‘Embarrassing’: Climate Expert Trashes White House Climate Report

protest baked alaska anwrA climate change report published Friday contains cherry-picked data that appear designed to warn of the consequences if steps are not taken to mitigate global warming, according to one climate expert.

The scientists who wrote the National Climate Assessment (NCA) used unreliable information that exaggerates the risks global warming poses, University of Colorado Prof. Roger Pielke Jr. noted in a series of tweets.

He fears the report will make it easier for critics to dismiss future climate studies.

“By presenting cherrypicked science, at odds w/ NCA Vol,1 & IPCC AR5, the authors of NCA Vol.2 have given a big fat gift to anyone who wants to dismiss climate science and policy,” Pielke Jr. wrote in a tweet Friday shortly after the White House released the report. “Embarrassing.”

https://twitter.com/RogerPielkeJr/status/1066048092485574656

“People are not dumb. Clim chg is real & deserves policy response, but not like this,” he said, referring to volume two of the NCA, a federal report the administration is required by law to submit.

Volume one was published in 2017 and “played things straight on the science of extremes,” added Pielke Jr., who has criticized media’ reporting on similar reports in the past.

Continued use of coal and other fossil fuels will eliminate 10 percent of the GDP by the end of the century, according to the report.

The country will also be 3 to 12 degrees hotter depending on the level of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, the report warns. Wildfires and hurricanes will increase as a result if the risk is left unchecked, the report notes.

The report came from a team of 13 federal agencies and was cobbled together with the help of 1,000 people, including 300 scientists.

They used a Representative Concentration Pathway adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) to make their conclusions.

The so-called RCP creates a trajectory for future damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

A White House statement Friday said the report was “largely based on the most extreme scenario” of global warming and that the next assessment would likely be more balanced. Pielke agrees.

He says the NCA’s second volume relies on the RCP8.5, one of the four possible pathways in the trajectory.

This particular pathway is slowly being phased out of the IPCC’s modeling because scientists believe the model likely overestimates future supply of fossil fuels.

Researchers used the most extreme example possible to sell the narrative that wildfires will get worse, he noted.

Results from the first NCA report in 2014 helped the Obama administration decide on a set of regulations that conservatives claimed were too unfriendly to businesses.

Former President Barack Obama created the Clean Power Plan the following year. It aimed to dramatically reduce emissions from coal-fired power plants. Obama also helped broker the Paris climate agreement in 2015.

Scientists who are sympathetic to the report’s findings believe it will place more pressure on President Donald Trump to beef up regulations.

“This report will weaken the Trump administration’s legal case for undoing climate change regulations, and it strengthens the hands of those who go to court to fight them,” Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton, told The New York Times.

Oppenheimer’s assessment comes as the Trump administration deals with a series of legal battles regarding the government’s handling of climate change.

Several young people sued the Trump administration alleging the federal government has not done enough to protect young people from man-made global warming,

The 21 plaintiffs, all between the ages of 11 and 22, argue that federal officials violated their due process rights by allowing the fossil fuel industry to release greenhouse gas emissions, despite knowing for years that such emissions can cause climate change. The kids want the government to phase out fossil fuels.

The Trump administration repeatedly asked both the high court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to stop the trial through a writ of mandamus, a rarely used judicial tool allowing a higher court to overrule a lower court before a verdict is made.

    Some know the real truth about what’s happening with the climate for the next 30 years give or take a few:

    This what is behind most of the shit that’s happening now, including the AGW lie:

    Lie after lie. Manipulated data on top of manipulated data. Missed catastrophe after missed catastrophe. Anecdotal AGW evidence everywhere you look. It’s “the boy who cried wolf” on steroids. To deride skeptics like we have no cause to be skeptical can only be justified by the left’s brain-twist logic and balls to match: baffle them with the bs, anticipate the backlash and accuse skeptics of wrong-doing before it’s discovered your own low IQ, laziness, and greed are the real problem here…. Climate change? Sure. Makes sense. But end of civilization so far will have nothing to do with climate and more to do with the regressive left taking us back to the Dark Ages with their mediocrity, shallow world view, and their desire to top the last outrage drama for a buck. Much like the traveling salesman selling tonic water to cure all, or the monks selling blessings and absolution for salvation…. One thing I’ve learned in my 60 years is that people just go around making s&*t up and we all end up living an illusion. I’m sure the alarmist leadership will corrupt us into a new green lifestyle without fossil fuel before it’s over.

    So we should adopt policies today which are guaranteed to reduce our GDP right away and probably more than 10% in order to prevent a possible loss of 10% GDP in 82 years. Seems like a great plan!

    We see the fools taking part in rediculous and idiotic protests while the various World Leaders as well as those leaders of the various Eco-Freak groups still not about to give up their luxeries and live in a grass hut
