Another academic shows they are clueless on climate.

Posted on 9 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Over at “The End of Physics” we find a gem of a piece from this academic who says: This one is particularly irritating because it’s essentially a silly circular argument. “Yes, we’ve warmed. However, we can’t tell, using a statistical … Continue reading →

It is morally wrong to pay the BBC TV charge

Posted on 8 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

The BBC have been given ample chance to obey the legal requirements of its own charter. It has failed to do so. There is no ambiguity in this. If your views are scientifically skeptic, whether someone like Bob Carter, who … Continue reading →

The Skeptic demands: temperature data (draft)

Posted on 7 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Judith Curry had a post today which just made my blood boil when she tried to excuse the appalling culture within those groups producing a “global temperature figure” by saying “They are doing their best”. In my experience, that comment … Continue reading →

Posted on 7 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

In my last post I said the BBC are really just “The Establishment Broadcasting Company” – the broadcaster of and for the establishment. Their view was outdated in the era of empire radio in the 1920s when they were founded, … Continue reading →

Time to reform the Biased Broadcasting Company

Posted on 7 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Mathematical requirement for fractals? Implications for 1/f noise and climate.

Posted on 5 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Fractal systems all have feedbacks. They all have infinite self-similar states at different scale. As such it seems the fractal nature is caused by the feedback. Therefore I suggest that if P is the probability function of a system describing … Continue reading →

Skydragons: good physics – appalling PR.

Posted on 4 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Skydragons were right on the physics, but appallingly wrong on the PR. What they are describing is the greenhouse effect by another name. But by denying the (Noddy) “greenhouse effect”, on climate alarmist sites,  they have done untold damage to … Continue reading →

Reconciling skydragons and mainstream skeptics?

Posted on 3 July 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Greenhouse gases, are not so much “trapping” heat, as acting by “tapping” heat. They are acting as a vector (tap) enabling the flow of energy between the adiabatic controlled atmosphere and the IR radiation that eventually leaves the atmosphere. And … Continue reading →
