By Andy May
While researching my next book, I found a bit of interesting deception on the Intelligence Squared web site. This is the organization that hosted the famous March 14, 2007 global warming debate on the motion “Global Warming is not a Crisis.” Debating in favor of the motion were the late Michael Crichton, Professor Richard Lindzen (MIT, now emeritus), and Professor Philip Stott (University of London, emeritus). Against the motion were Dr. Brenda Ekwurzel of the Union of Concerned Scientists, Dr. Gavin Schmidt of NASA, and Professor Richard Somerville of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
The debate was held at the Asia Society and Museum in New York City. Their auditorium holds 258 people and, I presume, every seat was filled. The audience was polled on the assertion before the debate and after. According to the verbatim transcript of the debate (one of the tabs on the Intelligence Squared link above), moderator Brian Lehrer, announced the results at 1 hour 37 minutes:
“And now the results of our debate. After our debaters did their best to sway you…you went from, 30% for the motion that global warming is not a crisis, from 30% to 46%. [APPLAUSE]
01:38:58
Against the motion, went from 57% to 42%… [SCATTERED APPLAUSE, MOANS] And “undecided” went from 13% to 12%. The hardcore ambivalent are still among us. [LAUGHTER] So, in terms of opinion change, those in favor of the motion, have carried the day, congratulations to the team for the motion.”
You can hear the debate and the results on an NPR recording as well.
Gavin Schmidt was intensely embarrassed at their clear defeat in the debate. As Anthony Watts wrote in 2018, eleven years after the debate, Schmidt was so demoralized and defeated he still would not appear on stage with skeptical scientists, like Dr. Roy Spencer. Schmidt reportedly said debates are not worthwhile, regardless of the outcome. This is quite shocking to hear, debate is at the heart of scientific research. If you will not debate your points, you are not doing scientific work.
As you can probably imagine, I was nearly knocked to the floor when I clicked on the Intelligence Squared tab for the debate results on 28 December 2020. This was after I had listened to the debate and read the transcript. Under the tab on December 28 and still there January 6th, I read the winner, post-debate, was Against the motion, by 89%! Someone with access to the Intelligence Squared web site had radically changed the results from a win for the climate skeptics to a win for the alarmists. You may still be able to see this when you go to the web site. I wrote to them about this error December 28, and have received no answer.
As Wim Rost found, the Wayback machine shows that the correct results were on the web page December 15, 2016 as you can see below. Use this link to search the Wayback machine yourself. Be patient, it takes a little while to bring up the calendar.
There is certainly no excuse for lying about the results of this famous debate, but someone did.
Wow! That is really sad!
No, it’s outrageous. Sean Hannity says “sad” a lot. The word “sad”really isn’t strong enough for the situation.
It’s an outrage when the public is deliberately lied to for political purposes.

Salute!
No problem, as prolly same folks are “deniers” about history, and simply erase what they do not agree with.
Gums sends…
One of William Connelley’s little Wikipedia sock puppets evidently got access to the web site.
Typical.
Any word as to whether a Dominion voting machine was involved in the recount?
so…..we’re won nothing
we’ve sat back….let it go on….and the next 4 years we are really screwed
This was not the only alteration to the Internet I’ve seen recently. TheBestSchools web pages of the debate between William Happer and David Karoly are disappearing also. I got one back from the Wayback machine, but I’m still missing Glenn Tamblyn’s contributions. If someone told you the liberals are trying to change history, believe them!
As Andy says, A significant function of debate is to defend your ideas; science is a process, not a body of fixed knowledge. And if a Wayback machine is needed to preserve those individual ideas for later examination, so be it. An idea should not be accepted or rejected because one debater is a more elegant speaker than another. The idea MUST be preserved for review and reference.
1984 is getting a bit like ground hog day, history being re written before our eyes. After all the blindingly obvious voter fraud being coverrd up by the Enimedia,I suppose we can anticipate the Way Back Machines being tampered with next.
