In any event, carefully listening to his words and the misch mash of partial truths woven together with pure fabrication, followed up by me tracking down the man's claims and assertions has me revisiting quite a few climate studies. In particular, there is the IPCC with it's cornucopia of information, not perfect, but as good as humans (or their endeavors) can hope to be. A sincere serious educated effort to collect and share the full scope of up to date scientific climatological information.
I have been deeply disappointed by the various 'dog-whistle' attacks on the notion of "scientific consensus" (that would be the collective educated understanding) - that in turn has inspired me to share the following index of two of IPCC's recent reports one from Working Group One that deals with the physical basis of manmade climate change, the other Working Group Three which deals with Mitigation of Climate Change.
I do so because it reveals {well you would also have to spend some time looking at the chapters themselves to get the full impact} that climatologists are indeed looking at the full spectrum evidence and just as importantly that honest skepticism is alive and well within the scientific community. Something that certainly can't be said for the likes of these Wattsonians and their one-directional skepticism.
