Even the delusionists think the IPCC report was ignored.

After my last posts on the IPCC report:

Warmist media – like fish trapped in fast drying up muddy pool

IPCC report goes down like a Lead balloon

… comes just the independent corroboration I need from no other than one of the chief delusionists:

Climate [pause] Denial Crock of the Week

He’s not a happy bunny. It seems that he too has noticed the media no longer go along with their delusion:

The incredible contrast between the release of actual scientific warnings about climate, that MUST be heard and heeded to avoid catastrophe, and the media’s complete lack of attention – at this stage of the game, 2014, is mind boggling. (Climate denial crock of the week ) Continue reading →

Why the pause hurts the climate delusionists so much

Posted on 4 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

For years, the delusionists in the IPCC forced their view that CO2 caused the 20th century using a very simple argument:

CO2 went up
Temperature went up
Therefore CO2 caused temperature to go up

There’s no science to this argument. (The actual science as shown by Herman Harde is that a doubling of CO2 is likely to cause about 0.6C warming.  That’s the only science in this whole scam, but you won’t find a mention of this one bit of science in any IPCC report++. This science only explains around 0.1C of the supposed 0.7C warming in the 20th century.)
They were particularly fortunate. CO2 measurements only began in 1958, since when CO2 levels have risen pretty steadily, so there’s no oddity or “events” in CO2 levels to take account of. And also, when they drew a line from the 1960s to 2001 (when this scam really took off), barring a small period in the 1960s without warming, they could claim that the 30 year rise from 1970-2000 was an exact match (allowing for “noise”).
And so long as CO2 rose and they could claim that temperatures were rising, they could claim a direct relationship between CO2 and temperature.

Then along came the pause

Revealed the fool truth of UK Spying on UN Climate talks.

Posted on 3 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

UK spy HQ revealed in secret GCHQ document. Notice the cunning use of Bicycles to hide it from suspicion as the UK spy HQ.

UK spy HQ. Notice the cunning use of bicycles to hide it and avoid any suspicion of it being the UK spy HQ.


According to the Guardian:

The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, says he will launch an investigation into reports that Britain spied on other governments at two successive global climate summits, snooping on other delegations’ kit, passes and membership lists.

A government document released by Edward Snowden showed that an officer from GCHQ, the government’s eavesdropping agency, had been embedded in the official British delegation to the UN climate summit in Copenhagen in 2009 and at Cancun in Mexico.

This sounded serious. So I immediately downloaded the offending document. It’s in Danish, fortunately I am fluent in Danish (OK, I once had a conversation in Danish with a drunk in a Danish bar). And from this I have been able to learn the fool truth of this horrendous international spying ring. Continue reading →

Warmist media – like fish trapped in fast drying up muddy pool

Posted on 3 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

As I looked down the very familiar list of media outlets still pushing the IPCC nonscience, I noticed the same familiar names:
BBC, Guardian, Independent, National Geographic,ABC.
But as I posted before, this year it is almost exclusively these last diehards. But now they sound so desperate. I’ve not yet heard “this is our last warning of your last chance” yet, but I’m sure I will be reading it soon.
What these last few media outlets reminds me of, is those fish in the muddy puddles which have been entirely cut off from the mainstream by the drought. At some point they made a terribly bad decision which got them stuck in a rapidly disappearing pool with all the other fish who made such an equally poor choice.
They are not spouting the IPCC nonscience because they have any real choice, but because they tied themselves to the IPCC nonscience so firmly that they cannot get away from that stagnant pool.

In contrast, to the writhing wriggling mass of warmists desperate for someone to save them from their own choice of a muddy grave, we sceptics are having an easy time swimming in the mainstream.

IPCC report goes down like a Lead balloon

Posted on 3 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

Whilst hearing another non-science report from a group of delusional academics on drugs grants cannot be welcomed by those who pay for this non-science and have to watch our idiotic politicians who so gullibly believe them, the good news is that as far as I can see this report has gone down like a lead balloon with the media.
Yes, the usual crackpot papers are regurgitating the same sickening bile.
But beyond the crackpot fringe heading toward bankruptcy like the UK independent, or those like the BBC who are only kept afloat by huge public subsidy, there appears to be almost no interest in this report.
The consensus view must be this news headline:

The world just got its final warning on climate change

The same “final warnings” we have heard year after year after dreary year from the IPCC such as this one in 2009:

Last week’s conference has been widely reported as one at which the world’s scientists delivered a “final warning” to negotiators about the necessity for a powerful political deal on climate. (BBC 2009 after Jokenhagen)

So, yes, this may well be the “final”, “final warning”, because when the boy who cries wolf yells wolf and no one listens, even he knows its pointless to keep yelling “this is my final warning”.

IPPC lie in second paragraph

Posted on 2 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

International Panel of Climate Clowns present their latest report.

