Flashback 2009: Debate Loser Romm: No More Morano Posts at Climate Progress

Flashback: Climate Depot has blood on its hands! Joe Romm: ‘Billions of people’s lives will be needlessly ruined if policymakers actually believe disinformation that Morano pushes day after day’

Former Clinton Admin. official Joe Romm claims 'unusual warmth' over the next 10 days 'will see near-ideal temps' for voters.

Warmist Romm advises: 'With this weather projected to continue over the next week, you have no excuse not to get your vote in.'

'It is evident that there are two recording stations at Nuuk. No serious meteorologist would declare a record just based on one, when the other was so much different. In any event, 75F (23.9C) is not even a record. According to DMI, the highest temperature recorded at Nuuk was 24.2C, back in July 1908. ..Using the official DMI data, April 2016 was indeed the warmest April on record at Nuuk, at a boiling hot 0.6C. However, this was only 0.2C warmer than the next warmest April, set in 1953. Joe ignores the fact that April 2015 and 2014 were two of the coldest on record, or the fact that Aprils in the 1930s and 40s were just as warm as in recent years.'

Dr. Judith Curry: 'I first heard of Marc Morano circa 2006, from Joe Romm.  Romm’s take on Morano was basically that of the climate ‘anti-Christ.’ I slowly built up an understanding of what Morano was doing, and I didn’t regard all of it as negative.'

'I’ve met Marc several times, and I have to say I like the guy.  He’s smart and he’s funny (he pokes fun at both sides), and as far as I can tell he is honest.'

'When he asked to interview me for the movie, I agreed to do it.  The interview itself was really fun.  I have no complaints about how I was portrayed in the movie.'

'I found the movie to be pretty entertaining and even interesting, especially the narratives developed around silly alarmist statements made by scientists and politicians.'

Chip Knappenberger tweetrd re Nye’s ‘national interest’ statement: “Sounds like Nye should work for the State Department.”

'I’m sure people will criticize me for participating in this, but then these are the people that have pretty much already sent me to Coventry, so . . . so what.'

Romm: 'If the Roberts court ultimately decides to kill the rule 5-4 then that decision will immediately become the leading contender for the worst Supreme Court decision in U.S. history. After all, if the nations of the world ultimately don’t avoid catastrophic warming and if the U.S. is seen as bearing a significant portion of the blame — two entirely plausible outcomes — then future generations and historians will be judging the Court’s decision while suffering in a world with a climate that has been irreversibly ruined for centuries.'

Mayor Richard Harvey of Nipigon, Ontario: 'My first thought was, Canada is cut in half.'

'Bridge heaves in the cold'

Ironically, climate activists have previously sought to blame bridge problems on 'global warming'.

See: Flashback 2007: Ex-Clinton Official Joe Romm Ties Minneapolis Bridge Collapse to 'Global Warming': Romm: 'Some may object to even asking the question, "Did climate change contribute to the Minneapolis bridge collapse?" My guess is those are the same people who deny that global warming is caused by humans or that it is a serious problem...I think it is a legitimate question to ask....But given that a remarkable 70,000 other bridges in the country are also structurally deficient, we should seek to learn whether such troubled bridges can take the ever-growing stresses generated by global warming.'
