And Now there is News: NASA climate Gavin Schmidt RIP!

I just go and write “there’s no news today”, and then … Via Tony Heller who himself got it from Roger Tallbloke:

Donald Trump is poised to eliminate all climate change research conducted by Nasa as part of a crackdown on “politicized science”, his senior adviser on issues relating to the space agency has said. (link)

Gavin Schmidt whose contribution was always in the shadow of his much more famous boss Hansen, will be remembered for work such as this:
nasasurfacetemp1981-1999-2014Although my fondest memory of Gavin was from a conference where he and similarly minded people presented this graph as “proof” of massive feedbacks in the climate:

Grotesque

He was such a hilarious man

RIP
(Retire in peace)

    Let’s not be too hasty 😉
    It could be ‘death by 1000 cuts’ rather than the guillotine.

    I just misread the y-axis legend as ‘netflix’ and assumed it was a new fictional series they’d filmed 😀

    As a true sceptic, I always had to be open to the possibility that Trump just said he’d do something about the climate scam to get elected. So, far we’ve seen a lot of promising appointments and the removal of climate from websites, but nothing until this that really went to the nub of the bad science.
    Of course, the real crunch will be when the GISS temperature series goes offline. Or perhaps it won’t perhaps just as it was inflated by a 100,000 manipulations, it will be deflated likewise.

    Every post you write about NOAA’s shenanigans should contain Einstein’s famous joke:
    “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”
