If they were still respectable they would note the effect on the climate from things like land use, urban heat island effect, natural processes, and, oh yeah, the big ball of nuclear fire at the center of the solar system. But, no, they cannot even use the proper term which would be anthropogenic global warming. ‘Climate change’ replaced AGW in order to Blamestorm pretty much everything, including snow and cold weather
Climate change ‘beyond scientific dispute,’ National Academies report says
One of the United States’ most respected scientific bodies rejected claims from Trump administration officials that rising temperatures posed little danger, saying on Wednesday the scientific evidence of climate change was “beyond scientific dispute” and that impacts on the nation are worsening.
The conclusion from the the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine differs starkly from a draft report issued by the Energy Department in July, in which a panel of scientists known for their contrarian views argued that the risks of climate change have been overblown.
The nonprofit National Academies advise the government on scientific issues.
In sharp contrast to the Trump administration’s report, NASEM’s 135-page review of climate science says that our understanding of climate science has only improved since EPA in 2009 formally declared greenhouse gases a threat to human health and welfare.
That includes long-term observations that “confirm unequivocally” that human emissions are warming the planet, that climate change is already harming the health and welfare of U.S. citizens and that the severity of climate change increases “with every ton of greenhouse gases emitted.”
Reads more like blathering from a doomsday cult with skin in the game to keep the money train rolling. BTW, what about the observations that showed a warming pause for around 18 years?
“Much of the understanding of climate change that was uncertain or tentative in 2009 is now resolved and new threats have been identified,” the report concluded. “These new threats and the areas of remaining uncertainty are under intensive investigation by the scientific community. The United States faces a future in which climate-induced harm continues to worsen and today’s extremes become tomorrow’s norms.”
I have a recommendation: everyone at the National Academies should immediately give up their own use of fossil fuels and make their lives carbon neutral. No one is allowed to travel to Brazil for COP30. The Academies should forgo all use of fossil fuels, AC, heating, and more at it’s offices, ban meat. And tell everyone who believes this report to do the same.
There is little doubt that Porter is much smarter, wiser, more thoughtful, more understanding, better educated than the combined wisdom and experience of the National Academies of Science, Engieering and Medicine!! It’s been rumored that Porter was nominated but turned them down.
They haven’t even considered the Sun! Or urban heat island! Or land use! Whatabout “natural processes” like CO2 absorbing infrared radiation?!? Whatabout “The Pause”?!?
And, and… They can’t even get the name right! “They” changed it from global warming to Climate Change recently (37 years ago!!). (The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed in 1988).
Who you gonna believe? Porter or the 3000 members of the National Academies (including 300 Nobel laureates).
Congress created/established the Academies and President Lincoln signed the Act in 1863. But what President Abraham Lincoln created, Mr trump can destroy!!
The excitable Porter should relax. He’s won. Donald is shutting down all US efforts to slow global warming/climate change.
