Was the Medieval Warm Period Global? (PDF)
(Science, Volume 291, Number 5508, pp. 1497-1499, February 2001)
– Wallace S. Broecker
“The Little Ice Age and the subsequent warming were global in extent. Several Holocene fluctuations in snowline, comparable in magnitude to that of the post-Little Ice Age warming, occurred in the Swiss Alps. Borehole records both in polar ice and in wells from all continents suggest the existence of a Medieval Warm Period. Finally, two multidecade-duration droughts plagued the western United States during the latter part of the Medieval Warm Period. I consider this evidence sufficiently convincing to merit an intensification of studies aimed at elucidating Holocene climate fluctuations, upon which the warming due to greenhouse gases is superimposed.”

So here is an example of peer review, taken from
http://ff.org/centers/csspp/pdf/20070226_monckton.pdf
Another example of elementary arithmetical inaccuracy occurs on page 3 of
the Summary for Policymakers as originally published. The 2,500 scientists of
the IPCC make the following alarmist statement, which has been widely and
uncritically quoted by journalists worldwide:
“The carbon dioxide radiative forcing increased by 20% from 1995 to
2005.”
In December 1995 CO2 concentration at Mauna Loa was 360ppmv, and in
December 2005 it was 379ppmv, an increase of 19ppmv. That is not 20%. It
is 5%. However, the forcing from this increase is considerably less than 5%,
because each additional quantum of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
has less warming effect than its predecessors: the temperature effect of
increased carbon dioxide concentrations is not linear but logarithmic. Using
the UN’s own logarithmic CO2 forcing formula, δF = 5.3 ln(C / C0) (IPCC,
1995, 2001, 2007) and taking C0 as unity, the total natural and
anthropogenic forcing from CO2 to 1995 was 5.3 ln(360 / 1) = 31.20 wm-2,
only one-fifth of the 148-wm-2 natural greenhouse effect. CO2 forcing to 2005
was 5.3 ln (380 / 1) = 31.48 watts per square metre. The increase in
forcing was thus just 0.28 wm-2, or just over 1%. We may summarize the
breathtaking magnitude of this erroneous exaggeration as follows:
1995-2005: UN’s stated increase in CO2 forcing: 20%
1995-2005: Increase in concentration of CO2: 5%
1995-2005: Increase in CO2 forcing effect: 1%
This 20-fold exaggeration of the increase in the radiative forcing effect of
atmospheric CO2 has been quietly removed from the revised version of the
Summary for Policymakers.
So it seems that peer reviewing is unaccountable or selective, and is no guarantee of veracity
Phil Clarke:
Yet, you post here. May I take a guess as to why you post here? Thank you:
You post here because WUWT is the “Best Science” site on the internet. It gets much more traffic than the propaganda site realclimate, which routinely censors posts that question its AGW orthodoxy. It is all alarmism, all the time. It is an echo chamber, where the same posters tell each other the same thing 24/7, and the owners and moderators censor opposing points of view.
So I would like to ask your opinion. Since you, and any warmist for that matter, may freely post here without being censored, and since numerous posters here have commented many times over the last couple of years that that their polite but AGW-skeptical posts have been deleted by realclimate without comment, or were held permanently in moderation and were never allowed to be seen, would you agree that realclimate fears honest, open debate?
And further, would you agree that if one side in a debate goes so far as to engage in the deliberate censorship of the opposing side’s arguments, that those doing the censoring know that their own arguments are so weak and full of holes that they feel they must silence any contrary opinion? And doesn’t that amount to propaganda?
Just wondering what you think of the censorship situation. You don’t even have to respond. But if you do answer, please, no prevaricating. Take a stand. What they are doing is either right, or wrong. No equivocating or waffling [and to be fair, it’s not only realclimate; censorship of scientifically skeptical arguments is typical of many alarmist blogs, while skeptics’ sites generally allow all points of view].
Dave Wendt,
You mention in passing the creationist spin on geology… which seems to me a FAR more appropriate comparison to what I’m seeing in AGW circles. And yes, I am going to go there.
As I understand it, the idea is that all of the geologic processes that need explaining now require explaining within a context of a 6000 year old planet. That means 17 million year formations are out of the question. Similarly, in AGW all warming or unusual climate that needs explaining must be explained by CO2 or Methane or CFCs or whatever else is somehow an anthropogenic GHG.
