    Default ' It's too late. We're doomed ' Mayer Hillman

    'We're doomed': Mayer Hillman on the climate reality no one else will dare mention

    “We’re doomed,” says Mayer Hillman with such a beaming smile that it takes a moment for the words to sink in. “The outcome is death, and it’s the end of most life on the planet because we’re so dependent on the burning of fossil fuels. There are no means of reversing the process which is melting the polar ice caps. And very few appear to be prepared to say so.”

    Hillman, an 86-year-old social scientist and senior fellow emeritus of the Policy Studies Institute, does say so. His bleak forecast of the consequence of runaway climate change, he says without fanfare, is his “last will and testament”. His last intervention in public life. “I’m not going to write anymore because there’s nothing more that can be said,” he says when I first hear him speak to a stunned audience at the University of East Anglia late last year.

    I'll tell you what- if he's correct I'll be spending my last days hunting down climate deniers .

    We should start collecting names and addresses.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Here is arch alarmist Gavin Schmidt, head of NOAA and a mathematician not a climate scientist, refusing to debate with Dr. Roy Spencer. Spencer is a meteorologist, principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on NASA's Aqua satellite. He has also served as senior scientist for climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Centre.

    He is well known for his satellite-based temperature monitoring work maintaining the UAH temperature dataset, for which he was awarded the American Meteorological Society's Special Award. No wonder Schmidt ran away, as Roy Spencer would have him for breakfast. It's funny how people like him and Michael Mann refuse to engage in debate, if they are so sure of their case why won't they defend it?

    The first question I would like answered is why does NOAA still used ground based temperature sensors? Satellite sensors are far more accurate and provide total Earth coverage 24/7, of course they are also far harder to manipulate and 'adjust' as well.

    It's chicken little time.

    Sea level rises by less than an inch, and Dems are screaming "It's global warming" at the top of their lungs.

    The planet will be fine, evolution will continue, earth has no need for hominids at all, especially given that they behave like viruses and bacteria.
