One in a long line of those who "aren't scientists" (according to a commenter on my blog)
demands an apology from ABC News for the hit piece it broadcast on him last week.
This person, who is categorized by the alarmists as a "climate change denier" would also be considered not as balanced scientifically as the unbiased, and completely non-partisan (of course) James Hansen from NASA. You know James Hansen...the guy who continues to complain about being "silenced by the 'administration'", all the while being featured on every network and liberal print rag from the NYT to Time magazine, ABC, CBS, NBC (amongst others). The James Hansen who's climate computer models were recently found to contain a flaw, which once corrected, changed the "hottest years on record" from the alarmists talking points; that showed 1998 as
NOT being the hottest year on record (of the last century), but it was 1936 (a time before the alarmists admit to runaway greenhouse gases causing global warming.)
Well this guy, who (is not a credible scientist, again to use my commentors words) has the following scientific credentials: S. Fred Singer, PhD (Physics, Princeton) Professor Emeritus, University of Virginia; Fellow, American Geophysical Union; Fellow, American Physical Society.
This denier and "non-scientist" is apparently in cahoots with a much grander scheme of denial. Dr. Singer posts this in response to the interview last weekend about the evidence of such a grand conspiracy:
"Clearly, he ignored my complete scientific story (NIPCC vs IPCC), the
fact that 100 climate scientists presented papers at the Heartland
Conference, and that hundreds more are now listed as climate skeptics.
[I am not even counting the nearly 20,000 scientists of various
specialties who signed the Oregon Petition.]"
Listed as climate skeptics. Why?
Because they have a view contrary to the alarmist position.
If nothing else, this clearly shows the science is not settled. It also shows that there are more,
many more, than a few 'skeptics' out there as the Goracle would have you believe. There are thousands, tens of thousands, of scientists from various fields who disagree with the apparent "consensus" of the Goracle and other agenda driven advocates.
Naturally this proves nothing to the alarmists and advocates. It is contrary to their "beliefs." Therefore it is heresy to point that their "beliefs" are wrong. They won't even acknowledge that their "beliefs"
could be wrong.
So I ask again, who is denying what exactly?