These constraints make a theory untenable and ludicrous to outside observers, but appear completely consistent to their followers. I know some of my parents’ peers would argue almost to the death for the entire “young earth” idea, however to me the evidence is not even remotely credible.
Yes, Credibility is a major factor to me. I would rather listen to a radical longhaired rebel who can’t spell properly and made a few minor arithmetic mistakes in a paper than read the 532nd tree ring proxy paper based on the same faulty data, when it comes from a highly financed well known institution that has already demonstrated they are a politically driven organization. To me, the guy fresh out of the field may have more credibility than the guy whose farthest venture from his office is to the cafeteria for lunch.
MANY people here have continually noted that ALL “skeptics” are marginalized, shouted down, and are the subject of jokes. In contrast, the only warmists I have animosity toward are the Al Gore, James Hansen types, who deliberately and intentionally go for attention. And worse, are directly profiting from the scare (none of this shadowy “oil money” connection crap, please, it’s not even the faintest bit credible).
Smokey – you have failed to answer my questions, and indulged yourself in many of the debating sins you accuse me of, such as appeal to authority, and ad hom arguments. ..but, since you ask
I congratulate WUWT on winning the Science Blog of the Year award, and its strong showing in the nominations this year ( I see Denial Depot is in third place ). Does this make it the best Science blog? Well, no it makes it the most popular blog in the Science category, ( hint: most scientists are able to read a simple phase diagram ) winning, if memory serves, with about 14K votes in a poll that permitted multiple votes. For no good reason at all this recent WUWT comment comes to mind…
“I have a dozen quite legitimate e-mail addresses (personal and business) and I’ve just used each one ….
Anyhow, Since you, and any warmist for that matter, may freely post here without being censored
Tell that to those who have been banned from posting. How would you characterise this? To me it looks very much like a poster being censored, and falsely accused. Ho hum.
I post at RC also, as pjclarke, and I would not describe moderation there as perfect either, however, as Joel has pointed out, it is a characteristic of many contrarians that they carry on repeating arguments long after they have been discredited, simply turning up the volume. Witness Ian Plimer trotting out the volcanoes-emit-more-CO2-than-people nonsense yet again. How many times must the CO2-lags-temp rebuttal be repeated?
Indeed how many times must the absurd claim that a shortlived cooling or flattening of the temp curve falsifies AGW be batted back over the net? Temperatures did not describe a perfectly straight flat line pre-industrialisation, so how does the lack of a perfectly straight upwardly sloping line contradict the existence of a gradually-acting greenhouse gas forcing now? Have La Nina and El Nino ceased? The solar cycle come to a halt? Of course not. Contrary to your repeated cherry-pick, the average temperature now is about 0.5C warmer than it was in the seventies and we have just experienced the warmest July-October on record, in the middle of a solar minimum. Ho hum.
So one can hardly blame RC if they snip posts making the same tired old arguments, or attempts to derail the thread, their comments policy is more focussed than WUWT, its true, as befits a site dedicated to scientific discussion, however I would be interested in any examples of posts being deleted in breach of their stated policy, especially points 3 through 7. Are you aware of any such examples?
I am not really interested in a ‘Is RealClimate Better that WUWT’ discussion. They serve different markets and have different goals. If I want a considered discussion of a development in climate science, from climate scientists, I go to RC. If I want to see Al Gore ridiculed for making a trivial slip on a TV chatshow, I come here.

I’ve posted the link to this list on several blogs & it drives the pro AGWer’s completely nuts. Down falls another of their blatant lies – ‘there is no peer reviewed science that rejects AGW’. Of course their natural retort is to say the papers were written by those on industry payrolls, but that double edged sword seems to cut deeper on their pro stance than the anti as they roll in the govt. funded research funds.

I think the Antarctica co2 thread demonstrated a transparent problem solving approach. I seem to remember I even congratulated you on your part in it and I have also sided with Joel on occasions. I have also commented on Plimers dubious volcanoes data myself.
You and other warmists constantly confuse sceptics with deniers. Most of us have got here from a position of believing initially in the science but have had cause to subsequently doubt it. It is a rational thought process despite what you may think.
Personally I enjoy yours and Joels input but you both seem to think we are irrational and can be easily fobbed off with half baked data. Most of the papers cited here that I have read seem reasonable-that does not mean to say that everything is though.

