Crunch Year for global warming (= the scam)

Posted on 4 February 2016 by Scottish-Sceptic

2016 will undoubtedly be the crunch year for “global warming” – undoubtedly the biggest scam in the whole of history – pushed relentlessly by academia and the public sector against the interest of the western economies. The satellites are the … Continue reading →

Formal concepts of noise within Science

Posted on 24 November 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

When I did Physics at University I was taught that the world was deterministic, that F=Ma was not an approximation, but what actually occurred and that any deviation from this was merely an inability to measure precisely enough. This was … Continue reading →

Simulations of Pacific Decadal Oscillation & ENSO

Posted on 24 March 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

I was on-line talking to yet another academic trying to explain to them that the whole temperature signal is natural variation (at least in the null hypothesis) and they kept insisting that the PDO, ENSO, AMO were “things” and not … Continue reading →

Proof: recent temperature trends are not abnormal

Posted on 6 March 2015 by Scottish-Sceptic

It has frequently been stated that 2oth century warming was “unprecedented” or “cannot be explained”. This article sets out to test this assertion on CET the longest available temperature series. I find the CET data rejects the hypothesis of ‘climate … Continue reading →

If you don’t like Fourier transforms, you won’t like this post – indeed, I’m only writing it for myself but comments are still welcome.

Interpreting graphs, blurred vision, Lewandowsky and unReal Climate

Posted on 10 December 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

I was reading Bob Tisdale’s blog Absolutely Amazing! A Climate Scientist Writes a Blog Post about… in which he discusses a post on unRealClimate, in which unRealClimate discuss Anthony Watts blog’s widget. (right) And I was looking forward to seeing how … Continue reading →

Introduction to 1/f climate noise

Posted on 10 December 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Time and again I hear nonsense from people saying climate signals are, or are not, “significant”, by this they suppose they mean “cannot be normal”. But they ignore the fact that in order to say whether or not something it … Continue reading →

Natural habitats of 1/f noise errors.

Posted on 9 December 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

I’ve been collecting a few interesting curves from the 1/f generator at uBurns.com and here is a selection showing the kinds of features that are typical of 1/f noise and which we regularly see being mistaken for “something”. Note First … Continue reading →
