A royal commission into climate alarmism : Comments

By Rod McGarvie, published 8/12/2015

When will scientists review the underlying assumptions and biases on which their climate change theories and models rely?

McGarvie has confused the science with the alarmism. On every matter of wide public and political interest some level of alarmism always develops, or is created, in association with the various agendas. Climate change is no different. But the unfamiliarity of science seems to make some folk more sensitive to climate alarmist controversies. Please don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Climate science has plenty of uncertainties (they are clearly defined in everything the scientists write on the subject) but the likelihood that carbon dioxide affects climate is not one of them, at least for the moment. If the precise numbers do turn out to be wrong the scientists will be the first to tell us, not the politicians, not the environmentalists, not the many vested interests. A Royal Commission won’t help.

Guys go back and look at what McGarvie has written. He doesn't say much about the science at all. He's looking at what it's achieved and forecast to date which, as he points out correctly, is absolutely nothing. Clearly there has been no major increases in temperatures.. this business about record warming during an el Nino year only underlines that temperatures are, at best, creeping up. In addition, various pronouncements by global warming ideogogues - Tim Flannery take a bow - about rainfall declining, snow vanishing, dams emptying and the arctic melting have all been flatly contradicted by events.

Sure the science says one thing, so why isn't it happening?

Rather than face a Royal Commission, the alarmists and people who think that they can actually influence the the climate (by strealing our money) should be put on trial for fraud.

For those who are still bleating about there being no global warming, could this possibly change your minds?

Robert LePage, telling deliberate premeditated lies will get you nowhere fast with me.

Suseonline, the closet communist speaks, Darling the IPCC is a POLITICAL body, it is NOT scientific. Polar ice is growing, the oceans are NOT rising, Polar bears are breeding, NOT going extinct.

Cobber the hound, this may come as a shock to you but NOT all Christians believe in creation. Darwin was himself Christian. Then there is the Christian Philosophy of Scientific Common Sense Realism.

Scientific Common Sense Realism, also known as the Scottish School of Common Sense, is a school of philosophy that originated in the ideas of Scottish philosophers Thomas Reid, Adam Ferguson and Dugald Stewart during the 18th century Scottish Enlightenment.

Tombee, surely you jest, there is mountains of evidence to prove a case of scientific fraud even worse than the Tobacco companies did. The sooner these criminals go to jail the better.

Curmudgeon, too true, the settled science shows the exact opposite of what they said, jail the criminals for scientific fraud & misappropriation of tax payers funds, now.

Imacentristmoderate, dearest, I didn't know you were a scientist?
While all else say that the arctic ice is lessening, you are saying it is not?

Where is your proof?
Just because you say all these LOUD comments, doesn't make them true...