Jag har inte varit på den här bloggen så länge men känner redan hur jag börjar tröttna. Jag trodde att klimatskeptikerna (till vilka jag åtminstone delvis räknade mig själv innan) ville ta reda på vad som faktiskt händer med klimatet. Men så verkar inte vara fallet, utan det primära målet är att visa att IPCC har fel. Jag har inte orkat läsa genom mer än en tiondel av artiklarna här men dom handlar ju nästan uteslutande om att IPCCs klimatmodeller inte ger rätta prediktioner. Vissa lyfter även fram andra förklaringar, vilka ofta också kan vara antropogena men inte nödvändigtvis direkt kopplade till koldioxid. Många handlar om tolkningar av osäkra och svårtolkade data där man måste gör urval och i princip så kan man göra urval efter vad man vill visa (även om alla naturligtvis nogrant redogör för hur detta är kontrollerat för, gäller för övrigt även de artiklar som förespråkar AWG). Ingen artikel har ännu så länge lämnat en bättre förklaring än den som ges i IPCC4-rapporten (men det är ju förstås min subjektiva bedömning). Flera är bara skeptiska på en viss punkt eller till en viss del mot IPCCs bedömning, men det genomgående är att klimatmodellerna är fel.
Självklart är dom fel, jag kan utan att sticka ut hakan särskilt mycket påstå att det finns ingen i dag i världen som skulle kunna göra en simulering över utvecklingen av hela jordens klimat i hela atmosfären utan att få med ganska grova fel. Det finns för många okända varibler och för många felkällor. Detta är inget konstigt alls så länge man är medveten om det. Om inte forskarna i fältet är allt för polariserade i olika läger så blir ju varje ny rapport som hittar en avvikelse från modellen ett steg närmare att förstå hur verkligheten egentligen fungerar. Med denna kunskap rätt använd så kan man kontinuerligt förfina modellerna så att simuleringarna blir rätt någonstans.
Men det är uppenbart att här är för mycket pengar och politik inblandat för att en konflikt inte ska uppstå. Inläggen här handlar ju långt i från endast om koldioxidens skuld eller inte, här idiot- och inkompetensförklaras alla som verkar ha en åsikt för AGW (vetenskapsmän, politiker, journalister eller de förhatliga ekonomiprofessorerna). I vissa fall ifrågsätts att vi överhuvud taget skulle ha en klimatförändring.
Men så märklig kan väl inte den åsikten vara ändå? Det är väl bara att gå utomhus och se vad som händer, har ni provat det? Själv har jag i olika former i jobbet (i och utanför universitetet) eller på fritiden noterat att våren kommer tidigare för varje år, det sker en förändring i såväl vegetationsammansättningar som i faunan. Tveklöst sker en förskjutning av klimatzonerna norrut. Häckla på bara men isen smälter och havet stiger, kanske inte med alamerande hastighet men inte desto mindre så sker det. Om någon mot förmodan skulle vara intresserad av att få detaljer så hör av er.
Phil Clarke,
Well, I gave you a great opportunity, and you blew it. I asked for a simple Yes, or a No, or Ignore. Instead, you prevaricated. I knew you would. That’s why I warned you about it.
FYI, there are way too many folks here who have been censored from RC for it to have anything to do with their vague rules. Face it, they censor contrary opinion.
I posted upthread, in the link titled More Fraudulent Censorship at RealClimate multiple examples of typical RC censorship. That kind of censorship goes on at realclimat All. The. Time. [BTW, I just ran across that site today for the first time.]
Some folks were also commenting here a while back that tamino, or maybe it was climateprogress, removed all the vowels from their posts. They pasted examples, too. Try reading a few paragraphs sans vowels. Maybe you could explain that, too, while you’re being RC’s apologist.
Realclimate censors non-alarmist points of view for the same reason that Gavin Schmidt tucks his tail between his porky legs and runs off yelping whenever he’s challenged to a debate by a prominent skeptic: they don’t have the facts to support their weak AGW conjecture. All they have are computer models and papers written by grant hounds citing papers written by other grant hounds in a mutual circular citation-fest. What they don’t have is empirical evidence.
