Conservatism and climate science : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 24/6/2014

Given that they have had virtually a monopoly of the mass media, the government and the scientific academies, doesn't that point to a fundamental problem with the 'climate change' message?

The biblical prophets were independent of the regime and risked their lives telling kings such unpopular truths which they didn't want to hear.

In contrast, scientists sit at the king's table, yet there are some who wish to confer on them the status of prophets, then combine it with the ruthless power of the state.

Had global-warming been real, then it would be better to be fried alive by the sun than to succumb to the loss of freedom by human tyrants.

It astounds me that a so-called academic can dismiss the overwhelming proportion of climate scientists as "the politically driven orthodox".

Well Godo, I suggest you read "The Trouble with Physics" by Lee Smolin (a theoretical physicist) it will blow your socks off with an exposé of the shenanigans that goes on in the name of science.

There's a logical fallacy at the end of Don's article. He seems to be saying that there's something wrong with the 'climate change message' because there is still a (now politically powerful) minority that disagree with it.

This is of course ridiculous. There will always be a minority that disagree with whatever message that might require collective or political action.

To use use Don's logic on another scientific 'controversy': Is there something wrong with vaccination? Well, the science says no, but there is a very vocal and ardent minority that like to spread doubt about it.
Using Don's logic, there must be something wrong with the vaccination 'message', and by implication that there's something wrong with the science behind it because the 'orthodox' have had a virtual monopoly on the message and yet there are still plenty of people who are unconvinced.

The thing about democracy is that collective action certainly takes a great deal of persuasion to change the status quo. It is actually quite easy for a minority to block that change, especially if that minority has powerful friends and that collective action may actually require a cost. Don, The 'virtual monopoly on the mass media' you seem to think that the 'orthodox' has enjoyed never existed.

…The debate on climate change has unknowingly metamorphosed into an internal war between the old guard Libertarian “Moral Relativists” of the 60’s; usurped by the fundamentalist conservatives: The natural state of the human mind!

the population has been so dumbed down to believe science teaches that order came from chaos that believing the gw scam is a natural progression. Pigheaded blindness dominates the true believers as fraud, atrocious predictions proving false and demonising one speaking truth is common place. The 'science ' is certainly not settled despite the rhetoric.

Don, ' Given that they (the orthodox, who accept the science) have had virtually a monopoly of the mass media,'?? Murdoch media - The Australian and other News corp papers - 65% of print media; Fox News - huge in the USA - not to mention Murdoch's other media - all blatant propagandists for global warming deniers.
Universities - yes, good science is their business. They exist to seek and teach truth, skeptically, that's why they teach the latest understanding of global warming and what must be done about it. They would not last long if they purveyed lies.

And what's this about governments being anti-democratic in taking climate action? No government has banned emission of fossil CO2 and methane, or for that matter smoking. That would be anti-democratic while there's still a significant minority who want to go on doing it.

What governments have done, with the support of a majority of voters, is protect the health of all people by making smokers/ emitters pay a tax/price on their emitting habits to cover the damage they do to communities present and future. I'd say that's democracy in action!

Then what happens? People/ corporations to as they are supposed to - avoid the taxes by switching to cleaner habits.

…Just to back you up on scamming of Enron and all it’s cousins: Those little mandated $100 deposits to NSW power companies, that were so insistently collected by them as a precursor to connecting power to your residence, have gone missing!

We have just had a round the world trip to drum up a coalition of carbon deniers, so that shows where AU's political agenda is focused on.

Our govt ; now wants to scrap the carbon price in favour of our tax money going into big company's being paid to clean up their act.

2.5 billion $ worth of clean up to big business, then what more billions of tax payers money supporting big business.

That cenerio is open to waste and fraud.

>"Given that they have had virtually a monopoly of the mass media, the government and the scientific academies, doesn't that point to a fundamental problem with the 'climate change' message?"

Yes!, Don. It certainly does. Never before have so many people been subjected to such sustained and widespread propaganda. It is driven by a religious-like belief based on mass group think with the leaders being the academics (in the soft sciences, arts, journalism, etc.).

It's interesting to notice how rapidly the change is now occurring. Until recently, sites like 'Climate Spectator', were dominated by vitriolic climate cultists. They were really abusive calling people who question their beliefs "Deniers" and "Dinosaurs" and more.

But look at the change now. The comments yesterday on a post by John Connor, chief executive of The Climate Institute: "Separating the climate dinosaurs from an evolved citizenry" http://www.businessspectator.com.au/article/2014/6/23/policy-politics/separating-climate-dinosaurs-evolved-citizenry

Not the content and tone of the 30 comments. This is a massive change.

Well, A theory remains just that, until it is proven, then it is just fact?
I plan not to accept this theory, but just make use of the precautionary principle, at least until it is either disproved by emerging facts or sea levels has risen by at least 3 metres, thereby providing enough evidence for the doubters.
A rise of three metres, will destroy most of our coastal plains, and or, the cities built on them; and, around 70% of the domestic economy!
Now,if one is to invest there, then maybe houseboats, would at least satisfy the precautionary principle, or serve us well, when next we have another one in one thousand year, floods?
Perhaps as early as next summer?
When perhaps we could experience, yet another La Nina, weather event?
Is the fact we seem to be having more of these, down to climate change, or just natural variation?
In any event, what harm is done, preparing for either; but particularly, if there's a buck to be made, just doing so?

Fhrosty, gravity is a scientific theory. Are you going to stand under an apple tree while somebody is shaking the tree which has ripe fruit. In other words many hypotheses have been been made and found to be untrue until a theory is established. A theory is neither a guess or a hypothesis but supported by empirical data.

Here on Climateprogress is an offer of $10,000 for anybody to prove that anthropogenic climate change is not happening. The challenge has been made by a physicist. My guess is you would need to show a theory that carbon dioxide created from fossil fuel has no impact to sunlight. Fossil fuels are virtually carbon sequestered into the earth over millions of years, in geological terms I guess we are using it in the blink of an eyelid.

Bugsy says: 'There's a logical fallacy at the end of Don's article. He seems to be saying that there's something wrong with the 'climate change message' because there is still a (now politically powerful) minority that disagree with it.'

I didn't say anything about 'a politically powerful minority'. What I tried to say was that the learned academies, the government, all political parties (the Coalition up to Abbott's appointment as Leader, and his government still says that 'it accepts the science', whatever that means) and the mainstream media (even The Australian said that it accepted the science of global warming and published very little dissenting material until quite recently) have been preaching the same sermon for a long time. Yet the electorate has not bought the take-home message. Why not? My suggestion is that the message was oversold, exaggerated, and devoid of real substance.

I know you didn't mention mention a 'politically powerful minority' Don, they are my words.

The fact remains that the minority was always there, now it is more politically powerful.

I dispute your claim that the electorate 'hasn't bought' the message (nor that the Australian has not published dissenting views until recently). They may have elected a government that has climate sceptics it's core, but there are plenty of reasons to blame that on other factors.

Some considerable organisation goes into challenging the scientific consensus on AGW....usually spear-headed by people who aren't qualified scientifically.

So much so, that now "skeptics" can command significant air-time on MSM, despite having little qualification or expertise on the complexities of the subject.

The principal argument buttressing the "skeptic" movement appears to rest not on the science - but on the suggestion that climate scientists are all involve in a gargantuan scam.

With so many scientists from the various disciplines encompassing climate science agreeing with the AGW conclusion, conspiracy is the only avenue left to challenge the consenus.

I wouldn't expect you to understand Poirot, but it is the science that proves it's a scam.

That & the number of times the promoters have been caught fiddling the books. It is unraveling, & it appears the planet is the worst enemy on the scammers. It is making their models look like child's play, or a fraud, which is what they are of course.

The other indication of course is Obama. He's all for it, which really should give any thinking person a reason to pause. So far he has managed to shift over 5 billion tax payer dollars to his campaign funders in the alternative industries, mostly just before their companies went broke.

Any experience in atmospheric physics or oceanography...perhaps glaciology?

"That & the number of times the promoters have been caught fiddling the books...."

Which times that don't have the word "exonerated" attached at the conclusion?

Bugsy is spot on with his assessment that multi-billionaires with their fingers in the fossil fuel pie are the ones that bankroll the sham that is climate "skepticism".

You will need to convince a physicist that he knows nothing about the characteristics of carbon dioxide.

In a previous post I stated ... climate science informs us that the atmosphere carries more moisture, and when it rains there is the potential for huge downpours. We know thats happened in US regions, China, Britain,Serbia/Bosnia, Austria in late 2013 and 2014. Lately in NE Brazil it went close to creating the need for a soccer match between US and Ghana to be cancelled. Just lately more US States have been hit by anomalous rainfall.

Ho hum, more endless assuming what they haven't proved, appeal to absent authority, appeals to non-existent final wisdom, appeals to misrepresented consensus, reliance on an empire of facile, dodgy and dishonest manipulations of data, more ad hominem sneering, there's just one thing the warmists haven't got - data to back up their claims.

All you need to know to understand the entire debate is this: CO2 emissions have gone up and up and up, and ALL the warmist models predictions of temperature were wrong.

The very idea that the science is "settled"- that without showing reason or evidence, you have reached final unquestionable truth in reliance on authority, is so unscientific, it's laughable. It's the opposite of science.

Just some light relief.

Here in Melbourne our mean temperature for May was the third highest on record (The equal first highest was in 2007) a balmy 2.5 degrees above the average mean for the month plus we had a record number of days over 20 degrees.

So far in June we have yet to experience even one day drop to the mean temperature of 14.1 C.

Of course this is weather.

SteeleRedux,

Climate is also something you can do sfa about. A tax won't solve it but handing out easy living to make people breed more & easier is certainly the main man-made contributor to climate change simply because of too many people using too many polluting practices.
Reduce the population & you will delay the next ice age by a week in 8000 years. That's the reality of it all. No science crap, no nothing just plain reality. Unlike scientists & left wing politicians I'm not making a career out of saying this paid for by taxpayers money.
In fact the climate is not an immediate threat, superstitious religious fruitloops are.

‘morning Don,

“Of shoes and ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings”

Or, Of deniers, flat Earthers, polar bears, conservatives, sea rises, melting glaciers, consensus, polar ice or renewables and things?

We are often told by the ALP, Greens and much of our media just how well the de-carbonization thingy is going in the rest of the world and that we are “falling behind”.

Just as well I think? Why would we want to buy into the unfolding CAGW disaster in Europe?

It’s been a great scam for everyone except the public who have provided every cent of the 800 bn Euro's (US$ 1 trillion) sucked out of their economy since 2004.

