Of course the climate changes. What politicians want you to believe is that they can control it with your tax dollars and massive regulation.

Me too.
Even IF, climate change were occurring, man made or not,
THERE IS NOTHING WE COULD DO ABOUT IT ANYWAY!
“We’re such a miniscule part of the universe. We’re so vain.”
EXACTLY! We are irrelevant on this planet. The planet is YUGE we are tiny. We can only disrupt our own backyards. The rest of the planet goes on.... ignoring us.

Data free science!
No longer bound by the need for verification, repeatability, peer review, or reality!
Gotta love it.

Michael Mann, scientist: Data 'increasingly unnecessary' because 'we can see climate change'...translation - our data isn't fitting our preconceptions so we're going to wing our arguments as we find confirming evidence around us - works neat the other way too - we were supposed to have rain here all day - the sun is shining right now - weather experts can't predict the climate one day in advance - I'm not going to pay any attention to what they say is coming fifty years from now.....

FWIW, “data” in American usage is generally a collective noun and treated as a singular not a plural. In British usage, they tend to treat the word data as a plural.
Micheal Mann treats data the way a frat boy treats a drunk date.
In Latin, one has do, dare, dedi, datus : I give, to give, I gave, given (masc. singular). Neuter plural is data, singular datum.

"Fundamentally, I'm a climate scientist and have spent much of my career with my head buried in climate-model output and observational climate data trying to tease out the signal of human-caused climate change," Mr. Mann told the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee at a hearing.This guy would have flunked experimental chemistry in my junior high. Data has to be gathered to support or refute a well-formulated hypothesis. This guy seems to be trying to PROVE his thesis only.

I can’t wait until Mark Steyn buries this A-hole.

I think he got hit in the head too many times with a hockey puck.
Singing “He can’t see clearly now”.
So much for scientific inquiry.
Hello “scientific Fascism”.

Fixed it.

So we can now stop funding all the climate scientists and their research...

Proof positive that they never were doing science in the first place. Without data, you have no science. Without fraud, you have no climate change.

He was misquoted, actual quote below:
“I’m a climate scientist and have spent much of my career with my head buried in ass.”