“Enimedia”
Good one! 🙂 So true!
I wrote President Trump’s site twice suggesting they initiate P.S.Ds. ( President Sponsored Debates). With CAGW being one of the three most important topics.
It would have been extremely effective.
Latitude, we might only be screwed for two years as the 2022 mid-terms are likely to restore both the House and Senate to rational hands. I read one comment that if Biden/Harris were smart they would do nothing for 6 months as the vaccine program kicks the virus and the stock market finishes its rebound from the shut-downs.
Elections will not longer be fair, Ron. The fix will always be in. There will be no 2022 recompense.
If anything, they’ve probably learned from the glaring manipulation glitches they left in the 2020 voter trends. In the future they’ll be more careful to hide their tracks.
State legislators hold the key to fixing the fraud. Vote for candidates that run on fixing the election mess. It can be done.
I am with Frank, I don’t see a Republican winning the presidency again and more states turning blue.
Wishful thinking. State legislatures write election laws but in the SupremeCourt’s refusal to hear the Texas lawsuit, we see that state executives and judges are now free to ignore election laws.
My father (a sceptic scientist) once debated a Jeremy Leggett (a solar power subsidy advocate). The theme was similar to this debate.
At the interval Leggett legged it. He wasn’t going to stick around for more of that embarrassment. He was beaten. Hammered.
Leggett was representing Greenpeace. The next day Greenpeace announced they would no longer engage in public debate of the science.
To this day my father says that overwhelming victory was his greatest defeat. If he hadn’t won so overwhelmingly Greenpeace would have lost many more public battles. That would have been beneficial for the truth.
I would say it was Pyrrhic but I cannot spell that.
See my post just above. Imagine what such debates on a national stage would have accomplished!
Additional debates exposing the BLM crowds radical leadership and their lies would be yet another example.
Rational public debate on a national scale is non existent now.
We can’t have rational debates when one political party controls the Media. The Media form public opinion and when they lie for partisan political purposes, they destroy the Republic, as they are on their way to doing now.
The Lying Media are the greatest threat to our freedoms.
Yes, the Media are getting more bold and egregious in their manipulations.
The Fourth Estate has become a Fifth Column!
I couldn’t agree more, Tom.
I’ve been pounding this point now for more than a decade.
Family & friends are eye-rollingly tired of my rants now, but as political campaign managers say –
when people are sick & tired of earing your message, they’re only just starting to get it.
No one alive has seen a real public debate on politics. Does anyone recall the name of a moderator for the Lincoln-Douglas debates? No. Scripted Q and A sessions are not debates, they demean the term. Modern “debates” are decided when the design is chosen and the questions scripted. The actual event is anticlimax.
No better example than Kamala’s reply when asked why she did an about face on Biden’s racist views and his sheer incompetence:
“Because it was a DEBATE!” (followed by derisive laughter that the interviewer would be so incredulous!)
We’ll just have to adapt Facebook technology to debates, so the next bad guy will see a different result than everybody else sees. Then maybe he’ll even brag about it and link to it! ;-b
“We’ll just have to adapt Facebook technology to debates”
I think it is about time that conservatives dropped Facebook and Twitter.
I just heard that Facebook and Twitter have both blocked Trump’s accounts and won’t allow him on their platforms until after the inauguration of the illegitimate president, Joe Biden.
I’ve had a Facebook account for years, and I haven’t used it for years, but now I’m going to formally cancell my account, as a means of protest of Facebooks censorship.
I don’t have a Twitter account so don’t have to cancel that. Twitter never was attractive to me because they initially limited the message to 140 characters. I couldn’t even get warmed up in 140 characters. 🙂
Trump should immediately move himself and all his supporters to Parler.
I hear it is kind of a hassle to withdraw your account from Facebook. Anyone have any pointers on how to do this as painlessly as possible?
I also want to remove a relative’s account who has passed away. I understand that is even more complicated. Any advice would be welcome.