So who were the “winners”?

Energy, banking, investors, wealthy land owners, renewable industries, political elites, emission certificate traders, university research renters, the unelected EU commissioners, the UN’s FCCC and the IPCC.

Nice game if you can “get in” on the action but in the end, when it all falls apart and the bill pops through the mailbox, the public again pays for this folly.

individual, you suggested an ice age may be coming our way...you stated "Reduce the population & you will delay the next ice age by a week in 8000 years." In geological terms I gather we are due for an ice age.
While the science is still being established in relation to the impact of the sun on climate; many scientists are suggesting that due to reduction in sunspot activity we should be going through a cooling period at present. BUT,cooling has certainly not been taking place, it is a myth that is perpetrated by deniers.
All around the planet, glaciers are in a state of retreat except for some examples. In relation to Greenland, it has been stated that there could be some thermal activity in the NE being part of the reason for the quick retreat. However, surface melt over the last few years indicates there is more than just thermal activity going on.

I wonder what percentage of people who live in cities as against the percentage living in rural areas believe in anthropogenic climate change.
A few months ago when listening to the radio a farmer who identified himself as a climate change champion talked about the impact on farms through climate change. Farmers are very practical people, if they did not believe something to be true they would not be involved. He stated that keeping a close watch on change in weather patterns over a lengthy period convinced him and some of his colleagues to become climate change champions.

@Ant,

One Just has to love the way true believers simplify things:

<<A few months ago when listening to the radio a farmer who identified himself as a climate change champion talked about the impact on farms through climate change...[his] stated that …a close watch on change in weather patterns over a lengthy period convinced him and some of his colleagues to become climate change champions.>>

DUH! I have not met anyone who does not believe in “climate change”.

The bit that most people don’t get is that climate change is all to do with anthropogenic CO2 and if we stopped emissions of anthropogenic CO2 (for whatever time span you’d like to fiddle in) we would stop climate change –total and utter BS!

ant,
Many people are falling into the academic trap of if it doesn't happen within your time then it isn't happening.
There is a climate change, there are always climate changes, that's how Planet Earth became the way it is. If it were up to the global warming crowd we'd still be crawling on all fours & eat each other because they're dead against evolution.
Climate change is what causes evolution !

SPQR, individual, I think everybody realises that climate change is happening over large time frames. The difference being that the level of human created carbon dioxide is about 130 plus times greater now than it had been millions of years ago. It is possible to differentiate the CO2 derived from fossil fuels compared to other sources. If you don't agree please show the relevant science.

If you feel that we are witnessing normal climate change you might try for the $10,000. But telling a physicist about the characteristics of CO2 would be like telling cricketer Sachin Tendulkar how to bat.

LOL

$10,000 does not demonstrate a high degree of confidence!

$10,000 in todays world is chicken feed. If your physicist friend was really confident he's bet his huge retirement super, his house, his car and even his wife-- then the bet might be worth taking up!

Decades after rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations was blamed on the industrial revolution, scientists discovered geological regions of volcanic activity on the ocean floor that emit – among other things – methane and carbon dioxide.

Even as vast new sources of greenhouse gas emissions were being discovered from within the ocean, the politics of Global Warming to blame “consumers” had already been decided.

In 1977, scientists diving in the submersible Alvin made a stunning discovery on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean: vents pouring hot, mineral-rich fluids from beneath the seafloor. In addition, they also found the vents were inhabited by previously unknown organisms that thrived in the absence of sunlight. These discoveries forever changed our understanding of Earth and life on it.

NEW SCIENTIST:

“The true extent to which the ocean bed is dotted with volcanoes has been revealed by researchers who have counted 201,055 underwater cones. This is over 10 times more than have been found before. The team estimates that in total there could be about 3 million submarine volcanoes, 39,000 of which rise more than 1000 metres over the sea bed.”

Commercial mining of Hydrothermal Vents and more aggressive oil drilling techniques deeper into magma regions adds additional risk that CO2 and/or methane (natural gas) will find its way into the atmosphere.

I'm betting that $10,000 is only a tiny,tiny fraction of this "individuals" assets.And the advertising/publicity alone he is getting from the stunt must be worth at least $10,000.

Graham Y wrote an article about the negative comments on twitter; perhaps he needs to be taking on board the ad hominem comments mainly emanating from his conservative mates here also.

Something that has amused me is that Watts had become involved in a debate about the extent/volume of ice in the Arctic region.
The extent of ice in 2013 was greater than in 2012, Watts argued that it proved that warming is not happening. The but is, that the ice is becoming thinner and the volume of ice is continually decreasing. There are several buoys measuring temperature above and below ice, depth of snow and ice; which equals objective data Watts argues against.

Dear SPQR,

You wrote;

“Betya you get it today!
It's brass monkeys cold in Sydney this morning.”

Nope. In Melbourne it was 16C nearly 2 degrees above average. But I will admit to missing a 12.3C on the 19th so the has been 1 day at or below the mean.

The stats up your way have been pretty impressive too.

“Sydney Observatory Hill had its warmest May on record in 2014, with mean maximum temperatures of 23.2 °C, 3.8 °C above the historical average and 0.5 °C above the previous record, set in 2007.”

Other notable figures include;

19 consecutive days above 22 °C, more than double the previous May record of 9 days (1978, 2007)

Four consecutive days above 25 °C on the 22nd-25th, a late-season record

Only one day below 20 °C, the fewest on record for May (previous record 4 days in 2013)

As to annual mean maximums of the 6 occasions it has reach 23 degrees or over 5 have occurred since 2001.

This year is the fourth warmest start to the year ever recorded after 2006, 2004, and 1998.

There is a positive though. While last month you only had 1 day at or below the monthly average max temperature this month there have been three.

Thank God! It seems we have a cooling planet and there is nothing to worry about.

Dear Steeleredux,

<<Thank God! It seems we have a cooling planet and there is nothing to worry about>>

Ah ha! and there's the rub. Even if someone was able to do a cherry pick similar to yours and come up with a group of colder/coldest results it would still seen as evidence of AGW. Because, AGW theology maintains that it will both get hotter and colder --and wetter and dryier

It's hard to prevail in those heads we win and tails you lose games. Which makes me wonder why Ant's physicist friend was sooooo measly and timid with his bet. What is the IPCC's level of certainiy again 97...98%? I mean, if you had that level of certainty that red 13 would come up trumps next spin of the wheel at the casino wouldnt you bet your house and car on it?

We should all be very grateful that Al Gore has come to Australia to “endorse” the abolition of our CAGW response.

We have now joined the rest of the world in rejecting both the “science” and the politics of CAGW.

There are still many true believers who are left with nothing left to talk about except the self indoctrinated “science” they hungrily swallowed.

The “science” was the basis for policy, the “science” failed so the policy failed. Now the warmers are left with nothing to debate except more of their failed “science”? On and on and on and on!

Curious isn’t it?

SDQR, what is your explanation for the volume of ice in the Arctic region, where volume has been decreasing over decades? What would be causing the melt, SDQR?
A quote from the Chief Scientist Julia Slingo (April 2013) of the UK Met Office: "The Arctic is intimately linked with the North Atlantic and we know there are links, for example, in the ocean temperatures that run down the west coast of Greenland. They are very warm at the moment. Exceptionally warm!"

http://econnexus.org/nasa-chasing-calving-ice-in-western-greenland/

A few times I have written about thermokarst lakes and thermokarst failure but there has been no comment debunking this phenomena.
There are no arguments about permafrost melt; it is happening. Climate change deniers argue against how temperature is measured; with permafrost melt it is an illustration of temperatures going up.

Hi Ant,

<<SDQR >> twice you spelt my name wrong. Does that count as abuse?

Unlike most believers in AGW I don’t pretend to know all the answers. But I can pick a dud sales pitch when I see one…and both you and citizen Steele have been giving us some mightily dubious pitches. And the fact that you both seem to hail from the extreme left in politics makes me very suspicious of any product you are eager to sell us on –particularly Steele, he tried to sell some read duds in the past --luckily my quality control team pick-up on it before we bought the goods.

SPQR, My apologies for spelling your name wrong. Science is not a matter of politics even though those with a conservative view want to view it in such a way.
When I provide examples it is possible to find the details on the net.
For instance in relation to the Gangotri glacier, that information came from a film clip titled On Thin Ice, another good source of information is a series of film clips titled Thin Ice. Google them if you do not believe me. I chose the Gangotri glacier on the basis that it provides water for millions of people in India.
It amuses me that you suggest a product is being sold to you.

Here is a very short clip about thermokarst failure:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CVKsZhrsAec

It occurs due to permafrost melting.

In other posts I have written about extreme rainfall events that have occurred around the globe. There have been two huge downpours which have almost stopped soccer matches the US was to play in Brazil; the first against Ghana, and the second against Germany.

Dear Spindoc and SPQR,

You two are pretty fascinating types. Both of you made much of the Russian ship with the climate scientists stuck in the ice near Antarctica touting it as proof the planet wasn't warming. Yet we don't have extensive and substantial records of the sea ice extent in that part of the world.

We do however have well over 100 years of complete daily temperature readings for both of the capital cities I mentioned.

Pointing out a record May in Sydney is not 'cherry picking' but a rigid on the ground statistic that fits with the accepted view that the warming of the planet would appear to be impacting on temperatures in Australia just as they are in most of the land based world today. By itself it is nothing but along with other high results in the 95th percentile range, mostly occurring in the last 20 years, it is in line with climate change predictions.

I am really quite curious about whether either of you at any stage pause and think 'I may well have got this wrong'? Or are you that tied up with the politics of the issue that to do so would cause irreparable damage? Is constantly referring to this as left/right issue a denial mechanism for you both?

What data set would it take for either of you to accept AGW as a fact?

Steele,
<<You … Both of you made much of the Russian ship with the climate scientists stuck in the ice near Antarctica >>
Bruhahahaahahaahahahaaaaaaaaahhahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahhaahaha. Stop it Steele –stop it, don’t remind me of that –it was sooooo funny. I am seriously thinking of writing it up and selling the rights to Monty Python.

And I didn't present it as evidence that AGW was false –it was a classic catch yourself out situation.

