SAME PLAYBOOK, NEW REPORT: CLIMATE LITIGATION ACTIVISTS EMBEDDED IN NEW NAS ATTRIBUTION STUDY
Reforming the alarmist National Climate Assessment has begun – By David Wojick
Flashback: U.S. National Academy of Sciences Turns to Advocacy
Morano Excerpt: In the case of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, it has morphed into a warmist climate advocacy group. NAS, under Ralph Cicerone, is dedicated to producing science that fits the man-made global warming narrative.
Gore would have us accept as “unbiased”, the science from the NAS under Cicerone, despite the fact that NAS took $6 million from Congress and lobbied for a cap-and-trade bill. See: National Research Council Chaired by Warmist Ralph Cicerone: Turned Org. into political advocacy group: $6 million NAS study used to lobby for climate bill
Despite the fact that Cicerone personally lobbied the for nations to reduce emissions at a UN conference. See: This is ‘science’? NAS’s Ralph Cicerone goes political — Urges nations to reduce emissions at UN climate talks [email protected]
Despite the fact the U.S. National Academy of Sciences views on man-made global warming are predetermined. See: MIT’s Lindzen Slams: ‘Ralph Cicerone of NAS/NRC 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’
Climatologist ridicules NAS warming panel: ‘Another in a numbing succession of groupthink reports predicting end of the world unless U.S. dramatically reduces its emissions of Co2. Pronto’ — Report ‘blatantly political’: NAS report is ‘designed to be used by unelected regulators as scientific cover for what our legislature refuses to do, which is to enact expensive and intrusive restrictions on emissions of Co2′ — Several authors are environmental activists, and the National Academies’ President, Ralph Cicerone, has been on a mission to demonize carbon dioxide for decades’
NAS/NRC Climate Panel Fails The Laugh Test: ‘5 of 23 panelists are or were staffers for env. activist orgs’ — ‘Prior to publishing the NAS/NRC report, 19 of 23 made statements claiming global warming is a human induced problem and/or we need to take action to reduce CO2. That means 83% of panel was clearly and obviously biased before being selected. To claim that a report from such a small panel, comprised primarily of non-climate scientists and environmental activists, is objective and scientifically authoritative is a joke’
NRC predetermined outcome of report: ‘Of the first eight names, only one appears to be a climate scientist. The others are engineers, lawyers, and public policy types’ — See how the best ‘science’ politics can manufacture is produced — Media loves NRC’s politically manufactured ‘science’
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’
NRC predetermined outcome of report: ‘Of the first eight names, only one appears to be a climate scientist. The others are engineers, lawyers, and public policy types’ — The carefully crafted “consensus” of man-made global warming has unraveled.
Background on NAS/NRC & Ralph Cicerone:
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is Mark Hertsgaard’s strongest ‘evidence’ for climate doom?!
Cicerone’s Shame: NAS engaged in ‘bureaucratic attempt to cook the books’
MIT’s Dr. Richard Lindzen’s 48-page Congressional Testimony: ‘Increase in CO2 will lead to very little warming’ — ‘Data is being analyzed with aim of supporting, rather than testing models’ — ‘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.’
USA Today touts NRC report — Compares Climate Change Skeptics to Birthers
Cicerone’s Shame: NAS Urges Carbon Tax, Becomes Advocacy Group — ‘political appointees heading politicized scientific institutions that are virtually 100% dependent on gov’t funding’ —‘This is the same kind of foolishness that led the IPCC to overreach in proposing climate policies’
Meteorologist Joe D’Aleo of IceCap.Us: ‘NAS was established by Abraham Lincoln but under recent appointees and Pres. Ralph Cicerone it has become a joke’ — 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
Clueless USA Today: ‘Still skeptical? Could this be a tough week for climate skeptics?’ Why? ‘Multiple U.S.-funded reports and data all say same thing: global temperatures are rising’ — 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.’
