"The
evidence (for anthropogenic global warming) is overwhelming and the science
is clear," Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz told a House Energy and Commerce
subcommittee on Wednesday. [FoxNews, 19SEP13]
What
evidence? What science? We (real geoscientists)
have not seen any evidence… especially any unadulterated data. When will
scientists be able to hear the presentation of this theory and see data and
experiments in an open scientific forum? (Please Google “the scientific method.”)
"The
threat from climate change is real and urgent. The basic science behind climate
change is simple. Carbon dioxide makes the Earth warmer, and we are admitting
more and more of it into the atmosphere." [ibid]
Carbon
dioxide makes the Earth warmer? Uh… how does that happen? Show historical proof
of that. Please explain the relationship
of CO2 to the Younger Dryas and the Medieval Warming Period. When was the highest ever CO2 concentration?
“Moniz
added that any stabilization of surface temperatures in recent years was an
indication of a ‘hiatus’ of global warming, not an end to global warming.”
[ibid]
None of the
AGW models predicted anything but a steady increase in global temperatures.* The models were inconsistent with one another
and have never been presented in a scientific forum for independent
verification. Please present this new “hiatus” concept and the data and proof
(right now the UN’s IPCC is struggling to reconcile this “pause”).
* “That
report (journal Nature Climate Change) compared 117 climate
predictions made in the 1990's to the actual amount of warming. Out of 117
predictions, the study’s author told FoxNews.com, 3 were roughly accurate and
114 overestimated the amount of warming. On average, the predictions forecasted
two times more global warming than actually occurred.”
