Is It Science or Politics?

‘It’s politics not science that is driving the climate change mania: UN predictions subject of ridicule because of their stunning failure’

But David W. Titley thinks it’s about science and not politics.

“The changing climate is already serving as a catalyst for conflict”

But the trends in armed conflict have been down since the early 1990s. Why doesn’t a Rear Admiral, retired know that? Charts and Graphs -Armed Conflict Trends Uppsala University, Sweden

“I have a Ph.D in meteorology. I know how complicated the weather system is and how difficult it is to predict accurately the weather even a few days in advance.”

And yet you believe what is said about the future of the climate? Are there futurebots that we can send to the year 2100 to take videos of our fate and bring them back? No, computer models are used that can’t predict squat.

Global warming computer models confounded as Antarctic sea ice hits new record high with 2.1million square miles more than is usual for time of year

“But climate is not about predictions of a specific day’s weather months or years in the future. It’s understanding the trends: hotter or colder, wetter or drier, trends in sea level rise and in severe storms.”

The state of the art USCRN shows cooling. Why was the USCRN constructed? http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/crn/

Wetter or drier? So which is it? We get both in the same year. Are we going to bake or drown?

Severe storms? No upward trend; even the IPCC agrees. IPCC - SREX Report

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Paper finds warming causes fewer storms

Rising sea level? Satellite data shows that sea levels have not been rising faster in last 20 years

“Climate change affects military readiness, strains base resilience, creates missions in new regions of the world and increases the likelihood that our armed forces will be deployed for humanitarian missions”

The climate is always changing. When hasn’t that been the case?

And yes we should work on adaptation strategies not MITIGATION. Contrary to alarmist belief we cannot control the climate.

“Last year was the fourth warmest on record. It was the 37th year in a row that global average temperatures were above the long-term average. All of the top 10 warmest years on record have been logged since 1998.”

True but you have conveniently(for you) left out the previous 4.5billion years of the planet’s existence some of which, we are told by scientists, were warmer in pre-power plant/SUV times. Young earther are you? http://co2science.org/data/mwp/mwpp.php

David: you ought to know better. Who do you think you’re foolin’?
