We Need a Name for the Imaginary Planet Simulated by Climate Models for the IPCC

Guest Post by Bob Tisdale

I recently ran across an article by Chelsea Harvey for BusinessInsider. It was the title that grabbed my attention: This Map Shows How Climate Change Will Screw The Whole World. Not just parts of the world, the “Whole World”. Wow. Interest piqued, I discovered she was referring to Figure 2.4 from the IPCC’s Climate Change 2014 Synthesis Report (longer report), shown below. It appears to be the same as Figure SPM.8 from the 2014 Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers. The author described the map of future risks as a “handy chart”. I love handy charts.

IPCC SYR Full Figure 2.4

The map resembles the planet Earth, where most of us reside. The continents are in the right places, and so are the oceans. But we know that’s not the Earth. The risks illustrated are based on climate models, and we know that climate models used by the IPCC for their reports are not based on Earth’s actual climate, as it has existed in the past, or as it exists now. The maps output by climate models may resemble our Earth, but they’re fantasy maps of a fantasy world. They create nothing more than an illusion…an illusion that is intended to make it look like bad things will happen in the future if we all do not agree to reduce our carbon footprints.

We need a name for the imaginary planet simulated by climate models—a planet that looks like Earth, but is not Earth. I’ll propose the climate-modeled planet be called TurnsToCrap. No matter how the modelers present the product of their endeavors, they show the planet TurnsToCrap.

There is only one name for it, given to us by the ‘stupid voters’ of the USA, GRUBER, Johnathon GRUBER: http://pindanpost.com/2014/11/14/gruber-gate-rocks-the-dem-left-media-sleep-on/

Not one single good thing happens?

This might help explain the Dunning-Kruger Effect, which says stupid people are too stupid to realize they’re stupid:
DAVID DUNNING: Well, my specialty is decision-making. How well do people make the decisions they have to make in life? And I became very interested in judgments about the self, simply because, well, people tend to say things, whether it be in everyday life or in the lab, that just couldn’t possibly be true. And I became fascinated with that. Not just that people said these positive things about themselves, but they really, really believed them. Which led to my observation: if you’re incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent.
ERROL MORRIS: Why not?
DAVID DUNNING: If you knew it, you’d say, “Wait a minute. The decision I just made does not make much sense. I had better go and get some independent advice.” But when you’re incompetent, the skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is. In logical reasoning, in parenting, in management, problem solving, the skills you use to produce the right answer are exactly the same skills you use to evaluate the answer. And so we went on to see if this could possibly be true in many other areas. And to our astonishment, it was very, very true.

Truth. It’s a happy circumstance for the village idiots that they never need realize they are idiots. That does not give license to others to prey upon their naivete, however. That kind of exploitation is how socialist Grubers design Obamacare legislation to be attractive to the easily deceived. And thus, scriptures are shown to be true…..

Earth backwards, I’d do it upside down and backwards but it is really hard to read. Instead we’ll just keep it to the other side of the looking glass view.
Or aiaG for a backwards Gaia.
If one is going for a complete reversal.
htraE aiaG
Which combines a backwards Gaia (over the top emotional nature world) with a backwards Earth (rejection of centuries of history)
Or since alarmists operate in a whole different plane of reality.
esrevinU for their backwards view of the Universe.

Using standard practiced climate science as describer in the video below it has to be Planet X

By the way.
Kudos to everyone for their amazing abundance of postulated names for the planet where alarmists (and other less productive people spin their less than honest horrors. I greatly enjoyed them!

Like. So many people simply dont understand what YAD-061 means in climate alarmism.

Did anybody say Cashcow yet? The capitol of world government would be Grantsville. Didn’t i see a parallel universe like this on Star Trek TOS?

Speaking of Star Trek, maybe the unnamed planet needs that “Genesis” device! …Talk about Climate change…

Planet with no temperature regulating molecule ie. no water. . .
Currently very cold. . .
CO2 concentration low enough so that changes actually make a difference. . .
Wouldn’t that be Mars?
