Friday funny – Don't Ever Name It A Lull

Josh writes: Lots of news about science ending The Pause – so what will they call it next?

DENIAL_scrAs an extra bonus distraction why not think up what D.E.N.I.A.L. might stand for?

D.E.N.I.A.L. = Don’t Even Name It A Lull.

You hit the first pitch right out of the ballpark, Steven. Well done, sir.

Oh, now I see… the title was a big help, but then I thought Josh was making it a guessing game. I missed that apparently, Josh wants other ideas.
Rats! Now I’ll really be distracted.

In the dutch language the word LUL(l) means exactly what these people are.

And if it’s sea level it’s a pothole or speed bump. Certainly not a lull, remission, respite or any such word that wouldn’t indicate that we really want it to happen, and the sooner the better.

So how much do they say temperature increased during the last 18and a half years of the not-pause?

It needs to be called what is is. A halt .
It is halted until it moves again, and that I expect will be to the cold side.
Probably is already if you use a 4 year time window. So how long a period makes a trend? Is a 2 year period long enough to say “Elevated heat has left the planet.”? If not, then I ask “Where’s the heat?”

Mr. Smith,
In science one is supposed to be very careful about defining all terms and using those terms carefully. Since climatology in the modern era is certainly not science, we expect them to abuse all terms.
And they do.

Even the climate simulation models’ hindcasts are worthless:

… climate models show no skill whatsoever at hindcasting — which means climate models FAIL, for they are not realistic, not even for the last few decades.

Heh. Yeah, Cool Arrow, and the first little item on the list: the year Sir Edmund Hilary reached the top of Mt. Everest, 1953 1947. Since Hilary Rodham Would-I-L1e? Clinton was named for him in view of his achievement. According to her. So, that’s a fact. So, the historical record must be wrong. Sir Hilary hid out in a cave for 6 years, he was so shy… . Then, he was too embarrassed to admit he was so shy. SO! Just a little bashfulness adjustment.

If they can erase the medieval warm period, the little ice age, the dust bowl years and the grant-threatening hiatus, then there is clearly nothing to fear about global warming, climate change or even extreme weather. A few keyboard clicks and poof – no problem. Let’s redirect our focus to some real problems that can’t be wished away in the fantasy digital world of climate science.

If they’re so proficient at changing weather, why do they need further funding?
All they’d have to do, as you say, is click a few keyboard keys, and the problem is gone!

Does no one else find it just a little self serving when you re-evaluate the raw data of a failing hypothesis and taa-daa the new data supports your hypothesis?
Worse they are not in the least bit embarrassed and still have the balls to consider themselves scientists.
