    Default Roger Pielke takes embarrassing National Climate Assessment apart

    I am actually amazed that Trump this second volume of the Obama era report to be published. It is truly an embarrassment, based entirely on the discredited RCP 8.5 scenario described in the IPCC AR5 report. Even the Isp C is likely to abandon this as it is stretches credulity to the limit.

    A climate change report published Friday contains cherry-picked data that appear designed to warn of the consequences if steps are not taken to mitigate global warming, according to one climate expert.

    The scientists who wrote the National Climate Assessment (NCA) used unreliable information that exaggerates the risks global warming poses, University of Colorado Prof. Roger Pielke Jr. noted in a series of tweets. He fears the report will make it easier for critics to dismiss future climate studies.

    “By presenting cherrypicked science, at odds w/ NCA Vol,1 & IPCC AR5, the authors of NCA Vol.2 have given a big fat gift to anyone who wants to dismiss climate science and policy,” Pielke Jr. wrote in a tweet Friday shortly after the White House released the report. “Embarrassing.”

    Silly season as RCP 8.5 strikes again
    USNCA assumes ~15° F (~8° C !!) temperature change in 2100.
    Contrast IPCC AR5: "Warming above 4°C by 2081–2100 is unlikely in all RCPs (high confidence) except for RCP8.5, where it is about as likely as not (medium confidence)"
