I was very interested in what Don Keiller had to say about Professor Chris Rapley. How dreadful. I have just read Ian Plimer’s Heaven and Earth. A great read. I also read the 46 page criticism of the book by Prof Ian Enting, and then discovered that Ian Enting was one of the lead writers of the IPCC report on Climate Change, so of course he would be bitchy about Plimer, who deserves some kind of Nobel Prize for courage in the face of overwhelming propaganda.

Well,Louise Gray does have a certain approach to her ‘reporting’.Why does the Telegraph persist with a Guardian view?Any comments from other UK folk?

The trouble with the Science Museum these days is it is directed by Professor Chris Rapley. I first met him at British Antartic Survey (BAS) some 12 years ago when he became BAS Director.
His first act was to shut down all areas that were not willing or able to show science that supported Global Warming.

He is no longer a scientist, but a political opportunist- as this “display” shows

Peter Plail (10:42:44) :

The UK also has a history of glorious failures, and Eddy the Eagle is perhaps the silliest and Pen Hadow a close second.

Hey, leave Eddie alone, least he didn’t nearly earn a Darwin!

DaveE.

Yes they both did their things because they believed in it, although one was more delusional than the other and was close to earning a Darwin Award. Whereas Eddie is the best ski jumper in the United Kingdom, setting a British record of 73.5m in one of his Calgary jumps in 1988 (wich still stands and is unlikely of ever being broken) and ended up with a degree in law at De Montfort University in Leicester after/during civil actions against his trustees.

Gary Pearse (10:57:12) :

We’re still alive & kicking. Sadly tho’ the msm & influential elements within society, Met Office, Royal Society, have all been infiltrated by the green left sefl-serving intellectual elite. You know the sort of people, do as I say not as I do. A highly efficient piece of corporate take over. Hopefully over time the tide will once again return to reason, logic, science, oh & that most useful of tools, common sense!

If the British Government were to stop all monies being wasted on “Green” projects we would be on our way to recovery. That and suspending any Carbon Offset/Claptrap trading.

May there be much real snow in Copenhagen in December and little political “Snow”.

There is no climate model that predicts +4.0C globally or +16.0C for the Arctic by 2060.

They are even exagerating their exagerated climate models now.

What scientists would allow this / help this to be produced? We already have one poster thinking it is accurate. That must be the only reason to distort things by so much.

Computer models may be useful for gaining some insight into the climate system, but they should never be used for policy decisions, at least not in their present state.

Meanwhile here is an interesting paper on 50,000 years of climate in British Columbia, Canada as deduced by pollen and chironomid studies. The actual data indicate a very interesting picture of climate change over this huge slice of time. Our present climate does not appear special, but seems downright warm compared to where we were. Also if interest is that it seems to have been cooling overall for the last 4000 years.

And on that theme, shouldn’t the great intelligences that made the cr^H^Hmap be able to spell? (See top dead centre.)

I think the last word in your article is misspelled. Shouldn’t “m” be “cr”?

“Met Office, that predicts temperature rises may reach the dangerous tipping point by 2060″

What happened to tipping points being so close we have to act in 50 days according to the British PM?

How do they estimate rice yields will fall by 30% in Asia and maize/wheat 40% in Africa? With increased CO2, most published studies on increased CO2 crop yield enhancement would be closer to raising yields by similar figures. No, thats not the right message. Plants dont understand whats good for them. We do, for we are government ministers in the science museum, where all the children go to look round at the exhibits and take notes and leaflets back to school. And they have to know why they will pay dearly for their parents wanton fecklessness.

This would be funny except that our children are being taught this stuff in school as fact and science without a contrary point of view. And it must be right because teachers know everything whilst parents don’t. My son’s weekly school newsletter was highlighting the dangerous carbon footprint of some popular lunch snacks and suggesting we buy local produce or grow our own food to lessen the impact.

Never underestimate the power of propaganda. Dare I mention where scaremongering about WMD’s has led us? There was “proof” and “evidence” there too and we took swift and decisive action! History shows that it works and politics today shows the power it carries. AGW has gone beyond a cult – it really does look like its drifting into a new dictatorship with all the trappings of self interested parties including the MSM collaborating. To quote the Vogon in Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy – “Resistance is Useless” endlessly repeated! As compared to “The Science is Settled” repeated endlessly.

This is not conspiracy theory – its just ignorant or willing compliance by people who ask the simple question “does it affect me”? When the answer is “not really”, the result is ignore it and move on.

The backlash will come when people see that their lives will be radically affected. I wouldn’t want to be a climate scientist when that happens. They will be the whipping boys sacrificed to the baying crowd by the very people who exploit them. So Gavin, James, Keith and Phil – don’t say you weren’t warned

If I understand these comments correctly (be patient with me; I’m not a scientist), then AGW is a heap of hooey. I’m good with that, as my world view tells me that I can do anything to the planet without recourse (it’s an effin big place after all!!).

But I do stress about the polar bears… not because they’ve gone missing (never seen any around here!) but because I hear that they taste real good!! Is that right??? Am I evil??? And do I care!!!???
