Climate and Weather

I recall you using data sets that had been debunked by their own creators. It's amazing what you can do when you don't care about its validity.

Reminds me of how Trump just says whatever, whenever and then maybe just the opposite a few minutes later with no consideration for the truth whatsoever.

You have been duped and are spreading misinformation. The entire article you posted just oozes with bullshit. How in the hell can you be that stupid? Typical rightwing bullshit - idiots! Stop making America weak and try to think a little for yourself.

Below is the related press release from the Univ. Of Manitoba which states:

The Science Team of the Canadian Research Icebreaker CCGS Amundsen has cancelled the first leg of the 2017 Expedition due to complications associated with the southward motion of hazardous Arctic sea ice, caused by climate change.

This regrettably postpones the much-anticipated Hudson Bay System Study (BaySys) involving 40 scientists from five universities across Canada. Timing was key for this $17 million, four-year, University of Manitoba-led project.

The need to deal with extreme ice conditions in the south meant the ship would arrive too late on site to meet research objectives.

The research of our scientists clearly indicate that climate change is not something that is going to happen in the future – it is already here. Research results from scientists onboard the Amundsen and innovative Networks like ArcticNet show the impacts of climate change in Canada’s Arctic and Arctic Ocean affect not only northern ecosystems and communities, but also the environments and people living in the south of Canada – as so dramatically seen off the coast of Newfoundland.

The provision of the best information possible is essential for proper planning, decision–making and adaptation to the realities of climate change.

This experience, and climate change conditions currently affecting Churchill, Man., clearly illustrates that Canada is ill prepared to deal with the realities of climate change.

I think you might want to read what I posted along with the link...

The part about trust.

But if you want to debate the merits of the article that's fine as well.

But if you want to talk about manipulating data towards a particular outcome our friend Heller can show you the way. Referencing back to the previously linked http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...fia-caught-tampering-with-the-evidence-again/, scanning down the article we see this graph.

One thing that flags about the above graph is that on the wood for trees graphing site whoever plotted this specified an interval of 60 to smooth the data. That's a strange interval. So lets just go to wood for trees site ourselves and graph the exact same data but without the smoothing (I also included UAH 5 as well as UAH 6 for comparison, same offset, I didn't bother with the trend lines because I consider them effectively worthless with out some metric on the scatter. Anyway, this is what the plot now looks like.

So if you want to cheat, that's how its done. I wonder how many smoothing values he had to punch in before it worked out the right way. One might ask, "Hey, isn't he doing the exact same thing he's accusing the scientists of doing". And the answer would be yes.

Berkshire Shareholder Meeting 2015

Up to now, climate change has not produced more frequent nor more costly hurricanes nor other weather- related events covered by insurance. As a consequence, U.S. super-cat rates have fallen steadily in recent years, which is why we have backed away from that business. If super-cats become costlier and more frequent, the likely – though far from certain – effect on Berkshire’s insurance business would be to make it larger and more profitable.

As a citizen, you may understandably find climate change keeping you up nights. As a homeowner in a low-lying area, you may wish to consider moving. But when you are thinking only as a shareholder of a major insurer, climate change should not be on your list of worries.

Of course not, they exclude or flat out won't insure any warming related disaster coverage.

I read the point they were making to be that if there were an increase in global warming disasters people would buy insurance to cover it, thus more opportunity for Hathaway to make money.

Makes sense. Insurance isn't worried about its exposure to climate-change-related claims because those would be largely excluded from coverage.
 
Trump pledged on Thursday to reverse actions instigated by President Barack Obama designed to tackle climate change and called for fewer environmental regulations. He vowed to "cancel the Paris agreement," referring to the 2015 Cop21 meeting in Paris in which global leaders pledged to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

However, the comments seem to jar with actions that Trump is taking to protect his golf course in Ireland, where global warming is being cited as a justification to build a coastal structure to prevent erosion at his resort.

It's called risk management. Happens at all coastal properties.....You know? Erosion? lol Where do they find you people?
