What do you get when a government funded scientist completes a “Climate Change Study” and concludes that there have been no increase in hurricanes, Nor’easters, tornadoes or thunderstorms, and no long-term trends in either heat waves or cold spells or increases in rain fall or drought?
Why, you get the Obama Administration saying that the world is going to end because of Global Warming.
The new federal report on climate change gets a withering critique from Roger Pielke Jr., who says that it misrepresents his own research and that it wrongly concludes that climate change is already responsible for an increase in damages from natural disasters.

You can check out Dr. Pielke’s blog for a detailed rebuttal of how the report presents science in his area of expertise, the study of trends in natural disasters and their relation to climate change. While the new federal report (prepared by 13 agencies and the White House) paints a dire picture of climate change’s impacts, Dr. Pielke says that the authors of this new report, like those of previous reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Stern Review, cherrypick weak evidence that fits their own policy preferences. He faults all these reports for all relying on “non-peer reviewed, unsupportable studies rather than the relevant peer-reviewed literature†and for “featuring non-peer-reviewed work conducted by the authors.â€
Dr. Pielke contrasts these reports’ conclusions about trends in natural disasters with the some quite different findings last year by the federal Climate Change Science Program.
I’m waiting for the sooper sekrit conspiracy theory from the eco-socialists on this one. Who got to him and what did they pay him off with.
Remember kiddies, when you tell the truth about the Glowball Warmening myth, you make AlGore cry.
