Review of the draft National Assessment by the Cato Institute

An amazing section pushing an integrated, intrusive agenda. Did Mayor Bloomberg write this?
Specifically, it advocates for “eliminating short vehicle trips” (Page 354, line 38), improvement of “fitness and health through increased physical activity” ( Page 355, line 2), Volleyball will begin at 7am, “Innovative urban design” with “increased access to active transport” (Line 4), All must ride the bus, bike, or walk from their crowded Stalinesque dense housing, “improved building construction, provision of services, and infrastructure creation (lines 6-7)”, more expensive housing and more government spending from an economy 17 trillion dollars in hock, “promoting social interaction”, required Kumbaya begins around the campfire at 9pm, a reduction in red meat consumption (lines 12-13), darn that consumer choice! We’ll do something about that!!, “a reduction [in methane] achieved through an overall decrease in the consumption, and therefore the production, of red meat” (lines 15-16), I’m sure the required flatulence tax will go over well with the farm lobby, that a reduction in red meat consumption will reduce cardiovascular disease and cancer incidence, not statistically significant in the largest study ever performed (Rohrmann et al., 2013), but who cares, we’ve got an agenda here!, climate change mitigation and adaptation policy could also reduce health-related disparities between wealthy and poor communities, by making energy more expensive and forcing people onto public transportation? Well, yes, everyone suffers. “Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that communities of color, poor communities…are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of extreme weather events”. Yes it is a fact that houses built on or near floodplains are much cheaper; perhaps the authors would prefer none at all? “urban planning policies that ensure new building, including homes, are constructed to resist extreme weather events. Of course the expense is passed on to those who will not live in them, “improve the food security of low-income residence by preventing decreased crop production due to climate change, when three times as much effective production loss is a result of ethanol diversion, when compared to climate change (see earlier comment).

13,950 Meaningless Search Results — Rebuttal to warmists’ claim of ‘13,950 peer-reviewed climate articles’
1. The context of how the “search phrases” were used in the results was never determined.
2. The results are padded by not using the search qualifier “anthropogenic”.
3. The 13,950 results cannot be claimed to be peer-reviewed as the Web of Science does not have a peer-reviewed only filter.
4. It is a strawman argument that skeptics deny or reject there has been a global temperature increase of a fraction of a degree since the end of the little ice age.

Al Gore Goes Biblical in Ireland: Climate change is causing devastation like that depicted in ‘Revelations’
Climate change is causing devastation like that depicted in the Bible’s book of ‘Revelations’, he told delegates, including Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore, at the Hunger, Nutrition, Climate Justice international conference at Dublin Castle.
“We have to win the conversation about climate change – when you hear denial speak up,” he said.
“We cannot continue sleep walking towards the edge of history’s cliff,” he added.
