Very strong presentation from Dr. Maue. His reference is the IPCC report, while Al Gore’s reference is Photoshop.
I did not buy Mosher and Fuller’s book, and I am increasingly glad I did not. They sounded much more like journalists attempting to strike a middle ground lest they lose access to the key players on one side or the other than investigators determined to call a spade a spade. No one who reads the climategate emails and has even a shred of ethics should be anything less than outraged at the behaviour of the “hockey team”. I heard rationalization of the team’s actions where there should instead have been condemnation by Mosher and Fuller.
The one thing they got correct was that the debate is ultimately about sensitivity. On this I would make the point that I have made many times before. If sensitivity was high, we wouldn’t be having this debate, the impact on global temps would be pronounced and unequivocal. It is not, we can barely discern the signal if indeed that is what we are discerning at all. If sensitivity is low, then we have nothing to be alarmed about, and that is precisely what the preponderance of evidence points to.
Great show – look forward to reviewing the parts I haven’t been able to see due to other commitments.
I’m a 40-year career geologist whose specialty can best be described as “regional geology”. I’ve researched a wide range of topical areas across the whole span of geologic time – Early Proterozoic to the Holocene. I’ve done no research directly on either climate change or hydrocabon resources.
QUESTION: Earth has experiened a very wide range of temperature regimes as well as atmospheric CO2 contents over a few billion years of time. NO TIPPING POINT HAS EVER TRANSPIRED. No matter how hot it became (e.g., in the Eocene), it always cooled. No matter how cold it became (e.g., in the Permian), it always warmed back to middle ground.
One could make similar statements about the Pleistocene Ice Ages of the last 2 million years. Think about the T and CO2 curves (from ice-core data) showcased in Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”. Every interglacial warm period ended (i.e., persistent cooling began) when CO2 was at its highest level. Equally, every glacial period ended (i.e., warming began rapidly) when CO2 was at its lowest level.
In face of these data, how can any sentient being conclude that CO2 is a major player in temperature history? How can any credible scientist assert that sensitivity is high and that “tipping points” exist? Billions of years of earth history show that feedbacks must be dominantly negative and that Earth is perfectly capable of moderating its own temperature and atmospheric compsition.
David, excellent presentation.
What do you think of the proposition that the primary cause of 20th century warming is reduced aerosols and particulates, and the increased solar insolation from decreased aerosol seeded clouds, which have declined in line (in the developed world) with temperature rises. As evidence for this I point to India, where aerosol/particulate pollution has substantially increased and temperatures generally declined over the 20th century, except during the monsoon which washes aerosols out of the atmosphere?
should have added that my sound is through speakers connected to the tv, so i cannot simply click the mute button, but must get up and go over to the speaker controls. yes, i could detach the speakers, but won’t be cos i have everything set up just as i want and have never exerienced such a vast volume difference before.
Dr. David Evans: The ARGO chart showing Predictions vs. Reality was scaled at 0.01 degree. Can the ARGO buoys actually measure temperature to that degree? If not, would it not cast aspersions over a ‘Reality’ plot on the graph? I mean, what are the error bars on the Reality line?
The Dr. David Evans presentation is just stunning. Wonderfully done.
I’m really enjoying this ! Thank you Anthony and all of your contributors.
Inre the economic and power disparity between skeptics and warmists in Dr. David Evans slide:
This is now being addressed by using “non-profit” and “charity” organizations to advance the same science. But charities can accept anonymous gifts and matching grants while claiming independence from influence. I don’t mind but no halo. Also, there is an organized effort to actually create more “citizen scientists” by the National Science Foundation.

final paragraphs
Ack! Around 1:30AM EST I was trying to reload this page, but there was a “too long to respond” error. Tried again, got “can’t connect” error. Tried to load main page at different tab, still not working. The site was gone!
And I had just reported about Curry’s WordPress site being down, and now Anthony’s WordPress site is gone…
Did the Minions of Gore decide NOW was the Great Day of Reckoning, during their High Priest’s marathon revival service, and begun shutting down the sites of heretics and apostates?
But then about 1:34 WUWT was loading again.
Anthony, did you overload WordPress?
Dr. David Evans:
Wow.
Jo,
Is the title of your talk an allusion to the German Novel, Die Andere Seite. A favourite of mine BTW. In the novel, idealist people move to a new city where initially everything seemed wonderful and progressive, but it descends into a nightmare.
This has been great! Anthony I am so pleased with how this has worked. A few kinks here and there, but the info is coming across.
I just finished watching Dr. Evans’ and Joanne Nova’s time and it was THE BEST so far. I was actually excited for when this gets released by you on YouTube.
I look forward to spreading these videos around and showing the facts. SO GOOD!
These videos, especially those done in the style of Dr. Evans, are extremely important in reaching a larger audience. I will proudly write about and display these on my blog.
Thanks again!
Anthony–Dr. David Evan’s presentation was absolutely outstanding and I’d love for there to be a downloadable recording. Will there be a recording available? Would it be accessible from the resources section, perhaps?
This entire presentation is absolutely astounding. I will have to view the rest of it post presentation.
Very well done Anthony!
Getting perfect reception on my wireless broadband here in Canberra, Australia.
Great stuff so far. The David Evans ‘primer’ was brilliant – needs to be seen more widely by the general public.
Help, i get the ads but then the player crashes. tried the alternate link – no joy. does anyone have any ides?
Congratulations, love to be watching but I haven’t paid for a BBC Licence so I can’t watch live (true, not ‘Sarc’ at all).
“curryja.wordpress.com is no longer available.

This looks suspicious.
I doubt if the BBC seminar would have arrived at their conclusion about the ‘settled science’ had the guys you interviewed been present in 2006. On the other had the heads of BBC comedy, drama, political programming, Church of England were present so perhaps they had already arrived at their conclusion.
Hope all goes well in presenting the other side’s view as the BBC promised to do in “From Seesaw to Wagon Wheel: safeguarding impartiality in the 21st century” – oh the irony.
Brilliant work, Antony and all your guests
Thanks so much for doing this!!! Thanks to all the presenters, too!!!
anthony , it is pretty obviously that the next step is to tidy up the digital copies of this stuff…package with the pdfs, presentations etc. …. then the mortals can listen to these over a couple of week period..
Someone please make PM David Cameron and his Cabinet watch/listen to Burt Rutan/WUWT/Telecast
Dave Evans presentation was first class. He covered a lot of ground on the data, the theories, the models and their missed prediction, and the politics – why all this matters. “Follow the money” It would be difficult to find anything to cut to make a shorter presentation. It is all good stuff.
So I hesitate to suggest something missing. One of the strongest skeptical arguments is, “Suppose the earth IS warming because of CO2. Why is that a bad thing?” Let’s imaging a future where the Earth warms by 2 deg C on average. And another future where it cools 2 deg C. Which future has crop failures? Which future do people starve. Do more people die in the hotter future or the colder futures? The Alarmists jump from higher CO2 to higher temps to worse environment with no data and 100% faith.
I enjoyed seeing Jo Nova’s cameo. It s good to get to know the players in the varsity squad.
