King Canute vs. the climate planners: UN treaty would have no climate impact even if you accept their ‘science’
Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry: 'There is little to no impact on the global climate to be expected from planned U.S. emissions reductions. Even in the unlikely event that each of these countries actually manages to meet the obligations that they have already made, the amount of warming prevented by the end of the 21st century will be a few tenths of a degree (and that is if you believe the climate models).'
Humility in the face of the unknowns of the complex climate system, not to mention global human societies, seems in short supply in the hyperconfidence of the Obama administration in dealing with climate change. We can anticipate a change in the Trump administration; here’s to hoping for a dose of sanity in dealing with energy policy, the environment and reducing vulnerability to extreme weather events.
