David Suzuki's reputation destroyed on Australian TV (ABC1 23-Sep-2013)
Bill Koutalianos mentioned to environmental activist David Suzuki that many man-made global warming advocates refuse to acknowledge the fact that UAH, RSS, HadCRUT, and GISS data show relatively flat global temperatures since 1998.
Suzuki looked confused and asked what these references are.
Bill had to explain to Suzuki that these temperature data sets are consulted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for their reports.
Suzuki was still clueless.
When it was explained that UAH is the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Suzuki could only offer a slur on climate skeptics in Huntsville.
Suzuki implied that climate scientists in Alabama are redneck idiots, and by inference extended this opinion to the temperature monitors at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the private company Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), and the Hadley Centre at the UK Met Office along with the Climate Research Centre at the University of East Anglia (HadCRUT). All say global temperature rise has stalled for more than a decade.
The simpler conclusion is that Suzuki is the idiot.
