That AGW predictions have failed utterly is self-evident at this point. Wildfire burn acreage is down dramatically from the early part of the 20th century, frequency and intensity of hurricanes and tornadoes have decreased rather than increased, the rate of sea level rise is unchanged. In fact sea level, as measured by tide gauges, has actually fallen for several years in succession at NYC while at the same time it is claimed that sea level on the West coast is rising. Since water seeks a level surface, how is that possible? As for the global warming it is surpassingly difficult to ascertain average global temperatures since there are large areas of the Earth in which little data is available, Africa for instance. And there are only eight thermometers in Antarctica. This creates situations which encourage cherrypicking and “infilling” of data to create an impression of warming. For example a couple of years ago the Northernmost tip of Antarctica briefly reached 60F. The creatures at The Weather Channel flipped out, OMG, it’s 60 degrees at the South Pole, climate change, we’re all gonna die! Unreported was that on the same day in the interior of Antarctica it was minus 109F. The only question at this point is why is AGW being pushed so hard, especially now as “the people” begin to question and disregard the “settled science” (a contradiction in terms) and believe the evidence of their senses.
