Mann<br />March 3, 2016 · <br />My open letter to Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX):<br />_________________<br />Dear Congressman Lamar Smith,<br />Please don't misrepresent (http://dailysignal.com/2016/02/26/the-inconvenient-facts-the-media-ignores-about-climate-change/) our recent Nature Climate Change commentary (http://www.nature.com/…/journal/v6/n3/full/nclimate2938.html).<br />Our study does NOT support the notion of a "pause" in global warming, only a *temporary slowdown*, which was due to natural factors, and has now ended.<br />Our recent work (http://www.nature.com/articles/srep19831), which you fail to cite, indicates that the record warmth we are now experiencing can only be explained by human-caused global warming.citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692282252844489453.post-6987157023412988902017-03-07T10:32:02.841-08:002017-03-07T10:32:02.841-08:00I should have waited a day to respond to Dr. Fyfe&...I should have waited a day to respond to Dr. Fyfe's "This is offensive. Please stop emailing me."<br />because a more thoughtful and meaningful response would have been:<br /><br />Really?<br />Is it offensive, or does it hurt your feelings?<br />Isn't learning all about getting over one's many hurt feeling in pursuit of better honest understanding?<br /><br />I spelled out my reasoning in a civil rational manner.<br />I made specific claims about that confusing introductory paragraph.<br />It was not laced with insults or innuendo.<br />There was nothing personal about it, except that is your name at the top of this paper.<br />It was filled with specifics about serious objections to the paper's phrasing.<br />Why not acknowledge my claims and dispute them? <br /><br />Aren't we supposed to be engaged in a learning process!<br />After all, sometimes the master can learn a thing or two from the pauper.<br /><br />Best Wishes<br />citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692282252844489453.post-55339549977168973712017-03-07T07:46:13.505-08:002017-03-07T07:46:13.505-08:00Sorry above that misspelling.

Please stop emailing me." Stop. Well, okay, didn't have any plans to continue, I shared what I needed to share. But I'm hurt that's all he had. My intention wasn't to create offense - this is about wanting to 'provoke' some deeper introspection.<br /><br />Still, if he wants to play that card - the way Fyfe2016 was written was offensive and rattled me to the core. This was my process to enunciate precisely why. I put my best effort into it and it is what it is. <br /><br />That is the way arguments are supposed to move forward. Well, in a rational world.citizenschallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559990934735912814noreply@blogger.com