It’s not as hard as getting them to stop voting.
Good point. 🙂
Give a fake name, then have someone else report you. When they ask for identification, refuse. They will suspend and later close your account.
It looks like I found a good link that tells how to delete your Facebook account:
https://www.gamerevolution.com/guides/671220-how-to-delete-facebook-account-in-2021-permanently-immediately-computer-mobile
I recall also that desmog blog & Guardian wallah Graham Readfearn once took on Christopher Monckton on stage in Brisbane (Australia), and left the debate blubbering after his lordship (figuratively) wiped the floor with the lad.
There is an old caution about winning the battle and losing the war. I also have experience with that.
Just sounds like the “new” normal of U.S.A. vote reporting. I mean, come on man, how dare anyone not accept what they’re told!
they even changed the pre-debate numbers….
Exactly. And the right forum for that is peer reviewed literature.
What is not is at the heart of scientific research is
In other words, if you are unable to win the debate using facts and logic, try censorship!
They won the scientific debate. The scientists. Not the deniers.
LIAR
!
Its not like the truth benefits him.
You are entitled to your own opinions, you are not entitled to your own facts.
Quote from someone.
The alarmists have lost ever debate they have ever engaged in. That is a fact, even though you will continue to cling to your beliefs.
Notice how the loser nyholist is still squirming around, totally avoiding producing any actual real science.
He probably thinks no-one is noticing behind his misplaced egotistical bluster. 🙂
Standard methodology for those who know they are EMPTY.
Its almost as though he/she/it KNOWS that there is no actual science to back up the blathering.
Its just a childish attention-seeking troll-game.
Yes of course I’m entitled to my own facts! 😉 Remember, I’m the elite!
If you have so many facts, why don’t try presenting some.
So far all you have managed to do is proclaim that only those people you acknowledge as scientists are to be listened to.
No, you’re not the elite, you’re just one of the many useful idiots that neo-marxism uses.
“Reality is socially constructed,” from the credo of post-modernism. So, get enough of “society” to construct your whim as real, and the ‘facts’ themselves will follow.
And the Team picks the peer reviewers.
Not at all. If people are wrong you should expose them to the full glare of debate and leave a record of how they are wrong.
Perhaps they may be right and you will learn something.
But if they are wrong then you have evidence to wave in front of the ill-informed (the majority on any particular subject). Because the ill-informed will eventually stumble on the confused people. That is effective. You stop the rot.
Trying to ignore people who are wrong just leaves them to their self-facing bubbles where people get more persuaded and committed to their error. They then will grow, fester and refuse to accept evidence or argument against their new idol.
A good way to tell a thinker from a zealot is that thinkers welcome debate while zealots consider it a source of heresy.
The problems is that they were not wrong. Furthermore science and policy got mixed up in the shittiest way.
Yep, policy triumphed over reality and over science…
actual real science never got a look in.
That the skeptics were not wrong is self evident.
That science and policy have gotten mixed up was the goal of your alarmists from the beginning.
<blockquote>Furthermore science and policy got mixed up in the shittiest way.</blockquote>
Now you’ve finally said something of substance.
I could tolerate the hypothesis of agw as an interesting academic conversation, if it weren’t for the accompanying policy idiocy of promoting grid scale wind and solar electricity generation, storage, dispatchability as rational, affordable, sustainable “solutions”.
See “Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds”
Exactly I don’t have a problem with wasting $billions on climate papers and conferences, it’s the $trillions on sunshine and breezes, and worst of all battery storage. An unworkable solution for a non existing problem.
I have a problem with the $billions wasted on climate propaganda papers AND the $trillions wasted on sunshine and breezes. Not only due to the waste of money produced by the productive by its transfer to the useless, but because the former leads to the latter.
I sadly agree. And I always sad that.