We had all these "experts” making pronouncements about the ice being slush and receding-- and next minute it is “Help! we are stuck in an ice foe”. Actually it might be a better skit for The Goons I could see Neddie Seagoon clutching the mast with one hand half way up, and the other holding binoculars yelling to Eccles and Minnie below that there are no rescue ships in sight yet (and Little Jim yelling someone’s fallen into the water--or maybe Little Jim could replace it with "we're stuck in the ice")

Ant,
Apologies. I will check your links and come back to you--blame Steele for distracting me

one under god, I don't think there are too many Indians living in Antarctica, the Gangotri glacier is in the Himalayas which feeds the Ganges River. The film clip shows how there are several spots marked displaying the glacier receding.
Your reference, one under god, says that 95% of glaciers are retreating in the High Asia area. Your reference is dated 2009; whereas, later references say retreat has increased since.

one under god, the literature I have read, including the reference you gave, discuss tectonic movement, which is different to volcanic action. Your reference is a little older than the ones I have provided. Interesting the reference you gave acknowledges climate change ..."Impact of Climate Change" on page 6.

You raised the matter of methane; live stock releasing methane is not a problem. The real problem is the breakdown of permafrost, glacial ice, and clathrates of methane. Prior to the Industrial Revolution methane was measured at around 700 ppb it is now getting up to 1,900 ppb.

one under god, thanks for your cheery message "SEE YA ANT DROP DED." In relation to the Gangotri glacier, it had hardly been receding; but since 2009 it has been receding at a greater rate. You are right that receding will not impact for some time; but people certainly are expressing concern about it at present; local people.

This is some of the blurb that goes with the film On Thin Ice "Seventy-five percent of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers, but scientists predict climate change will cause some of the world's largest glaciers to completely melt by 2030. What effect will this have on our daily lives, especially our water and food supply? With global warming falling low on a national list of American concerns, it's time to take a deeper look at what could be a global calamity in the making.

This week, David Brancaccio and environmentalist Conrad Anker—one of the world's leading high altitude climbers—trek to the Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayan Mountains, the source of the Ganges River, to witness the great melt and its dire consequences first-hand. The two also visit Montana's Glacier National Park to see the striking effects of global warming closer to home and learn how melting glaciers across the world can have a direct impact on food prices in the U.S."

Dear Shadow Minister,

The annual average maximum temperature reading for Sydney has only slipped below the average figure of 21.7 degrees Celsius once in the last 40 years. To me my friend that is a changing climate.

What is it to you? A fluke?

Steele, have you forgotten already that you were unable to reference any science to show any measurable effect of human emissions on climate?

You have taken up blatant fraud backing again. You are baselessly asserting that global warming is caused by human emissions. You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting this disgraceful fraud.

Ant,

Re Greenland/thermokarst lakes.

I did a bit of googling --and things don’t seem as simple as your link would have us believe. Your link paints a picture of unprecedented runaway meltdown. But there is evidence of a) refreezing and/or b) a long-established cyclical pattern at play:

<<...the researchers ...were able to construct a continuous history going back 120 years. By studying the debris and silt deposited in the fjord, estimations can be made about the rate of iceberg calving, and hence ice loss from the flowing ice of the glacier...the researchers were able to create a history of ice loss for Helheim [Glacier]...Two pronounced calving maxima are observed: one during the past 10 years, the other in the late 1930s/early 1940s. The long-term calving increase is probably due to a shift from the Little Ice Age conditions, which were characterized by low air temperatures and strong polar-water influence..."Our analysis indicates that the recent increase in calving activity observed at Helheim Glacier is not unique but that a similarly large event occurred in the late 1930s/early 1940s. These two episodes occurred at times when the temperature of the Atlantic-water source was high (positive/warm Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation phase) and the polar-water export was at a record low (even if fluctuating)."..."“Our study provides evidence that Helheim Glacier responds to changes in [natural] atmosphere–ocean variability on timescales as short as a few years.”" [Camilla S. Andresen, Fiammetta Straneo, Mads Hvid Ribergaard, Anders A. Bjørk, Thorbjørn J. Andersen, Antoon Kuijpers, Niels Nørgaard-Pedersen, Kurt H. Kjær, Frands Schjøth, Kaarina Weckström, Andreas P. Ahlstrøm 2012: Nature Geoscience]>>

And, on the other side of the world -- there is evidence of an increase in ice coverage & cooling:

<<NASA's satellites have now been measuring global temperatures for a full 35 years (420 months through November 2013), including the Antarctic…As can be seen, there has been a cooling trend - granted, a very tiny -0.04°C/century, but it remains far removed from the IPCC's unicorn science of "amplified" and dangerous polar warming.And not only has it not warmed, the Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record amount...>>

SPQR

According to BOM
http://www.bom.gov.au/state-of-the-climate/?ref=marketing
Under the heading
Global atmosphere and cryosphere

“Ice-mass loss from Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets has accelerated. The mean estimated rate of ice loss from the Antarctic ice sheet has increased nearly five-fold from an estimated mean of 30 gigatonnes per year (Gt/yr) for the period from 1992 to 2001, to 147 Gt/yr for the period 2002 to 2011. The rate of ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet has increased from 34 to 215 Gt/yr over the same period.”

I have no doubt it has been pointed out before but the fact that seasonal sea ice area has increased slightly around Antarctica is entirely consistent with an influx of fresh water which freezes at a higher temperature than salt water, and does not for one moment negate the fact that land ice is being lost at an accelerating rate.

What is it with all the ice melt at Antartica, Antartica is actually getting bigger, because of the ice melt and refreezing as sea ice.

That is giving cool breezes more surface area to cool off even more before being sent to AU as a blizzard.

Climate change Crap is for real. How else is all this ice melting, the sea temp is getting hotter.

Wild weather all around the world crap.

Just like our fearless leader crap it takes Obama to shake his timbers.

Just a silly question--if this is true (and I'm not jumping either way)

Would NOT it also lead to similar *increases* around Greenland --and why are we not seeing it mirrored there?

SPQR, the Jakobshavn glacier in Greenland has been reported by NASA as retreating at a record speed. The glacier is 22 kilometers wide and stands 800+ meters high.
There is even acknowledgement in a Greenland tourist brochure about the amount of receding of Jakobshavn glacier. In relation to the

http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/lookingatearth/jakobshavn.html

http://www.digitaljournal.com/news/environment/greenland-s-jakobshavn-glacier-retreating-at-record-speeds/article/369185

I had a look at the reference you provided, it being an abstract; and discussed variability. It also discusses how water is undermining the glacier where it meets the sea, its a pity your reference is behind a paywall.
Here is a reference directed towards tourists wishing to visit Greenland:

http://www.greenland.com/en/about-greenland/natur-klima/klimaaendringer.aspx
Derived from: http://www.greenland.com/en/ which says at top left "The Official Tourism Site of Greenland"
Over the last few years it has been noticed that the amount of melt water on top of the Greenland ice sheet has been increasing in extent until now it covers 100% of the ice sheet in a film for a short period.

SPQR, you may or may not have watched the clip I provided in relation to thermocast failure, my references relate to Alaska.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CVKsZhrsAec

The Richardson Highway in Alaska was blocked through a landslide, created through permafrost melting; that is, thermokarst failure.

http://epic.awi.de/31461/1/Morgenstern2012Dissertation.pdf

In neighbouring Siberia they also have thermokarst lakes.

Probably something to do with ocean currents. Surface area of ice will effect temps; and play a role in weather patterns.

The ice melt is increasing, America is copping the fallout from Greenland, but don,t tell ARJAY he has his own ideas of what is causing Americas weather.

By the time all the ice has melted, the expected sea level rise is expected to be six meters.

Just a reminder of the dishonesty of participants in the AGW fraud, Steele:
“Goddard shows how, in recent years, NOAA’s US Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) has been “adjusting” its record by replacing real temperatures with data “fabricated” by computer models. The effect of this has been to downgrade earlier temperatures and to exaggerate those from recent decades, to give the impression that the Earth has been warming up much more than is justified by the actual data. In several posts headed “Data tampering at USHCN/GISS”, Goddard compares the currently published temperature graphs with those based only on temperatures measured at the time. These show that the US has actually been cooling since the Thirties, the hottest decade on record; whereas the latest graph, nearly half of it based on “fabricated” data, shows it to have been warming at a rate equivalent to more than 3 degrees centigrade per century.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/10916086/The-scandal-of-fiddled-global-warming-data.html

You are now part of a blatant fraud, Steele. An 80 year cooling trend in the US has been turned into a warming trend, by alteration of data.
A typical example of the fabrication of global warming.

The simple answer to your question is sea currents alter the situation; warmer sea currents melt the ice.

People who live in an area generally have some feeling for whats going on, a short clip:
http://thiniceclimate.org/blog/details/2687/life-in-the-arctic-sami-view

I was talking with a mate yesterday, he stated if there was a 1 in 3 chance of a plane coming to grief we would not put our children onboard.
Even if the chance was 1 in a 100 we would not place our children on board. He stated that the actual chance of a plane accident is around 1 in 10,000,000.
He commented that we have a 1 in 3 chance of climate change doing huge damage. I didn't ask him how he came to the figure of 1 in 3. We insure our houses where the chance of it being burnt down is far less than 1 in 100. Yet, we take great chances with climate change.

Dear Tinkerbell,

I love it when guys like you post stuff from Steven Goddard. You did realise of course there is no real person called Steven Goddard running an anti-AGW blog. It is actually someone else entirely.

The last time this rather shadowy figure had a real crack at NASA figures was in 2008 when The Register, again in the UK, published an article claiming the Arctic ice melt was not as severe as that proclaimed by NASA.

“data sources show Arctic ice having made a nice recovery this summer. NASA Marshall Space Flight Center data shows 2008 ice nearly identical to 2002, 2005 and 2006. Maps of Arctic ice extent are readily available from several sources, including the University of Illinois, which keeps a daily archive for the last 30 years. A comparison of these maps (derived from NSIDC data) below shows that Arctic ice extent was 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on the August 12, 2007.”

“The Arctic did not experience the meltdowns forecast by NSIDC and the Norwegian Polar Year Secretariat. It didn't even come close. Additionally, some current graphs and press releases from NSIDC seem less than conservative. There appears to be a consistent pattern of overstatement related to Arctic ice loss.”

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/15/goddard_arctic_ice_mystery/

Although this was picked up by other news agencies it was of course complete bunkum. If you go to the above link you will find this correction;

“Walt Meier, research scientist at the NSIDC, has contacted us disputing the validity of Steven Goddard's methodology, and of his use of University of Illinois data to question the NSIDC's charts. We accept that these two data sets are not directly comparable, and that the University of Illinois data does not provide support for Goddard's charge that the NSIDC data is incorrect.”

After a week of getting roasted Steve Goddard aka Tony Heller finally conceded;

"it is clear that the NSIDC graph is correct, and that 2008 Arctic ice is barely 10% above last year - just as NSIDC had stated."

Which honest broker do you have for us next?

