Dear Hasbeen,

I really do need to get some work done but whenever I see your name in the inbox I just gotta see what you might have for me.

This time you have excelled! I really haven't had that sort of a belly laugh for a while.

This is how it went down.

1. Read your post

2. Google the site you have mentioned 'Tallbloke's Talkshop' hoping at the very least the author might be a climate scientist at the very least.

3. Found it at https://tallbloke.wordpress.com (let me know if this ain't the one), quick look at the owner's credentials, nope no climate scientist.

4. Quick scan of the front page, oh there is something of interest, a menu link to 'Predictions'.

5. Go to page and read the following;

“The real center of circulation (making land fall in Huston today) [it will be back in 109 days ready to talk business] was West of the rain band that they called Bonnie, Because there are no major outer planets having a synod conjunction with the earth until mid August, the precipitation was “missing” from the center of circulation, as the global circuit is still in the ion charge mode, it increases global precipitation rates post conjunctions. (Remember the flash floods in March, April?)”

“The real hurricane season will kick in after the first of three synod conjunctions with Neptune on the 20th of August, then really get crazy just after the combined synod conjunctions with both Jupiter and Uranus on the 21st, and each other on the 24th of September.”

6. Pick myself up off the floor from whence I had collapsed from laughing so hard.

Okay, let me get this straight, you want us to dismiss solid climate science and modelling and then recommend a site predicting weather patterns from the orbit of Neptune?

Oh Hasbeen, bloody priceless mate! My eyes are still watering.

Very, very funny.

I'm getting a sneaking suspicion you have done this on purpose. If so you have made my day. Thank you.

Oh my Lord! Now I'm hurting. Hahahahaha! Oh please mercy! The more I think of it the funnier it gets! Just too good!

'Any chance of rain today my good fellow?'

'Not sure, wait and I'll get the telescope.'

'Oh look the perambulations of Pluto promise pissing precipitation'

'Thank you, I'll be sure to take the brolly.'

ROFL!

That's my post limit but well worth it.

CSteele,

Holy frozen mackerel , CSteele, the gentleman’s title is: Climate Commissioner!
Why appoint him to that position if his is as you say?

And then we have this:
“Last week, federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett said experts predicted sea level rises of up to 6m from Antarctic melting by 2100, but the worst case scenario foreshadowed by the SCAR report was a 1.25m rise.”

And this:
NEW Australian research rejects forecasts that the Great Barrier Reef will be destroyed within a generation by climate change, and finds that corals are capable of adapting better than previously believed.

In warmist circles, they would be detecting a seriously life threatening trend developing on the basis of the above!

However there is hope, some people are waking up:
"There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models."

Dear SPQR,

I'm going to go a little easy on you tonight.

I’m not sure if it is because I have had so much fun with the hapless Hasbeen today, or I am in a merciful mood, or I liked your effort a couple of posts ago, plus I've always had a soft spot for anyone on a hiding to nothing.

Okay a little word of advice, you really need to read the whole article in the link you are putting up to try and support your side of the debate. Get past the attention getting headline or else you are going to end up being a feast for someone who is not as kind as I.

Can I invite you to look at the last link in your post. It was the first one I went to as anything dealing with the science rather than the politics always takes priority.

I think unfortunately you will find it is virtually a wet dream for those prosecuting the dangers of elevated CO2 levels. 

It is basically saying that the physics of the extra 70% of CO2 in the atmosphere doesn’t explain all of the 7 degrees C the temperature rose back then.

"The study, which appears in Nature Geoscience, found that climate models explain only about half of the heating that occurred during a well-documented period of rapid global warming in Earth's ancient past."

"Some feedback loop or other processes that aren't accounted for in these models -- the same ones used by the IPCC for current best estimates of 21st Century warming -- caused a substantial portion of the warming that occurred during the PETM."

I mean the most generous slant we could put on this is that its a dreadful own goal.

But I'm not going to go the hack on you, I like having you around. However you mustn’t tell the others or else they will claim I'm playing favourites.

CSteele,

<< a little word of advice, you really need to read the whole article in the link you are putting up to try and support your side of the debate. Get past the attention getting headline >>

And here's a little word of advice for you: upgrade your comprehension skills, or else, remove your political blinkers.

Let's go back to that pesky article that is giving you so many comprehension problems:
The first thing we find is the line I quoted was not the “headline” --it was main point of the article.
And it is repeated –throughout the article, in various guises:
Once: "There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models."
Twice: " a new study suggests scientists' best predictions about global warming might be incorrect”.
Thrice: "that climate models explain only about half of the heating that occurred”

So once again (IN CASE YOU STILL MISSED IT) the key point of the article was: CLIMATE MODELS ARE INACCURATE
(which might go some of the way towards explaining why your “experts” get it wrong, so often )

And it echoes what I mentioned to you way back in this post :http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/images/icon_link_grey.gif
Though at the time you were too busy waffling-on or side-stepping to take it in.

I love the you guys/gals repretend to speak on behalf of science.
Sorry burst your (hot air) bubble, but you DON’T represent science –you only represent your own narrow political faction.

I also love the way you can discount 75% of criticism ( without even reading it) simply because you don’t like the color of the paper it’s written on.
It can’t be anything to do with high standards, since you have shown you are willing to accept anything the Taliban feeds you (maybe one has to wear a burka to be credible!)

Oh my dear SPQR,

I will happily admit to pulling out all stops to make your lot look foolish on this thread, just mimicking the tactics really, however you really do take much of the fun out of it when you are so determined to do the job yourself.

You have offered a prime and might I say breath-taking example of how terribly blinkered you lot are. Here is an article warning that the historical records show that climate modeling might well be underestimating by half the potential impact of increased CO2 levels on global temperature. It’s saying an important POSITIVE feedback mechanism may well have been missed.

Most of your side would be condemning it as ’alarmist’ and burning it in the back yard so it isn't seen by the masses. You instead wave it around claiming it proves black is white.

Don't you see how stupid this makes you look? Actually I think you do because each time you get cornered you mention a Burqua plus you are obviously quite rattled as you are posting links to tiny gif files.

I think you’re done.

I kind of feel like I'm playing Jack Chan in one of his movies. All the rest of the bad guys are unconscious on the floor and the one weedy type who has been holding back finally decides to make a lunge but knocks himself out. It adds some light relief to the fight scene and the audience has a chuckle.

I thought Hasbeen was up for the role but SPQR has auditioned and I think it could be a close.
