I guess that this is what a "Czar" accomplishes in a year. It's "Disruption", but it's not "Warming" or even "Change"? Heck Barry got elected on that slogan!
The American Thinker has the best analysis of this whole sorry episode:
Yup. It would be nice to have a vigorous climate science. We don't - we have a politically vigorous climate science.
In scientific terms, this means John Holdren has run up the white flag and is begging for mercy. "Warming" is something we can measure scientifically. "Global warming" is a lot more speculative, but with satellites, weather balloons, and plenty of ocean buoys, we now know that it's just wrong. Global warming has been shot down in flames by scientific skeptics who resorted to an unfair tactic called "facts and observations.

This is how dying political establishments behave. In real science, you don't have play those save-your-butt games, because you make really sure to keep out crazy and unsupported hypotheses from the very beginning. Really bad ideas never hit quality journal headlines, because you have honest reviewers who stop the corruption before it even starts.
Dr. Boli (a scientist of some sort, I'm assured, although this has always been somewhat vague) brings the snark:
"Climate Disruption"? C'mon, Holdren - if you really want to keep everyone scared, bring the Atmospheric Reform Society.
Holdren's real dream agenda is to "de-develop" the US. If he can do it through fear of warming, fine; if he can get it another way - including the menacing sounding "climate disruption" - just as good. The goal it turn us into a banana republic, minus the bananas.
ReplyDeleteAt the rate states are breaking up paved roads and making them back into gravel roads, cutting back on garbage pickup, cutting police service, and on and on, the project seems to be proceeding apace, doesn't it?
