Real Climate Science

Osama bin Laden wasn’t killed by a Navy SEAL team, he was straight up executed, Michael Moore told TheWrap on Wednesday,

The “Fahrenheit 9/11” director has been setting Twitter aflame Wednesday afternoon urging the Obama administration to come clean about the circumstances surrounding the terrorist leader’s death — particularly in light of the White House’s shifting account of last weekend’s firefight in Abbottabad.

The Oscar-winning director has been tweeting about his belief that Bin Laden should have received a trial, and his theory that Pakistan was keeping the Al Qaeda head under house arrest. TheWrap grilled Moore about his controversial views.

Is Obama lying about how Bin Laden died?

Common sense tells you he was executed. That was the plan all along. Just tell us that and quit treating us like children.

I have a lot of faith in Obama, but we’ve received three different stories in three days. We heard, “There was a firefight.” “He used a woman as a shield.” Now it turns out none of these things were true. He wasn’t armed.

On the loss of credibility, climate science itself is to blame. The science has stirred up scientifically unfounded expectations, says von Storch. The demand that the public has to rapidly accept instructions on how to act in order to save the planet has blurred the boundaries between policy and science. As a result, science has not become something that has to do with “curiosity”, but rather gives the impression that it’s all about pushing a pre-conceived value-based agenda: “As scientists we have become political tools who are to deliver sought arguments to get citizens to do the right thing.”

The problem is not ‘that the public is is too stupid, or uneducated’, but that science has failed to deliver answers to legitimate public questions. Instead they have said, “believe us – we are scientists’. There are many questions among individuals and they have only gotten a ‘stroppy reply,’ Storch finds.”

A Pakistani official rejected U.S. accounts of a bloody firefight, saying: ‘Not a single bullet was fired from the compound at the U.S. forces and their choppers. Their chopper developed some technical fault and crashed and the wreckage was left on the spot.’

Four bodies are understood to have been recovered by Pakistani officials from the compound, including those of the two brothers – who have been reported to be behind the construction and management of the house. One is believed to be the crucial courier, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, who inadvertently led the CIA to Bin Laden. A third body was that of one of the brother’s wives. The other casualty is believed to be a guard who has yet to be identified or possibly a domestic servant.

Several of the survivors, including Bin Laden’s wife, were injured in the 40-minute firefight that preceded the al-Qaida leader’s death.

The White House have confirmed that Bin Laden’s wife received a bullet wound in the calf during the assault.

No doubt two construction workers, one of their wives, a servant, and a courier with a water pistol pitched a fevered 45 minute gun battle against 19 crack special operations soldiers armed to the hilt with the latest weaponry.

I believe everything the White House says.

Pictures taken on the scene within an hour of the “shootout” show no indication that the anyone in the house was armed. The only “weapon” is a child’s water pistol.

Don’t click this link if you are squeamish. What sort of weaponry causes that sort of hemorrhaging?

Here one minute – gone the next. In 2008, Obama was for photo disclosure on high moral grounds – but only when the pictures made Bush look bad instead of him.

Earth to Mark – the graph below is from your organization. It shows that the ice is “getting thicker again” and has been for several years.

Arctic rent seekers experts tell us that the ice is melting “faster than predicted.” Interesting conclusion, given that US Navy PIPS2 data shows that since 2008 the area of 2.5+ metre ice has nearly doubled and now covers almost the entire Arctic Basin.

NSIDC also shows that the area of multi-year ice has substantially increased since 2008.

Contrary to the propaganda careful research published by the IPCC and the EPA, snow cover in North America has been steadily increasing over the last twenty years.

It has been the snowiest year since 1985, when CO2 was below 350 ppm. In 1985, snow was caused by cold, but modern snow is caused by heat.

You can see how dramatically snow cover has declined.
