Michael “Robust Debate” Mann: ‘Climate Change’ Is 100%+ Your Fault Or Something

When you want serious whoppers about climatic changes, go to Michael Mann, who has called for robust debate, then blocks everyone who dares ask a question and/or disagree with them, sues them, refuses to pony up actual raw data and the methods used, and refuses to engage in debate. And, thank goodness, Mann never takes fossil fueled trips and does everything possible to have a negative carbon footprint!*

On track to an ice-free Arctic

…

We are engaged, said Mann, in an “uncontrolled experiment with the one planet that we know that supports life”.

Given the “incontrovertible measurements of the dramatic and unprecedented rise in greenhouse gas concentrations, we wouldn’t be able to explain it if the earth were not warming up. And it’s warmed up thus far a little less than a degree Celsius”.

Oh, noes, you mean a Holocene warm period would get warm? How horrible!

In fact, said Mann, modelling suggests natural factors would put earth into a cooling trend. (as opposed to actual observations and data)

“It’s only when we add the human effect of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations that we can reproduce the warmth that we’ve seen,” he said.

“Climate change critics seem to come around and concede that, ‘Oh yes, maybe humans have some role.’ Well, no we don’t just have some role. Humans are actually responsible for more than 100 percent of the warming that we’ve seen. What I mean there is that natural factors were actually pushing us in the opposite direction.”

So natural variation can only occur to contradict warming dogman.

*BTW, this interview with a New Zealand news source occurred in……drum roll…..New Zealand! That’s right, he took a long fossil fueled trip to complain about Mankind causing warming.
