^^^ So sayeth the denialist Prophet Watts... (retired TV weatherman funded by the Heartland Institute) as well as Biblical Creationists, paid Exxon-Mobil, Donors Trust and Koch brother shills, potty British peers and assorted right wing tabloid 'journalists'.
more tired head. ugh. you guys really need to get your facts straight. Everything I said in the post you accuse me of regurgitating from Watts, has been stated IN SENATE TESTAMONY by Roger Pielkie Jr. A man who in fact believes in Anthropoginc Global Warming.
Everything I said has also been stated by Judith Curry who also believes as RP2 does.
Most of the posters here, even RWNJs agree that warming has occurred, even if they don't agree humans are responsible. With coastlines, it does not matter, rising sea levels will increase the likelihood of major losses of life and property along improperly safeguarded areas.
Climate change is constant. That is, it is ALWAYS changing. Man didn't do it. It has done it since the Earth came into existence.
Ill preparedness is common among those who live in risk, since risk becomes commonplace. There are tornadoes in OK, Hurricanes on the left and south coasts, earthquakes on the west coast, volcanoes all over the northwest, and lots more dangers. You can't actually "be fully prepared" for all of them.
The seas have been rising since recorded history began.
What was your point, other than to be gratuitously insulting?
The new IPCC AR5 report hasn't been released yet. Wait a few days for the actual report to be released before falsely claiming to have read it.
You must be reading conspiracy denialist websites like Watts Up With That or propaganda from tabloids about someone cherry-picking paragraphs out of context from an early draft of a 'leaked report'.
Yes, it is. But it will be more so over time. And as the recent Colorado floods demonstrated, just because a huge event has not occurred in recent history, there is no saying something big could not happen at any time.
And there's not a thing man could have done to stop Colorado's flooding. According to MMGW we should be pouring all our spare cash into keeping such things from happening.
Even in the face one of the weakest storm season in history, they're still locked on Sandy. G.W. Bush, Sandy Hook, and storm Sandy... the trifecta of progressive talking points.
The next time you see Al Gore on TV telling us how evil fossil fuels are, remember this: that fat gold Rolex on his chubby little wrist was paid for by oil.
Dam I was hoping for more jersey shore storms.. so I can hear that stupid strong then the storm song for the next 10 years!!! NOT!

In the wake of that year's report, a small number of embarrassing errors were detected in the underlying material. The organisation's reputation was also questioned in the Climategate rumpus.
Prof Arthur Petersen is the chief scientist at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and part of the Dutch delegation that will review the IPCC report.
"Overall, the message is, in that sense more conservative I expect, for this IPCC report compared to previous ones," said Prof Petersen.
"The language has become more complicated to understand, but it is more precise.
"It is a major feat that we have been able to produce such a document which is such an adequate assessment of the science. That being said, it is virtually unreadable!"
The easiest way to maintain a failed position is to make it confusing, complicated, and so filled with legalese that it can't be interpreted intelligently.
Looks like this is the position they're shooting for. He calls it a major feat, and follows up with it's virtually unreadable. That tells me it's worth less than the paper it'll be printed on. Maybe they'll get another Pulitzer. They got one for being wrong in 2007. Obama got one for... what did he do to win one?

No, neither of them makes the sort of nonsense denialist claims you do.

Read your own links... or maybe they are too complicated for you?
