The consensus enforcers seem to have "taken it to the next level." I wonder whether Michael Mann has an alibi?

Warning shots fired at Christie/ Spencer UAH Building?


News just coming in suggests someone took some pot shots at the building the UAH satellite data is analyzed in.
Shots Fired into the Christy/Spencer Building at UAH

April 24th, 2017 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.
A total of seven shots were fired into our National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) building here at UAH over the weekend.
All bullets hit the 4th floor, which is where John Christy’s office is (my office is in another part of the building).
Given that this was Earth Day weekend, with a March for Science passing right past our building on Saturday afternoon, I think this is more than coincidence. When some people cannot argue facts, they resort to violence to get their way.
Maybe the “March For Science” should have been called the “March To Silence”.
More discussion at Roy Spencers Blog and also at WUWT.
Roy Spencer adds in an email:
I doubt any media have covered it yet. I doubt the police have even written a report yet. From what I’ve heard, it sounds like the police believe the shots were fired from a passing car, and some shell casings were recovered, as well as fragments of bullets inside the building. You can quote me.

Things that feed mindless hate: Namecalling, poor science education and mangled English. When the old accurate meanings are destroyed, there is almost no chance of a proper conversation. How can two views be reconciled when people don’t speak the same language?

Best wishes to Roy, John and the whole team. If this suspicious event happened to a believer it would be front page hyperbole, “Death Threats to Climate Scientists.”

[h=1]On Earth Day, shots fired at building housing leading climate skeptic scientists[/h]Via email from Dr. Roy Spencer: Shots fired at Christy/Spencer building FYI, apparently sometime after a March for Science went past our building at UAH, 7 shots were fired and hit the floor John Christy is on. (I’m in a different part of the same building). No witnesses. I’m assuming late night Saturday or…

This seems to be the natural progression for far left fanatics. This is simply the next step on their mission to silence anyone who dares to oppose their agenda.

I never thought I'd live to see people become so desperate to impose their political will on American society, that they would stoop to such despicable levels... but here we are.

Jesus, you cannot help but feel completely victimized.
 
No police report, no witnesses, no photographs, no media coverage...and the claim originates from WUWT.


This story smells very fishy.

Why would you wonder that about Michael Mann?

Looks like just another incident of violent right wing extremism - terrorism against government organizations like NOAA- where the shots were fired at.
 
You think this is political? No, this is their religion.

Hardly. Religion only requires faith....whereas science requires fact based observable evidence.

I think the "evidence" that supports the higher end of the IPCC predictions requires considerable faith.

Oh...so you do all your own research? That's interesting.

Thats your faith based opinion.

I have a basic understanding of science and try to stay informed and keep up with the latest scientific research. How about you?

No it is not, The peer reviewed studies based on the observable evidence, show the climate's
sensitivity to added CO2 to be at the low end of IPCC's very large predicted range.
https://www.ethz.ch/content/dam/eth...documents/group/climphys/knutti/otto13nat.pdf
Many of these Scientist of this article were lead authors on the last IPCC report, and their best estimate for ECS is 2°C,
The IPCC range is 1.5 to 4.5°C, that sure looks like the low end of the range to me!

I suspect you're the only person who believes that.

So you don't do your own research.

Pulls out study number 3 of the six he has read. Again

Wonder why he doesn't present the studies that show ECS at the high end of the range?

Oh, right.

Oh, right.
Please present a study based on the empirical evidence that shows ECS at the high end of the range.
 
Because your view is not logical.

Because it makes more sense that someone who is a follower of denial conspiracy and knows of arcane differences between different temperature measurement systems and differences would choose a specific office to shoot at rather than some nut job who was pissed at all the hippies marching on Earth Day that took some potshots at a building that housed NOAA and the weather service?

Oh, wait. You are solely informed by WUWT on issues like this, so logical thought is not in your wheelhouse.
 
Jesus, you cannot help but feel completely victimized.

Not victimization, just a statement of fact. Are you denying that the left has a history of being violent to silence opposition?

Christy thinks his office was targeted. Your contortions to provide another explanation are truly tortured.
