Climate Scientist Faces Off With the Virulently Anti-Science House Science Committee

Appalling contempt for science
Science • Views: 57,529

At a congressional hearing on climate science Wednesday, Michael Mann lamented that he was the only witness representing the overwhelming scientific consensus that manmade global warming poses a major threat.

“We find ourselves at this hearing today, with three individuals who represent that tiny minority that reject this consensus or downplay its significance, and only one—myself—who is in the mainstream,” he said in his opening testimony.

Sitting on either side of Mann were the other three witnesses: Judith Curry, John Christy, and Roger Pielke, Jr.—scientists who have clashed with Mann in the past and are frequently sought after by Republican politicians who reject mainstream climate science. Curry recently defended EPA chief Scott Pruitt’s statement that scientists don’t know whether human activity is “a primary contributor” to global warming. Christy claims that climate models overstate the role of human activity. Pielke accepts the role greenhouse gasses play in warming but has drawn criticism for arguing that links between extreme weather and climate change have been overstated.

The whole charade reminded me of Bill Nye debating Ken Ham, a fruitless exercise. But this is a hearing at the United States House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology with much wider and devastating implications. The shamelessness of these Republican pols* in denying the science behind climate change and dooming future generations of humans to catastrophic disasters boggles the mind. Dr. Michael E. Mann (@MichaelEMann) from Penn State has to be commended for undergoing two hours of hostile questioning, sitting between the GOP’s go-to climate science deniers, and a mind-numbing denial of science from members of the top science committee in Congress.

Watch the whole horrifying hearing.

(paged 11-10-10)

This is from the The World We Live In, a coffee table size book published by Life magazine in 1955 and based on a series of science articles published in Life between 1952 and 1954:

Yet for the past century, temperatures have shown an upward trend. This has been particularly true in the last four decades (since 1915- SK), during which glaciers have been in retreat all around the world. The reasons for this gradual warming of the Earth cannot be defined with certainty. Along with water vapor and ozone, carbon dioxide helps to trap the Earth’s heat within the greenhouse of the atmosphere and prevents it from radiating away into space. In the last half century, the carbon dioxide ratio in the atmosphere has increased by 10%, a phenomenon which some attribute to expanding industry, pointing out that six billion tons of carbon dioxide pour from factory chimneys every year. (Emphasis added)

The article also speculates about other possible causes including deforestation and the disturbance of the soil. It wasn’t settled then, but it is now. This has been a serious concern of the scientific community for almost 60 years. The current consensus was not reached lightly. Calls for more research to settle the issue are simply a dishonest smokescreen put up by those who profit from the very dangerous status quo.

I am no fan of Putin and do not think him a democrat or a man of peace, but Cold War terminology is terribly misleading.

Putin is working to restore the old Russian Empire, which extended into parts of Eastern Europe but had no designs beyond that.

Remember that there are millions of ethnic Russians that were left stranded outside of Russia with the collapse of the USSR.

Once a privileged, even pampered minority, they are now often discriminated against, and, without getting too Godw(h)iny about it, are a bit like Hitler’s Sudetenland Germans

It’s important to note that the Kansas legislature, which is controlled by the GOP, has passed not only a Medicaid expansion plan (perhaps cynically knowing that Brownback would veto, and they didn’t have numbers for an override), but they also passed a repeal of his tax plan that has cratered state tax revenues, forcing massive cuts to the education and infrastructure budgets.

I think we can restate his rationale in simpler terms. “I am vetoing this expansion of ObamaCare because someone, somewhere might get something they aren’t entitled to. In order to prevent this, we are willing to sacrifice the most needy and powerless among us.”

I believe the house was 3 votes shy of a veto override when it passed. They would need to get a few more people to try to override.

They were a few votes short of a veto proof majority. I guess it depends on whether any of the legislators who voted no to cover their asses with the base are willing to make a hard vote for the good of the state. Brownback has now made it about abortion, which may make it harder for them to vote to override.

No, it doesn’t. Brownback’s administration has been such a disaster that many of the Kochbots lost their legislative seats to less radical Republicans. The Kochs still want the poors to die.

They’re both a handful of votes short of being able to do the override.

If I didn’t know better, I’d almost think it was kabuki theater to give the state GOP cover; they knew Brownback wouldn’t enact the laws, so they didn’t worry about having enough votes for the override - so they’d have cover in future elections against Kansas Democrats who’d portray them and the GOP as a bunch of craven corporatists who prioritize corporate profits and tax cuts over the people of the state.

