“What data? “ David Suzuki on Q&A David Suzuki’s performance on Q&A last
night was extraordinary. I was knock-me-over amazed that he has not heard of
UAH, GISS, HADcrut and RSS, and knew nothing of the pause in global surface
temperatures that even the UK Met Office
and IPCC lead author climate scientists like Hans von Storch are
discussing.
How afraid is Suzuki about man-made global warming? So
afraid, it doesn’t occur to him to check the data, incredibly he doesn’t even
know what the data is. Tony Jones had to rephrase the questions to explain them
to Suzuki, who doesn’t even understand them.
How much is his reputation as a scientist worth when he
doesn’t even bother to check the evidence for a cause he stakes his reputation
on? Three times in Q&A he admitted
he didn’t know — he didn’t know there was a pause in warming for the last 15
years, he didn’t know how global temperatures are measured, and he didn’t know
that cyclones were not increasing over the Great Barrier Reef. He wants
politicians jailed for “denying the science”. “You bet!” he exclaims, but then
admits he hasn’t thought that through either…… Even Tony Jones asks how
realistic solar is. At this first prod, Suzuki throws his hands up in the air,
“I don’t know”.…The man is emphatically an activist who might as well be
innumerate. He is unburdened by data, evidence or logic.....To Read More.....
