Superglue not needed : Comments

By John Mikkelsen, published 24/11/2023

Thousands of school students took part in a climate action strike under the guise of 'A sick day for a sick planet'.

The author refers to a series of failed predictions of the climate alarmists. But this is really like shooting fish in barrel. Its just too easy.

We've now had half a century of climate alarmism filled with all sorts of predictions about what is in store for humanity. So very many of these predictions have fallen by the wayside that it'd take the felling of several forests to comprehensively list them.

But still the alarmists just carry on as though the most recent predictions are gospel and will most definitely come to pass.

Beware folks!. The end is nigh. (or nigh-ish).

Dear Mikkoi2,

Presumably you are the author of this turgid piece.

Fair enough. Let's see how you respond to the following.

There were two major peaks of CO2 concentrations during the Jurassic period.

Early on the sea levels were equivalent to where they are now but tracking with the increases in CO2 the sea levels rose remarkably within the period.

"During the latest part of the Toarcian, the sea level again dropped by several tens of metres. It progressively rose from the Aalenian onwards, aside from dips of a few tens of metres in the Bajocian and around the Callovian–Oxfordian boundary, peaking possibly as high as 140 metres above present sea level at the Kimmeridgian–Tithonian boundary. The sea levels falls in the late Tithonian, perhaps to around 100 metres, before rebounding to around 110 metres at the Tithonian–Berriasian boundary."

Further:

"During the Toarcian Warm Interval, ocean surface temperatures likely exceeded 30 °C, and equatorial and subtropical (30°N–30°S) regions are likely to have been extremely arid, with temperatures in the interior of Pangea likely in excess of 40 °C."

Wikipedia

This is obviously the kind of trends one would expect and except to the most ideologically tainted we can see some of that now.

Why do you remain so steadfastly wilfully ignorant of this?

Either grow up or fade away.

I don't support any kids taking days off school to go to any protests.
I don't even support it when its an issue I agree with.

It's a students job to go to school to learn, not be indoctrinated and then used for political purposes.

There's a reason we don't let 10 year olds vote.

As for glueing oneself to a road...
All I can say is 'Play stupid games, win stupid prizes'

They wanted to screw around and mess with other people going about their day.
They got unlucky and messed with the wrong person.

Poorer by the day education fostered by insipid Academia has brought on this dilemma that’ll plague Western society for generations !

"Why do you remain so steadfastly wilfully ignorant of this?"

How do you know he doesn't know about this? Perhaps he, like the rest of us, thought that what happened 187Ma is utterly irrelevant to this conversation.

Meanwhile.... "Significant 21st century cooling in the Central Pacific, Eastern Pacific, and nearly all of Antarctica “implies substantial uncertainties in future temperature projections of CMIP6 models.” – Zhang et al., 2023"

West Antarctica cooled by -1.8°C from 1999-2018. In spring, the cooling rate reached -1.84°C per decade.

"Of 28 CMIP6 models, none captured a cooling trend – especially of this amplitude – for this region. This modelling failure “implies substantial uncertainties in future temperature projections of CMIP6 models.”

I'd explain the significance of such modelling failures, but we are talking with SR here, so not real point.

Still, as regards WTF's competing papers, we should point out the significance of the recent cooling trend isn't so much the actual quantum of the cooling but the way it calls into question the accuracy of the models. In the end, this whole stupid scare is based on computer model forecasts. But if the models fail to accurately reflect recent temps then their accuracy is dubious. In the same way as Zhang et al point out that the models failed to reflect the SH cooling, many said models failed to see the recent cooling. If the models can't even show accuracy about the recent past, why should we treat them as anything other than interesting toys for the forecasts about the distant future?

Even Albanese's education minister has advised the naive, brainwashed children to get educated if they want to change the world.

No wonder an increasing number of grandparents are contributing to private school education to keep their grandchildren out of the clutches of the Communist teachers' unions.
