This is a must watch, share it widely. Mark Steyn demolishes the “science is settled” meme in the Senate hearing yesterday. His ability to argue effectively on the fly is very impressive.

This video makes a lasting impression for anyone and everyone. Even for those it forces to try and get people to ignore it. And it naturally leads to anyone being able to step back and add perspective that alarmism cannot tolerate. (Also better than Steyn’s question to Markey in the other video as to whether Markey or his family were at Plymouth Rock in the other video. We know where Steyn was coming from only because we already knew where he was coming from. Debunking cherry picked weather from all over the place is difficult off the cuff and doing so in that manner didn’t exactly reach home. Actually, that kind of debunking is where this website comes in. Unfortunately, the misdirection is already achieved by then. Something to work on for the likes of Steyn.)
Perhaps someone has done this already, but it should make sense to pull all the IPCC reports and publications over time to document how their story has changed. No need for counterargument, no need for opposing scientific papers. Simply document their predictions, conflicting alarmist warnings (temperatures will increase by 7 degrees, no 4 degrees, no 2 degrees, no wait, 1 degree, etc.).
Document the flattening of historical data over time (there was at least one early IPCC report which still showed the Medieval Warming Period.
Document the heating up of more recent historical data (which they’ll have to cool 5 years from now to show more warming.
I know all of this has been done piecemeal here and there, but could be done in a very straightforward manner without a lot of the accompanying noise.
At the end of the day, it should be possible to produce a product that shows that the IPCC simply doesn’t have a straight story, constantly revises history, and constantly modifies it’s projections toward the less drastic.
Sounds like a good idea Justin. I’m too lazy to even try it. I’m afraid that for some, no amount of evidence will convince them. For a good example look at this link to the history of the seventh day adventist http://www.eaec.org/cults/seventhdayadvent.htm . As a small child I was taken to a seventh day adventist church by my step grandmother. I don’t remember how many times I attended. I told my mother I didn’t want to go and that was the end of it. I always thought it was BS even at 9 or 10 years old.
Far from shrinking from exposure of their hypocrisy, the warmunists are embracing it as proof:

My mother was a smoker and died of lung cancer. Dad quit at age 40 and died of other causes at 86. Oldest brother died younger, also other, but also smoked. Now three of us – 83, 75, 72 – all going strong or ailments are not lung related.”
And my brother hit a parked car on his snowmobile doing 60 mph and lived.
Not sure, but I think the point is: some people are just lucky. Or have good genes.
I personally don’t want to try smoking or hitting a car at that speed to find out.
Thank god for the voices who dare question the so-called experts. Yes, Mark Steyn, this is still a free society thanks to those who stand up for freedom such as yourself.
Thanks, Mark Steyn, for saying it like it is.
Thanks, Anthony, for WUWT!
Wow! What a bunch of arrogant strutting peacocks.
From Senator Peters whining about an unbalanced hearing to Senator Nelson’s idiotic statement that the pro climate change side was being censored, I had all I could do just to sit through it all. Not to mention the obsequiousness of Admiral Titley. “Thank you for the question, Senator.” “Thank you for the question, Senator.” “Thank you for the question, Senator.”
And did you notice how Admiral Titley couldn’t answer the question about what percentage of warming is caused by humans? All he could say was, “a significant amount”. He couldn’t give a number. I don’t know why he didn’t just make one up like they usually do.
Then towards the end, Senator Peters said so proudly that there was no censorship at this hearing. Yeah, well, there would have been if not for Senator Cruz. Both Senators Markey and Schatz tried to prevent Dr. Curry from responding to statements that she disagreed with.
It doesn’t matter what the issue is, the left always tries to shut the other side up.
