Climate Science: The Constructing Explanations Phase | sunshine hours

I was reading a transcript of an interview with Hans von Storch on P Gosselin’s blog today.

In terms of my understanding of what is going on in climate “science”, he really hit the nail on the head.

“Q: Can the cause of the cold winters be identified?

HvS: One has to ask why are such explanations first found after the event appears.It indeed would have been much nicer if someone had said already in the year 2000: By the way, you have to expect harder winters in Europe because the Arctic ice is retreating in the summer. This claim today then would have been far more convincing. But it was the other way around: We noticed that something strange had happened, and then an explanation was constructed. Other explanations would also be possible.”

Bingo!!!

More Direct Words From Hans von Storch: Climate Science’s “Almost Medieval Political Understanding”

Why do you say the climate debate has reached a dead end?

HvS: In a kind of co-production, science and politics have generated the impression that certain political actions have to be taken based on resilient scientific results. Here citizens and society have no say in this, and are expected to just sit there and listen to the clever scientists explain how the situation is and what policy have to be implemented. This is almost a Medieval political understanding.

Richard Branson, the well known billionaire, has made no secret of the need for us all to cut CO2 emissions, in order to save the planet, not to mention the polar bears.

That is obviously why he is spending millions building his SpaceShipTwo, so that his millionaire luvvie friends can pay $200,000 a time to hitch ride to outer space, before coming back done 10 minutes later.
