Further reinforcement that this whole thing has little to do with science, and everything to do with far left Progressive (nice Fascism) policies

Science can’t solve climate change — better politics can, former IPCC scientist says

It’s not every day you hear that the climate change debate needs to be “more political and less scientific” — but that is exactly what Mike Hulme is calling for.

It’s not every day that you hear the cat let out of the bag

The 2015 Paris agreement was declared “a victory for climate science“, but Professor Hulme — who used to work for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — is not convinced that the Paris deal will work.

In fact, he said he thought climate change was in danger of becoming a “fetish” and that rallying cries to “save the planet by limiting global warming to 2 degrees” could distract us from the “political logjam” in front of us.

Meanwhile, representatives of the 197 countries that signed on to Paris are making fossil fueled trips to Bonn, Germany, to yammer on again. What’s that carbon footprint for the thousands who will head to Bonn?

The professor is arguing that rather than global agreements, there needs to be agreements between small areas, like cities and town. This is also something that the Progressive gun grabbers are attempting to do with gun control: implement draconian, people controlling regulations at the localized level.

“Sometimes, framing actions as [tackling] climate change will not bring people into a community meeting. But framing it as making savings on energy bills will gain more traction,” said Macquarie University geographer Donna Houston, who hosted a postgraduate workshop with Professor Hulme in Sydney last week.

Her research found that when local councillors or community members were trying to gain support for climate action, they sometimes gave it a different label, such as “sustainability”.

“It was often easier not to refer to climate change,” she said.

In other words, bullshit people in order to allow government to force them to change their behavior.

They can’t convince us that AGW/ACC is real, that mankind is mostly/solely behind the small increase in average temperatures and that this is super bad, and they can’t even convince most Warmists to practice what they preach, so, lies to force compliance.
