Al Gore: Donald Trump's position on climate change 'should concern everyone'
NBC News ^ | May 23, 2016 | Scott Stump

Posted on 05/23/2016 6:52:40 PM PDT by Innovative

In "An Inconvenient Truth,'' Gore used charts and graphs to make the connection between increasing carbon emissions and the changing climate.

Trump has called climate change a hoax created by China.

"President [Jimmy] Carter said that he hopes [Trump] will be malleable, so I don't know,'' Gore said before laughing.

Perhaps algore can produce one or two pieces of evidence.

Meditating on his screaming while he's fought over by blood spattered polar bears releases so much negative energy from my second chakra. 😑

Re Al Gore’s position on Climate Change. It is simply bend over, say thank you frauds, and take their money.

By the way, Al Gore has concerned me since the 1970’s. He’s one weird, crooked dude.

Some notes for Mister Trump. (Please feel free to use.)

1. Science is not built on alleged consensus; furthermore, scientific observations on climate should involve real scientists not those with political science or engineering or other unrelated degrees.

2. Global warming does not even qualify to be an hypothesis (modeling is not an observation, and real world observations differ from modeling predictions).

3. Real scientists invite questions and are happy to produce data and all methods, algorithms, and notes.

4. Real scientists would insist on scientific symposia, inviting proponents on both sides to present and defend thoroughly a proposed hypothesis. Furthermore, proposed hypotheses must be rigorously TESTED, and if scientific approaches were legitimate, all should be invited to test thoroughly.

5. It follows that opposing opinion should be invited and considered in a collegial fashion. This is real science.

6. Real science publications should invite, encourage, and publish papers from divergent viewpoints. Not doing so is the very reciprocal of science.

Thanks for posting these points.

As I scanned Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth book at the library, I was appalled that here was a non-scientist proclaiming scientific "fact" without a single bibliographic reference in the entire book!

I have a point about your Point 2. You said, "global warming does not even qualify to be a hypothesis". Why do you say that? Can't we hypothesize anything? And are you saying that modeling is not allowed?

Thanks.

The fact that there is a sex-crazed poodle, without a leash, out in public, making rabid sounds, should concern everyone.

The scientific method generally begins with a question about a problem or an observation of an unexplained phenomenon.

In the case of global warming, there is no observation, short of a computer model output (and there are so many variables in climate models, that we would suggest that the results are highly uncertain.)

Lacking a problem statement (to a rational degree of certainty), an hypothesis does not yet exist.

If oceans were really rising, or temps were climbing (outside of normal variation) anywhere near projections, well, then, maybe. But they are not, so it's not an hypothesis.

And, if there were such observations, then the problem would be more like "what is responsible for the temp increase?", as there might be more than one plausible explanation.

I see: no actual observations, but only forecast computer models.

Science seems to be treated so carelessly in our society that the public has no appreciation for the degree of accuracy.

A few months back on FR I highlighted a year of horrendous predictions for the North American hurricane season.

If the models of these "scientists" cannot reliably predict the number of hurricanes or major hurricanes only a few months out, how can they begin to tell us what average temperatures will be 70 years down the road?
