PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Dom Giordano talked to Joe Bastardi, from Weatherbell Analytics, on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT to discuss the People’s Climate March in New York City.
Bastardi said that people are not causing climate change and expects scientific data to eventually back that up.
“The debate on what is going on is over. It is over. Now we just have to see what happens when the Atlantic flips into its cold cycle and the cyclical nature of the sun, whether we return to the temperatures we were in the late seventies as measured by objective satellite readings.”
He commented that the protestors at the climate march were more concerned with their political agenda than climate science.
“If you really paid attention to what happened, the mask is off, and I appreciate that those people that organized this came out and let us know who they were. If you look at the list of people, Communist Party USA, Socialists. Fine, if you want to have that debate, that debate should be done at the polling place and should be done in the halls of Congress or try to change laws. It shouldn’t be prostituting the weather and climate for your own needs.”
Bastardi stated there are technical disagreements that can be addressed among scientists, but really doesn’t rise to any level of concern for the general public.
“This is ridiculous. This should be two weather geeks arguing over a chess game with a cup of tea or whatever you want to drink. The whole thing is blown out, it’s one of the weirdest arguments I’ve ever been involved with, because in the end, there is nothing new under the sun, and nature, not man, rules the climate system.”
Bastardi, hmm let;s have a look at this nutjob.
http://www.desmogblog.com/joe-bastardiSo he has a bachelor in science (meterology), so he isn't qualified to speak on the subject as he is nor has he published research ever, EVER.
“We will get our answer in the next 20 to 30 years. And we don't have to panic. We don't have to rush around because if I'm right, the earth's temperature is going to cool a degree to a degree and a half Fahrenheit the next 20 to 30 years. And if it does, then that's a game, set, match. You know [CO2] is not the driver that people say.”
Ya buddy let's wait around while you take wild guesses, he doesn't even offer his fucking alternative.
“Common sense dictates that a trace gas needed for life on the planet would not be the cause for destroying life on the planet. Common sense dictates that what has happened before without man can happen again with man. Common sense would dictate that you not believe me, or any one else, but go look for YOURSELF."
Common sense? common sense dictates that water shouldn't kill people when they consume it. Water is needed for life, how could it killl someone? fucking stupid as fuck.
HOLY FUCK THIS IS THE WINNER.
“CO2 cannot cause global warming. I'll tell you why. It doesn't mix well with the atmosphere, for one. For two, its specific gravity is 1 1/2 times that of the rest of the atmosphere. It heats and cools much quicker. Its radiative processes are much different. So it cannot – it literally cannot cause global warming.”
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAH
AHAAH, tell that to Venus. He sounds like a creationist, if the moon is moving away shouldn't it be by mars now?
“I might point out that Bastardi's background is in weather forecasting, not climate science. Asking him to comment on the science of climate change is rather like asking a country doctor to comment on the latest developments in biomedical research. The media really ought to know better.”
you don't hire a fucking plumber to do your math homework, just because all the real experts disagree with you doesn;t mean these idiots get to have a say as well.
He hasn't had one correct prediction, he stated that sea ice would be at it's peak in 2005, we know how that went, in the complete opposite direction. That's what one would expect when someone is lying.
Go find another moron for me to grill.