Well what do you know – a light bulb occasionally comes on…
It’s clear you know nothing about science in general and “climate science” in particular. Public debate is now and has always been the best way to disperse important subjects. Only the Left wants debate limited to a select few … and behind closed doors. The AGW true believers have never won a debate … ever.
Modern natural science is simply incomprehensible for the general public without very extensive learning, mostly in higher mathematics. Even when the math is rather simple, most people won’t understand that. Andy May made elementary errors in his calculations that could be explained with a few equations and he still doesn’t get it. You can’t have a meaningful public debate with an audience that don’t understand it. The so called popular scientific literature is a good way to disperse these subjects but that’s necessarily means profound simplification.
Yes you have made it obvious that you totally lack these things.
You prove that every time you continue making yabbering mindless statements rather than actually producing scientific evidence.
You have NO CLUE if Andy has made any errors, that is just what you read somewhere from one of your fellow INEPT climate cultists. It bears no truth in reality.
You are INCAPABLE of meaningful debate, because you KNOW that you have absolutely no real science to back up anything you say… so all you can do in mindless bluster.
Prove me wrong
Answer these simple questions…. instead of dodging and weaving like a demented chook. !
PRODUCE YOUR SCIENCE…..
or continue to scurry around like a little cockroach.
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
Yet another lie from the master of them.
As to Andy making mistakes, just screaming you’re wrong over and over again, doesn’t make it so.
Of course you believe that science has become too complex for the “average person” … the hoi poloi. The Left always pretend to have an inside track on understanding. The Lefties promoting the “climate change” fraud are no different.
The fact is, the entire issue of this planet’s many climates and their interface with humanity is far too complex for the computer models that pretend to provide us with meaningful projections of future outcomes. They don’t. They are always wrong and it is a travesty to waste resources and plan our future on such poor speculation.
It doesn’t require a science degree to understand that the state of “climate science” has not even approached a basic standard of reliability. Your post (as expected) is entirely composed of hand waving and gaslighting.
Who were not wrong? If you lose a debate then either your initial premise was wrong of your arguments weren’t good enough or coherent enough to convince the unconvinced or sway the opposition.
We have seen two examples on this thread of global warming “believers” losing the argument and refusing to debate the subject thereafter. If they are not “wrong” then they might as well be because they aren’t “right” enough to convince skeptics and if you want me to contribute vast sums of my tax money to your as yet still unsubstantiated hyopthesis then failing to prove your case, flouncing off in a pet and then metaphorically (so far!) holding a gun to my head demanding the money anyway, you’d better think again.
And do try to avoid the pathetic arguments that can be debunked by high school student without even breaking sweat. You’re an embarrassment to science.
nyolci, If you are trembling with fear at debating your opponents, there may be a problem with your reasoning or analysis. Someone who disagrees with you is not necessarily wrong, it may be that it is you who are wrong.
Do I? 😉 Seriously, I’m talking about “opponents” who can’t even understand they are wrong. This is waste of time. You’re a good illustration. Nick Stokes explained to you quite a few times why your results were, khm, the “artifact of your method”.
Neither you nor Nick Stokes could use knowledge, reason or logic to find your way out of a paper bag. You never present any facts or reasoning, only BS.
Yes you do ..
You COWER away from producing any actual scientific evidence whatsoever.
You are a waste of time… that is for sure.
Nick Stokes is a mediocre hack, who’s explanation carry little to no weight.
nyholist seems to live in a hall of MIRRORS.. but with its eyes shut so he can’t see itself
Use a bit of introspection, you poor gullible anti-science twerp.
Once again nyolci displays an ignorance that is utterly impenetrable in it’s perfection.
The idea that he might be wrong is something that his tiny little mind just can’t process. The idea that Andy may be right and Nick may be wrong is rejected out of hand. After all, he agrees with Nick, which proves that Nick is right.
Well, here comes the tiny fact that Nick showed (ie. demonstrated) why Andy got his counterintuitive results and also showed what he could’ve done to avoid these errors. And he used extremely simple maths. The fact that you (Andy, whoever) couldn’t grasp it bears witness to your general illiteracy in basic scientific matters.