Steele, Steven Goddard was misled by incorrect maps of UI, in relation to ice cover. He acknowledged this when it was drawn to his attention.
What does that have to do with manipulation of data by NOAA,to show non existent warming. You are a master of irrelevance.
You should at least acknowledge that your fraud-backing is not supported by any science demonstrating any measurable effect of human emissions on climate.
You would then demonstrate a standard of personal honesty approaching the Steven Goddard standard.

Dear Leo,

You have blindly rejected all the science laid in front of you, which is your right, but you have been asked on innumerable occasions what data set would it take to demonstrate to you any measurable effect of human emissions on climate and you have been unable to do so.

I don't think you know yourself.

Your limited understanding of the issue has been there for all to see but you must have some understanding of what makes you tick. Why do you think you have allowed your political stance to completely and utterly befuddle you to such a degree that you are so determinately defensive and recalcitrant about this topic?

My instinct is that you are afflicted by fear. One of the universal human mechanisms of coping with fear is to deny the problem exists. It is indeed a hugely intimidating threat to ours and other species on this planet. You have every right to feel powerless and overwhelmed. The foxhole into which you have bunkered yourself is feeling safe and secure. You have chosen not to hear the approaching rattle of tank tread instead you rock back and forth calling those warning you of the impending danger 'fraudsters'.

Well it is indeed an uncertain future made immeasurably more so by the inaction of various governments around the world. You have not made peace with this threat despite feeling that by electing a man who thinks climate change is crap it would go away. It is still out there and getting bigger rather than smaller by the day.

It is now your choice, are you going to remain cowering and be remembered by your grandchildren as such or are you going to join us at the parapet and do what we can to change this government's path?

Steele, I take your pointless drivel as another evasion of facing the fact that there is no science to show any measurable effect of human emissions on climate.
Here us what a top scientist says” Given that carbon dioxide is indeed a greenhouse gas (albeit a mild and diminishingly
effective one at currently increasing levels of atmospheric concentration), and that some
human-caused emissions accrue in the atmosphere, the question of dangerous warming was a good one to raise back in the late 1980s. Since then, with the formation of the IPCC, and a parallel huge expansion of research and consultancy money into
climate studies, energy studies and climate policy, an intensive effort has been made to
identify and measure the human signature in the global temperature record at a cost that probably exceeds $100 billion. And, as Kevin Rudd might put it, “You know what? No such signature has been able to be isolated and measured.”
That, of course, doesn’t mean that humans have no effect on global temperature, because we know that carbon dioxide is a mild greenhouse gas, and we can also measure the local temperature effects of human activity, which are both warming (from the urban heat island
effect) and cooling (due to other land-use change, including irrigation). Sum these effects all over the world and obviously there must be a global signal; that we can’t identify and measure it indicates that the signal is so small that it is lost in the noise of natural climate variation.
Twenty-five years on, therefore, we have answered the question, “Are human carbon dioxide emissions causing dangerous global warming”, and the answer is “No”; but strangely that answer causes environmental activists and their supporters, including apparently many scientists, to develop the disease known as deaf ear."

So the required science will identify and measure the human effect on climate. The peer reviewed study of Mclean et al 2009 identified the natural cause of global warming, leaving little room for the alleged effect of human emissions, but you are the fraud backer, so you find the science which supports the fraud, and vindicate your otherwise untenable situation.
You assert that I have “rejected all the science laid in front of you”. What science is that, Steele? You really do talk nonsense. Your next idiocy is “you are afflicted by fear”. What do I fear. I know it is fraudulent nonsense. If you believe it, then the fear is yours, and in your delusional state you project it on to me, along with “completely and utterly befuddle you to such a degree that you are so determinately defensive and recalcitrant about this topic?”. A further self description is” I don't think you know yourself”.

You have now made such a fool of yourself again, that you have no doubt induced a craving for another delusion of victory. You are a complicated mess, Steele, and I am not available for your pathetic self projection.

Here’s a little something for those who might think that the scientific orthodoxy is beyond reproach:

“Gravitational lensing isn’t about the gravitational field bending space-time, …it’s about the gravitational field affecting plasma density along the gradient; the varying plasma density in turn affects the path light takes. The scientists who support [a different proposition] are either unaware of this phenomenon or they do not want you to know about this, this is bad news for them””

The last part bears repeating:
“ The scientists who support [a different proposition] are either unaware of this phenomenon or they do not want you to know about this , this is bad news for them”

Who wrote that ?
One of those dastardly climate deniers –NO!
Dr Edward Dowdye Jr (“a physicist and laser optics engineer ex- NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre …and a member of The American Physics Society).

And, you will find a similar –but separate – indictment in "The Trouble with Physics" by Lee Smolin (a theoretical physicist).

And if that wasn’t sufficent reason to carefully audit anything that cites a higher authority as final proof --look at AGW's most vocal proponents –Steelerdux!

To mangle Woody Allen's famous quip : “I'd never join a [cause] that would allow a person like [Steeleredux] to become [its lead apostle].”

SPQR, I had a look at information in relation to Dr Edward Dowdye Jr, and it does appear as though he has given the theory of Relativity a nudge.

On a regular basis I view a site that reviews whats occurring in the Arctic Circle. Somebody on the site commented there must have been a glitch in the instrumentation as a significant amount of ice had disappeared in Hudson Bay. Professor Lesack has mentioned ice disappearing in Hudson Bay in a paper released earlier this year.

A comment from the site I visit:
"Temperatures around Hudson Bay are extreem also. The 33.4 C at Fort Severn might seem to be a glitch in the sensor if it wasn't for the 33.1 recorded at Peawanuck and the 32.6 from Moosonee At James Bay. For our American friends the above temperatures are all in excess of 90 F, not what is expected from polar bear country.

At Churchill:
2014 - 6/28 30.7 C
2013 - 6/23 27.9 C
2012 - 6/25 25.0 C "

These would be surface temperatures and it is interesting as on the same site there is debate about the impact of temperature between surface temperature and temperature measured by satellite taken well above earth. There does not seem to be any consensus on the relationship between surface and satellite temperatures; however, there is much discussion about warm ocean currents, the state of the atmosphere. and incoming highs and lows. We will know in September just how much ice is lost in the Arctic Circle; however, one thing is very clear, the extent and volume will not be increasing significantly.

In relation to Antarctica, sea ice does seem to be increasing; but,there are some huge glaciers that are shedding huge volumes of ice, also. So, it does not automatically indicate that what is happening at the Polar extremes is different.

Tut tut Ant you should know better. A person touting a dismantling of the theory of relativity? Anybody who these characters put up as authorities are usually bonkers, charlatans or in the employ of the fossil fuel industry. But hell, they are the reason I keep coming back here.

Dear SPQR,

Once again you have made my day. The bloke is a religious nutter of the first order. Here is Dr Edward Dowdye Jr's web site http://scienceinthebible.net/

“the presence of advance wisdom and science in the bible - a testimony of a Ph.D. Physicist”

His objective;

“Because of the vast intimidations, the complexities of the modern day sciences and the aggressive onslaught of the non-believers against believers, it is sometime necessary to tool up with the mental blocks, using our own God given talents and minds in defense of the faith. The objective is to help the teaching of those who are challenged by the vast waves of non-sense, sloppy sciences and the attacks against people of faith.”

“The research compiled in this website is based solely on sound fundamentals and solid foundations of the Modern Sciences using Modern Scientific Methods with references to the 66 Books of the Holy Bible.”

His site is a wonder to read.

In it you will find many other scientific facts. For instance SPQR did you know “100 years before the flood at Noah's 500th Birthday the human population on Earth was as great or even greater than today?”

Okay we have had Goddard from Leo now Dowdye from you, can someone make it a trifecta? But please do it tomorrow, I've had my laugh for the day.

http://arctic-news.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/high-temperatures-in-the-arctic.html#comment-form

If you type Lance Lesack in the top left hand corner of the arctic-news site you can access information about his study of the McKenzie river which showed how temperatures were increasing from 1958 onwards

SteeleRedux, I had a further search in relation to Dr Edward Dowdye Jr's, I had read that he had peer reviewed articles published in Journals, "as well as a number of other important papers published in some renown refereed journals."
http://www.extinctionshift.com/
As far as his religion is concerned; I wasn't too concerned, as the matter he was commenting on wasn't climate change; his area of expertise is probably not impacted by religion. Fundamental Religious views do impact on views on climate change; John Howard has talked about having "faith" that anthropogenic climate change does not exist. The problem with that view is that "faith" is not held up by appropriate data.

The huge irony here -- which seems to have escaped some-- is that REAL science is about whether specific theories answer the facts …not whether their proposers other views or lifestyle is orthodox.

If you applied Steele’s and Poriot's politically tainted metric to everyone it would disqualify Newton and many of other great thinkers.
{and, in case Poriot and Steele dont know who Newton was -- as seems likely --here's a link for them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton's_occult_studies)

As champions of science, Poriot would make an unbeatable Abigail Williams and Steele an unsurpassable Thomas Putnam …they would be naaaaaaaaaaaaaaturals!

OUG,

"SORRY MATE/I MISSED..THAT/WHERE DID..HE SAY/THAT?"

How about here...

"“Gravitational lensing isn’t about the gravitational field bending space-time, …it’s about the gravitational field affecting plasma density along the gradient; the varying plasma density in turn affects the path light takes. The scientists who support [a different proposition] are either unaware of this phenomenon or they do not want you to know about this, this is bad news for them”"

That's why we have peer review...so that people who propose things like:

""....The scientists who support [a different proposition] are either unaware of this phenomenon or they do not want you to know about this, this is bad news for them”"

...are further examined, weeded out or confirmed in their ideas.

This is a scientist who attempts to meld modern scientific practice with the 66 books of the Bible.

......

SPQR,

Regarding Newton, no-one is denigrating his religious beliefs or suggesting that because he held them, he couldn't think scientifically.

But we are talking of a different time here - a different Zeitgeist.

Bertrand Russel said:

"The immense majority of intellectually eminent men disbelieve in Christian religion, but they conceal the fact in public, because they are afraid of losing their incomes."

I'm not saying that applies to a man like Newton. I am saying that as science and the centuries have progressed, it's now much harder to find a scientist who would reference the 66 books of the Holy Bible to enhance scientific argument.

Scientists deal in empirical evidence - and citing things like a 6.000-odd year-old Earth, a 500 year-old Noah, virgin births and bodily ascension to Heaven in the sky, etc are incompatible with scientific method and practice.

Dear SPQR,

Just to follow on from Poirot's post.