Posted this in the last thread that came to an end and I didn’t notice as I was searching for info on what I posted. It was triggered off a comment by VB that had a tweet that stated: “Contributing Op-Ed Writer: When the President Is Ignorant of His Own Ignorance”

- - -

Speaking of ignorance, or is it just being obtuse, did anyone see or hear the exchange between the DEA head and Trump at the meeting Trump had regarding the drug problems in this country?

The DEA guy went on to a long explanation of how all the Oxycontin and Hydrocodone pain killers giving out by MDs and the drug industry got people hooked on opioids, then when people are no longer given ‘scripts they switch to the much cheaper and now prevalent heroin.

Trump then asked something like: do you see numbers that show this started to increase due to the lax border protection of the last 6 or so years (that Obama guy again!)?

He totally missed the damn point the DEA guy was trying to make. It is the prescription drugs given out like candy for so many years that caused the problem…not the damn border walls.

The freaking border wall is not going to stop heroin from getting into this country.

Maybe, just maybe if we didn’t create so many drug users “legally” we might not have the illegal problems.

And guess who made up this panel from the Trump side of the table?

reason.com - Donald Trump’s Opioid Commission Is Stacked With Prosecutors and 12-Steppers

Will any drug policy experts sit on Trump’s drug policy commission?

The Washington Post reports that President Donald Trump will announce today the creation of a federal opioid commission. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be the chair, and the rollout will feature a who’s who of federal bureaucrats, from Attorney General Jeff Sessions, to acting Drug Czar Richard Baum, to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Their real argument is that any Federal funds received by PP for STD testing, mammograms, etc. frees up funds they receive from other sources (donations/ fees for services) that can then be used for providing abortions. If they don’t get Federal funding, then that money would have to be spent on non abortion services instead. There is some technical term for this but it eludes me at this time.

I live 10 minutes from the Appalachian Trail so I hike portions of it for pleasure and often meet through hikers and share stories.

A few days ago I met a couple in their late 50s who were hiking the entire length on a flip flop (started from Harper’s Ferry) to avoid the crowds. Turns out they are both married BUT NOT TO EACH OTHER. The man is married to the sister of the person he is spending six months hiking with — his sister-in-law. Both of their spouses are not interested in hiking but SINCE THEY BOTH LOVE THEIR SPOUSES AND TRUST THEM they are in full support of them doing the adventure together.

Trust and being trustworthy. A concept I guess many Christians can’t deal with. (And I’m the guy who works at a church saying that)

Just watch.

It’s a deflection from affirmative acts taken by members of Trump’s cabal of cronies, that include lies by Flynn, Kushner, Sessions (under oath), etc., about their ties/meetings with Russians. It’s a deflection about Trump’s Russia business that remains hidden courtesy of refusing to release tax returns and other business data.

It’s a deflection by Nunes whose own actions demand recusal at a minimum, and he should more than likely be under investigation for breaking multiple federal laws, including obstruction of justice.

Rude Pundit has his usually, umm, trenchant take on that session…

Today, President Donald Trump, a man who could reasonably be called “addicted to his daughter,” had a “listening session” on drug abuse, especially the plague of opioid addiction that is ravaging the nation, hitting the working class especially hard. And while you could say, “Hey, man, give the guy a pass on this one because he’s actually talking about something that matters,” I could answer, “Hey, straw person, fuck off. That son of a bitch couldn’t give a single tweeting shit about people hooked on oxy and heroin.”

First off, Trump did what he always does. Instead of simply acknowledging the problem and that people are working on it, he turned it into the Next Thing Donald Trump Lies About Everyone Not Knowing About When It’s Really Just Him That Doesn’t Know It. Early in his remarks, he said, “This is a total epidemic, and I think it’s probably almost untalked about compared to the severity that we’re witnessing.” Then, because Trump always takes a claim and pumps it up like he’s injecting Edex right into his little dick to get it hard. “It’s really one of the biggest problems our country has, and nobody really wants to talk about it,” Trump said later, adding, “Vice President Pence mentioned this coming into the room. He said, this is a problem like nobody understands.”

