“If you ask me as a person, do I think the Russian heat wave has to do with climate change, the answer is yes,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climate researcher with NASA in New York. “If you ask me as a scientist whether I have proved it, the answer is no — at least not yet.”
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Was the Russian heat wave as bad as the 1930’s US Dust Bowl heatwaves? Very unlikely.
Hey, he admitted the truth. I see nothing wrong with the above statement. If that’s what the public had gotten from the start, I’d have much more respect for the CAGW community.

I do. He says he doesn’t have the proof yet. That is the problem with how they do everything. Everything bad in the world is caused by CO2 and they approach every problem by coming up with a plausible argument to blame CO2. Give Gavin enough time and they will have a model that “proves” the Russian heat wave was caused by increased CO2. And we all know that climate scientists believe model output is reality, their reality at least…..plus they will get a couple days of headlines out of it when they release their study “proving” it.
We can’t say this event was due to,…. but we expect that in the future events like this will be due to …
Complete, utter intellectual dishonesty.
That is the sole purpose for organizations like Real Science and the useful idiots that provide content there……just to provide the one liners to the media and give their assumptions and wild ass speculation some credance.
I think you might have meant Real Climate ;^)
Sorry Steve, you are correct. I did mean Real Climate.
Wow, that was a really bad f***up. All that CO2 must be going to my head.
His statement shows that as a trained Climatologist he has no clue about weather. Claims such as this also proves he does not belong in the field!
Unfortunately for Gavin, he’s wrong…

Gavin: ……”and if you ask me as a Shaman, I would say that Gaia is angry, and the sky will begin spontaneous combustion soon……”
Oh my gosh, a moment of honesty from a Hockey Stick Data Fabrication Fraud Team Member.
Gavin Schmidt admits that global warming of Russia during the summer is ONLY a hypothesis that they have yet to prove with actual evidence. What has stricken Gavin? Check his fever. He doesn’t sound well at all.
He also admits that he’s belief stricken with his hypothesis and that he’s going to work hard to prove it regardless; ah all is normal. Can’t wait to see the data he cooks up and fabricates on this one with the magical fantasy wonders of climate science statistics.
Gavin who? Exactly where did he come from anyway?
“If you ask me as a scientist whether I have proved it, the answer is no”
Ya, what the fuck would any scientist need proof for before saying something is true.
Watch the language Mr. Meteorites! But yes, you are correct… for anyone to say such a thing (while claiming they are a “scientist”) really does tell you how far we’ve fallen… future generations really will call this the “Stupid Age”.
Gavin…typical climastrologist…
