Laughable, but always a pleasure to hear from the Climate Justice crowd. Prof Pielke  has a MS in meteorology, and some in-house expertise from Pielke Sr (Ph.D.). Do tell me sometime which climate (there are 29 or so) you wish to impose "justice" upon.

Getting back to Pielke Jr., he was worth attacking by the far more "political" OSTP hack Holdren, one of the minor scandals of the Obama administration's attempts to stifle scientific opinion on global warming (which hasn't happened for the last 20 years).Pielke's comments before the House committee are based on data from the InterGOVERNMENTal Preposterousness on Climate Change (IPCC); surely you don't disagree with such an august authority? BTW, international insurance data show the same.

As I said, if one really believes fossil fuels will destroy the world, be VERY afraid. Hundreds of coal burners for electricity are being built new abroad; US plants are converting BACK to coal. Oh Dear! the world will be better off.
