[[Climate variability and change is a lot more complex than CO2 as control knob, Curry said]]
Hey curry- appreciate you taking a stand, but CO2 is not a ‘control knob’ at all- there isn’t nearly enough of it to be one- the atmosphere has only 0.00136% CO2 in it- that;s it- that small amount aint controlling nuthin!
Also- ice core samples prove that temperatures always rise first- hundreds of years BEFORE CO2 rises- so how in the heck is CO2 a ‘control knob’ again?
No one wants to hear this, or actually spend time understanding things ... or anything else which require more than 30 seconds to understand - hence sound bites teach all anyone needs to know abut anything.
And so America declined into a vacuous vacuum headed mindless morass of unthinking porno watching gamers seeking ever more free stuff at some one else’s expense.
btt
Bump!
Not when there's grant money at stake. She is correct that nobody should base political policy on bad science but it turns out that the scientists who are complicit are the ones who get the cash.
The Greenland Ice sheet (the part on land, not sea ice) is growing not melting. If that continues and spreads to other ice sheets the oceans will retreat not rise.
Yep, either the thugs with the bullhorn show up at her home or someone throws 200M at her under the table
>>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.<<
That is because they are not predictions. They are guesses.

My Possum Holler Tennessee Seaport is worthless?
I saw it happen in a movie!
Hasn’t sea rise been occurring for millennia, even without SUV’s.
Levin had a great guy on a couple weeks back (TV Show) addressing the climate insanity.
Call Leonardo DiCaprio! He can help from his private jets, yachts and mansions!
I don’t think Dr. Curry will be attending many Christmas cheer parties with her academic colleagues. Just a hunch...
There is a lot more going on here than just Curry's reasonable rejection of sea rise levels.
Global swarmists know if they get their hands around insurance companies -- Obamacare writ large -- that they can either (a) force penurious penalties on Heartlanders who spend their golden years as snowbirds and/or (b) strangle the profit out of the insurance companies with penurious regulation and taxation.
Bookmarked.
The sea has been rising 2-3 mm/yr since the end of the last ice age. So what.
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.
