The Royal Society Misrepresents Climate Science

This whole CAGW fiasco has made three important major contributions to advance society.
1) The vast number of scientists (a large majority it seems) who still cleave to this falsified theory after 18yrs of no warming have self branded. They might just as well put on black and white wide striped suits for easy identification. They have advertised that they will do anything to fight off cutting off funds. Precious few have changed their minds in the face of the evidence of the pause – James Lovelock who invented the theory of Gaia – the earth as one organism and was a poster person for CAGW, recanted finally saying that the idea of CAGW was too overblown. He certainly would be the most illustrious of the tiny group. A fringe group of adherents have shown they have a conscience by becoming mentally ill with the pressure on them from their own D*nial. Their own minds have accepted they were wrong but they can’t bring themselves to acknowledge it – it has prevented them from working though. This is textbook “being in D*nial” that was written into psychology tomes before CAGW was even invented. I guess they could wear padded striped suits so we will be kinder toward them
2) No other means of getting the truth out comes to mind on the sad dilution of science which, in an earlier age would not have accepted 90% of them as lab technicians. A combination of “industrial democracy” in higher education and government funding of institutions according to the size of enrollment resulted in a chopping down of minimal standards for entrance and a throwing open of the doors to let in the hordes. Many years ago, a prof of the old school lamented to me that they now offer pre-courses in remedial English and mathematics to bring the hordes up to some minimal communicative level. They also invented a host of new sciences (science lite) that could absorb those that had zero chance of making it through even the new cotton candy courses. Ultimately many become school teachers, bank tellers, insurance salesmen….Climate science and the birth of the idea of post normal science were made in heaven for this problem. Except for the few percent that have always occupied the elite level in science, this science gets on well with statistics for Psychology 101, doesn’t need to try to prove or support anything – just speculate on what WILL happen after they have been told what will happen by ideologues.
I’ve come to accept as true the 97% of scientists proposition even though the methodology of the consensus “discovery” is totally ridiculous. I accepted it when I discovered it was based on some 12000 (twelve thousand!!) papers written and published in the last 10yrs. Another clue is they have only one mathematical formula for climate warming theory and it was written down decades ago. All the many 10s of thousands of papers written on the subject since, have not found one modification to this “forcing equation” (the pause has stirred a few sleeping neurons to be sure). How is it possible to have 10s of thousands of scientific papers on this subject without variety? Science is becoming like music. You have a few genius composers a century and the rest are all fiddlers.
I, for the longest while, resented the damage that was being done to science. Now, I embrace it. It is already terminally damaged without some revolution in how we do education and we rightfully should disparage it they way it’s being done. Even the ordinary working citizen, whose money is being wasted on all this knows about it!
3) Sceptics, unfortunately are diluted by ideological types, unthoughtful contrarians and the like that activists like to characterize the nay sayers by, but interspersed with these are a precious (as it turns out) intelligent, thoughful, knowledgeable few (is it as much as 3% that Cook has calculated), who are the real scientists and a solid resource for moving humankind forward, solving its problems improving its lives and maybe bringing back the joy and hope that the space age brought us and pushing out the self loathing and deep unhappiness that has afflicted this species. Hopefully, when the edifice collapses as it surely will, we will find a way to revive science and bring it back to something that can be respected again.
