Stopped reading right there. Utter commie BS.
The question involves bigger factors than what science as we know it can possibly scrutinize. We do have excellent reason to believe that other factors can greatly drown out anthropogenic factors.
Its when there is a blind trust in the "scientific community" that things go south. A few hours with the available non-processed and non-"normalized" datasets is all that is needed to determine there is insufficient data to support the hypothesis that humans are affecting a change in mean global temps.
The author is a lying sack o' dogturds.
She should have broke into song:
I believe that for every drop of rain that falls..
A flower grows.
“I think it’s possible that humans have some type of impact on climate change,” she said. “I just don’t know the extent of that.”
Sounds reasonable to me.
Why is Trump hiring a George P. Bush “Republican”?
Minimally if at all and locally, not worldwide. Example: LA smog is not found in NYC, Brussels or Brisbane. Beijing pollution is not found in Dusseldorf, Greensboro or Murmansk.
I forget: are eggs good for me this week, or bad?
Physicist Howard Hayden's one-letter disproof of global warming claims [pre-Climategate]Dear Administrator Jackson:
I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called "Endangerment Finding."
It has been often said that the "science is settled" on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false.
The letter is s, the one that changes model into models. If the science were settled, there would be precisely one model, and it would be in agreement with measurements.
Alternatively, one may ask which one of the twenty-some models settled the science so that all the rest could be discarded along with the research funds that have kept those models alive.
We can take this further. Not a single climate model predicted the current cooling phase. If the science were settled, the model (singular) would have predicted it.
