In most normal events bringing in world leaders, one expects newspaper coverage to increase. In contrast during cop21, I would swear the coverage has gone down. Indeed, it’s hardly worth looking at what the media are printing daily – because after 5minutes skimming to find anything with any meet in it, I realised I reading yesterday’s news. So, it doesn’t even take the time for coffee to cool, let alone drink it.
But I thought a lot was going on with the “#cop21” hashtag – indeed, there were 10s of thousands of tweets every day most with glossy PR pictures. So, I then filtered the hashtag for “only those that have had replies” – it was then dead!! Again I was getting less than a dozen a day. In other words, all those 10s of thousands of tweets are generating no real interest – they are just junk spewing onto the internet, almost certainly paid for by the public purse, which no one reads. And the reality is that more sceptics are talking to each other than the total sum of those spewing out the #cop21 tag.
In short, it’s not a popular movement – it’s purely and simply mass delusion PR.

Apparently someone’s been flyposting “wanted”  posters of Sceptic celebrities in Paris.
And the response? Marc Morano posed with his ‘Climate Criminal’ wanted poster in the streets of Paris this morning and used it as an opportunity to publicise Climate Hustle!
Morano statement: “I may have to relocate to a secure undisclosed location. I hope I don’t need a stunt double tonight to walk the red carpet at the ‘Climate Hustle’ premiere.”

I’m listening to the Real Science Climate Conference in Paris and I was particularly interested in this graph from Dr Soon:

This suggests the the large 60year cycle which I’ve previously mentioned are based on orbital changes of the Sun. As such:

1. This now explains the largest change in Climate in the 20th century and now means that unexplained variation (that could be attributed to CO2) is now insignificant. As such (if this work holds up)  from asserting “no evidence 20th century warming was human”, I will be able to say “there is strong evidence it was not human”.
2. If this work holds up, it suggests the future global temperature is predictable – unfortunately Dr Soon did not provide a direct comparison graph instead I spotted this:

Note the sharp decrease in summer temperature from 2000!! Unfortunately it doesn’t show the 60 year cycle – but it does suggest relatively sharp cooling of northern summers!

For the last month or so, I’ve started keeping a note of articles that I link to when engaging with Natural Climate Deniers – it’s now a sizeable list which may help anyone else looking for suitable responses to the idiot questions we sceptics get asked.

The pause is real

According to the BGS (Link) between the 19 and 27th November there were 19 earthquakes reported in the UK of which 17 were in the parish of Warsop Nottinghamshire – two even being large enough to have been felt!!!
All were at a depth of 5km and they appear to be on a fault line running as shown below. The last “big” quake is indicated as being at the red pointer marker.
The quakes are too deep to be coal mines collapsing. A series of quakes like this could indicate an active fault which may have ceased – or we may be about to see a bigger quake. So, tie down the crockery if you live near Worksop

Marc Morano: “This film is going to turn the tables on the entire global warming movement.”

What a coincidence – the day before Cruzing day!

🙂

I can’t be sure, but it looks to me  that there is now less coverage of climate now that COP21 has started than before. Which suggests

• All the journalists who print this climate porn have flown to a posh hotel in Paris.
• Almost everyone who reads their climate porn is in Paris, leaving no reason to print this climate porn.
• There’s no good news to report.

On an entirely unrelated issue:
Golgafrincham was a planet, once home to the Great Circling Poets of Arium. The descendants of these poets made up tales of impending doom about the planet. The tales varied; some said it was going to crash into the sun, or the moon was going to crash into the planet. Others said the planet was to be invaded by twelve-foot piranha bees and still others said it was in danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star-goat.
These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitizers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.