From the site you posted;

“After purchasing and studying Newton's alchemical works in 1942, economist John Maynard Keynes, for example, opined that "Newton was not the first of the age of reason, he was the last of the magicians". In the Early Modern Period of Newton's lifetime, the educated embraced a world view different from that of later centuries. Distinctions between science, superstition, and pseudoscience were still being formulated, and a devoutly Christian Biblical perspective permeated Western culture.”

Mate, Newton was doing his thing in a vastly different time, over 300 bloody years ago. Your bloke is operating in a period where 'distinctions between science, superstition, and pseudoscience have been pretty well thoroughly formulated'. The chap is loopy. You were foolish to have posted him in the first place but you are compounding that foolishness by doubling down. Rather some lame-arsed response you need to cut him loose now, take your medicine like a man and move on.

Dear ant,

I have no doubt that the Arctic sea ice will reach near record lows this season. Of course there are many concerns with the implications of this including permafrost melting. Thankfully the record Antarctic Ice extant will be balancing the albedo factor at least. In one way it is fascinating seeing real time human induced geological changes occurring before our eyes but the fears I have for my children and their futures is very sobering.

Dear SPQR,

So when shown to have been so obviously in error your default position, which sadly reflects that of many of the conservative posters on this forum, is to attack those who point out your transgression and defend to the hilt the indefensible.

Dowdye was not a NASA physicist but rather an electrical engineer. From his own website;

“Dr. Dowdye is an electrical engineer (retired) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.”
http://www.extinctionshift.com/author.htm

Later he was a graduate student at Howard University under Professor Misra and got his doctorate in 2000;
“(Graduate Student: Physics). Ph.D. Dissertation: "FT-IR Spectroscopic Assessment of Gas-Phase Absorption of Atmospheric Molecular Species at Low Concentrations and Their Associated Adsorption Effects on Various Material Surfaces" (Graduated Spring 2000).”
http://www.physics1.howard.edu/~pmisra/spectroscopy/personnel.htm

More from his site;

“Dr. Dowdye is an independent researcher and is Founder of Pure Classical Physics Research where he focuses in depth on the Truth and the Profound Fundamentals and Pure Laws of Nature, all first set in motion by the Devine Creator, the Almighty Lord God.”

Pure Classical Physics Research? Try finding that baby on the web.

Global warming?

“2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

"A NASA study confirms the Earth constantly receives more energy from the sun than it reflects back into space. A massive snow storm would require a corresponding quantity of solar energy for the vaporization of its water. The more massive the snow is, the greater the quantity of solar energy required for the vaporization of its water. Solar Energy in the form of Radiant Heat vaporizes the Waters of the Earth from which the Snow is produced by God's Nature”

Come on mate put this one to bed. At least you get to walk away with a modicum of credibility. Do so and I promise never to mention this again.

“ seeing real time human induced geological changes occurring before our eyes but the fears I have for my children and their futures is very sobering.”. Steele, that is loopy. You cling to your faith in AGW, despite the lack of anyscience to support it. You are not as rational as Dowdye, and have the gall to criticize him for his faith, which is a more wholesome faith than yours.Your faith is based on lies, and fraud.
Your attempt to smear Goddard does not detract from his factual report of the tampering by NOAA with the temperature record. Typical of the fraud-backer technique, when there was nothing you could do about the facts, you made an attempt to smear the messenger. What a loser you are, Steele.

Leo, why is the Gulf Stream warming?
Globally surface temperatures have been increasing.
Wildfires in Siberia, months before what had been seen to be the normal fire season, are but some examples of temperature/climate changing.
In an earlier note I gave a reference showing the impact of light on CO2.

It is very interesting that the US is about to launch a satellite to measure CO2 around the globe. A very expensive enterprise for what you term fraud, Leo. Especially, when they had previously tried to launch a similar satellite that crashed when being launched.

After writing the last note, I discovered this site which explains the wildfires in Siberia to a greater extent than other references found.

http://robertscribbler.wordpress.com/

A quote from above site:

"By May, more than a million acres had burned, all well before the typical peak of fire season in July and early August. But that was mere prelude to peak fire season, which we are starting to enter now."

I do not know, ant, what is warming the Gulf Stream, but it is not global warming, because that stopped 17 years ago. As we know, the global warming that we have experienced cannot be shown to be caused by human emissions, despite the considerable failed efforts to show that it is human caused:
‘The US federal government has spent 80 billion US dollars on climate research on the assumption that human caused rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a problem. Despite this, no one has yet found even a shred of objective scientific evidence that humans are causing damaging global climate change.
The so called evidence emanates from a vociferous group in the scientific community who, for a variety of reasons, are set on promoting predetermined conclusions not supported by empirical data or real-world observations. The science they rely on is all about the number of scientists who agree with them and claims of consensus to suppress quality control in climate research. “Taking a vote is a risky way to discover scientific truth”

“ dumbness never ends around here”. Yes, Poirot, but in your case, is it dumbness, or dishonesty?

You know it has been far hotter in the past. than it is today, with the small amount of warming, which occurred coming out of a mini ice age. What do you mean by “record levels”? Is that a stupid statement, or a dishonest one? Only you can tell us.

Warmists: if you don't care that what you're saying is fallacious, why do you bother discussing it?

Why do you care whether other people believe what you believe?

But if you do care that what you're saying is fallacious, why do you just keep endlessly repeating fallacies?

I get tired of pointing out the same factual errors, the same misrepresentations, the same circularities, the same non sequiturs, the same ad hominem, the same reversed onus of proof, the same redefinition of "science" to mean appeal to absent authority; the same evasion of questions that prove you categorically wrong; over and over again.

I mean for example these arguments about such and such's particular qualifications or personality, are just too stupid for words, because even if it were this or that, it wouldn't settle the issue about the DATA and the METHODOLOGY you fools. It would still only amount to an appeal to authority. How can you be so thick you don't understand that even after it's repeatedly explained to you? Honestly, your intellectual method is back in the Dark Ages.

What's the point of pointing out your process of reasoning is fallacious if you're just going to repeat all the fallacies that you shouldn't have made in the first place?

All it means is that you've lost the argument, and you're either too dumb or to dishonest to admit it. End of story. You lost. Unable to prove argument except by assuming it's true = you lost. Too dumb.

Never mind advanced climatology, you guys need to understand the basic requirements of logical thought.

The Arctic, Leo is a driver of climate; over the winter time temperatures were significantly higher in Alaska and Scandinavian countries. In one of my notes I included a film clip about how climate is impacting on people in Finland. A section of the short film was devoted to reindeer farming. The comment was made that the snow was becoming soft and instead of being able to walk over crisp snow reindeer were sinking into it and the view was that reindeer farming might not be possible in the future.
Here is the clip again:

http://thiniceclimate.org/blog/details/2687/life-in-the-arctic-sami-view

The reference I gave in relation to Siberia shows that they have had significant wild fires there in April 2014. The April 2014 fires left smoke plumes able to be seen from satellites, the fires had fronts ranging from 3 to 34 miles.

Please provide support for the myth that you are trying to maintain about temperatures, the trend has been of them increasing.
Temperature is not only reflected in what a thermometer says but also in what is happening in the environment. Permafrost melting equals warmth. Over the last days there have been temperatures above 24C lately in some Canadian towns which is a temperature that is rarely passed. These Canadian towns are an indication of the trend Professor Lesack has written about when discussing the McKenzie River. Professor Lesack tracked temperature ranges from 1958 through till almost the present. his paper was published earlier this year.

Jardine K. Jardine, where is your evidence that anthropogenic climate change is not happening? In many of the notes I have written I have provided many examples of what is actually happening in an empirical sense. When I first became interested in climate change, I came across methane being vented. In earlier writings about methane it was being vented in ponds, a later paper was discussing methane being vented in a diametre of a kilometer; today I found it is being vented in a diameter of 150 kilometers off Siberia. It is warmth that is melting permafrost and the shallows off the Siberian Coast.

Global warming is not causing droughts and wildfires, ant, so you are making baseless assertions again
“Historically, the United States was struck by severe fires even before carbon dioxide reached current levels. In fact, the two largest fires in American history, according to the Weather Underground occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
A Wisconsin fire in 1871, “the single worst wild fire in U.S. history,” burned almost 3.8 million acres and killed 1,500 people. The second-worst was a 1910 fire in Idaho and Montana that killed 87 people and destroyed 3 million acres.
In fact, geological records bolster the evidence that earlier fires were more frequent. A 2009 analysis by R.M. Beaty and A.H. Taylor examined charcoal records in northern California to study wildfires over thousands of years. They found that “current fire episode frequency is at one of its lowest points in at least the last 14,000 years.”
Similar evidence challenged the connection between climate change and droughts.
This information is not surprising, . The San Jose Mercury News reported in January that “studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence” have revealed “severe megadroughts [that] make the Dust Bowl of the 1930s look tame.” In fact, Scott Stine, an environmental studies professor at California State University, East Bay, studied tree ring data and found that while 2013 was a very dry year, this past century “has been among the wettest of the last 7,000 years.”
. A group of researchers led by J.A. Kleppe found in 2011 that “dry conditions have occurred regularly, in cyclical fashion, ‘every 650-1150 years,” suggesting “there is nothing unusual, unnatural, or unprecedented about the nature of [Californian] drought.”

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/sean-long/2014/06/05/networks-blame-wildfires-droughts-climate-change-despite-fact-they-ve-dec

You give no consideration to the facts or science before you make your assertions. You have no basis on which to expect evidence to refute your assertions. They are refuted by showing that they are without foundation, and contrary to science, like your assertion of AGW.
Where is the science to show that human emissions have any measurable effect on climate?

Leo, you provide a political reference plus Monckton as supporting what you say.
In relation to wildfires/bushfires climate change creates accentuated conditions for these to occur. Australia is a country where bushfires are a major matter is well known. Australian firies as do their Californian colleagues tell us that climate change is having a further impact on the nature of bushfires. Climate change intensifies bushfire/wildfire conditions. In January 2014, there were two wildfires in heathland in Norway, their winter.
The wildfires are normally experienced in Siberia beginning from about now till August. Over the years the fire season has been happening earlier and earlier.
Nobody denies Leo the major weather conditions in the past. Climate change scientists tell us that these kind of events will happen on a more regular basis.
A quote from a previous reference:

"This winter, temperatures throughout large swaths of this typically frigid land of tundra and boreal forest ranged between 5 and 7 degrees Celsius above average." (Siberia)
Temperatures have been higher than usual in The Arctic region generally over the last winter. There has been a warming trend happening over decades.

Investigate what the map means Leo. You claim that climate change is a fraud so should easily be able to interpret the map shown in the above site. Hint the temperatures shown are a real worry.

