As our American friends put it, she must be as dumb as a box of hammers when it comes to verbal communications, and this was part of her prepared evidence to the recent ‘discussion’ in which the eminent Dr Lindzen was the token (and frequently patronised) sceptical scientist. I note, too that Dr Mann was one of her Phd supervisors.

Richard C – very funny!

However, I think this is really making a mountain out of a molehill. She is simply trying to paint a simple picture of “if we do nothing, the rot will slowly set in, and once the rot has set in, it’s there for ever”.

I think the salient point of her quoted statement is the word “urgency”. The alarmists want urgent action to avoid the slippery slope to hellfire. The idea that we should wait and see for a couple more decades is abhorrent to them. The idea that we should gather some reliable data first does not even occur to them. The science is in, apparently. What are you lemmings waiting for? Jump!

The last bastion of climate science deniers – the pipeline.

They deny the reality of the missing AGW hot-spot signature.

They deny the reality of the latest ocean cooling trend

They deny climate science.

They deny reality.

The catastrophic global warming they so desperately cling to exists only in the pipeline of a parallel universe they create to avoid facing reality.

They’ve plunged down the pipeline of a climatic Stargate SG-1. Notably the TV series expands upon many Ancient Earth mythologies such as Egyptian mythology, Norse mythology, and Arthurian legend.

And now another legend, this time Modern Earth mythology.

The climate pipeline Earthgate EG-1.
