‘Borderline Impossible’: Noted Scientist Tackles Sea Level Rise Alarmism
dailycaller.com ^ | 12/10/2018 | Michael Bastasch

When it comes to alarming projections of global warming-induced sea level rise, veteran climate scientist Judith Curry says people need to cool it.

“Projections of extreme, alarming impacts are very weakly justified to borderline impossible,” Curry told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Curry’s latest research, put together for clients of her consulting company near the end of November, looks in detail at projections of sea level rise. Curry’s ultimate conclusion: “Some of the worst-case scenarios strain credulity.”

“With regards to 21st century climate projections, we are dealing with deep uncertainty, and we should not be basing our policies based on the assumption that the climate will actually evolve as per predicted,” Curry told TheDCNF.

“Climate variability and change is a lot more complex than ‘CO2 as control knob’,” Curry said. “No one wants to hear this, or actually spend time understanding things,” Curry said.

Let’s see: 1896-— 1+8=9+9=18-6=12. Are you sure you didn’t get just 12 inches of AGW? ;-)

Easy for you to say. If you lived next to the ever increasing ocean level you might care more. LOL! Yup. Slightly more measureable than the actual ‘see uh oh 2’ levels as a whole part of the atmosphere.

When can we expect the “studies” showing that “Aryans” are superior to Jews and Slavs? Surely the Goebbelsmedia won’t let us down.

This ‘denier’ is actually a believer in (minor/moderate) AGW, but recognizes the uncertainties. She was an author of the famous hurricane study after Katrina which purported to show that hurricane strength/energy has been increasing. During Climategate she was appalled at the chicanery in general, and the gross mis-statement of probabilities in particular.

That’s an odd way to describe it. Grossly misleading, even if literally correct, since the vast majority of the warming is after the start of the curve.

The sequence distinct initial increases of each are what the other poster stated.

I always see oldeconomybuyer’s posts on these issues with the picture of Goebbels on it, and I find it somehow comforting that I am not the only one that views the media and the Left in this light!

It is the major prop for the soft fascism that Trump is fighting.

When a political party has control of the government and uses it for political advantage that is fascism exactly like that the Nazis used.

That is much how I see it.

About 715 million years ago, something, possibly due to rapid silicate weathering on the continents...

“If anything, what we should concentrate on is creating the most wealthy, powerful society possible, to best deal with whatever Mo’ Nature throws at us...”

I agree with you. Regardless if one thinks climate change is a hoax or believes it’s real, a person, doesn’t have to be wealthy, ought to take steps to prepare for whatever may be thrown at him or her. And I think it’s going to have to be individuals as there is no political will at the national level to do so. As a nation, we are a people who don’t do shit until the shit gets real and cannot be ignored.

I’m sure that’s just one of many ‘etc., etc.’ factors that need to be included - point being that it’s incredibly complex, thus the limitations of any type of modeling.
