Category: Collapsing Science

Nothing those of us who live in Reality Land didn’t already know. Of course, Warmist, or, should we call them the New Climate Deniers, will do their little dance and claim that those warm periods were completely different. Back then, natural processes drove the climate. The sun, moon, gravatic forces, volcanoes, oceans, water vapor, etc […]

I’m sure Warmists will find a way to blame this on Mankind’s output of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2. Probably because you, dear reader, drove a fossil fueled vehicle and refuse to unplug every appliance before you go to work. Or, perhaps they’ll flip back to their talking point that weather is not climate (via Climate […]

Don’t you hate when people do science? (The Hockey Schtick) The currently-favored excuse du jour for no statistically-significant global warming over the past 20 years is that the oceans “ate the man-made global warming.” However, a 2012 paper published in Nature Climate Change torpedoes this notion, finding the global oceans started warming at least 135 […]

(USA Today photo of an evil power plant in Sofia, Bulgaria, which dares use coal and puts out steam) The last IPCC report, AR4, stated that it was “very likely” that they were full of bat guano, er, that Mankind was at fault for the tiny bit of warming (mentioned in the AP report) since […]

Consensus is politics (Mother Nature Network) Climate experts also told LiveScience they would like to see the new report stress the scientific consensus on climate change, and emphasize the link between human activities and global warming. “I hope this report will stress the virtual certainty among the scientific community that humans are affecting the climate […]

This flows in perfectly with the Warmist notion that debate is great, and they’re willing to debate anyone anytime anywhere, but when challenged disappear and refuse Why We’re Shutting Off Our Comments Comments can be bad for science. That’s why, here at PopularScience.com, we’re shutting them off. It wasn’t a decision we made lightly. As […]

Barring that, they’ll simply make up excuses for why landfalling hurricane activity has fallen like a stone since the start of the 2006 season (NOLA) The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was kicked off with dire warnings from the National Hurricane Center and Colorado State University climatologists Philip Klotzbach and William Gray that there would be […]

The UK Guardian has recently spent quite a bit of time exposing the ever growing power of government interference in the lives of people via the National Security Agency and their ever-present spying. Now they have a big article on the upcoming UN IPCC AR5 “climate change” report, and let the cat out of the […]

Ahead of the soon to be released UN IPCC report, much of which has been leaked and destroyed already, and of which Nature stated that were “out of date by the time they hit the street”, a new peer-reviewed report has been released that thrashes the Warmists and their Blamestorming of Mankind for releasing GHGs. […]

I’m shocked that the Washington Post has allowed this op-ed to be published, which blows away so many of the myths of extreme weather and “climate change”, many of which have been exposed time and again by many Climate Realists One of the most persistent claims in the climate debate is that global warming leads […]

You really do have to love Warmists. When one little weather event occurs, they hyperventilate and claim that this is proof, PROOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!!!! that Someone Else driving a fossil fueled vehicle and flushing their toilet too much caused it. When things do not work out, their first step is to say “meh” (Met Office)Arctic summer sea […]

The Arctic has been doing very well this year, thank you very much, with big growth, 60% in one year, and being the same thinkness as it was back in 1940. There’s been no warming for 8 years in the Arctic. But, hey, the Warmists predicted this, right? Right? Arctic sea ice delusions strike the […]

I never did get around to discussing the recent Australian elections, where Labor lost control and the Liberal Party won. But, I tell you, the Labor losers, Warmists all, have become really fun. As Steve Milloy notes “Democracy is so yesterday when the Left loses” Voting while the planet burns In the Barrington Tops, where […]

It’s not the first time recent conflicts are being blamed on “climate change”, ie, because you, dear reader, drove a fossil fueled vehicle and probably have an ice maker in your fridge. Nor will it be the last. But Warmists see an opening to push their cult like dogma when it comes to Syria (Motherboard) […]

“But, but, but, it could have included some components of Hotcoldwetdry too!!!! Please, believe us, we have bills to pay” (via Junk Science) (Financial Times) Cities along the US east coast face a looming “sea level rise crisis” from a growing number of disasters as severe as hurricane Sandy, according to research on links between […]

In terms of landfalling hurricanes, this seems to be what’s happening. It’s been over 7 years and 10 months since a major hurricane (category 3+) hit the United States. There has only been one barely a hurricane strike since 2008. Superstorm Sandy was not a hurricane at time of landfall. Hurricanes and tropical systems seem […]

In Warmist World, the cooling Pacific is surely caused by too much heat (Judith Curry) My mind has been blown by a new paper just published in Nature. Just when I least expected it, after a busy day when I took a few minutes to respond to a query from a journalist about a new […]

I’d hazard a guess that it’s because people, like Sunstein’s former boss, The Man With The Largest Carbon Footprint In The World (41,000 metric tons), refuse to practice what they preach. (Bloomberg) With respect to the science of climate change, many experts regard the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as the world’s authoritative institution. A […]

They’re predicting a really cold winter, and, let’s face it, their predictions tend to be quite a bit better than the computer models of Warmists. They also put themselves out there by predicting what’s coming shortly, versus the Warmists that predict 50, 100, 1000 years out (BTW, how’s that “ice free Arctic in 2013” working […]

Apparently they’re stealth hurricanes, since the US mainland has not been hit by a major hurricane since October 24, 2005 (Hurricane enable: How climate change is mixing up bigger, badder storms ) Global warming and hurricanes are like Bourbon Street and Hurricanes: The farther down the road you go, the more intense they get. Buy […]

Al Gore sat down for an interview with the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein, and provides some real howlers. Here’s the part relevant to the headline (via Watts Up With That?) EK: Give me the optimistic scenario on what happens next. If all goes well, what do the next few years look like on this issue? […]

No, really (UK Register) Global warming and climate change are usually thought to mean that world sea levels will rise, perhaps disastrously. But according to US government boffins, in recent times (2010 and 2011, to be precise) phenomena driven by human carbon emissions have actually caused world sea levels to fall. The seas have, of […]

Usually I focus on the politics of “climate change”, throwing in a few facts and scientific data. Here’s a bit of true science I noticed while going through the feedreader (The Hockey Schtick) More bad news for Michael Mann: A new paper published in Climate of the Past finds that ‘modern sample bias’ has “seriously […]

Why? Because you refuse to give up your fossil fueled travel, still have a fridge with an ice maker, and dare to use hair spray before work (UK Guardian) Recent articles in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten (translation available here) and in the Irish Times both ran headlines claiming that another grand solar minimum could potentially […]
