    Actually she is retiring so she can concentrate on her private business - hurricane forecasting for off shore oil. Yes ladies and gentlemen - she gets a significant proportion of her income from the petrochemical industry

    Who wudda thunk

    She graduated from Northern Illinois University in 1974, according to wikipedia.
    That is 43 years ago. That means you claim she was like just 20 years old when the graduated?
    Not saying it is impossible,.. but I doubt that.

    What if I told you that 97% of the scientists agree that humans are causing climate change atm?

    Thats no more true than if you like your DR you can keep it.

    https://www.nas.org/articles/Estimated_40_Percent_of_Scientists_Doubt_Manmade_Global_Warming

    97% of scientist dont agree on anything and even if they did there used to be consensus the sun revolved around the earth

    How do you explain the fact that the current warming is happening much faster than it did in the past?

    Is it? It hasnt warmed in 18 years and just how far back do you call the past? Besides it states models predict . Garbage in garbage out

    Well good. Then unlike Curry you probably know that the modeling incorporates the most current data and while not perfect is the best that can be done at the present time with the data available.

    Yes, she is resigning because she can no longer get grant funding from the fossil fuel lobby!

    More scii-cli-fiction from an idiot scientist. . 18 years ago was one of the hottest years on record.. This is cherry piking the data point. So relative to the hottest year on record global warming has leveled off at an extremely high average temperture18 years after a 150 years of continuous human created warming. In fact since 1998 we've had several years that were higher in temperature. But you believe in sci-cli-fiction.:roflol:

    "As the chart shows, Earth’s land-ocean temperatures accelerated their increase in the 1970s, setting off a new era of rising sea levels and melting sea ice. Temperatures spiked about 17 years ago in 1998 and have plateaued at similarly high levels ever since."The 14 hottest years on record have all occurred since that peak in 1998, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.:"

    Yes I even quoted it. I saw how far back it goes but the conclusions are based on computer models for the future. That you cant see there is an agenda here is beyond reasoning. Even if you are correct there is nothing we can do about it. Better to invest in adapting because sooner or later an Ice Age will return

    We dont have many years on record and even those records are not reliable . Let mother nature take its course or again do you think we are aliens ? We have been transforming the earth to make it better for us as long as we have been here.Even ants do that. Please tell me when we were better off. Whats the optimum temp for the earth and how do we get there and maintain it ?

    Lol . Change the subject much. You ran away in fear from my post without a single response and your questions are so nonsensical and gotcha--like they're not worth answering. But I'll give you a second chance at a full response to my last post without running away by changing the subject.

    That is an idiotic statement and of course your partisan hatred does not allow you to actually think.

    You don't seem to be aware that the warming from CO2 can only be measured from 1950, when CO2 is measured to accelerate. So much wrong, so little time. The knowledge or lack of seems to be rife in the true believers.

    Dr. Richard Lindzen recently made a comment that he hopes that under Trump, scientists can do real science again and not be bound by the requirements of politicized manipulation of data, conclusions, and scientists.

    The religion of "climate change" is about to have 95 theses nailed to the church doors. It is well past time that the biggest hoax in human history is exposed to the public and the charlatans removed from their thrones of power.

    The deniers live in a total fantasy world because its much easier and more fun to indulge in fairy tales. Lol it's so obvious that your trying to sound as if you really know something but you wind up sounding like an ignorant fool. What would you know about time. You've wasted yours by confusing fact with fiction. That is truly a pity.

    "(,CO2 produced from burning fossil fuels or burning forests has quite a different isotopic composition from CO2 in the atmosphere. As CO2 from these materials
    is released into, and mixes with, the atmosphere, the average 13C/12C ratio of the atmosphere decreases. Trees take up carbon in the air during photosynthesis and lay this carbon down as plant organic material in the form of rings. Remember the lower the 13C/12C isotopes found in tree rings the higher the co2. If the ratio of 13C/12C in atmospheric CO2 goes up or down, so does the 13C/12C of the tree rings. We can make a graph of the atmospheric 13C/12C ratio vs. time. What is found is at no time in the last 10,000 years are the 13C/12C ratios in the atmosphere as low as they are today. Furthermore, the 13C/12C ratios begin to decline dramatically just as the CO2 starts to increase — around 1850 AD )"

    So you disagree with the IPCC. Check.
