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.
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.

Similar projections for 2 decades from the alarmist side. On the real planet however, the actual reality is that this keeps happening:
http://usda.mannlib.cornell.edu/usda/current/CropProd/CropProd-11-10-2014.txt
“Corn production is forecast at 14.4 billion bushels, down slightly from the
previous forecast, but up 3 percent from 2013. Based on conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 173.4 bushels per acre, down
0.8 bushel from the previous forecast but 14.6 bushels above the 2013
average. If realized, this will be the highest yield and production on record
for the United States.”
“Soybean production is forecast at a record 3.96 billion bushels, up less than
1 percent from October and up 18 percent from last year. Based on November 1
conditions, yields are expected to average a record high 47.5 bushels per
acre, up 0.4 bushel from last month and up 3.5 bushels from last year.”
So what is the response from the IPCC to the booming biosphere, increased vegetative health, record crop yields, slightly less global drought, less strong/violent storms/tornadoes and less tropical cyclone energy?
Boost their confidence level in the bad stuff to 95%.
To be objective, the beneficial warming in the 80’s/90’s resulted in an atmosphere that can hold more moisture and this increased heavy down pours a bit.
Also, the explosive growth from plants/vegetation caused some wildfires to be worse since that factor provided additional fuel for them to burn.
Those negatives are actually a result of an overall positive.
Who would want plants and crops to grow less, so that wildfires would not have as much fuel?
Who would want less water vapor in the global atmosphere, which would result in less rain for areas that dependent on it?
This planet and the response by life on it, shows conclusively that the one gas which should be increased…….even more is CO2.

A new planet won’t be enough. You’ll need a new universe where you can customize the Earthly laws of physics. First, you will need to repeal the Second Law of Thermodynamics so Earth 2.0 can rest in equilibrium states. Then you’ll need to repeal Henry’s Law of Solubility so the ocean will stop sucking up CO2 emissions, and outgassing CO2 from solar heating (or any other source of global warming). And then you’ll need to repeal whatever laws govern cloud cover so that it can be constant instead of being a high speed, positive feedback to the Sun, and a slow speed, negative feedback to surface temperature.
It might be easier just to convert everyone not already an IPCC-climatologist so that nobody cares whether climate models actually work. Easier yet, all you have to do is convert the remaining half of the US into liberal/progressives, or put them on the dole, then no one will worry about whether anything works.
Or, cut of funds for these terrorists in mufti and huaraches, or whatever academic dress du jour is, and let’s all get back to useful work.
OK. Nobody liked my observation that you can’t just stick Planet X in the existing universe and have it reproduce the AGW model because that model violates universal laws. So, to play the name game for this compliant planet, I offer
KRaP.
That stands for Karl RAImund Popper, who single-handedly founded Post Modern Science, the academically compliant, Publish or Perish “science”, without which IPCC compliant climatologists would be exposed as cranks. As Will Happer confirms on Paul Budline’s new video posted on WUWT a few minutes ago, “it’s complete falsehood to say that it’s science”. By it, he means (anthropogenic) global warming, which he condemns as propaganda from a religious cult.
Under Popper’s principle of Falsification, the only valid model is one containing a clause that would show it is empirically invalid. Since the passing of David Stove, apparently I am alone in being amused by this observation. More than propaganda and religion, it’s insanity, specifically psychotic. Stove politely and untypically called proponents irrational.
Just to be sure, AGW is peer-reviewed, published in AGW journals, supported by a consensus of AGW experts, and has a falsification clause involving an urgent, irreversible, global catastrophe just out of reach — the end of life-as-we-know-it in t-minus-100 years, and, apparently, holding.

Oh My God! No-where is screwed!
Already proposed Erewhon sort of has that covered, with added benefit of literary allusion.

The whole climate modeling exercise is a comedic parody of science
I’ve been using the name ‘planet Model’ both here and elsewhere to describe that scary planet of the future described by the imaginative and faithful.
