Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. slams Biden climate report: It ‘pours fuel on the pathological politicization of climate science’ – ‘More a glossy promotional brochure’ than ‘a careful assessment of the scientific literature’

https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/original-sin Original Sin: The U.S. National Climate Assessment was Off Track from the Start By ROGER PIELKE JR. Excerpt: Over the past few days I have commented on X/Twitter about the just-released Fifth U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA). It is much more a glossy promotional brochure than anything resembling a careful assessment of the scientific literature on […]

Washington Post: ‘No climate crisis,’ A Nobel-winning physicist declares’ – 2022 Nobel Prize in Winner in Physics declares his dissent: – ‘I call myself a climate denier’

Washington Post: ‘He won a Nobel Prize. Then he started denying climate change.’ John Clauser shared the Nobel in physics last year. Now he’s a self-described ‘denier’ of the overwhelming scientific consensus on a warming planet.

John F. Clauser shared the Nobel Prize in physics last year before declaring Tuesday that “there is no climate crisis” — a claim that contradicts the overwhelming scientific consensus. The event showcased Clauser’s remarkable shift since winning one of the world’s most prestigious awards for his groundbreaking experiments with light particles in the 1970s. His recent denial of global warming has alarmed top climate scientists, who warn that he is using his stature to mislead the public about a planetary emergency. …

The other speakers included Marc Morano, a former Republican congressional staffer who runs a website that rejects mainstream climate science, and Alex Newman, a journalist for right-wing media outlets who has called for exposing the “climate scam.” Both men took multiple jabs at former vice president Al Gore and his 2006 documentary about the dangers of climate change.

Clauser, who wore a gray blazer with black jeans and Teva sandals, appeared buoyant as he took the stage. He cycled through a PowerPoint presentation that began with the exclamation: “Great news! There is no climate crisis!”

“Much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is not in peril,” Clauser told an audience of roughly a dozen people in the hotel conference room and others watching online. “I call myself a climate denier,” he added. “I’ve been told that’s not politically correct. So I guess I’m a climate crisis d-word person.” …

Clauser bragged that he met privately with President Biden in the Oval Office last year, when the 2022 Nobel Prize winners were invited to the White House. He said he criticized Biden’s climate and energy policies, to which he said the president replied: “Sounds like right-wing science.”

The Washington Post could not confirm this account; a White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. …

Clauser has not been welcomed everywhere. In July, he was scheduled to deliver a seminar on climate models to the International Monetary Fund’s Independent Evaluation Office, but then the event was “summarily canceled” with no explanation, the CO2 Coalition said in a statement at the time. On Tuesday, Clauser said he was initially told the event would be reformatted as a debate with an author of a report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But that idea “never went anywhere,” he said. Asked for comment, a spokesperson for the office declined to comment on the record and did not respond to follow-up questions about whether the event might be rescheduled.

Climate expert Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: Biden admin new National Climate Assessment is ‘about political promotion not scientific assessment’ – Report ‘carefully cherrypicks peer-reviewed climate research to construct a political narrative’

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: “The NCA carefully cherrypicks peer-reviewed climate research to construct a political narrative There’s an entire alternate universe of research that’s ignored Everyone with expertise in climate research can see how obvious this is & even those without expertise can easily see.” …

“The Fifth US National Climate Assessment is out Includes this to justify reliance of RCP8.5: ‘The scenarios do not have relative likelihoods assigned and are all plausible futures.’ This is simply false.”

Biden Admin’s New Climate Report Touts Use Of ‘Indigenous Knowledge’

https://dailycaller.com/2023/11/15/biden-admins-new-climate-report-touts-indigenous-knowledge/ By ROBERT SCHMAD The Biden administration’s newest report on climate change says it used “indigenous knowledge” to arrive at its findings. The fifth National Climate Assessment incorporated “indigenous knowledge” with scientific literature to assess “the science of climate change and variability and its impacts across the United States.” The report defines indigenous knowledge as “bodies of […]

Biden’s National Climate Assessment Links Climate Change To Pandemics & Pathogens

The Fifth National Climate Assessment report asserts that pandemics will become more likely and worse as the projected effects of climate change set in over time, the combined effects of which “[require] early collective action and systemic change” to avoid or mitigate.

“Climate-driven changes in ecosystems increase the risk of emerging infectious diseases by altering interactions among humans, pathogens and animals and changing social and biological susceptibility to infection,” and particularly heightens “the risk of infection among people at the front lines of exposure, especially those with fewer resources,” the report states.

Climate researcher rips ‘hottest in at least 125,000 years’ claim – ‘Any scientist supporting this ridiculous claim is selling snake oil’

A new report claims that the past 12-months have been the hottest in at least 125,000 years. The best proxy analyses can only refine temporal resolution down to about 30-years. Individual years?
