Climate weirdness coming from the snakes nest

Russ Steele

In Mayan, Cancun is "snake's nest".  World leaders and scientist are meeting in Cancun for the latest round climate change talks. Back home here in California, CARB’s Mary Nichole’s called climate change "climate weirdness", and true to her description we are seeing a lot of weirdness coming from the snake’s nest in Cancun Mexico.  Here is an example from an article by Louise Gray at the UK Telegraph:

Professor Kevin Anderson, Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, said the only way to reduce global emissions enough, while allowing the poor nations to continue to grow, is to halt economic growth in the rich world over the next twenty years.

Professor Anderson admitted it “would not be easy” to persuade people to reduce their consumption of goods. He said politicians should consider a rationing system similar to the one introduced during the last “time of crisis” in the 1930s and 40s.

Why should we need to resort to WWII rationing according the good Professor?

Unless emissions are reduced dramatically in the next ten years the world is set to see temperatures rise by more than 4C (7.2F) by as early as the 2060s, causing floods, droughts and mass migration.

Those were similar claims made by James Hansen at NASA twenty years ago, and guess what!  The raw and satellite temperatures are not rising beyond natural variation, only the "adjusted" temperatures at Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research are rising. We are not seeing unusual drought or floods that have not happened in the past, before the scary rise in CO2 that the good Professor wants to curtail. It was appear that Cancun is living up to it’s reputation for snakes, only this time the real problem is a snake charmer from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.

Exit question: Will the Sierra Business Council be endorsing Professor Anderson’s recommended solution to a no-existing problem?
