Repulsive: National Research Council Chaired by Corrupted Warmist Ralph Cicerone: Turned Org. into political advocacy group: $6 million NAS study used to lobby for climate bill [email protected]
WaPo: ‘Inevitable complex deniers willfully ignorant recalcitrance cynical catastrophic planetary damage drastic Republican…’ — ‘…preeminent rising seas spreading deserts intensifying storms loom significant risks caused by human activities’
‘The Wash. Post wants candidates to be quizzed on what they would do about ‘the rising seas, spreading deserts and intensifying storms’ — But natural disasters, topographic changes and population booms and busts have always occurred and will continue to occur. None of these phenomena can be scientifically tied to manmade emissions of CO2. So they are simply irrelevant sideshow issues’
Media hyped National Research Council (NRC) report exposed: ‘NRC report is the opinion of a mere 21 authors – nearly all of whom had a longstanding record of global warming activism’ — ‘Far from providing objective, expert proof of a global warming crisis, the NRC report provides objective proof that – despite their grandiose-sounding names – the National Academy of Sciences and National Research Council are more interested in political agendas than objective, fact-based science’
USA Today touts NRC report — Compares Climate Change Skeptics to Birthers
WaPo calls debate over! ‘Climate change denial becomes harder to justify’ — ‘Deniers are willfully ignorant, lost in wishful thinking, cynical or some combination of the three’ — Wash Post: ‘Every candidate for political office, including for president, should be asked whether they disagree with the scientific consensus of America’s premier scientific advisory group, and if so, on what basis they disagree; and if not, what they propose to do about the rising seas, spreading deserts and intensifying storms that, absent a change in policy, loom on America’s horizon’
Arctic Study Countered: ‘Studies have found that Arctic temperatures have fluctuated, and are now around the same level as they were in the mid-1930s’ — ‘Scientist Igor Polyakov of the International Arctic Research Center at the U. of Alaska, Fairbanks tracked Arctic temp records from latter part of 19th century until current decade, and found that 1930s marked the warmest time during that period’
As Hillary Clinton works against global warming in Greenland, some there don’t mind it
New NAS climate report; Same ol’ same ol’ junk science
Background on NAS/NRC’s Ralph Cicerone:
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is Mark Hertsgaard’s strongest ‘evidence’ for climate doom?!
For Shame: NAS Pres. Ralph Cicerone Turns Science Org. into political advocacy group: $6 million NAS study is used to lobby for global warming bill
Cicerone’s Shame: NAS engaged in ‘bureaucratic attempt to cook the books’
‘Incontrovertibility’ belongs to religion where it is referred to as dogma…Cicerone [of NAS] is saying that regardless of evidence the answer is predetermined. If gov’t wants carbon control, that is the answer that the Academies will provide…We should stop accepting term, ‘skeptic.’ Skepticism implies doubts about a plausible proposition. Current warming alarm hardly represents a plausible proposition.’
‘This is the same kind of foolishness that led the IPCC to overreach in proposing climate policies’
NAS is now ‘an advocacy group for government policy not a trusted impartial agency for science issues’
For Shame: EPA chief Lisa Jackson cancels Democrat fundraising appearance — only after media reports
Climate Depot Response: ‘More government funded propaganda reports from science political hacks like NAS Chief Ralph Cicerone only prove that the global warming movement has learned nothing from Climategate. The more scientists turn to political activism, the more their ’cause’ becomes a joke.’