Climate catastrophe is a half baked invention designed to extract the maximum number of $Billions from unsuspecting taxpayers. But the planet is laughing at their hubris: as CO2 rises, the globe is cooling. Explain that. Hey, maybe that non-existent global warming is hidden in some mysterious pipeline we haven’t checked yet. Sure. Maybe that’s it.
You go right ahead and believe that RC doesn’t heavily censor comments that contradict their True Beliefs. We know better. Until the frightened Gavin Schmidt works up the nerve to publicly debate someone like Monckton [who will easily rub his nose in the playground sand in front of the whole world], his only recourse is to continue censoring opposing points of view.
You’ve got some HE-RO there, Phil. Whatta guy, eh?
It is unfortunate that so many sources have been misrepresented here, and that so many irrelevant and refuted papers are present. I cannot understand why long lists of nonsense are a recurring theme for skeptics, such as “petitions” which are bankrupt in quality. Furthermore, the science is still waiting for one “legitimate” argument against AGW.
Anthony, I really don’t understand why you continue to sink yourself lower in the ground by posting this stuff.
Det sker ovasett om det är drivet av människans aktiviteter eller inte och det kommer definitivt att påverka oss om utveckligen fortsätter. Effekten av att klimatzonerna förskjuts kommer oavsett vad som anses om koldioxidens positiva egenskaper för växter att bli dramatisk och något vi måste anpassa oss till exempelvis då det gäller vattenhushållning och livsmedelsproduktion.
Det finns en del av mig som inte bryr sig särskilt mycket om varför klimatet ändras men som tycker att det viktiga är att vi anpassar oss till det. Skälet är att jag egentligen inte har särskilt stor tillit till att vi skulle kunna lösa problemet även om AGW hypotesen är helt korrekt. Så oavsett om det är människan eller naturen så behöver vi anpassa oss. Mitt intresse i att få reda på vad som egentligen sker är för att få en uppfattning om hur mycket vi kommer att behöva anpassa oss. Är processen helt naturlig så finns chansen att den naturligt klingar av och att detta går att förutsäga, gäller AGW är vi rökta =).
Jag har läst massor de senaste månaderna, men inte blivit särdeles mycket klokare i klimatfrågan även om jag lärt mig en hel del. Sedan jag upptäckte denna bloggen så måste jag ju säga att jag förvånas över skeptiskernas argumentationsteknik. Väldigt aggresiv och mycket tyckande, detta förvånar mig. Jag hade förväntat mig att det skulle vara mycket argument understödda av forskning. Men där är det snarast AGW-sidan som framstår saklig (därmed inte sagt att de har rätt), sedan måste ni sätta stopp för G. Ribbing. Det är en katastrof för trovärdigheten när man tar “vilka artiklar som helst” och felciterar dem för att lyfta fram sitt budskap. Det kanske fungerar för stunden i pressen, men att bli pulvriserad gång på gång gör att åtminstone jag tappar förtroendet.
chriscolose,
It is unfortunate that you can’t wrap your head around the fact that scientific skeptics have nothing to prove.
The CO2=CAGW hypothesis has been run up the flag pole, and they expect everyone to salute it. Sorry about that, but unless the proponents provide empirical, measurable facts showing that a given increase in CO2 results in a given temperature increase, that hypothesis fails.
There’s a reason they claim that every weather event, every polar bear, every mosquito in Alaska and every three headed frog discovered is proof of AGW: because they have no empirical, reproducible, falsifiable evidence that CO2 causes measurable global warming, or that CO2 is a problem.
But their silly excuses are fun to watch.
chriscolose (15:30:50) :
Yeah, it’s kind of like claims that “99.44 % of climate scientists agree” or thereabouts.
Complete waste of time.

“Over the past 20 years the solar cycle remains fully apparent in variations both of tropospheric air temperature and of ocean subsurface water temperature. […]
When the response of the climate system to the solar cycle is apparent in the troposphere and ocean, but not in the global surface temperature, one can only wonder about the quality of the surface temperature record. For whatever reason, it is a poor guide to Sun-driven physical processes that are still plainly persistent in the climate system. […]
…one cannot distinguish between the effects of anthropogenic gases such as carbon dioxide and of natural greenhouse gases. For example, increased evaporation means that infrared radiation from water vapor, by far the most important greenhouse gas, will tend to provide positive feedback for any global warming, … In any case, the most recent global temperature trend is close to zero.”

