   McCrybabbie just doing his job blaming everything on CO2. Having a pathetic media that supports him and low-information people getting their “information” from him makes it a pretty cool gig. Gee, where has that formula been repeated?

   OT, but a good read:

   The next time an environmentalist warns us of a pending disaster or that we are running out of something, we ought to ask: When was the last time a prediction of yours was right?

     And we should also ask, just how successful have we been at mitigation in the past.

     “We drew upon scientific (evidence-based) forecasting principles to audit the forecasting procedures used to forecast global mean temperatures by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) –leg “1” of the stool. This audit found that the procedures violated 81% of the 89 relevant forecasting principles
     We also did an audit of the forecasting procedures used for two papers that were designed to support proposed regulation related to protecting polar bears – leg “3” of the stool. On average, these procedures violated 85% of the 90 relevant principles.
     The warming alarmists have not demonstrated the predictive validity of their procedures. Instead, their argument for predictive validity is based on their claim that nearly all scientists agree with the forecasts. Such an appeal to “voting” is contrary to the scientific method. It is also incorrect.
     We conducted a validation test of the IPCC forecasts based on the assumption that there would be no interventions. This test found that the errors for IPCC model long-term forecasts (91 to 100 years in the future) were 12.6 times larger than those from an evidence-based “no change” model.
     Based on our analyses, we concluded that the global warming alarm is an anti-scientific political movement.
     We then turned to the “structured analogies” method to forecast the likely outcomes of this movement. In this ongoing study, we have, to date, identified 26 historical alarmist movements. None of the forecasts for the analogous alarms proved correct. In the 25 alarms that called for government intervention, the government impost regulations in 23. None of the 23 interventions was effective and harm was caused by 20 of them.”

   There aren’t many blokes I wouldn’t choose to go for a beer with but McKibben, Schmidt, Mann, Trenberth, et Al Gore are some of them.

   I hope the environmental alarmists solve the mystery of how it was possible for a tornado to materialize in an area named “Tornado Alley”. Maybe more research money would help them figure it out? 😉

   Since 2011 had too many tornado deaths and 2012 had too few, does McKibben think 2013 is “just right”? Of course not. As long as you have greedy Republican males, the weather can never be right.

   He’s leading the troll brigade from behind. Feading them the most bizar facts and links.
   Meanwhile he lies about not getting paid by these environmental groups he represents.

   He is a useful idiot that would be discarded as one of the first if the alarmists would win, but since that wil not be the case, I rather call him an annoying pop-up that will get blocked any time soon when the scam is over and proper reporting is restored.

   If stupidity were worth money, McKibben would be right up there with Bill Gates.

     Well I’ve done the maths his Global trotting along with Al Gores on promoting AGW/CC BS waffling a load of Hot Air.. Those 2 hypocrites sure have large carbon footprints.
