Cartoons by Josh

Josh has done a brilliant job of skewering Gavin Schmidt’s discomfort over his recent comments about a debate with sceptics. As Bishop Hill reports:

But the leaders of mainstream climate science turned down the gig, including NASA’s Gavin Schmidt, who said the science was settled so there was nothing to discuss.

    Gavinology. How good is that?

    This paragraph is telling from Pearce’s piece:-

    Third, most agreed that there was no scientific basis for the world adopting a target to prevent global warming going above 2 °C. It was “arbitrary”, they said, and cooked up by climate scientists with a political agenda

    Shouldn’t something like this be reported by say, oh I dunno, the ABC?

    Or have they made an “arbitrary” decision on our behalf?

    Yes it never ceases to amaze me how the science is settled brigade take every opportunity to crush those pesky skeptics.
    The only thing in the universe that moves faster than light is a global warming alarmist leaving a debate.:-)

    Of course Gavin still can’t work out why he can’t launch his boat from his office on the fourth floor
