"Screw the Grandkids, I'm cold now" -Drew Carey

I live in a valley (~ at sea level) that was created by glaciers.

It happened before.. it will happen again..



Nothing you can do to stop it (nor should you), so just enjoy the ride...

I've met Dr. Curry; I will not claim to know her in any personal sense. It was a short meeting after a rather involved and very convincing presentation. To sum up her position ...

1. The climate is changing.

2. We don't exactly know how much the climate is changing, all the details of why the climate is changing, and the scope of human involvement in the fact that climate is changing.

3. The climate is an inordinately complex system affected by numerous factors that we have yet to determine, so all the woe is me, the sky is falling nonsense should probably be ignored, because it's crushing climate science credibility.

I suggest you read some of her papers and commentary. If you want to be informed, that's exactly what anyone needs to do.

I am fine with revealing the anti science wingnuts. They're the same poons that get their panties in a twist about agricultural engineering. They're fine. Ideally we'd let them starve but one step at a time.

From the small amount I've read, yes. At first glance, it appears she's a denier supporter who is loose with her words.

You two are appalling human beings. Rationalwiki is a partisan schlock site with easily discreditable sources, glaring falsifications, and other problems, Sam.

RangerDave, calling her a flat-earth, creationist is beneath you. Perhaps you should actually read what she has to say, otherwise you two just do more damage to your cause and remind us all that liberals can't actually argue facts.

The HIGX movement is the liberal version of fundamentalist Christianity. The core argument is the same: the world is ending, so you must do what we say, and don't think about it. It is political in nature, and not scientific. The goal is to control policy decisions, and thereby control businesses.

The first claim is that the climate is changing. This is not a very bold claim, and it's a fairly mundane statement. The climate of Earth is always changing. The second claim is that humans cause it. The third claim is that we know how humans are causing said change. If we know that much about global climate, we should be able to demonstrate the ability to alter a local climate.

Sahara Desert. Get cracking, liberals.
