IPCC lays another egg.

RE: Latest IPCC Report forecasts doom – for real this time!

No doubt the climate crazies are at the next level of apoplexy over the latest IPCC report forecasting the usual doom.  Those of us who have followed this travesty (and others like the Climategate emails) for decades are much less impressed.  In the first place, those who authored the report have flagrant conflicts of interest since they get their research funding from bureaucrats and politicians who want to hear more about the evils of western civilization.  In the second, the report is still talking about the same numbers, 1.5 to 2℃, and the year 2100.

All the fretting over 2030 proves to be nothing but illiterate alarmism from overaged adolescents.

The report maintains that droughts and floods and heat waves and extreme cold will all caused by higher CO2 levels.  All previous extremes of weather, floods, droughts, heat and cold were natural, but all the future ones will be due to man.  The report seems to admit the possibility that extremes may be due to a blend of natural variation and the activities of man.

What is the proportion of natural variation to the activities of man?  Oh, that question can’t be asked because it might throw doubt on the alarmism.  The one credible scientist who wanted to find out, Dr. Judith Curry, was hounded out of the discipline by sexism so vile it was only tolerated because the Good Cause required it.
