Lord of the Rings – industry is seen as a facet of “mordor”
When you use the excuse that the dog ate your homework, the last thing you want is for some smart alec to pump the dog’s stomach looking for it or worse, for the stupid mut to spew up all over the teacher!
But that’s what NASA have just done!
“ocean depths have not warmed measurably in the last decade.
The cold waters of Earth’s deep ocean have not warmed measurably since 2005, according to a new NASA study, leaving unsolved the mystery of why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years.” (Tallbloke)
Answering a post today, I realised that I no longer cared about trying to educate the nutters in academia, not because they don’t need educating, but simply because nothing we sceptics have done has ever been listened to – so why should I, who is not paid, waste my time trying to educate people who have been each paid a small fortune – and who won’t listen anyway?
And then I realised, it no longer matters what these climate academics and other nutters think!
So, to explain this (to sceptics – it’s above the nutters), I drew the above graph. In the middle, we have the sceptic viewpoint which is as we all know, just plain common sense. The red line represents the academic view – which amongst other off the wall ideas has embraced global cooling and then global warming. And the black outer line represents is the constrain imposed as one gets more and more data.
The point is that I don’t seriously think academics have changed their views because of their exposure to sceptic common sense. Instead, it appears to me that finally the reality of the data is forcing them to tone down their rhetoric. And yes, we could see another “flip” and the academics go all nuts about another aspect of climate, but fundamentally (as we engineers know) as you get more and more data, the room for their kind of lunacy gets smaller and smaller … until perhaps in 100-200 years there will be almost no room at all for the kind of non-science we get at the moment.
Even after all these years, the academics who work on climate, still have no idea about natural variation. They are still looking to things that are clearly part of natural vartiation and saying “look its now warmer than it has been for a while”. And so, as those of us who understand natural variation pat them on the head try to explain the concept we know they don’t have a clue. All we can do is to hope that the lack of any recent warming will last long enough that they will grow up and begin to understand what they are really dealing with.
Fortunately, we’ve had luck on our side and Father nature has been through enough of a cooling patch to have wiped out any of the expected warming. That hasn’t stopped the nutters, but they’ve been chewing on grizzle trying to convince anyone they are right as long as the pause continues.
To my mind, the only sensible estimate of the effect of doubling CO2 is that of Herman Harde. Because as far as I can see, he’s the only one to have used the latest HITRAN database. And the fact that no one else has published papers, speaks volumes for the kind of fraudsters involved in this area.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IF THE LATEST HITRAN DATABASE HAD SHOWN THAT MORE ACCURATE DATA FOR CO2 LED TO HIGHER WARMING PREDICTIONS, THAT THAT FIGURE WOULD HAVE BEEN STUFFED DOWN OUR THROATS DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY! Continue reading
Because scientists and sceptics were never at war!
We just wanted the academics who were not working to the standards of science to either start working to those standards or stop calling what they did science.
That wasn’t a big ask – but it was too much for many.
And for daring to ask academics to work to the standards of science we were attacked in quite horrific ways – and almost all of it was against us!
And now those academics who stood by and let us be attacked, want us to end hostilities?
What a daft ask!
There’s a quite astonishing admission in a civil service report mentioned on Bishop Hill.
I am just reading from the Report, which is an agreed Report. It says, and the Chair has already quoted this, “consumers are thought to be better placed to absorb the impact of high inflation than generators”. Why did you come to the conclusion that “consumers are thought to be better placed to absorb the impact of high inflation than generators”?’ (Chair)
The Policy monkey called Hugo Robson, then tries to evade the question then attacks his own report for using the word “high” inflation and ultimately he does not answer the question.
The answer of course, is that unlike the renewables scamsters who more or less control DECC, the poor consumer is attacked because they are seen by everyone as totally gullible and willing to put up with any nonsense they forced on them. And the other truth, is that (almost) none of these MPs cared one jot about the way their constituents were being treated by these contemptuous scum in the civil service nor the way the renewables scamsters more or less controlled government policy until people like UKIP came along to offer the voters an alternative.
Now, as we fast approach the UK election, I hope these MPs are realising that renewables are a vote loser and they can no longer pretend to be serious about supporting the average voter when according to their own report the average household has been subject to “high inflation”.
