Michael Mann, scientist: Data ‘increasingly unnecessary’ because ‘we can see climate change’
The Washington Times ^ | Monday, June 27, 2016 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 06/29/2016 6:58:36 AM PDT by GT Vander

Leading climate doomsayer Michael Mann recently downplayed the importance of climate change science, telling Democrats that data and models “increasingly are unnecessary” because the impact is obvious.

“Fundamentally, I’m a climate scientist and have spent much of my career with my head buried in climate-model output and observational climate data trying to tease out the signal of human-caused climate change,” Mr. Mann told the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee at a hearing.

No, you’ve spent most of your carreer manufacturing a preferred outcome by manipulating data and deleting anything that didn’t fit your desired outcome.

You are a poor scientist.

Michael Mann, of the ‘Hockey Stick’ proclamation? Wasn't Mark Steyn taken to court in Canada because Steyn refuted the Hockey Stick claim? This guy is waaaaay out there. Of course, we don't need statistics! He is clairvoyant and can predict the Climate without ANY scientific info! /s (and we must be careful while speaking out against political correctness in Canada....they don't have a Bill of Rights that protects freedom of speech)

Man made global warming is a theory that can be proven true by observation alone. (Can you see the travesty in that statement?Answer below)
I will prove it.. Notice how much warmer it is during the day when people are out and about and how much cooler it is at night when people are asleep!
In answer to the question above, it is said that a good theory is one that can be proven false by observation alone.

Michael Mann’s student, writing in his little blue book on the final exam . . .

“No need to complete the final, I’m obviously an ‘A’ student . . . please grade accordingly . . . or I’ll screw up your MyProfessor.Com rating”

What it means is a foregone conclusion, and he’s trying to find and elevate even one piece of evidence or twist something to mean something it does not.

Data is trumped by feelings. The world feels like it is getting warming - the feelings are settled.

Let’s just send him a ‘Weather Predicting Rock’. You know, one of those special rocks for sale in the tourist traps that say ‘if it’s wet, it’s raining...if it’s hot, the temperature is higher’ etc.......

Well, I think he has a point. I live in the Mid-Atlantic region. The average daytime temperature around here the last few weeks has been about 80 degrees. Just six months ago, the average daily temperature was 30 degrees. Also, the sun now sets a few hours later than it did just six months ago. We’re all doomed.

If Islam is a true religion that everyone should adopt, one would think that those who would raise their voices of objections the most vociferously to what the ‘extremists’ do would be the imams and those who are the ‘true believers’. Similarly, one would think that the loudest voices in objection to what Mann says and does should be other scientists…. If they don’t, one would think that their biggest fear should be that the credibility of their profession will be dragged down to the same level of mud where Mann’s is. This leads to many conclusions and questions….. they all agree with Mann’s position (we know this isn’t the case)? They are too concerned about the consequences? Virtually all scientists are on some sort of guvmint research grant and if they don’t tow the party line they have no funding? Sorry to say…. but if a ‘scientist’ says something today, it almost always can’t be believed because the issue of ‘agendas’ outflanks truth at seemingly every step of the way.

Isn’t this the same fool who sued Mark Steyn for defamation?

I understand why you’re calling Michael Mann’s pseudo-science a “religion,” but this is unfair. Religion is not pseudo-science, and encouraging society to lazily equate intelligent religious commitment with the irrational, serves neither truth nor science.

Translation:

Quick! Throw out all math and science as it does not work the narrative. Just go with the emotion.
