    Scientist: Data 'increasingly unnecessary' because 'we can see climate change'

    Michael Mann, scientist: Data 'increasingly unnecessary' because 'we can see climate change'
    By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Monday, June 27, 2016

    Leading climate doomsayer Michael Mann recently downplayed the importance of climate-change science, telling Democrats that data and models "increasingly are unnecessary" because the impact is obvious.

    "Fundamentally, I'm a climate scientist and have spent much of my career with my head buried in climate-model output and observational climate data trying to tease out the signal of human-caused climate change," Mr. Mann told the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee at a hearing.

    "What is disconcerting to me and so many of my colleagues is that these tools that we've spent years developing increasingly are unnecessary because we can see climate change, the impacts of climate change, now, playing out in real time, on our television screens, in the 24-hour news cycle," he said.

    Mr. Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State, spoke before the committee June 17 in Phoenix, Arizona.

    His comment drew hoots from climate skeptics, including the website Greenie Watch, which posted his comment under the headline, "'Scientist' Michael Mann says there is no need for statistics: You can just SEE global warming."

    "Unsurprising. The statistics are pretty doleful for Warmism," said the site in a Monday post.
    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    That sounds cult like, like when people see refugees running away from climate change or they see a storm here and a draught there and therefore the world is unravelling. Or someone just abandoned his wife and children for a man and therefore he is finally coming out of the closet and doing the right thing. No need for proof or data, just "my world view declares".
