Arctic Researcher: The Donald Ate My Homework

Eric
“In my opinion this pathetic complaint is an attempt to deflect blame for Victoria’s own carelessness.”

Is that what this is really all about?

Wow. This loon thinks that “policies” are Arctic “data”. No, they are not the same. At all.

Good riddance to bad policy I say. The actual measurement data is poorly archived but is not being deleted.

I’m glad that deeply incompetent people who cannot tell the difference between policy and measurement data are no longer near the People’s hard-earned tax dollars.

J Scott Armstrong: Fewer Than 1 Percent Of Papers in Scientific Journals Follow Scientific Method

Fewer than 1 percent of papers published in scientific journals follow the scientific method, according to research by Wharton School professor and forecasting expert J. Scott Armstrong.

Professor Armstrong, who co-founded the peer-reviewed Journal of Forecasting in 1982 and the International Journal of Forecasting in 1985, made the claim in a presentation about what he considers to be “alarmism” from forecasters over man-made climate change.

“and the opening up of shipping routes with unpredictable conditions and hazardous icebergs.”
These people are so shrill and idiotic with their alarmism that I hope they just go away soon due to lack of funding. So she is saying that if shipping channels open up in the future that they will be dangerous because of man made global warming because there will still be dangerous icebergs seeking revenge on the crew of these ships ? And I assume the screed on erosion in Alaska is once again that one village that is by the mouth of that river? This from someone too stupid to back up her own data.

Where is the data and citations?
Its Victoria’s secret.
so to speak.

So she is an Arctic resesearcher, she says, who has heard that the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe is. And her treasured works on the Arctic are gone — “The US National Strategy for the Arctic, the Implementation Plan for the Strategy, and the report on our progress all gone within a matter of minutes.” For shame that she is so attached to them. I consider these works worthless because they totally ignore my published work on the Arctic. As she also does by complaining that the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world, a fact explained in my paper. Knowing that this is an anomaly the very least she could have done is to start her thinking about its cause. But thinking apparently does not seem to be a skill that climate scientists indulge in. It should interest her also that for two thousand years the Arctic showed no warming whatsoever, just slow, linear cooling. Then, suddenly, at the turn of the twentieth century, a warm spell appeared out of nowhere. It did not last because warming came back in thirty years and has been with us since 1970. Arctic watchers noticed this and started recording Arctic temperature history late in the seventies.Of courese they missed the early history and have no idea what happened before. The cause of the waqrming can not possdibly be carbon dioxcide because there is no way to swing the water masses of tyhe North Atlantic as suddenly as the warming happened. It bis highly probable that what happened was a change in the Noth AStlantic current system that rearranged thepath of the Gulf Stream to deliver its warm water more directly into the Arctic Ocean. I predicted that and in 2010 Spielhagen et al. went on an Arctic cruise to check it out. They measured directly tthe North Atlantic water temperature that enters the Atcrtic ocean and found that it was higher than recorded at any other time in history. This warm water is obviouly brought north by the Gulf Stream. It begins in the Gulf of Mexico, rounds Fl;orida, heads north through the Florida Strait, continues north parallel to the East Coast, and eventually crosses the ocen to enter the North Sea, as Ben Franklin knew. Its warmth keeps Northern Europe’s temperature higher than its latitude would suggest. As to the cause of therearrangement event at the start of the twentieth century, we have no clue but we can speculate that it could be related to the activity of the bottom currents that flow south in in the deep part of vthe Atlantic Ocean. For further information and references read my paper in: E&E(22)(8):1069-1083(2011).

I note the significant fact that she isn’t actually complaining about her data being deleted. Just policy. When policy can, and does, change with every incoming president, what is she whinging about? Those aren’t policies anymore since Trump came to power on Jan 20, 2017.

PolitiFact says it was in fact the Obama administration who removed (and archived) all whitehouse.gov climate change content. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2017/jan/23/george-takei/george-takei-says-white-house-removed-pages-about-/

So if we’re going to be nit-picky, it was the Obama administration that removed whitehouse.gov’s pages about these issues, along with every other piece of content their team ever published.