Monckton is not a scientist Leo, he is a very good communicator; but, the information he provides is not reliable.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXS8l3_Yhh0

The film is not a personal attack on him but debunks the points that he makes.

Science is a very rational empirical based way of finding how things work; your newsbusters reference presents a politically conservative viewpoint. Its about as reliable as Red Flag as a source, an extreme left wing group. Science is neither left wing nor right wing in the information provided.

Leo you keep demanding definitive proof that human activities are affecting the climate.

This is on a par with demanding proof that chemistry or mathematics is correct. We know they are substantial correct simply because they work. Climate science is no different. The weather forecast is usually correct for the next day and often is right several days out. A weather forecast uses the same principles to establish surface temperatures as do the scientists who warn us about the consequences of adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

The only way it is possible to provide the proof you seek is to compare identical earths, one with added GHGs and one without, the best we can do is to look at the past history of the earth, which strongly suggests that the level of GHGs particularly CO2 influence surface temperatures.

It is clear that global surface temperatures have risen since the 1970s the question is why? so far the only satisfactory explanation is some sort of change to the atmosphere or oceans. The only global change we know of is the addition of GHGs to the atmosphere which also is the result predicted by climate science.

Sad to say the only fraud being committed is by those who seek to deliberately mislead people, because it is a huge financial risk to their business interests.

Leo, you say "As to cessation of global warming, the Satellite temperature record shows no warming for 17 years 6 months as at February 2014."

How does this reference fit in with what you say:

http://www.usnews.com/news/science/news/articles/2014/06/23/heat-repeat-globe-breaks-may-temperature-record

Quote: "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Monday said May's average temperature on Earth of 59.93 degrees Fahrenheit (15.54 degrees Celsius) beat the old record set four years ago. In April, the globe tied the 2010 record for that month. Records go back to 1880." Its from Associated Press, just reporting facts.
There are many more newspaper reports that say much the same thing.

You have clarified your problem, warmair. You have great gaps in your education. An educated person has seen the proofs of chemistry and mathematics during their schooling. You somehow missed this, which explains your confused state now. You believe that scientific proof is not necessary for scientific assertions. You are the generic fraud-backer. When asked for proof of your baseless assertions, you come up with this ridiculous analogy, of no validity whatsoever. What is not proved in mathematics is axiomatic, from which everything else is provable.
There is nothing axiomatic in the fraud-backers’ assertion about climate change. It requires scientific proof, or it is baseless. Chemistry is proved by experiment and observation.
Observation of reality, in relation to the fraud-backers assertions proves them wrong. At a time of increase in the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere, global warming has stopped. This is the opposite of the effect asserted by fraud-backers like yourself.
When you have no science to support your assertions, I suppose you have to try something, even though you make a bigger fool of yourself in so doing.

Ant,

You seem to be disputing Leo’s claim that <<Satellite(s) temperature record shows no warming for 17 years 6 months as at February 2014>>

There is no disputing it –the official warmist publications now openly admit it—see here:
<<Sixteen years into the mysterious ‘global-warming hiatus’, scientists are piecing together an explanation….Now, as the global-warming hiatus enters its sixteenth year, scientists are at last making headway in the case of the missing heat. …
http://www.nature.com/news/climate-change-the-case-of-the-missing-heat-1.14525

It’s another one of those heads-we-win-tales-you-lose games true believers like to play:

First, deny it is happening “what hiatus?”

But when they think they have an excuse it becomes-- "Oh yes it happened...BUT”

And that sort of behaviour loses you any independent thinkers –Poirot and Steele will still be lead along by the nose –but anyone not motivated by political extremism, will shy away.

The cessation of global warming is confirmed by NOAA’s temperature record, ant. I drew your attention to NOAA’s tampering with the temperature record to change a cooling trend to a warming trend. Steele, you will recall, smeared the originator of the report, but neither he nor any one else contradicted the record tampering by NOAA, which now comes up, in the article to which you link, with the usual irrelevant “hottest day”assertions. Typical fraud backing article, ant, no science and no relevance. Much like your posts.

Dear SPQR,

Well you have some gumption I will give you that. Back after quoting from your poster boy Dr Dowdye Jnr. I thought you might have retired to fight another day leaving us with the 'Tinkmiester'.

Okay so what do you have for us now? Oh the old 'hiatus' story huh. Well my friend that has kind of been superseded by April's global temperature figures which were the second highest on record and by May's figures which were the highest.

Yes Leo --I remember well how <<Steele... smeared the originator of the report>>

Yes indeed, that was what I was referring to.When Steele was asked to comment on the reasons for the hiatus. He denied it --he smeared it --he did everything a blind-faith believer would do.

But to be fair to Steele perhaps he hadn't caught up with his reading. He might not have read the latest AGW church fathers encyclical.

__________________________________________

Dear Steele,

You missing the point [AGAIN!]. The warmist authorities *ADMIT* [repeat-- ADMIT] the hiatis. You cannot deny it away by cherry picking a few hot days.

Dr Natalia Shakhova was interviewed by Nick Breeze via skype in relation to a winter trip she had come back from the East Siberian Arctic Shelf earlier this year. She commented that water temperatures were significantly higher than they should be by 6-7 degrees.

I have been continually going to a site that discusses what is happening in the Arctic Region; a couple of days ago the melt rate had been about 6th or 7th in relation to the particular day. A quote from the particular site:
"NSIDC just posted a 171k drop for 2nd July 2014, which puts 2014 just 148k behind 2012 on NSIDC extent figures. If this year continues at its present rate, it will pass 2012 NSIDC figures by 5th July 2014."

That does not necessarily mean that ice melt will reach the extent of 2012 by September, but currently ice melt is well on the way to beating the extent of sea ice extent of 2012.

Ice melt in the Arctic moves a bit like a yoyo, the point I'm making is that temperatures are quite high in the Arctic region at present.
As area covered by water opens up, the ice becomes more subject to cyclonic activity; the longer the fetch of waves pushed by storms, the greater the damage they can do.

http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/

Comments by Dr Shakhova in relation to temperature anomalies in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, and the extent of sea ice breakdown are an indication there has been an increase in temperature in the Arctic region. Also, borne out by high temperatures in Alaska during the winter period, and high temperatures in Northern Canada at present.

Loe my best subjects at school were Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, I well understand how they work. The steps for the physical sciences are observation, explanation and prediction and to back to the start again. This is the traditional scientific method which I would hope you are well aware of. There are no proofs that any particular theory or explanation is correct, predictions lead to new observations which may either support the theory, reject it, or are uncertain. Pure mathematics on the other can produce absolute proofs provided the initial information is correct.

Climate science has progressed a long way and we now have a pretty clear idea how radiation controls surface temperature. The observations and the theory both agree close enough to enable us to make reasonably accurate weather forecasts. Yet you are happy to dismiss the same theories when applied to the probable effects of adding GHGs to the atmosphere.

Frankly your views on climate change are politically tainted. It is clear from some of the links you provide that you will uncritically accept any link which supports your view point

SPQR, your comment about me being like Sgt Schultz, ""I see nothing, and I know nothing"" is a good one.
How many deniers have brought up the matter of reindeer virtually getting bogged in snow in Finland, how many have written about Inuit culture being impacted, how many have discussed erosion of coastlines in Alaska, what about thermokarst lakes and failure, health concerns raised through epidemiological assessments etc etc.
I have tried to stay with the pragmatics of climate change, all these matters and more have been raised here on Onlineopinion.
There have hardly been any nibbles in relation to the spreading of illnesses created through climate change. Nobody has picked up on fish being caught off Greenland that are associated with warmer waters further South. The same is happening off the East Coast of Australia.

Last month the temperature where I live was 1.5C above normal for day time, and .9C for night time. While we have only just begun July, the day time above average is 1.8C, and night time is 3.3C above normal.
It doesn't prove climate change, but certainly shows that weather can vary a lot; when temperature taken over a number of years that shows climate change. Weatherzone is a good site to pick up weather forecasts, it also gives information about temperature, and rainfall averages for a month.

http://www.weatherzone.com.au/

SPQR, I'm aware of what has been termed the hiatus since Matt England wrote a paper about how the ocean was picking up a significant amount of warmth.
Climate change is a complex subject there are literally thousands of peer reviewed papers written about it; there are very few professional papers written against climate change. All major National Science bodies believe it is occurring.

@Ant,

<< your comment about me being like Sgt Schultz>>
Sorry Ant, I wasn’t saying you were like Sgt Schultz. I was saying that Steele was. I was only asking if you wanted to line up with him.
You come across as being relatively open minded. The points you make are no doubt valid but if is not up to non-believers to explain away every piece of "evidence". It is up to the believers to show their case is *water tight*.

The telling point about the question of the hiatus is that those who claimed to operate according to scientific principle –like Steele & co --(earlier on) dodged any questions about it and did everything they could to disparage anyone who even raised them.

I don’t use any link to support “my view point”—I link to them to see if you have reasonable answers. And what I am seeing, from your side, is a mighty lot of sidestepping and attempts to browbeat.

warmair, I'm not surprised that climate deniers don't particularly like Weatherzone.
Continually seeking weather reports has been a constant activity when going up into the mountains or going out to sea after weather reports online became readily available.
I use Weatherzone, Willy Weather, BOM and barometre. I have found Weatherzone is quite accurate in what it forecasts. Deniers would not like how temperature and rainfall are compared to the long term average and monthly averages, on a daily basis.

Actually I see the climate change forum has been closed down on weatherzone but the site was well know for supporting climate change denial. I understand that the owner is skeptical about climate change.

I have no problem with the last link you put up re the hiatus I can not say the same for most of the links that Leo has come up with.

SPQR, you say it "... is not up to non-believers to explain away every piece of "evidence"."
Much of what is written by disbelievers just amounts to "Nuh" without any explanation. Politicians talk about the need for debate on many matters; but there is no debate when the response is virtually just "Nuh". All the points about conspiracies of one sort or another really just amount to "Nuh".

To suggest fraud has taken place goes beyond "Nuh" and needs proper evidence that it has happened. There have been a number of reviews in relation to "climategate"; nobody has been found to be guilty of fraud as a result. Now I guess there is a conspiracy in relation to a major cover up, just nonsense.

As warmair said the matter of hiatus is a real point.

Any Agency with the name "Institute" is suspect as they push a particular political view eg IPA. There are Labor Think Tank examples as well.
Any references from Goddard, Watts and Monckton will not dent the arguments of those who believe in climate change; it is known that there are major flaws in what they present.
Watts has been caught out in alleging temperature was mishandled in the US. It was taken seriously and reviewed, and Watts was found to be completely wrong. I have raised the matter of volume and extent elsewhere in relation to sea ice; you need to do mental somersaults to get around that one.