Let’s put aside the fact that an HIV crisis broke out in a county in Indiana because Pence didn’t understand shit about heroin addiction when he was governor. And let’s acknowledge that there is a great deal more that needs to be done about the problem across the country. But as far as “nobody” talking about it? Motherfucker, it’s being talked about everywhere. Maine, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Alaska, fucking everywhere.

re: #25 Big Beautiful Door

Speaking of abortion, the Bevin Administration, after successfully closing one of the only two abortion clinics in Kentucky, is now trying to close the only abortion clinic in the state over a technicality. The ACLU is fighting the effort.

MS has been trying to do the same with our only clinic for years now. That case did go to court and the Clinic lawyers put up a compelling defense that, by closing the clinic, Mississippi would be unfairly shifting their constitutional burden to provide abortions to other states.

I haven’t checked on the case in awhile but I know the clinic is still open.

So it looks like the MS case was appealed to SCOTUS, who refused to hear it.

Thus the appeals court ruling will stand and the clinic will stay open for now.

Since we are drifting back to this discussion, I am for keeping the EC but I think it should represent the number of voters per state and not the number of congressional reps, and it should only kick in if no candidate wins an uncontested majority of popular votes.

That’s the ridiculous thing about all of this. People have their marriage contracts and norms they work out, that’s fine. But how is a professional woman supposed to function in her career if she’s not supposed to go anywhere alone with a man? And how is a man supposed to function if he can’t go to any lunch or dinner meetings alone with a woman?

So maybe Kansan voters will get a clue and stop voting against their own interests. I assume there will be Democratic candidates in their next state election.

The main problem with hoping Americans will vote for their own best “self interests” is that those self-interests have changed over the last few decades. Early 20th Centruy self-interest was was based on strong unions and faith in government institutions.Those notions have been under successful attack for 50 years by an Ayn Rand-tinged quasi Libertarianism and as a result the common American’s idea of “self interest” is knowing there are the 0.1% Have’s and the rest are to be grinded under the boot of Laissez-Faire Captialism.

The object now for the common man is to become one of the exploiters, and be able to exploit the other 99.9%. That is the alarming “self-interest” now of a large percentage of Americans, and the reason why wages and other standards of living are stagnant or falling.

re: #180 BlueGrl21

I am enjoying watching the Senate Intelligence Committee work together in a determined bipartisan fashion. I am also enjoying TREMENDOUSLY how Burr, Warner, McCain, Graham, and others are telling the House, “The adults are in the room now. We’ll take it from here. No, we won’t be using any of your work. Go play with Trump.”

Senate Republicans known they don’t have the luxury of going home to “safe” districts next year. They’ll have to go home to blue or purple states and answer for why they’re covering Trump’s ass when his approval ratings are sunk in the Challenger Deep.

Basically a man isn’t just supposed to be faithful, he is supposed to remove all doubt from the woman’s mind that he is being unfaithful.

It assumes women are jealous and suspicious by nature - they can’t control themselves! So the man has to be strong and remove all doubt.

I can’t vouch for Palmer Report, but he’s got an interesting take on why Nunes performed his public throat-slitting.

Five weeks ago I reported that the House Intel Committee investigation into Trump-Russia would reach a dead end after cursory hearings, but that the Senate Intel Committee investigation into Trump-Russia would be a thorough one that could take him down. Despite some crazy twists and turns along the way, that’s pretty much where we’re at now. I didn’t have a crystal ball. It was just easy to do a headcount for each commitee based on what their members were saying. But Donald Trump was too busy being distracted by a shiny object.

Over the past month cable news has chosen to hype the House investigation, presumably as part of some kind of ratings ploy, while largely pretending the far more important Senate investigation didn’t exist. This seems to have led cable news addict Trump to conclude that he had to stop the House investigation at all cost, thus why he had Devin Nunes set himself on fire.

While I like college sports, I don’t like how businessy it has become while athletes typically get screwed. But I’ll give the NCAA credit on this one:

North Carolina lawmakers voted Thursday to roll back the HB2 “bathroom bill” in a bid to end the backlash over transgender rights that has cost the state dearly in lost business projects, conventions and basketball tournaments.

The compromise plan, announced Wednesday night by the state’s Democratic governor and leaders of the Republican-controlled legislature, was worked out under mounting pressure from the NCAA, which threatened to take away more sporting events.

I despise nearly everything about Republicans, but my most absolute contempt is reserved for their anti-science views.

For dealing with questions within its domain, science has worked so much better than its competition of dogma and superstition that there is simply no contest. You use the methods of science to deal with scientific questions, or you are an idiot. Pick one.
