Col (with apologies to Fractelle)

Evidently, Geoff Carmody’s article on implementing design principles for effective climate change policy has gone right through your bloated head. A shame really, particularly since you claim to care about natural resources and are dismissive of Rudd’s.

Col, you’re just a plain old misguided “I’ll blow your house down OLO huff-n-puffer”.

You think I’m arrogant? From my position I am approaching retirement. However, I will continue to contribute in a constructive way to the advancement of science, technology and policy formulation.

Your cut-n-paste job from dovif2 is doing the rounds of the denialosphere and the media shock-jock columns. You obviously don’t know how to check your sources – you’re a CPA? In your ignorance (or are you a deliberate miscreant) you contribute to the distortion and misrepresentation of science ... what else should we expect from a self confessed “fornicator”?

Even someone like you can be a so called IPCC “expert reviewer” – all you have to do is review the draft and undertake not to disclose or discuss the contents prior to its release. Bygees, if I can be an expert reviewer, why can’t you?

Now, let’s have a closer look at Dr Kiminori Itoh. In his own words:

“I would like to briefly introduce myself. I finished my PhD course (Industrial Chemistry) at The University of Tokyo in 1978. From 1978 to 1989, I worked for Professors Honda and Fujishima at The Unversity of Tokyo as Assistant Professor and also Lecturer. They are famous in the field of photoelectrochemistry, with which most climate scientists sare not familiar with. In this field, my greatest contribution is the development of optical waveguide spectroscopy for solid surfaces, for which I received awarded from relevant academic societies. From 1989 to now I have been working at Yokohama National University, mostly in the field of environmental metrology including optical biochemical sensing and theoretical as well as experimental biodiversity measurements. For instance, we have recently developed extremely highly sensitive gas sensing systems and two-dimensional DNA electrophoresis methods.”

Dr Itoh goes on;

“My interest in the global warming issue started when I had a lecture on environmental metrology in 1995 or so. I was rather surprised at that time to know how this issue was ambiguous unlike stories that conventional news or opinions tell us. For instance, I wondered why the effect of solar changes had been neglected by most climatologists, when I saw in Science a Letter article from the Danish Meteorological Institute in 1997. I also felt it was dangerous that the Japanese society was going to increase nuclear power plants to decrease carbon dioxide, and thought that I had to do something for this situation.

Since then, I have written (or participated in) four books (in Japanese, unfortunately) on this issue including the present one. I also took a patent on sunspot number anticipation, and did some contribution to the IPCC AR4 as an expert reviewer. This is no doubt surprising for an environmental physical chemist like me. I am now even feeling that my original expertise, metrology, was all along close to meteorology; that is, “meteorology” is formed by putting “eo” inside “metrology.”

Col dear, this guy publishes things like;

“Computer simulations of seasonal outbreak and diurnal vertical migration of cyanobacteria” and;

“Mathematical modeling of colony formation in algal blooms: phenotypic plasticity in cyanobacteria.”

I’m sure even a practicing CPA can see the ‘disconnect’, but in your case – I have me doubts.

Oh, and you go on with your cut-n-paste ...

“Dr Joanne Simpson is quoted: "Since I am no longer affiliated with any organisation nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly … As a scientist I remain sceptical”.

Well duh ... As a scientist I remain sceptical too, we are by nature and training.

I too am approaching retirement, in 2 years , with luck I may get more I love my job.
No way I want to ever side with those who say global warming is wrong/natural/a beat up.
I have seen our planet change in just my lifetime,
Yes we over use it, abuse it and pollute it.
We pump rubbish into the air the sea and our rivers.
QxA Be happy you are not Col, over confidence in ones own views and failure to consider others is a handy cap, not a virtue.
I find the extremes in the debate of no use.
I find answers from people Col insults, to not take information because it is not the answers you want is strange.

Q&A “Col, you’re just a plain old misguided”

Ah, attacked with some of Q&A caustic wit… full of his usual and worthless patronizing opinion

Yawn

“However, I will continue to contribute in a constructive way to the advancement of science, technology and policy formulation.”

Then why don’t you, instead of just “bitching” about me

“distortion and misrepresentation of . . . . . ”

Yes, that excuse was quite popular among the inquisitionists, when they were having a heretic BBQ.

“As a scientist I remain sceptical too, we are by nature and training.”

Yet you criticize my right to express “skepticism”

Which amounts to the Usual hypocrisy which we have come to expect from Q&A

Belly “I find answers from people Col insults, to not take information because it is not the answers you want is strange.”

sounds like you are talking about yourself there Belly.

Keep it coming, you bunch of old slappers,

Remember I am entitled to my view and as it stands at the present

When we think of Bernard Madoff, his scam falls into insignificance when we consider the rort which some so called “climate scientists” are endeavouring to pull over the eyes of the rest of the world.

With theoretical quasi science, based on incomplete research and models which lack the critical component of “parallel running” against real data, we are witnessing one of the biggest scams since the EU started managing the market price for European food produce.

The posts were very interesting with a wide range of views. The report I found of great value was the US Senate Minority report on climate which contains the contributions of 650 scientist, many with impeccable CV's which give the real facts. From what I have read in the past the IPPC report on climate was massaged by the political level.

This is not the only report i have downloaded on climate change but it is the most believable. GO TO TINY URL - http://tinyurl.com/3sjq5e

Col, you forgot to mention "Socialism by Stealth".