The Tobacco Industry fought off the knowledge that cigarettes causes lung cancer and a number of other health issues for years.
The Tobacco Industry is part of Heartlands and techniques learnt from the Tobacco Industry are now employed against climate scientists and citizens; such as, obfuscation, cherry picking, discredit those who push climate science, and projection.
Be suspicious of books written about science, as books provide a way to get around peer reviewed content.

Apollo Astronaut:declares/Climate Alarmism
Is the ‘Biggest Fraud/in the Field of Science’

http://cnsnews.com/mrctv-blog/craig-bannister/apollo-astronaut-climate-alarmism-biggest-fraud-field-science

Climate alarmism is "the biggest fraud in the field of science" and the 97% consensus claim is nonsensical, Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Cunningham tells MRCTV in a preview of his presentation at the upcoming Heartland Institute climate conference, July 7-9.

"Since about 2000, I looked farther and farther into it," Col. Cunningham (USMC, Ret.) tells MRCTV in an exclusive interview. "I found that not one of the claims that the alarmists were making out there had any bearings, whatsoever. And, so, it was kind of a no-brainer to come to the conclusion."

Cunningham rejects the notion of man-made climate, not only as fact - but also as even qualifying as an actual "theory":

Another Antarctic sea ice record set – but excuses abound

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/07/02/another-antarctic-sea-ice-record-set-but-excuses-abound/

Today Cryosphere reports 2,112 million km2 more sea ice around Antarctica than normal.

Reality is that we right now have an area matching the size of Greenland of extra sea ice floating around Antarctica. The nightmare for the global warming believers is if the growing ice around Antarctica should be linked to cooling, and so:
1) Some Re-analysis papers and more have been made showing that the ocean around Antarctica is not cooling (as original data suggests) but is in stead warming fast.
2) Several mechanisms have been suggested to argue how come ice can grow so much faster when in fact the water is supposed to have warmed up.

Hi Ant,

Here's some *food* for thought. This is a -slightly annotated- article from "Time" June 23, 2014 –PLEASE CONSIDER THE PARALLELS:

“In 1977, the year before I was born, a Senate committee led by George McGovern published its landmark ‘Dietary Goals for the United States,’ urging Americans to eat less high-fat red meat, eggs and dairy and replace them with more calories from fruits, vegetables and especially carbohydrates...
[picture George McGovern as a earlier Al Gore and fat as CO2]

By 1980 that wisdom was codified. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued its first dietary guidelines and one of the primary directives was to avoid cholesterol and fat of all sorts. The National Institutes of Health recommended that all Americans over the age of 2 cut fat consumption, and the same year the government announced the results of a $150 million study, which had a clear message: Eat less far and cholesterol to reduce your risk of heart attack…
[yep! The science is settled --nows the time for direct action --picture this as Obama's new environmental laws ..the Oz carbon taxes ...and those almost weekly climate spruiting reports]

Nearly four decades later, the results are in: the experiment was a failure. Americans cut the fat, but by almost every measure, they are sicker than ever…‘Americans were told to cut fat to lose weight and prevent heart disease,’ says Dr David Ludwig …there’s an overwhelmingly strong case to be made for the opposite’ But …despite the evidence to support it . The vilification of fat is now deeply embedded in American culture…
[picture the 17 year hiatus & similar anomalies -- and anyone who raises questions about it being shouted down]

The US’s demonisation of fat may have backfired in ways it is just beginning to understand..."
["HOUSTON we have a problem! apropos those charts you gave us -when did the Moon acquire a huge multicolour ring? & satellites of its own...Houston,Houston are you there? --or with reference to the IPCC & climate change -how did we come to loose all our infustries and revert to third world status?]

SPQR, I'm not sure that the parallels you are trying to draw are there.
.People's lifestyles have changed.
.In 1977 electronic devices were not available and people tended to be more active.
.There wasn't the proliferation of fast food outlets as there are now ( in Australia, anyway)
.People were not drinking cordials loaded with sugar to the extent they do now.
.People tend to be more sedentary through using their electronic devices.

The same trend is happening in Australia. Cutting down on cholesterol levels has been pushed here. The diet industry hardly existed from memory in 1977 here, there wasn't the emphasis on looks as there is now. Using dieting programs is a sure way to end up putting on more weight in the long run for many people.
Doctors still have the view that cholesterol is bad, they have been able to distinguish fats that are harmful and those that have not impacts on the body. Last year on Catalyst there was a program (Heart of the Matter) about not using statins to reduce cholesterol levels. The presenter was attacked by the medical profession after the showing. The medical profession did not have anything to gain other than the health of their patients.

“Leo you keep demanding definitive proof that human activities are affecting the climate.

This is on a par with demanding proof that chemistry or mathematics is correct”.
When you said this, warmair, I took you to be lacking education. As you say, you received appropriate schooling, so you know better than to make such a baseless statement. You are well aware that the assertions made about AGW are not axiomatic, and require scientific proof, particularly as the assertions are shown by current observation to be wrong.
Since you know that your statement is baseless, you did not make it through ignorance, so your statement was dishonest. It is a fraud-backing statement.
Here is an extract from a link that you will find helpful, posted by OUG. It is Apollo astronaut Walter Cunningham talking about AGW:
"To me, it's almost laughable, it's the biggest fraud in the field of science,certainly in my lifetime, maybe the biggest one in centuries."
"If you go back and you look at the data that has been well-documented over the years, you can look and see, for example, that right now both carbon dioxide and temperature are simultaneously at one of the lowest levels in at least the last 600-800 million years. The last time they were both together at this low a level, more or less, was 300 million years ago, and if you go back go back about 500-600 million years ago, carbon dioxide was 15 times higher than what it is now. So, what I'm getting at is this, the history shows you that most of this is just plain nonsensical today."

Lol!

"....It is Apollo astronaut Walter Cunningham talking about AGW:"

"As you are no doubt aware, warmair, astronauts are highly trained scientists."

Oh, here's a good article on the subject:

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/apr/12/attacks-climate-science-nasa-staff

We have seen many examples of climate denialists producing long lists of fake experts, for example the Oregon Petition and the Wall Street Journal 16. Now we have yet another of these lists of fake experts. 49 former National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) employees (led by Harrison Schmitt, who was also one of the Wall Street Journal 16) have registered their objection to mainstream climate science through the most popular medium of expressing climate contrarianism - a letter. As is usually the case in these climate contrarian letters, this one has no scientific content, and is written by individuals with not an ounce of climate science expertise, but who nevertheless have the audacity to tell climate scientists what they should think about climate science."

"Obviously this letter first gained attention because the signatories are former NASA employees. They are being touted as "top astronauts, scientists, and engineers" and "NASA experts, with more than 1000 years of combined professional experience." Okay, but in what fields does their expertise lie?

Based on the job titles listed in the letter signatures, by my count they include 23 administrators, 8 astronauts, 7 engineers, 5 technicians, and 4 scientists/mathematicians of one sort or another (none of those sorts having the slightest relation to climate science). Amongst the signatories and their 1,000 years of combined professional experience, that appears to include a grand total of zero hours of climate research experience, and zero peer-reviewed climate science papers...."

(The old fake expert trick...always worth a visit to an OLO climate thread for some jollies:)

Leo, Astronauts are not specialists in climate science; but you are saying that scientists who believe what you say have credibility but any scientist involved with climate science do not, no logic there.

Carbon dioxide is continually measured at a number of stations; in pre-Industrial Revolution times there was something like 270+- ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere, now it has crept up to just a a tad over 400ppm +-. Very easily checked.

http://www.csiro.au/greenhouse-gases/GreenhouseGas/data/CapeGrim_CO2_data_download.txt

In May 2014 the amount of CO2 measured was 401.85 ppm at Hawaii. The CSIRO reference shows how the level of CO2 in the atmosphere has been steadily rising.

Methane another greenhouse gas has moved from about 790 ppb to 1990 ppb in a short time frame. Methane is released from tundra areas and fairly shallow waters that are ice covered. Cold temperatures keep it stable but the amount being voided is increasing.

A couple of years ago a friend with a Maths Science background went to a Plimer presentation. My mate stated that Plimer was talking about water vapour as not being a greenhouse agent. The atmosphere being warmer allows for more water vapour to be carried in clouds; but when it is released, it releases big time (Britain, US, Bosnia/Serbia, Austria, Brazil, and China all in 2014). So we have a geologist who spoke about an area out of his expertise (atmospherics) who got it wrong.

oug
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders and are listed in DSM 5 and ICD-10 as psychological/psychiatric conditions.

So it is sad the talented Karen Carpenter died from an eating disorder, that has no bearing on the subject discussed. Yes, I remember twiggy as well, she was extremely slim. There would have been millions of slim people about in 1977 and numbers of obese as well when the US review was completed in 1977.
In Australia there were few magazines in 1977 pushing diets, Woman's Day, New Idea and Woman's Weekly not many more. There has been a proliferation of magazines and media reports since about diet and body image.

A skype interview with Dr Shakhova below. In relation to methane; disputing methane shows a misunderstanding of what happens when permafrost melts and how it reacts in water. The science is there, no way of challenging it. It's a bit like challenging the existence of oxygen. There are clips showing how ice containing methane can be lit.

SPQR, you don't go to a Ear,Nose and Throat Surgeon to have Orthopaedic work done on your knee. The ENT Surgeon may have some knowledge about knees, but the Orthopaedic surgeon would have extra knowledge and experience necessary. In the same way you cannot expect a Biologist or a Geologist to have the same knowledge about the atmosphere as does an Atmospheric Scientist.
I'm afraid I believe the Specialists. But then, Marine Scientists are saying that climate change is happening off the East Coast of Australia as fish stocks are following warmer water South. An example of many where the work of other science specialities supports what climate scientists are saying.

Ant,

<<I'm afraid I believe the Specialists. But then, Marine Scientists are saying that climate change is happening...>>

As I might have mentioned before-- I believe in climate change too.

But I am less convinced that any climate change that happens is due to, or even largely due to,anthropogenic green house gases.

And I think many AGW believers have the same doubt which is why they always try to re-frame it as belief in climate versus belief the climate does not change--and they also -very mischievously --try to rope general pollution into their equation.

