U.S. Senate Hearing: Climate Scientist Says Warming of 'last 100 years is mostly natural’

U.S. Senate Environment & Public Works Committee ^ | July 22, 2008 | Dr. Roy Spencer

[ASA Vet]

Weather happens?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Algore wept.

[Always Right]

The denier movement seems to be growing. It must be stopped at all costs!

[Sybeck1]

You know Spencer works for Rush don’t you.../sarc...

[BOBTHENAILER]

I’m surprised that his testimony wasn’t SHOUTED DOWN by all the Rat kool-aid drinkers.

[Slapshot68]

True, Spencer doesn’t the same credentials as the music and sociology professors the UN included as “climate experts” in their panel findings but his opinion will just have to do I guess.

[Forrestfire]

What is the Tennessee equivalent to Arkancide?

[tatsinfla]

well duh! but do you really think that is going to stop all the greenies?

[Sacajaweau]

At least respected scientists are coming to the plate. Gore keeps declaring the world is flat and his theory might work if it was so. But it is not flat. It is in constant change.

Humanity is so minute within the scope of the Universe.

And if they're so worried about "Our Lives" and if life is so precious, how can people like Gore and Obama...say..."Kill The Children"....It's a good thing??

THE AUDACITY OF IT ALL!!

[Matchett-PI]

Rush just played an audio clip of one of the vapid air-heads at the hearing attempting to denigrate Spencer’s testimony on the premise that he couldn’t be credible because Rush called him “the official meterologist of the EIB network”.

Does anyone think she’d say that James Hansen’s testimony couldn’t be credible because he gives campaign contributions to DemocRATS, uses stagecraft to mislead people in his congressional testimony, and was in cohoots with Enron, et.al., to hype the anthropogenic GW hoax?

Riiiight.

The vapid airhead in question was Barbara Boxer.

[Matchett-PI]

Thanks for the name. There are so many of them in Congress, they’re impossible to keep track of.

[SF Republican]

At which point they were slapped with a contempt of Congress by the Democrats in charge and hauled off to an unknown destination for reeducation.

[ElectricStrawberry]

No no no no....Spencer works for Big Oil....so does Rush....so do I.

[BenLurkin]

No one expects the Environmental Inquisition!

[SuziQ]

I hope that the Committee realizes that, if true, these new results mean that humanity will be largely spared the negative consequences of human-induced climate change. This would be good news that should be celebrated -- not attacked and maligned. And given that virtually no research into possible natural explanations for global warming has been performed, it is time for scientific objectivity and integrity to be restored to the field of global warming research.

This scientist is suggesting that common sense rule the day. Unfortunately, he's speaking to a Senate committee chaired by Democrats who wouldn't know common sense if it walked up and slapped them in the face.

Who cares about CO2? It's good for plants. Make more CO2.

The primary evidence that CO2 and the greenhouse effect have anything to do with raising global temperature is missing entirely. It isn't there.

No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)

This is a short and easily understandable article showing the plain truth. The hinge pin that links global temperature to the greenhouse effect is missing. It is easily measurable and hundreds of probes have done so.