And you really think the following, “Solar cycle variability may therefore play a significant role in regional surface temperatures…”
I don’t believe I have to post more than this phrase for anyone to clearly see why this supports skepticism.
“Have you addressed the question of why you included ice age CO2-lag references?”
I thought this one was obvious, if temperatures are rising before CO2 then clearly CO2 is not responsible for the rise in temperature. (yes I have heard the excuses on this)
Phil Clarke (14:38:06) :
“Temperatures did not describe a perfectly straight flat line pre-industrialisation, so how does the lack of a perfectly straight upwardly sloping line contradict the existence of a gradually-acting greenhouse gas forcing now?”
Because if there is something out there which is powerful enough to stop greenhouse forcing, even potentially temporarily, in its tracks, and we don’t know what it is, it calls into question whether we have fingered the right culprit.
Well Smokey, inter alia I asked you which of the papers listed above delivered the killer blow to the AGW hypothesis, and I also asked you for an example of RealClimate ‘censorship’ that was in breach of that blog’s published comment policy. Can we expect an answer to either challenge anytime soon?
Bluster, however, we have in abundance. Well, I gave you a great opportunity, and you blew it. I asked for a simple Yes, or a No, or Ignore. Instead, you prevaricated. I knew you would. That’s why I warned you about it.
Nope. Anyone with reasonable reading comprehension can see that my answer was No.
FYI, there are way too many folks here who have been censored from RC for it to have anything to do with their vague rules. Face it, they censor contrary opinion.
Name three of them. Ah, but you won’t, will you?
Some folks were also commenting here a while back that tamino, or maybe it was climateprogress, removed all the vowels from their posts.
What colour is the sky in your world, Smokey?
Gavin Schmidt tucks his tail between his porky legs and runs off yelping whenever he’s challenged to a debate
That’ll be an ad hominem argument then. Here is Gavin ‘running away’ from debate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGa6_k00Cus
as CO2 rises, the globe is cooling. Explain that.
Just as soon as you provide some evidence for a cooling globe. While we are waiting, perhaps you could explain this?
Frankly, Smokey, I am struggling to find a definition of the word troll that doesn’t cover your style of ‘debate’. Can you help me out?
“It is unfortunate that so many sources have been misrepresented here, and that so many irrelevant and refuted papers are present. I cannot understand why long lists of nonsense are a recurring theme for skeptics,”
None of the sources have been misrepresented, none are irrelevant and the existence of a “refutation” does not make a paper invalid.
What I cannot understand is why so many alarmists are rabidly posting about something that they claim is irrelevant.
If anyone has an interest, “Måns B” is writing in Swedish. Here is a translator service. It’s a little spotty, but you’ll probably get the gist.
Just a few posts back you criticised me for cited non-peer-reviewed sources, yet here you are relying on an article published by the Friends of Science. Did it see the light of day in an actual scientific journal? No, I thought not.
Once again, I fear I must correct you, regarding Paper (7), contrary to your assertion, the article I referred you to described a paper in the peer-reviewed literature. Google Scholar may be useful.
cheers,
PC.
I am just beginning an Environmental Science Degree and have been interested in finding information about AGW and how much of the science is fact. I approached the matter as a person who believed that we had contributed somewhat to warming as there has been some warming going on in my lifetime.
In order to find information, I started searching the net for different sites and – primarily – for sites that contained recent information (ie not with articles that most recent date were 5 or more years ago) as I believe science is always changing and expanding, more recent articels would be more beneficial.
I have seen many people both here, and at RC who are stating we should rely on real world observations and evidence. This I have attempted to do to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately(or fortunately depending on your view), attempting to research this science and using blogs like RC, WUWT, ClimateAudit and any other site that happens to pop up under searches in google for Global Warming (including sites such as 350.org coming to mind) and downloading and trying to make it through parts of reports such as the IPCC 2007 report and any techincal paper I see linked, I have started to fall squarely in the sceptic/denial side of events.