An extract from the article to which Poirot refers us:
“Since nothing in science is ever proven, apparently these individuals simply don't want NASA GISS to discuss science in their public releases or websites anymore. What specifically do they object to?”
This is just the start of the devious nonsense in the article, but it gives the tone of what Poirot is prepared to swallow, and to endorse.
The author of the article, associated with the fraudulent Skeptical Science site, has the gall to say:
The letter of course provides no examples of NASA GISS public releases or websites claiming that CO2 is having a catastrophic impact on climate change, and of course provides zero examples of these mysterious "hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists" who disbelieve these unspecified catastrophic claims. As is always the case with these types of letters, it is all rhetoric and no substance.”

Following is a statement from a NASA site, typical of the statements put out by NASA, but the author seems to need directions to find them:

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,1and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. “
http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

Poirot has not answered the question as to her basis for fraud backing, but it is evident that it is dishonesty. The article is dismissive of the 8 astronauts signing the letter which requests NASA desist from making unproven statements on climate change, which Poirot sees as proving the lack of qualification of astronauts. Rather than the mendacity of the fraud backer who wrote the article.

SPQR, I think it would be very silly to suggest that natural climate change is not happening. Every 26,000 years the earth's axis changes.
The sun periodically has much sun spot activity which has an impact on the earth's climate, volcanoes have an impact also. Even movement of the tectonic plates over a long period has an impact.
Various emissions can be tested for, sunspot activity, has been low, and there has been no major volcanic action which would have an impact. It is known that the impact of warming created by man can trigger natural impacts. It has the ironic name of positive feedback.

The Dr Shakhova clips I provided above do acknowledge natural warming forces; but also discusses anthropogenic impacts.
Experiments show how carbon dioxide responds to light, I have provided that as a reference somewhere.
Much of the anti climate change argument comes from a political sphere; we know that politicians lie and some of their supporters carry through with the lies. Heartlands and IPA are supporters of big business and have a vested interest in carrying through with not telling the truth.
People who believe the climate is changing but not through anthropogenic means, need to think about what they can do to reduce impacts in relation to planning for the future.

Leo
The good astronaut says that 600 to 500 million years ago the level of CO2 was around 3000 ppm. This is probably correct he does not mention what the global temperatures were thought to be. The general understanding is that at between 700M and 500M years ago the temperature was cold enough to produce an ice age but that steadily rising CO2 levels eventually caused average global the temperatures to rise into the high 20s deg C.

The issue is complicated by the fact the sun has been steadily increasing its output. 500 million years ago the sun’s output was some 4% less that today. To make up for this short fall the CO2 level had to be in excess of 3000 ppm just in order to stop the earth from becoming a giant ice ball.

To give you a rough idea the current elevated levels of CO2 of about 40% should have roughly the same effect as increasing solar output by around 1% which is in turn is moderated by aerosols emissions reducing the warming effect by up to a half.

In fact we know from the fossil record that liquid water must have been available 3.5 billion years ago, but yet the sun’s output that far back was some 30% less than today which in theory would suggest that global temperatures should have been well below the freezing point of water. The only way we can make sense of this, is by considering the greenhouse effect of CO2.

The bottom line is the good astronaut appears to be unaware of these facts.

The output of the sun over periods of thousands of years is remarkably constant but over billions of years there has been a big increase in output. The reason is simple as hydrogen is converted to helium the density increases and this speeds up the rate hydrogen is consumed until eventually most of the hydrogen is gone and things go pear shaped.

warmair, just out of curiosity I went to the site you recommended to OUG, it was very funny to say the least.
I had a look at this article...http://creation.com/a-165-million-year-surprise

The article claims to invalidate science, the planet is but 6,000 years old. Hot springs preserved creatures and shells, and Noah's flood put sediment over creatures presumably creating fossils.
It must be the case that dinosaurs perished at the time of the flood.
Why weren't dinosaurs taken on board the Ark Noah had built?
Many creatures missed the boat!!

Once the flood had abated how did creatures end up on the Galapagos Islands or Australia? Hell, you could write a book about all the questions raised.

The logic of Creationists just doesn't make sense; yet, people with these notions are against the view of anthropogenic climate change.

Warmair,

So Noah's Flood occurred in Winter, 1656 AM ? Perhaps late Winter, to give reptiles time to really cool down. Say August ?

So the old 40-days-etc. at sea would place the landing on Mt Ararat in mid- to late September ? Not a good time of the year, early Spring, to hunt around for all manner of foodstuffs for hundreds of thousands of animals, and their many offspring. Perhaps many died trying to get back to their original habitats, South America, southern Africa, Australia, etc., leaving their bones to be discovered four thousand or so years later, dispersed in rings around Mt Ararat in ever-decreasing quantities ?

Isn't rubbish fascinating ?

The other possibility is they ate them, apparently dinosaurs taste like chicken.

Which for some silly reason reminds of the recipe for Cockatoo. Boil in pot with stone and cook until stone is soft, throw away the cockatoo and eat the stone.

john huesoon quoted the much debuted true cost of solar=3 percent
the same lying spin/hes rich enough to be snide oh where is abc fact check

the facts are system upgrades = solar system upgrades [ie making the green-grid]

what they expected was give away free cardon credit
[to the big poluters]..then add a govt top up of 50 percent

green=obscene/its been highjacked years ago [heck i know people died]
the basic isea is keep[ pushing the lie

3 percent=network building[ie 4 billion for ya mate to build a solsr farm selling power at ten times the price and your shared income is guaranteed/and if the power demand keeps falling it will be nearer to 40 percent[already they admit 29]

wake up you lobbiets
one more time/only this time know your selling lies

this clever thing was when someone tried to get too clever

On 6 July warmair, you stated:“The bottom line is the good astronaut appears to be unaware of these facts.”

What you have raised, should it constitute fact, is not relevant to his statement. The issue is the dishonesty of the AGW assertion.

Cunningham says this about the letter to NASA which he and his group signed as ex-NASA personnel:
“We developed a letter to NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden and obtained signatures from seven Apollo astronauts, several former Headquarters managers and Center directors, and 40 former management-level technical specialists. We asked that he restrain NASA from including unproven claims in public releases and on websites. Statements by NASA that man-made carbon dioxide was having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data. It is clear that the science is NOT settled.
The unbridled advocacy of CO2 being the major cause of climate change is inconsistent with NASA’s history of conducting an objective assessment of all available scientific data prior to making decisions or public statements. They should be emphasizing to the media that human- caused global warming is a hypothesis, not a scientific fact.
And the second letter?
Well, NASA Chief Scientist, Dr. Waleed Abdalati, testified at a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing that the sea level was projected to rise between 0.2 meters and 2 meters within the next 87 years. This was based upon the warmest temperature scenarios, derived of course, from highly theoretical computer models.
A group of NASA retirees responded with another letter charging that NASA in general, and GISS in particular, has failed to objectively assess all available data on climate change, while relying too heavily upon complex climate models that have not succeeded in predicting climate. The letter specifically asked that GISS, then headed by James Hansen, not incorporate unproven remarks in public releases and websites.
Thankfully, James Hansen has since resigned. He was an embarrassment and disgrace to the agency.”

Hi Leo,

On sea-level rise, I'm a bit concerned about that SBS advert, in which waves are seen slopping over mangroves - horrors ! obvious sea-level rise !

Well, not really - waves would slop over mangroves every day around the world even if the sea-level was falling, probably right at this moment. A really lazy, scare-mongering advert. SBD can do better.

Well regardless of what your good astronaut believes this is what NASA says:-

http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

It is sad really that, what has been well understood since before the the Wright brothers first flight in an aircraft, is being disputed by anyone.

Thanks, warmair, for drawing our attention to the fact that although the climate fraud Hansen, has retired, NASA continues to lie about AGW. Apparently, Hansen has been replaced by Gavin Schmidt, part of the fraud-backing infestation centred on Realclimate, the Michael Mann site.
Despite the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, and its failure to cause warming for nearly 18 years, you do not want the “science” questioned, because it is so old, even though it is obviously wrong. It is vital to the fraud-backer faith, to pretend that they have science to back their baseless assertions.

Frankly Leo I have no idea why you are so determined to deny climate change. Its not just NASA that thinks climate change is happening it is every scientific body from every country bar one. On top of that most of the worlds largest companies agree as well.

I am sure that you believe you are clever, warmair, using the expression as defined by IPCC to make the fraudulent assertion of human caused climate change. Neither you, nor the mendacious IPCC or any other entity, have any scientific basis to assert any measurable human caused effect on climate. Climate change in the normal definition of the English words, is occurring. Climate change, as fraudulently defined by the IPCC is not occurring.
As to the fraudulent assertions by scientific bodies that human caused climate change is occurring, we need a Royal Commission to ascertain by whom and by what means such statements are procured, from the otherwise reputable bodies. In the meantime, only dishonest people,. like yourself, will rely on them.

There is no science to show any measurable effect of human emissions on climate. Your assertion is baseless and fraudulent.

Leo the bottom line is you have been seriously misled by others, and it is simply sad that you have been taken in by a load of charlatans. I and others have provided you with all the information you need to confirm that AGW is a fact. Claiming it is a fraud as you do in all your posts, is both insulting to the scientists and just plain wrong.

Thanks, warmair, I take that as confirmation that you have no science to justify your position, and persist with it despite being well aware that it is fraudulent.

If scientists who are dishonest enough to support fraud, feel insulted when they are exposed as fraudulent, then it is inappropriate. They should feel shame.

You make the baseless statement that I have been misled. Show me the science which demonstrates any measurable effect of human emissions on climate, or acknowledge the fact that you are attempting to mislead, by backing the baseless fraud of AGW.

The problem Leo is I am well aware that AGW it is not fraudulent,end of story.

We could continue with I am right your wrong, but I think this thread has reached its use by date.

Where is OUG when you need him to end a thread ?

We know that you have no scientific basis, warmair, but only you can tell us whether your belief is sustained by ignorance, stupidity or dishonesty. You have told us you are not stupid or ignorant, so you are precluded from denying dishonesty, the only other possible basis for your support of AGW .Goodbye, warmair.

We have established that the support for AGW by warmair, and by Poirot, arose from dishonesty. There is certainly no basis in science for the assertion that human emissions have any measurable effect on climate.
Poirot endorsed her classification as dishonest with the vacuous comment, “hee hee”. That is understandable. She is of the left, and dishonesty is the sine qua non of the Left.
As a group primate, she seeks approval of her group, so being designated “dishonest” gains the approval of a lefty group.

We still have ant supporting the fraud, and it is not clear whether that is through dishonesty or stupidity. She disdains science, and quotes fire-fighters, tourist pamphlets the inuit, and the pseudoscience of the NCA, in support of her nonsense.

It is a great day, today. Abbott has despatched the Carbon Tax, just as he promised.
