A Steve Goddard showed today - the NASAs own forecasts from the 70s and 80s - were totally off.
And - he doesnt allow Gormley to rebut nor accept comments.
He's a disgrace to all the tough bastards that live out there.