This has happened because of several factors;
a) No matter how hard I look, (and I have followed and tried to read an awefull lot of papers and “evidence”) I am still having trouble finding evidence that supports AGW. I have seen papers state the forcing believed to occur from lab tests, and I have seen data that shows we have warmed a little over the last 100 years. What I have been unable to find, is sufficient evidence that warming recently is un-natural. As a lay person I don;t even know how its possible to separate a warming of at most 0.7 degrees over the last 100 years over the natural changes of the last few millenia or especially going back further in history.
b) I have been completely and utterly turned off sites such RC and one or two other pro-AGW blogs. I spent hours combing through reports, entries and comments on RC only to constantly see the owners of that site belittling, insulting and being completely dismissive of any comment posted that disagrees with a conclusion that they have made. The reason I do not like that blog has now nothing to do with climate science at all – simply that the “Scientists” on the site come across so completely arrogant that I no longer have any faith in what they say – even if what they say is true. In addition, because I like trying to get all sides, I went to the link by someone above – http://chriscolose.wordpress.com/2009/03/31/lindzen-on-climate-feedback/#comment-591 – and thought ok, a blog I hadn’t yet heard of, whats this one like?
I then spent the last half hour reading both the main article this comment link was based on, and then as many of the comments as I could get through focusing on the responses by the owner and once again I find the same complete dismissal and arrogance coming through as I found in RC and once again I have been completely turned off a blog.
The reason that I am posting this is because I am still not sure what affect if any AGW has on climate. I keep following these discussions and links hoping to get a clearer picture. However I also understand how so many people are jumping behind sceptical views of AGW. As person who really doesn’t have any degree currently or experience, or high math skills, I am required to trust the scientist’s behind these reports. In other words, I cannot critique papers, or see flaws in equations, all I can do have faith in the person doing the work that they are experienced and know what they are talking about and if the idea that AGW is going to cause so many issues, I have to be certain that I can trust these scientists that they are using the data properly and that as a scientist are open to both points of view, even when their personal feelings may lie in one direction or the other. Unfortunately, the attitude and dirisive nature of the majority of posts on pro AGW sites have left me feeling like I cannot trust these scientists as far as I could throw them – which then makes my not trust their results whether its true or not.
I have seen many people comment that this Blog or ClimateAudit contains biased or not complete data (which could be said really for both blogs), but the reason I have now stuck more to reading these is because the discussions taking place seem to be about the science and not their opinions of the science. Post after post on ClimateAudit has people taking the initial post, subjecting it to their own questions, resubmitting their own data, having their data looked at and critisized and for the vast majority of posts seems to have people whos only interest is to find the best use, and most accurate use of the data provided. In comparison to the two previous pro-AGW blogs, makes for a more inviting atmosphere and a place where I can ask questions.
I know for instance that if I have an issue with climate science, I can ask here or at ClimateAudit and I will likely get 3 or 4 helpfull responses attempting to clarify proceedures, data and answers. Quite frankly I cannot even stomach to post a question on RC because I feel all I will get is a comment that comes accross as “don;t be an idiot, look at the research” – something I have been trying to do for weeks.
As this is a wall of text I will sum it up, I am concerned about both sides of this argument. If the AGW theory turns out to be not as bad or even not accurate at all of real world situation then we have wasted so much time and effort that could have been put to use erradicating the plethora of other human issues plaguing the world. If on the other hand there is a large issue, pro-AGW scientists need to stop having such a high and might attitude in relation to the topic because it really is not helping promote the cause. In addition, this constant look at the data see for yourself response is also not helping because I have tried and am coming to the “wrong” conclusion according to the “mainstream” view. I find it then highly ironic that after attempting to look at the research, I come away with questions only to be told I am an idiot and look at the research o_O.
Poptech,
Sorry, but articles about “Claim of Largest Flood on Record Proves False” has nothing to do with the reality of AGW. It is a distraction. You have distorted the work of Caillon et al, of Bond et al, Monnin et al, etc, etc, etc on the ice core record, as anyone can see if they simply read them. You have misrepresented some of the work by Camp and Tung on solar influences. You seem to think that a paper on anything, such as a glacier recession being due to precipitation rather than temperature, is a “skeptical view.” It isn’t. You have misrepresented papers by Mayewski, Shindell, Winter, etc. You’ve misrepresented the Tsonis paper, as can be shown by the article In fact, it is harder to find something on this list which actually does present a “skeptical view” than one that doesn’t. Other resources such as “Energy and Environment” are not acceptable by general academic standards, while others such as Gerlich and Tscheuschner make the most ridiculous claims (e.g., the greenhouse effect violates thermodynamics) which is contrary to other papers you list. In short, you have intentionally lied to a large audience of people who you know will not take extensive time out to check the sources, but will simply be marveled at a big number like “450.” Sorry, but I do not think that this is acceptable, which is why this page should be removed. If not, I recommend many of these authors (such as the ones I have listed) be contacted to see if the interpretation here is consistent with the paper, and I assure you many of them will not be happy.
