Gosh, is there anything it can’t do?
People send me stuff. I would not have believed this unless I saw it from Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, where I constantly wonder what sort of reality those people inhabit. See the yellow highlight.
Maybe the guy is being tongue in cheek, maybe he’s dead serious, it is hard to tell. But, this sort of messaging is probably something that resonates with the caliber of people who would buy into Gore’s version of reality in the first place.
With messagaging like this, I think my first take on it still holds: Al Gore’s ‘Reality Drop’ is a bomb – so let’s give him a ‘hockey stick

A change in the weather is known to be extreme
But what’s the sense of changing horses in midstream?
From the wiki page on Mraz :
“Mraz lives a health-conscious lifestyle and enjoys eating mostly raw vegan foods.[38] He owns an avocado farm in Bonsall in Northern San Diego County. Mraz is an active supporter of several charities including VH1’s Save The Music Foundation, MusiCares, Free the Children, Life Rolls On, the School of the Performing Arts in the Richmond Community[39] (SPARC) and the Human Rights Campaign.[40] He has been named the 2010 SIMA Humanitarian of the Year. He also received the Clean Water Award in 2010 from the Surfrider Foundation.[41] The same year, he also teamed up with The Nature Conservancy[42] and created a PSA using his song I’m Yours to raise awareness about the non-profit organization’s efforts to protect the earth.[43] Jason performed at Farm Aid 2011 on August 13 in Kansas City. He has also advocated LGBT rights. ”
It would appear he supports all things liberal, CAGW alarmism apparently being one of them.
Just further support that CAGW alarmism is politically based, not scientifically based.
I bet if you asked Mraz what he thought the the correct CO2 sensitivity value was & why he thought it was the correct value, he would give you a blank, deer in the headlights stare as he wouldn’t even know what you are talking about….. yet he is passionate about this “cause”.
Emotion over facts will be the death of us all.

Al Gore, right? Which scientists? Would this be IPCC brand of science? Would this be the warmists/alarmists science? Which scientists spouting the warming meme would NOT be government funded? Can anyone point out a scientist Al Gore (or any associate) would be quoting that isn’t funded by governement? All the activist scientists are funded by government!
I may not be unique, as I suspect the sponsor of the Survey Monkey (TM) survey might not necessarily enjoy my responses. No profanity, but a dose of incredulity . . . .
“Mraz,” in the Czech, means “frost.”
Sorry, couldn’t resist…
Who the heck is Jason Mraz?!
I followed a link at the Reality Drop site (how appropriate, they dropped it long ago) to this rebuttal to climate change “deniers”.
As our climate changes, some years will be warmer than others. Yes, 1998 was unusually warm (partly it was a strong El Niño year). But overall, 2005 and 2010 ⎯ which were tied for the warmest years on record, globally ⎯ were both hotter. Scientists have observed rising temperatures, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, melting Arctic sea ice, and increased humidity over the last several decades. The full range of available data from 1880 conclusively shows the world is warming. And we can expect that trend to continue as long as humans send carbon pollution into the atmosphere

But then according to the UK Met Office 2006 was higher but 2010?

This guy needs a reality check.
What a fruitcase.
This sounds great but please tell me what your people are ingesting because I feel left out and sure would like to share some of it.
What does he think the temperature (climate, weather) SHOULD be?
Ok Climate Change is definitely something more people need to understand and look at. And I get trying to use celebrities to drum up support and awareness, but when they make silly statements like that it just takes away from the issue. Yes we get it Jason, you’re a musician. Next time try to sound smart instead of trying to sound “witty”. It just comes off like one of those Captain Planet or G.I. Joe “messages” which are targeted at little kids.
P.S. That’s not to say they weren’t both awesome shows and staples of my childhood : )
Do you people really not get that he means “We need to fight Climate Change so we can go on living and enjoying music.”
I’m as much a skeptic as anyone else but this just seems to be a willfully ignorant attack.
I really enjoy Jason Mraz’s music. His heart is in the right place, but he’s been seriously misinformed about climate change. He just needs to read this blog on a regular basis.
Having never heard of this guy in the music world, I suspect losing his music would be no great loss. Maybe even losing his “environment” is also a good idea. It’s fracking with his head.

Is there a drug we can put these guys on to bring them back to reality and the real world?
If there were, it would have to be called “Buzz Kill”.
Research not funded by government or big corporations????
…. This I gotta see.
I’d be willing to accept a little climate change if all we lost was Rap and Disco…
Nice music … he should stick to music. Noticed that he looks a bit like a young ‘Sly’.
I wonder about his concern “…This is the REAL information from scientists’ decades of research, not government or corporations…”
Read it again: it’s from the CRP (started by a politician), and backed by Arnold Worldwide (an advertising agency headquartered in Boston). Where’s their source for the scientific research? Most of their stuff comes from SkS (SkepticalScience), started by a cartoonist.
I thought it was supposed to use REAL information.
C’mon, folks! With global warming, every guitar in the world will become out of tune! The horror!
“Reality”– oh, is that what the kids call those colorful postage stamp things you lick nowadays?
It is time for artistic types everywhere to combat Global Warming by insisting on emission reductions.
Therefore, the time has come to end Burning Man.
In its place, we should celebrate Clean Green Free Renewable Energy, namely solar and wind.
Ladies, gentlemen, and all others unspecified, let us now have
Glowing and Blowing Man!
And right on cue, here’s Al Gore back from a jog.
That implies that the warming up until 1950 was driven by CO2 emissions, which were to low to be a factor. If they lie about that, then ….

That AND “truth” AND fun!
I’d give both brain hemispheres and a multitude of facts for a piece of that action! (It apparently worked for Jason.)