Too little too late!
18 years without warming! So next year, there will be voters too young to have seen any increase in global temperature and these morons in parliament are still doing the renewables scamsters bidding and forcing up energy bill with HIGH INFLATION.
HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!! HIGH INFLATION!!
‘these professors at the University of California, San Diego say environmentalists need to stop pitching or trying to persuade people of global warming by focusing on the temperature of the earth, ’cause it isn’t rising. Temperatures aren’t going up. They need to find some other way to persuade people. He’s mentioned in this story, and to me it’s a tantamount admission that they’re wrong. But what they’re saying is, “No, we’re not wrong, we just have to find a different way to fool people, ’cause our primary premise, that CO2 is gonna cause the temperatures to rise, greenhouse, it isn’t happening. So we gotta find an alternative way of persuading.” Why can’t they just admit that they were wrong about it?’ (link)
The 2C limit is what I understood was what was meant by tackling “global warming”: the case was being put to achieve this 2C limit.
We all know 18 years without warming, failed predictions, “noble” scientists in court, etc., so, when I heard these stories that some activists wanted to ditch the 2C limit I didn’t think much except it was mildly amusing – but hardly unexpected.
But reading the above quote, I realise when I read the phrase “alternative way”, that those proposing this wholesale ditching of temperature as the measure of global warming must have in mind some kind of crazy logic by which they somehow attack the single key concept of the whole scam.
From what we’ve seen, we can rule out common sense or a sudden embracing of rationalism. So, what are they thinking? It’s there core belief that there is a huge big mega enormous problem. And now they are admitting that temperature is not “scary enough”, to get the rest of the world to embrace their hysteria. But what’s plan B? What else is there? Even in their half crazy worlds where more plant growth from CO2 is seen as “evil”, there’s usually still a small amount of reasoning.
But as I read about this I’m astonished to find that they aren’t proposing any replacement! Continue reading
When I went to University to do Physics I knew that physics was unlikely to be a career in its own right, but instead it was a means of problem analysis that was applicable to many areas of life. It was, I was taught at school, the fundamental methodology of science:
It seems to me that it is stating the obvious, that if you are investigating something, you don’t start from the premise “the human race are destroying planet earth” and expect to get a scientific conclusion any more than you would if you started from the premise that “The English are genocidal maniacs who annihilated an entire population“.
Those kinds of statements, seem to be a tad biased!
Yet, the first has more or less been endorsed by almost every academic who calls themselves a “scientist” and the second by almost every academic who calls themselves an historian, archaeologist & linguists. It is hard to think of any subject that hasn’t in some way bought into one or other of these.
And if you have never heard of the evidence that English is indigenous to England or are inclined to accept the excuse that genocide of a complete welsh-speaking population not just in England, but also in celtic-Gaul (France) as well as all most of the rest of Europe which was supposedly “celtic”, then please read this website:
There summary puts their case well:
Let there be no doubt:
We will also challenge the very existence of Celts as a distinct people with a distinct language, but not the existence of a Celtic culture. In fact we discovered an error of interpretation of the known facts and sources so big that everybody missed it until today.
We detected a stunning circular reasoning which is still used by modern historians who are specialized in Celtic language, history and culture. Continue reading
Following an article on the Toad’s website, in which they ask what would happen if a terrorist group threatened to increase world food output via more CO2, reduce winter deaths and generally make us all much richer by burning more CO2 …
So, now I wish to propose a hypothesis: that the Global warming scam, was created intentionally, by political activists using terror tactics to force people to their will.
Did they use the “terror” as a means to their political ends – yes!
So, yes, it appears the case is proven that those pushing global warming are literally terrorists.
According to the Cato institute (OK, not the most impartial site) October the 1st marks 18 years without warming.
But where are all the world’s green activists are celebrating in the streets? Where are the climate scientists are over the moon that they are no longer needed?
The only people who seem to be celebrating …. are those who are more inclined to be concerned about Global cooling.
What a topsy-turvy world we live in!
To rephrase a well known quote in the independent in 2001.
“Children don’t know what global warming is”
Now after 18 years, not a single child alive has lived through a period of global warming!
