EPA Chief Gina McCarthy struggled to answer questions, at a recent Senate Environment and Public Works committee hearing, refusing to provide immediate answers even to basic questions, such as whether IPCC climate models were skilful at forecasting global temperature. The EPA is seeking an inflation busting 6% increase to their budget.Senator Sessions seems to have a more clear understanding of the issues than Ms. McCarthy. This is my shocked face. The whole thing is worth watching.
According to Yellow Hammer News (video below) “Would you acknowledge that over the last 18 years,” [Senator Jeff] Sessions asked, “that the increase in temperature has been very little, and that it is well below, matter of fact 90 percent below most of the environmental models that showed how fast temperature would increase?”
“I do not know what the models actually are predicting that you are referring to,” McCarthy responded.
“This is a stunning development,” Sessions shot back, “that the head of the Environmental Protection Agency—who should know more than anybody else in the world, who is imposing hundreds of billions of dollars in cost to prevent this climate temperature increase—doesn’t know whether their projections have been right or wrong.”

EPA Chief has no idea whether the climate models relied on by the IPCC are accurate
Of course she doesn't:
Well, since facts are irrelevant to the EPA and its goals, she really doesn't need to know.

ReplyDeleteThat's an organization that needs to be defunded...
ReplyDeleteI believe the senator is also wrong. The temperature has been lower than 90% of the models, not 90% below the models.
ReplyDeleteIf my predictions were that far off the mark I would be out of job, not asking for an increase. Govt sector sickens me, the lack of accountability and wastefulness with no clear results.
