Looking beyond ‘weather man bad’

Many recent letters mentioned my name negatively related to my pragmatic views on climate. They ranged from the derogatory (BS) to the hilarious (I’m paid to have an opinion), the fact is, I’m not.

They were all of a meme, “weather man bad.”

I used to be entirely on the other side of the issue. I used to be a climate activist, until I met Jim Goodridge, former California state climatologist, who retired here and befriended me, showing me how to look at climate data objectively. He pointed out that data has no agenda, but some people who “manage” data do.

All of our climate data is “adjusted”.

Another said we “… have a team of 12,000 meteorologists, biologists, climate scientists, etc.” implying don’t listen to my opinion, listen the theirs. Ironically, they’re under government pay; they don’t toe the line, they don’t advance, or get research funding. Trust the government, that’s your answer?

If you are brave enough to visit the reference link I provide with each of my letters, you might learn to think objectively too, rather than believing scary climate headlines purveyed by the media. If any of you are brave enough, I’ll debate you on-stage, anytime.

But wait, there’s more! I just completed a book on climate, illustrating how there’s really no climate disaster looming around the corner. I’m told 300,000 copies will be printed and sent to educators and students around the country. I’ll make sure my detractors get copies. You’re welcome.
