Climate alarmists caught goofing up their claims about ocean warming.

in #informationwar5 years ago

These guys are atypical, in that, when they were proved wrong they were quite open about it, admitted their mistake, and walked it back properly, but this stuff just keeps on happening. Ever since the famous "hockey stick" graph was proven a hoax two decades ago, there have been plenty of incidents of proven fraud-- up to and including captured emails of climate alarmists discussing "cooking results"-- that it is beyond belief that elites keep pushing this garbage.

With this week's roll-out of "The Green New Deal" by a freshman U.S. Representative and her snowflake friends (after announcing that the world will end in 12 years,) and the 13th weekend of protests against carbon taxes in the streets of Paris turning violent, you would think elite Malthusians at the United Nations and their minions in Western governments would realize the gig is up. But, somehow they keep soldiering on, peddling their "science" as if they had never been proven fraudulent. The biggest greenhouse gas may indeed be the ludicrous pontifications that are still emanating from their throats (and other places.)

Here is a link to the latest climate alarmist screw-up and their comeuppance:

As I said, for once, these people were very gracious and forthcoming about their mistake, but that doesn't make taking their word for it that the world is coming to an end any less silly.

I am old enough to remember reading "Population Explosion" by an early generation of Malthusians when they were insisting we would never make it to the new millenium, because they world's crop potential and other resources simply would never be able to support the population increases. I can also remember these same people predicting a global ice age, before they said we were all going to burn to death from global warming, to... Who knows what the real claim is today, other than that we need to end all industrial activity and tax everyone outside the 1/10% of 1% into oblivion in order to save the planet today.

These people may be well-intended. They may actually have the interests of the masses at heart. But they ar still DANGEROUSLY MISLED, and dangerous.

By the way, I believe in climate change. There is no question that climate change is real and that it is always ongoing. That's one scientific principle we can all agree on. But the people are not responsible for it. There was climate change going on when they name Greenland, "green" and "Vinland" (modern New Foundland) "grape country" a thousand years ago when global populations were a tenth of what they are today, and the climate is changing again today.

DEAL WITH IT, SNOWFLAKES.

But leave my freedoms and my hard-earned money alone.

Thanks for the link to the article. The fact that these scientists were looking to measure the temperature of the ocean by the amount of different gases that come from the water seems a bit strange? Why not just use the direct measurements.

Maybe they should read some of the research on gas compositions coming from ice core samples. These techniques have been able to show an increase in carbon dioxide and global temperatures before the start of an ice age. You know, before man was destroying the planet by burning all the fossil fuels.

Ah...I knew there was a reason I loved you Mike...always digging deeper for the embedded truths!

If we were only paying attention to real scientists on this subject it would all go away.

Thousands of real scientists don't buy the idea of anthropomorphic climate change, or think the impact of it is negligible an/or vastly overstated by alarmists.

You're right, my friend.
