Climate Change: ‘Abrupt,’ ‘Unpredictable,’ ‘Irreversible’ and ‘Highly Damaging’ (via Moyers & Company)
In a rare move, the world’s largest scientific society released a report nudging the public to wake up to the scientifically sound and increasingly frightening reality of climate change. “As scientists, it is not our role to tell people what they…
The large tech companies were wilfully cooperating with NSA and their friends.

Moyers needs to get a more honest or up to date guest.
IIRC, AAAS lobbies congress on behalf of the edu-sci industry for research funds for important issues such as climate change. Being that this is an election year, they need to add emphasis and urgency to government R&D budgets.

"When the failure of its predictions become clear, the modeling industry always comes back with new models that soften their previous warming forecasts, claiming, for instance, that an unexpected increase in the human use of aerosols had skewed the results."
"The models mostly miss warming in the deep atmosphere—from the Earth's surface to 75,000 feet—which is supposed to be one of the real signals of warming caused by carbon dioxide. Here, the consensus ignores the reality of temperature observations of the deep atmosphere collected by satellites and balloons, which have continually shown less than half of the warming shown in the average model forecasts."
"Shouldn't modelers be more humble and open to saying that perhaps the Arctic warming is due to something we don't understand?"
Before you try to shot down the source below are the authors.
"Messrs. McNider and Christy are professors of atmospheric science at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and fellows of the American Meteorological Society. Mr. Christy was a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice President Al Gore.

The WSJ article doesn't deny climate change, they point out that the models being used by the climate hysteria crowd have no future predictive power and no ability to describe observational data. They are basically worthless and add less value than reporting the actual data which tells it's own powerful story about human activity without exaggeration and bias.
