The Scott Pruitt "If the models are all wrong" thread

[kim carnes]

here is what happens when someone tells me they like having all four seasons:

them: "i like having four seasons, it's really great"
me: "you're a dumbass"

Boise has pretty ideal weather.  High dessert.  Warm sunny summers, dry though.  Winters no worse than the Midwest.  Its a great balance.

michiganders believe their state is the only place in the country with 4 seasons. And no, I don't feel trapped. There's a lot of area between the Oakland hills and the Pacific coast and from Petaluma to San Jose. I don't really have a desire to leave that box.

Only sane response

Yup, the 4 seasons people are always complaining that it's too cold or too hot.

Pffft.

Can someone explain this march against climate change? Like, what's the goal?

Socialist redistribution and consolidation of wealth/power in unelected bureaucrats.

I was going to say "awareness" but whatevs.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

I don't think the type of awareness going on at these events is beneficial. While watching the local news this morning, one of the marchers claimed the sea has risen 16 inches. This person lives near the ocean and believed this. Maybe she meant 1.6 millimeters? 

[Rage Against the McKee]

At least they weren't driving floats around. Can you imagine?

yeah that's lame.

Sorry guys, apparently global warming is not hiding deep in the ocean, either. Where should we look next? http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4321

The coast. 

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

I've been watching the coast for years now, and it isn't here either.

I heard a radio thing last week about the amt of nuisance floods in certain areas of the country.  There was one in the south east(don't remember where) but they were talking about how the avg per year a decade ago was 4 per year.  Now they have 40 per year.  Nuisance being a higher tide that equates to a portion of their ocean front downtown getting a couple inches of water in the main level of their businesses.  The segment noted how it has been increasing yearly.  Not Armageddon, obvsly, but something.

. It couldn't possibly be land use or any other hydrological issue.  It has to be AGW.

It was sea level slash tides related. We were listening to NPR at the same time!
