Climate Change – Maybe, Just Maybe, It’s Because Their Argument Is Unsound

Its been taught in the grad schools for decades now virtually everyone under 30 believes that we need sustainability (because of too much carbon) with in a few more years the majority of the citizens will agree to anything to save the planet and the polar bears.

Mark Steyn on the despair of the warmists:

The hysteria of Mann-style alarmism is going nowhere with the public, as one of the hysterics in Australia, Graeme Richardson, acknowledges here:
The sceptics and deniers have turned the 70 per cent-plus belief in climate change into a minority because no one has engaged them.
As my distinguished co-author on Climate Change: The Facts, Jo Nova, responds:
That’s right Graham, we unfunded bloggers and the few surviving skeptical scientists not evicted and blackballed from our universities (yet) have tricked 20% of the population because no one has put forward the climate change arguments except for: The Climate Commission, CSIRO, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Royal Dutch Shell, GE, Panasonic, The ABC, The BBC, The Guardian, Fairfax, The Australian government, most universities, The EU, The UN, The World Bank, and the IMF.
Not to mention President Obama and the US Coast…

Scientific integrity versus ideologically-fueled research

Sir Karl Raimund Popper (28 July 1902 – 17 September 1994) was an Austrian and British philosopher and a professor at the London School of Economics. He is considered one of the most influential philosophers of science of the 20th century, and he also wrote extensively on social and political philosophy. The following quotes of his apply to this subject.

If we are uncritical we shall always find what we want: we shall look for, and find, confirmations, and we shall look away from, and not see, whatever might be dangerous to our pet theories.

Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.

… (S)cience is one of the very few human activities — perhaps the only one — in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected

I think we have lost what Popper taught us!

Climate Etc.

by Judith Curry

The main intellectual fault in all these cases is failing to be responsive to genuine empirical concerns, because doing so would make one’s political point weaker or undermine a cherished ideological perspective. – Heather Douglas

Climate Alarmists – The Ultimate Snake Oil Salesmen

It maybe Snake Oil but it appears that it can still be sold — if you are an academic.

Real Climate Science

Today, climate alarmists say that rain in Texas is caused by fossil fueled poisoned weather.

These same clowns were blaming the Texas drought on global warming, and predicting it would get worse.

The reality is that Texas is having normal weather.

Nothing has changed one iota. The climate of Texas is exactly the same as it has always been. These people are selling snake oil – a non-existent cure for a non-existent problem.

The despotic regulatory state

That is a very accurate description of the American public which have now become nothing more than lemmings.

NASA – Hiding The Decline

George Orwell, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

Real Climate Science

In 1976, the New York Times reported that the Northern Hemisphere had cooled nearly as much since 1945 as it rose in the first part of the century.

NYTimes.com

The National Academy Of Sciences reported this cooling.

But it didn’t fit the global warming agenda, so NASA has since made almost all of that cooling disappear.

NASA temperature data is propaganda, not science. Skeptics who pretend that NASA temperature data is legitimate, are enabling this scam.

Comparing 1975 National Academy Of Sciences To 2015 GISS

George Orwell, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

Real Climate Science

In 1975, the National Academy Of Sciences published this graph, showing about 1°C warming in the Northern Hemisphere from 1885 to 1940, and that all 1900 to 1940 warming was lost by 1970.

GISS has since reduced the 1885 to 1940 warming by half, and reduced the 1940-1970 cooling by two thirds.

The next graph shows an overlay of the two at the same scale, normalized to 1905-1940

The animation below shows how they reduced both the pre-1940 warming, and the post-1940 cooling. Neither are explainable by global warming theory, so government experts made both largely disappear.
