We're Scientists! We Don't Need No Steeeenking Data!

Michael Mann, scientist: Data ‘increasingly unnecessary’ because ‘we can see climate change’

"Leading climate doomsayer Michael Mann recently downplayed the importance of climate change science, telling Democrats that data and models “increasingly are unnecessary” because the impact is obvious.

“Fundamentally, I’m a climate scientist and have spent much of my career with my head buried in climate-model output and observational climate data trying to tease out the signal of human-caused climate change,” Mr. Mann told the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee at a hearing.

“What is disconcerting to me and so many of my colleagues is that these tools that we’ve spent years developing increasingly are unnecessary because we can see climate change, the impacts of climate change, now, playing out in real time, on our television screens, in the 24-hour news cycle,” he said."

That used to be called "just weather". Mann needed to redefine terms for the Democrats, who now promise to prosecute "Climate Change Deniers". All dissent will become treason under Hillary. The revolution is just around the corner.
