  1. From the article: “In any case, overstating the severity of some consequences (i.e. linking the 2010-2011 tornado outbreak to climate change) only emboldens willful skeptics who would hold the very real uncertainty of some aspects of climate change science as a quarterstaff upon the credibility of its general conclusions.”
    Climate science is in its infancy and is rife with uncertainty; therein lies the problem with AGW theory. The junk scientists took over the climate change debate years ago and aren’t about to let go of their money tree anytime soon.
    The gig is up and always was the minute the watermelons tried carbon taxes. They did plenty of damage though with spending on useless energy technology ($90 billion in the last Obama administration, they chortled themselves).
    There’s no economic boom out there to sustain their tilting at windmills. Economic contraction (at least of growth) is the future order of march so guilt taxes that further improverish the poorest in our society while ludicrously claiming the polluter must pay (look the the mirror IOW) have no political shelf life.
    I suspect the NDP in BC are about to find that out and it seems they are prepared to die on that sword with opposition to pipelines, inner passages or anything else apparently that doesn’t “combat” climate change. Oh, and more carbon taxes too.
    If they win on that agenda then I’m wrong and we’re screwed. I might have to plug my nose and vote Liberal.

  2. Berger (the author of that article) is still ‘under the inluence’:
    “…Is the world warming? Yes. Is the warming largely due to human activity? Most likely, most scientists say. Will this warming have consequences for the planet and its residents? Without question. But we still have much work to do to fully understand those consequences…”
    Guess his ‘world’ does not include Europe, and areas that experienced unusual/extreme cold this past winter.
    But good for him to point out the tornado stats.

  3. All Praise Gaia, pay your carbon sin taxes and obey you green masters.
    Or else the polar bears get it.

  4. LOL!   I just signed on to cut & paste the _same_ quote.
    Even though evidence mounts to the contrary regarding whether or not man is to blame for ‘climate change’ or whether in fact that warming trend would be a bad thing, I still am constantly seeing the same ‘Is the world warming. Yes…‘ drivel as if the subject is ‘settled’, everywhere, from gov officials to the MSM to the man on the street.
    Unfortunately the warmist propagandists are still winning on the PR front with this issue.
    .

  5. Appears Big Al is a few blows short of a successful season to buck up his phony global warming scam.

  6. I am shocked – SHOCKED – by the weather in St. John’s today. It is sunny, with not much wind, and a pleasant 15 deg C. The snow is gone from the White Hills Well!! This is so abnormal that clearly a major “spike” in global warming is occurring. Carbon credits must be paid, immediately! Oh yes, and send your sinful carbon credits to ME! Keep St. John’s safe for polar bears!

  7. Carbon credits is the 21st centuries version of self flagellation, only its now forced on the populace for the Elite.
    The phoney theories of these “end of the World” nuts dies the day of the data dump.
    In fifty years this will be a laughable account of how gullible people are.

  8. “In fifty years this will be a laughable account of how gullible people are.”
    Maybe not,RD. Remember,in fifty years they will probably be on their third scam,and the cAGW scam will have been purged from history books.

  9. Poor Al Gorbal.
    He usually has nothing to say but now he REALLY has nothing to say.

  10. “As informed citizens, we need to be careful about conflating weather, climate change and natural disasters”, but “…Is the world warming? Yes.”
    The boss lady’s remark below the headline adroitly summarizes the subtle mendacity and duplicity of the blog post in question. The author is engaged in a deliberate process of obscuring the true meaning of his admonition: he cautions against the conflation of anomolistic events and climate change, so that he can protect, through camouflage and misdirection, his own conflation of climate change and global warming.
    In other words, “Listen up, you idiots, climate change is about global warming, not a bunch of other junk! Get it?”

  11. Excellent observation Kate. The pathetic fools who are paid mega $$ by taxpayers to ‘produce the science of Climate change’ in order to justify the billions of $$ (direct and indirect) funneled to the elitists for their U-en Ahgendah 21 plan. I thank the Good Lord for sites like SDA, for real scientists like Tim Ball, for honest politicians like Lord Moncton and PMSH (who called the Glowbull warm up thing a hoax, a socialist (Marxist) plan to bankrupt the citizens of non communist/tyrannical nations) and for the perseverance of SDAers and other informed citizens to never allow the hot air blowhards to have an inch of wiggle room enabling the latter to ram through the first major step to bankrupt all of us – the warm air or carbon tax.

  12. Would you people stop posting this stuff? How am I supposed to get a gig going to the best climate conferences at the best hotels in the best resorts if this continues?

  13. I *really* hate to say this, but it seems as though a lot of the tornado activity last year just moved North. (As one would expect if a general warming trend were to blame.) That doesn’t excuse them for blaming every non-trend on global warming, but I hate the idea of using something where warming is a more logical cause than 90% of the “evidence” presented as proof of the opposite.

  14. “In fifty years this will be a laughable account of how gullible people are.”
    I really, really, really wish that were true.
    Unfortunately… have you ever gone through old newspaper headlines? Like, dating back to the 1850’s and beyond? They’ve been going back and forth between “GLOBAL WARMING! AAAHH” and “GLOBAL COOLING! DOOOOOM” since – at the VERY LEAST – before the Civil War.
    Sadly, most of the world’s populace lacks the proper education to realize this. The cycle will continue until education improves, and education isn’t likely to improve until the government gets the (censored) out of it.
