Reilly makes a good point. If you read Bill Clinton's autobiography, one of the major sticking points in the Israel/Palestinian negotitations was over a specific freshwater source...of course the nightly news never seemed to mention this.

Aral sea drying up too. Difference between late 80s and late 00s is stunning.

Chief, look at all of those academic credentials Pielke has. Sure signs of an elitist...

No, not saying that at all. Just trying to sort if there is any systematic way you decide which elitist to believe, that's all. Don't know why you bother with all the charts and graphs. The blustering-common man approach is more genuine and way less work.

Well, it was pronounced Dead about 4,000 years ago.

That's a long slow death if it's still dying.

I see Ed. The climate scammers failed at Global Warming, they failed at increased frequencies and intensities of storms, now they attack our fresh water supply fears. Like a many headed hydra, you cut off some heads and there is always another. These guys will never give up till they have all the taxation societies can bear, and then some.

Wasnt lying about anyone here: you or the Pielkes. Again, why do you persist with the crap science stamp collecting? Just stay with the we're all gonna die anyway line - more apocalyptical and all.

That's the most delicious irony of all.

And who has no sense of it?

Professors dont take orders, Chief. And when they submit research for publication , the work is judged on its merits, regardless of their institutional affiliation. The 'crap' part is determined during the judging process...

The GA Inst of Tech

My alma mater, btw, and consistently ranked in the top 5 engineering depts in the country (my major was ranked between #2 and #5 the years I was student). And I did take some course in the School of EAS en route to a dual Civil/Environmental Eng.

This was well prior to Curry's arrival. Definitely one of the cooler undergrad classes I had, EAS 2-something or other, "Physics of the Weather". Prof was an ex-rocket scientist, originally from South Africa.


Anyway...Curry is pretty much a joke among our alum. Why? Because she has flopped and floundered all over the place. She is inconistent at best. It's especially amusing to see ignorant clowns like the Chef try to hold her up as helping his cause. You might look a little closer at your hero there Chuff:

"Gore's statement in the movie is that we can expect more storms like Katrina in a greenhouse-warmed world. I would agree with this" - Judith Curry, 2006

And I've always loved this one from her piece in the WaPo
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/10/AR2007101002157.html :

Bjorn Lomborg rightly notes that skepticism about climate change is no longer focused on whether it the earth is getting warmer (it is) or whether humans are contributing to it (we are).

In this debate, Lomborg has positioned himself squarely in the skeptics' camp. But he has some of his facts wrong -- and he fails to appreciate the risks that global warming bring to us all.

On the facts, Lomborg writes that the Kangerlussuaq glacier in Greenland is "inconveniently growing," somehow undercutting the argument that the world is getting warmer. But NASA research shows that Greenland's Kangerlussuaq glacier is not growing; it is simply spilling into the sea.

Lomborg also misrepresents some conclusions of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He is skeptical about the claim that polar bears "will be decimated by global warming as their icy habitat melts." But the report shows that, even under the best-case scenario, about two-thirds of the current polar bear population will be lost by 2050.

Lomborg seems to have missed it, but a sensible debate has begun on how to best respond to global warming -- in national and local governments, universities and the private sector -- in the U.S. and around the world. There is no easy solution to this problem; the challenge is how best to develop options that are feasible, efficient, viable and scalable. Lomborg is correct to be concerned about the possibility of bad policy choices. But I have yet to see any option that is worse than ignoring the risk of global warming and doing nothing.

Bruce, perhaps you should hit the comedy club circuit. Anyone, other than a brain dead zombie, can see through the ever mutating climate change scam. Big businees, big government, careers for idiots. Perhaps there should have been more abortions.

Svensmark has a new paper out in Physics Letters A with purported proofs of his cosmic ray theory, Trenberth is calling for a new direction for the IPCC, region after region's little ice age and medieval warm period has been reconstructed while deconstructing the revisionists, IPCC scientists are calling for a rewrite of AR5 as well as many governments. Can the end be near? Don't count on it, the shetheads never give up, just mutate.

gawd what BULLSHEET malemute^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Has NOTHING to do with GW ,, nadda zippo and zilch. Ask ANY fore EXPERT.


Actually Ron, I have spoken to a few experts. Perhaps you should try it yourself. But, don't just ask, listen to their responses, you actually might learn something.

The little three have more resources than ,well, NASA.

US scientists,just not to be trusted ,that is ,unless they align with their ideology.

The little three contend that there will be economic disaster if any solutions to CC are implemented by our government.

So tell me ,will it be as immediate as what their buddies did to the economy 6 years ago.Will it look like a financial crisis?

Spray hysteria,misinform.

I seriously DO NOT believe

Do you have a point? You DO NOT believe many things, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Your analytical thinking skills went missing...well actually never arrived in the first place...maybe you forgot them in the 9th grade classroom when you dropped out?

So I think I will trust my first hand knowledge of how my hundreds of friends who are fellow alums view Judy, rather than what you "do not believe".

The acting-out little man syndrome is growing a little thin, Queef. Maybe invest some of that sweet, sweet teat suckle into some platform shoes.
