Alarmist David Suzuki - a "complete know-nothing"

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

After watching Q & A  with David Suzuki....I am starting to  feel kind of sorry for Alarmists....

David Suzuki also had to admit  he was wrong..lol.

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s3841115.htm

"David Suzuki on the very first question is revealed as a complete know-nothing. His questioner tells him that the main climate

data sets show no real warming for some 15 years.

Suzuki asks for the references, which he should have known if he knew anything of the science.

His questioner then lists them: UAH, RSS, HadCrut and GISS - four of the most basic measurement systems of global

temperature.

Suzuki asks what they are.

Anyone interested in global warming should know right there that Suzuki has absolutely no understanding of what he is talking

about...

For Example - 

Challenged from the floor by Professor Stewart Franks, Suzuki admits he might have been mistaken in claiming global warming

was causing more cyclones, which he blamed for killing the Great Barrier Reef. He blames some Australian for “suggesting” it to

him. The truth, as I’ve noted before, is easily found on the Bureau of Meteorology website:.."

Between Tim Flannery and David Suzuki, it must be very embarrassing time to be an Alarmist......lol.

and according to that  Liberal Party Member and Mining Magnate Gina Rinehart surrounds herself with skeptics ......why would that be ? 

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

David Suzuki said the Australian Great Barrier Reef is being destroyed by Cyclones...

STEWART Franks: In an opinion piece (published by The Age) last week, you wrote that the Great Barrier Reef was threatened by

the increasing frequency of cyclones. Everyone watching and listening can go on to the Bureau of Meteorology's website and see

that there's no increase. In fact there has been a decline over the last 40 years and no increase in the severity. Are you not, by

exaggerating ...

Suzuki: That I have to admit.

Franks: ... or even just getting wrong, are you not actually vulnerable of actually undermining your own aim in that, you know, the

Great Barrier Reef does have environmental threat, but cyclones ain't one of them?

Suzuki: All right. That was one, I have to admit, that was suggested to me by an Australian, and it is true. I mean, it may be a

mistake, I don't know.

(TRENDs in tropical cyclone activity in the Australian region ... show that the total number of cyclones has decreased in recent decades ... Two (recent studies) suggest that there will be no significant change in tropical cyclone numbers ... The third study, based on the CSIRO simulations, shows a significant decrease in tropical cyclone numbers for the Australian region ...)

Suzuki has spoken about the Great Barrier Reef Iza....expect he showed he's a complete know-nothing.....especially regarding

the Great Barrier Reef.......   Which was the point of this thread..

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

expect = except

[izabsmiling]

Siggie, It really doesn't make sense to refer to some-one as a 'complete know-nothing'.....it looks like a smear campaign.Personally,  I feel that the broader message is an important one (our future/our environment) ....and it's not one that he alone is concerned about

David Suzuki: Australian scientists should be up on the ramparts

In my country we have a government that, I am ashamed to say, is even more intensely on this path because it has been in power longer than Mr Abbott. Stephen Harper, our Prime Minister, was a big admirer of John Howard and of George Bush, and he has cancelled virtually all research going on in Canada on climate change.

He has muzzled government scientists: they are not allowed to speak out in the public, even in areas in which they are expert, unless they are first vetted by the Prime Minister’s office. Scientific papers must go through the Prime Minister’s office before they are allowed to be submitted for publication. So we’re now getting science being moulded to fit a political, ideological agenda. He is laying off scientists in sectors like atmosphere research, forestry, and fisheries. So we can go into a very uncertain future basically blind.

In the book 1984, George Orwell speaks of “newspeak”, that when you can convince people that black is white and that war is peace, you can tell them anything. And what better way to allow people to believe whatever you say, by shutting down all avenues of serious, hard information.

How can we make truly informed decisions if the scientific community itself is shut down? I say to you, that in your society scientists better be up on the ramparts making sure you don’t fall on the path that Canada is on right now. When politicians are relieved of having to pay attention to real information – to science – they can base their decisions on what: the Koran? the Bible? My big toe has a bunion?

As a Canadian, I beg Australians to think hard on what’s happening in Canada, and please avoid that in your country.

He has embarrassed himself Iza.....

Directly quoting him proves it......poor David.

[izabsmiling]

He is but one man in a world of many .Enjoy his mistakes though if you wish .

just don't try suggesting that mj is good for my health and should be made legal ...oh hang on ..you did that lol

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

"..We are now at the point in the age of global warming hysteria where the IPCC global warming theory has crashed into the hard reality of observations...Dr Roy Spencer..

Ain't that the truth!!

[izabsmiling]

it doesn't help me Siggie.

 Now you have David Suzuki being in your opinion a complete know-nothing..

what do you know about  ISDS's  (below) ?

 Doesn't sound good does it ?

Abbott: Open For Business — And Multinational Lawsuits By Mike SeccombeSeptember 20, 2013

Labor rejected it outright. Even the Howard government issued America with a rare “no” over the legislation, declaring it contrary to national interests. But now the Abbott Coalition is flirting with a trade agreement that would allow companies, acting increasingly in secret, to sue Australia if they don’t like its regulations.

Well, NO actually it is not the truth, that is NOT what the report says and was even acknowledged by the gutter press that THEY got it wrong.  But the trolls are just stuck on that one FALSE article, like a broken record.  Pathetic.