I have no problem interacting with “skpetics,” but if you are going to resort to academic dishonesty to get any semblance of a “viewpoint” that you have across, it’s just not worth it.
Michael R,
It is this type of behavior I have outlined above which is why many scientists are “frustrated” with the denial community. They have offered nothing of substance aside from smoke screens, errors, cherry-picked data, etc with a non-technical target audience. I have no interest in defending ‘AGW’ here (which is simply the consequence of basic physics, and it has shown to hold remarkable explanatory and predictive power in the literature). I am simply pointing out the ease at which commenters here can become confused by impressive lists which are lacking any substance.
“Just a few posts back you criticised me for cited non-peer-reviewed sources, yet here you are relying on an article published by the Friends of Science. Did it see the light of day in an actual scientific journal? No, I thought not.”
FOS did not publish it, they just have a copy of the PDF available. (I link to it there because the DNSC link gets changed frequently)
Here is the link from the Danish National Space Center,
Reply to Lockwood and Fröhlich – The persistent role of the Sun in climate forcing (PDF)
Which carries slightly more credibility than a blog.
Regarding (7) if you have a paper link to it.
Poptech (16:41:36) :
“None of the sources have been misrepresented, none are irrelevant and the existence of a “refutation” does not make a paper invalid.”
No, the mere existence of a refutation doesn’t make a paper invalid. One would have to look at the entire context of the topic, read/understand the other literature in that field, and make a judgment. Anyway, you’re just making a simple list, not making any statement on whether the paper makes a useful contribution; for that purpose it doesn’t actually matter if the paper has some obvious flaw to it. If it said 1+1=3 and managed to get published someplace, it’s perfectly your prerogative to include it.
By the way, even papers that turn out to be flawed in some way can still be useful contributions. That’s the nature of science – things get refined over time. I’ll put the original Lindzen iris paper in that hat – a perfectly plausible mechanism, when it was proposed.
In order to make a more useful contribution, you might write an actual literature review, instead of a simple list. In such a review, you could also describe the substance of the comments and replies; as it is, counting replies just looks like padding the list.
Misrepresented? Including something by Shindell just because it says solar activity can influence the climate? In that case, the entire IPCC report is a sceptic work, too. We all know the sun can influence the climate; the question is, to what extent has it recently done so? Have you addressed why the ice age lag papers are included? Given how that’s mainstream science, I don’t see how you can claim it as being sceptic.
Oh well. It’s your work. You can make it as informative (or not) as you wish.
Phil Clarke,
Thanks so much for posting Mr RealClimate’s segment of that debate. As I’ve pointed out more than once here, Gavin Schmidt went into that debate a heavy favorite, and he came out of it the loser:
That’s a huge turnaround. And that debate was 2 1/2 years ago. Gavin Schmidt has run away from any more neutral, moderated debates ever since. [And he preposterously blamed his loss on the fact that he’s short! You could look it up in the WUWT archives.]
Picking the segment showing the loser of the debate was pretty lame, you gotta admit [well, you don’t have to admit it. It was still lame.] The Crichton segment just prior to it got 300% more views.
Turning around an audience that voted 2 – 1 in the alarmists’ favor — based only on the facts presented — is the same reason that the general public is starting to see that CO2=CAGW is a pig in a poke. And they’re starting to not buy it.
Thanx for the reminder of that great debate! Made my day.
Michael R (17:06:49) :
“…simply that the “Scientists” on the site come across so completely arrogant that I no longer have any faith in what they say – even if what they say is true.”
You and a lot of other people, Michael. There is a tale told of the missionary among the aborigines, who spoke to them of Heaven where people strummed harps and sang all day, and of the eternal hellfire and damnation that awaited them if they shunned The Lord. One native spoke to the man and asked, “Are you going to heaven”? “Oh, yes,” replied the missionary. “I expect to embrace St. Peter personally at the Pearly Gates.” “Then,” replied the native, “I think I will go to Hell.”