IPCC get ready for the press conference on their latest report.
(c) International Panel of Climate Clowns


I didn’t get far before I found the first obvious lie in the International Panel of Climate Clowns latest report. In fact it was item 1.1. in their synthesised report where they say:

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen.

Using the period they give (because only a clown would say “it has warmed” without any time period) even using the IPCC’s own bogus upjusted figures, the warming from 1970 to 2000 is exactly the same scale and length as it was from 1910 to 1940. So, even within the same century their unequivocal warming since the 1950s is false.
To go over their other points – and it doesn’t need complex arguments because what they are saying is just utter nuts:

Human influence on the climate system is clear

No it’s not. I’ve seen nothing at all to suggest any human influence on the climate. Continue reading →

A reply to Roger Harrabin

Posted on 1 November 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

How sceptics like me view the alarmists. They are completely defeated but just will not admit the reality of the situation. (Black Night from Monty Python Holy Grail nursing their wounds and saying "tis a scratch".

How sceptics like me view the alarmists. They are completely defeated but just will not admit the reality of the situation.
(Black Knight from Monty Python Holy Grail nursing their wounds and saying “tis a scratch”.


On Radio 4 today Roger Harrabin made the following assertions:

  • CO2 has almost certainly contributed to warming the planet
  • The current pause in warming is likely to end
  • If we double the CO2 we are likely to produce a temperature rise of about 1.7C … a range of 1.25 – 3C
  • Both sides have moved closer

I think the best way to describe this was “highly economical with the truth”. The best that I can say, is that he admitted scpetics exist and did so in a way that  didn’t obviously libel us as the Today program has done before in its “Thought for Today slot“. However, not libelling us, is not exactly the same as giving an accurate portrayal of our views.
So, I will deal with these points one by one. Continue reading →

If climate change isn't manmade – but we could control it – should we control it?

Posted on 31 October 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

I was reading a Breitbart headline:

Climate Change is Not Our Fault, So Let’s Just Deal With It, says California Professor

And took the meaning to be “it’s not our fault – but even so we must tackle it”, not the intended “just live with it”, when I realised it raised an intriguing question.
Imagine the following scenario.

  1. CO2 has been shown to have direct effect on climate of about 0.6C (Ref: Hermann Harde) and let’s assume strong negative feedback reduces that to 0.2-0.3.
  2. That incredibly, we found a way to change the environment. The obvious one is the one that we were all threatened by in the 1970s which is a “nuclear winter”. In other words, causing a massive explosion that caused lots of dust to go into the atmosphere (aka pollution).

Now let’s suppose we start to understand natural variation and we realise that we are heading toward a massive warming phase. And then we work out, that we can explode a suitable bomb without causing much if any nuclear contamination (or whatever the mechanism is) and so we effectively have a way to altar the world’s temperature to stop natural change.
Should we try to control it?
Logically, if warming (or cooling) is “bad” then it is bad irrespective of what causes it. Because dying from cold is just as bad if that cold is caused naturally or by e.g. the policy of government making it impossible for elderly people to heat their homes.
But if we wouldn’t control the climate as the greenblob has been urging us to do for years, why would we e.g. try to stop Ebola – because it’s ebola also part of the natural world and isn’t it also an endangered “species” that should be protected along with all other endangered lifeforms?

The forgotten genocide of millions of Britons

Posted on 31 October 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

If I were to say that in the last century nearly 4million people in the UK had died from something in the environment and that the UK government were wetting themselves trying to increase you wouldn’t believe me. But this is what they are doing.
The UK & Scottish government are spending billions of our money actively promoting conditions that kill!
But it is not some chemical that they are introducing, it’s the simple fact that around 37,000 extra deaths occur in the UK due to winter cold. [In the past, Age concern have suggested around 23,000 extra deaths, but apparently the figure is much higher!]

Overall, the UK exhibits an average seasonality rate of 18%, which represents about 37 000 annual excess winter deaths

So 6% of the 588000 deaths each year in the UK are connected to our colder winters. Over our lifetime that is millions of people who die of cold.  To put that in context the main causes of deaths in England & Wales (2010) are: Continue reading →

PDO and El Nino: resonant response to natural variation?

Posted on 31 October 2014 by Scottish-Sceptic

El Nino Southern Oscillation Index

El Nino Southern Oscillation Index


In a recent article by Kevin Trenberth amongst his silly comments he mentioned El Nino and Pacific Decadal Variability as one of many “the dog ate my warming” type excuses to deny the scientific fact of the pause.
In my comment to his diabtribe I suggested that PDO is very likely being just a manifestation of natural variation and this is a fuller explanation.
LC circuit

LC circuit


For the academics looking at the earth’s climate it must be very confusing because they have a lot of strange phenomenon which appear to be “something” but whilst appearing to be cyclic, they are otherwise quite random in size. Such well known phenomenon are the El Nino, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, North Atlantic oscillation, etc.
I would now like to suggest how these phenomenon are likely to be just a manifestation of natural variation.
