Scientists Fear Trump Will Dismiss Blunt Climate Report
NY Times ^ | Aug. 7, 2017 | LISA FRIEDMAN

The average temperature in the United States has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980, and recent decades have been the warmest of the past 1,500 years, according to a sweeping federal climate change report awaiting approval by the Trump administration.

The draft report by scientists from 13 federal agencies, which has not yet been made public, concludes that Americans are feeling the effects of climate change right now. It directly contradicts claims by President Trump and members of his cabinet who say that the human contribution to climate change is uncertain, and that the ability to predict the effects is limited.

“Evidence for a changing climate abounds, from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the oceans,” a draft of the report states. A copy of it was obtained by The New York Times.

Rush said today that this story is the epitome of fake news since the report has been online for months. Trump didn’t try to spike anything.

Also note, from the article posted in post 3 above:

“One government scientist who worked on the report, Katharine Hayhoe, a professor of political science at Texas Tech University, called the conclusions among “the most comprehensive climate science reports” to be published. Another scientist involved in the process, who spoke to The New York Times on the condition of anonymity, said he and others were concerned that it would be suppressed.”

Clearly a political science “scientist” would be an expert on the weather... (/sarc)

Another “Climate report” saying basically the same things as all the others no doubt.

Purely a political document aimed at Trump constant rule by the supposed 17 intelligence agencies or 13 scientists or seven dwarfs. They can all go to hell.

Didn’t a bunch of scientists in Australia just come clean on falsifying temperature readings just this week?

I don’t trust any of the global warming hoaxers.

And we know this because MWB kept such meticulous records.

That's the thing with science, you can always bring good data to the table and make your case, but if you use bad data you will eventually be found out.
If there really is a climate crisis, then show it convincingly.
If there is anything that can, or should, be done about it, then show it with numbers. Including cost and effectiveness.
But letting the solution dictate the problem is not science.

Of course they fear Trump will dismiss their BS. Selling french fries adds to global warming and they don’t want to go there.

This entire story is a HOAX. I think someone in the White House planted this story to find the leakers.

This report was ALREADY RELEASED, on the web, THREE WEEKS AGO.

Title should read, “Not-Fake Scientists Greatly Heartened by Trump’s Refusal to Go Along with Climate Hoax”
