LOL. Tony Twatts. You seem to be allergic to any reputable source. Why is that? Can't lie using them? Anthony Watts Credentials Anthony Watts studied Electrical Engineering and Meteorology at Purdue University, but according to correspondence between Purdue University and SourceWatch, he did not graduate. [1], [2] Background Anthony Watts is a former television meteorologist best known as the founder and editor of the blog Watts Up With That (WUWT), which primarily publishes articles attacking climate change science and spreading misinformation. [1] He is also the director and president of IntelliWeather Inc., a weather graphics company alternatively known as Innovative Tech Works (ITWorks) and Weathershop. Watts founded Surfacestations.org, a project with the stated purpose of documenting the siting quality of weather stations in the United States. [1], [3] Watts previously worked as an on-air meteorologist for WLFI-TV in Lafayette, Indiana, and later joined KHSK-TV in 1987. In 2002, Watts left his position as a television weatherman to devote time to his private business, ITWorks. He returned to work part-time at KHSL in 2004, and has also been the chief meteorologist for KPAY-AM (an affiliate of Fox News) since 2002. [5], [6] Watts admits “I'm not a degreed climate scientist” at WUWT. His primary credential appears to be an American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval. This does not mean that Watts is “AMS Certified” as some sources have inaccurately claimed. The AMS Seal of Approval is a discontinued credential that does not require a bachelor's or higher degree in atmospheric science or meteorology. [7], [8], [9] Watts's “About” page mentions neither his Purdue attendance nor whether he graduated. Email correspondence between SourceWatch and Purdue University confirm he attended from August, 1975 to May, 1982, however Registrar staff also confirm it is safe to assume that Watts attained no qualification from the university. [1], [2] According to leaked documents released in 2012, Watts has received funding from the Heartland Institute. [4]
imo, people should not be fully satisfied with that kind of statement for concurrence! Because it is not the same as : " Our organisation has funded a team of full-time researchers to independently carry out a multi-year investigation and experiments regarding the issue/topic, our findings have had over 70% confidence in supporting that ... ... . Here is a list of our papers that have been peer reviewed internally by a panel consisting of more than 50 reviewers in various relevant fields in top tier institutions. The data-sets can be downloaded here for public use and verification." Scientists should provide data and investigation from experiments, if not models or theories, rather than merely opinions. Just 2 cents!

I know I could be wrong by saying this but I would venture to say that both the CO2 and the temperature are not the problems, as they are actually the measures and derivatives of the real problems. The sources and the feedback loops regarding how the CO2 and the temperature are created to affect/impact the environment imo is the real problem that requires thorough investigation. According to Deming, the root causes generating CO2 and heat are the actual problem(s), imo, and both the "common" and "special" sources for the root causes must be known to people in order to reduce the adverse impact of the problem. That is the knowledge we need to learn from the experts in climate change. Not reduction targets! "We do need knowledge for improvements, and incorrect knowledge would prolong the problem and sometimes make it even worse!", per Deming (paraphrase). Just 2 cents!
Your two cents are duly noted and worth just that. Let us know when you publish your next climate science article in a major science publication.