It’s not a conspiracy but routine administration. The same thing happened when Obama took office but I guess Bush supporters didn’t have so much “conspiracy ideation”. Maybe something for Dr. Lewandowsky to research.

The question is, why does an Arctic researcher want to mislead the public. The title should be corrected to “I am an Arctic researcher. Barack Obama is deleting my citations.”

She must be a real idiot. If you are going to cite work in a “science” paper, you PDF it so it does not change! If “the Donald” wanted to make a fool of her, he would simply have directed the site be changed to contradict her paper! Then her links would work, and make her look like a bigger fool than she is.

I sometimes wonder at the intelligence level of this “consensus”.

putin admitts:

A couple months back, when the warmists said they were desperately “saving” information from Trump, what they were really doing was desperately hiding information. Deleting links is part of hiding information. They don’t want information all over the place. Information is power and if you are the only one who knows where that information is hidden, it may be more difficult to fire you.

WhIle the warmists are blaming Trump the truth is that they should be blaming each other.

Perhaps the title should be: Naive climate researcher discovers that the internet consists of a bunch of files on someones servers. Who knew!

Those on the Left could benefit from intensive computer education. They fall for phishing schemes, fail to back up needed information, have notoriously simple passwords (probably the same one for all accounts) and host servers in their basements and other such areas. They set up a network and fail to maintain it, then complain when a smart 5th grader lands in their computer and copies sensitive data. They are disasters with computers.

Google Scholar has only one paper attributed to Victoria Herrmann. It’s a two-page policy paper that is as useless as Dr. Lew paper entitled “Rethinking Urban Mobility”.

If there was no such thing as CAGW, it would necessary for V. H. To invent it.

I bet Victoria has not produced anything that will ever be used to better any aspect of anyone’s life.
But she has been well traveled. Lucky gal.
You want to know Victoria?
Look at the useless junk she wrote.

Culture on the Move: Toward an Inclusive Framework for Cultural Considerations in Climate Related
Migration, Displacement, and Relocation Policies
Victoria Herrmann
Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK, and Arctic Institute, Washington, DC, USA, vsh212@gmail.com
As entire populations lose their lands in the United States, US Territories, and abroad from a changing
climate, what becomes of their historic and sacred sites? When not just individuals but communities are
displaced, how can their cultures be conserved and their traditional knowledge retained? And, equally important,
how can cultural heritage be used to facilitate the emplacement of these communities to new sites?
Such questions are vital to developing policies that address the needs of communities facing climate-related
displacement. Yet, cultural considerations have been largely neglected in framework discussions on climate
relocation to date.
The proposed paper offers an approach to better integrate cultural heritage into the policy dialogue
for climate related migration, both internally and internationally. First, the paper identifies best practices of
cultural heritage being used in climate displacement and relocation efforts. It does so by synthesizing the work
of the Pocantico Working Group on Climate Migration and Cultural Heritage, an international network of
cultural leaders, practitioners, and scholars.
Then, the paper presents how the best practices drawn from these existing efforts can be used as
lessons in how to effectively incorporate cultural considerations into policy and legal options for addressing
internal migration, cross-border displacement, and relocation in the context of climate change. Specifically,
the lessons highlight (1) how to include preservation where possible and/or document and memorialize the
tangible heritage left behind by displaced communities; (2) how to conserve the intangible heritage, traditional
knowledge, and movable heritage of displaced persons and communities; and (3) how to facilitate the role of
cultural heritage as a tool for resiliency, integration, and social cohesion in new sites.
Cultural heritage is not only a local history to be conserved for dislocated persons through its substantial
consideration in climate policy frameworks. It is also a tool that can aid in the development of strong
communities once relocated—communities capable of successfully scoping with future climate stressors.

One story I read said that it is standard when a new president takes office the outgoing president’s stuff gets archived. I think it said the Obama people even imported most, or all, of the stuff they thought was important to a website associated with Obama. That’s where she should look.

The Trump hating snowflake Victoria Herrmann is waving her hands and identifying herself and her NGO activist organization for defunding.

It’s Another Great Day For America!
