Dr. John Christy: Obama’s climate change report ‘does not bring out in clear view for the public to see how poorly climate models have performed’

Obama’s National Climate Assessment is comprised of state-by-state regional climate model projections, however, as noted by Dr. John Christy in this WSJ article today, regional climate models “have no skill” and are far too unreliable to make such predictions.
“some climate scientists said that regional climate models are too unreliable to make these local projections with any certainty. “When looking at the regional results of climate models, as we have done, we find the models have essentially no skill,” said climate scientist John Christy at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, who tracks global temperature trends using satellite sensors. “The models are well off track in demonstrating accuracy in something as basic as the global atmospheric temperature, much less local events,” he said. “Yet the report does not bring out in clear view for the public to see how poorly models have performed.”
Climate Change Is Harming Economy, Report SaysWhite House Says Urgent Action Needed; Report Details Effects in Every StateBy ALICIA MUNDY and COLLEEN MCCAIN NELSON THE WALL STREET JOURNALUpdated May 6, 2014 8:40 p.m. ETA new report from the federal government says changes in the climate are causing harm to Americans and the economy, which has caused billions in damages and will continue to get worse. Alicia Mundy has details. Photo: Getty.Climate change is creating problems for American citizens coast to coast and costing the economy billions of dollars, as extreme weather brings flooding, droughts and other disasters to every region of the country, a federal advisory panel concluded in a report released Tuesday.The congressionally mandated National Climate Assessment, produced by more than 300 experts overseen by a panel of 60 scientists, pins much of the increase in climate change on human behavior. The report says, however, that it isn’t too late to implement policies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, and calls on governments at all levels to find ways to lower carbon emissions, particularly from energy production.The climate-change report notes a rise in extreme weather events, such as 2012’s superstorm Sandy, shown flooding Mantoloking, N.J. Associated PressThe document, considered the most comprehensive analysis of the effects of climate change on the U.S., was released by the climate panel after a final vote by the …

‘Climate Hustle’ or ‘American Doomsday’?! Obama climate report panned by scientists – ‘Pseudoscience’ ‘sales pitch’ ‘follow the money’ ‘total distortion’ ‘false premise’ ‘outdated & wrong’ ‘failure’
Climate Depot’s Exclusive Round Up of Reactions to President Obama’s new global warming report.
Actual NBC News headline: ‘American Doomsday’: ‘White House Warns of Climate Catastrophes’
Obama climate report exposed: ‘Leading authors of this report include staffers for activist groups like the Union of Concerned Scientists, Planet Forward, The Nature Conservancy, and Second Nature’ – Heartland’s James Taylor: ‘Few objective climate experts will take this report seriously. Even those scientists who are not overtly affiliated with environmental activist groups were almost uniformly on the record as global warming alarmists before being chosen to write this report. The only real surprise in the report is it didn’t take the opportunity to trumpet the Union of Concerned Scientists’ call for U.S. unilateral nuclear disarmament.
Update: Watch Now: Marc Morano on TV explains Obama’s climate report: ‘It’s bastardizing science’ – ‘This is a political report meant to give cover for a political agenda’ – Morano: ‘Sarah Palin, the former VP candidate, was ridiculed for implying she could see Russia from her house or from Alaska. Well now they say you can see global warming from your back yard or out your window…They have basically said every storm now is proof of global warming. And we must ‘act now’ to stop bad weather. As though acts of Congress or our EPA can stop storms…This is a political report — predetermined science. They selected lead authors from Nature Conservancy, from Union of Concerned scientists from other environmental groups.’
Climate Depot’s Morano Statement on Obama climate report: ‘This report is contrary to peer-reviewed studies and observations’ – Morano: ‘This report is a misdirection. Obama has entered his 2nd term lame duck status and with climate executive orders he does not need Congress to ‘do something’ about global warming. This report is contrary to peer-reviewed studies and observations. By every measure, so called extreme weather is showing no trend or declining trends on 50-100 year timescales. Droughts, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes are not increasing due to man-made global warming. Why does the report now call ‘global warming’ a new name, so-called ‘climate disruption’? Simple answer: Due to earth’s failure to warm — no global warming for nearly 18 years – another name was necessary to attempt to …