WRONG AGAIN
Nick has not “showed” anything.
He doesn’t have that capability….. neither do you.
Nick is only capable of “simple maths”… way below what is required to refute Andy Mays work.
He doesn’t understand it and neither do you.
It is BEYOND YOUR CAPABILITY.
Science and maths….. you have NONE.
Actually, all Nick did was make a few pronouncements.
None of which were backed up by actual facts.
And once again the elitist declares that anyone who disagrees with it must be really ignorant.
Nick has an extremely good but short and revealing post about this. The mathematics involved is the “a(b+c)=ab+ac” kind with a few lines of equations. And he very clearly demonstrated why the signal was masked by essentially measurement artifacts in Andy’s method. Go read it.
Stokes wouldn’t know how to treat real physical measurements if they bit him on the a***. I seriously doubt your ability to properly treat measurements with math properly too.
Neither of you appear to have been responsible for actually producing anything of value in the business world where measurements determine the viability of the company. You would be measuring a product spec’d to 1/1000th of an inch with a yardstick and insist the Central Limit Theory lets you determine the real physical length if you only do it enough times.
What a balanced and nuanced answer… Well, Andy couldn’t treat measurements with math properly. Nick easily demonstrated Andy’s errors. Furthermore he easily demonstrated that a certain extremely simple transformation makes these data meaningful even for doofuses like Andy without increasing uncertainty that’s already in the data. Actually his method (well, a commonplace method in his field) has a side effect of removing or decreasing systemic bias, etc. So my hunch feeling is that Nick’s ability to properly treat measurements with math is not that bad 😉 FYI I don’t know him.
Well, no. But anyway, you’ve changed subject. I surely don’t want to measure anything nowadays, I left my field. As far as I know Nick is using already existing data sets (that have been collected by leading experts in measurement, perhaps you? 😉 ) for analysis, his perceived (in)ability you allege to measure -say- length is completely irrelevant.
Again nye shows he/she/it is incapable of understanding actual mathematics and science.
Produces yet another mindless SCIENCE-FREE load of pap.
An empty sock, with a mouth.. so funny.
See you don’t even know of which you speak. “Nick is using already existing data sets”, that have an uncertainty of at least +/- 0.5 deg for each reading, far outweighing any anomaly of increased temperature.
How do you claim to know any facts? You simply rely on Argumentum ad populum with no facts.
You always want to ride this dead horse 🙂 in your characteristic inconsistent way. You proclaimed (editor’s note: elsewhere) that we could never know uncertainty, and then you gave a minimal value for it, a value you apparently pulled out of your ass. You don’t even specify whether it is F or Celsius, the two differ considerably. Even commercial household thermometers have an uncertainty that’s less than this (less than +/- 0.1C), so the above value itself is surely wrong for scientific thermometers. But this fact is almost beside the point. ‘Cos with proper statistical treatment you can of course reduce uncertainty for big datasets.
Have you been anywhere with 75 deg C? Besides which, if weren’t so intent on disparaging people, you would realize that the F or C doesn’t really matter. The number could be degrees of latitude or longitude, the slope of a hill, or the angle of a quarter round trim piece. The uncertainty interval for each measurement is still +/- 0.5 deg. You obviously have never had to deal with this in a serious manner. Neither have most climate scientists. They just turn the numbers over to a computer programmer who had some math and they proceed as if theses are absolute numbers with no uncertainty at all. Just like in their math books at school.
Yes, when I boil water.
Okay, that was a bit of hair splitting, I admit. But then
Hm, in other words your uncertainty interval is so arbitrary it has two different lengths 🙂 If I use another scale, would it have a third one too? For 75F and 75C aren’t that different you can’t use essentially the same method or sometimes even the same instrument.
I don’t like the constant psychoanalyzing some people do in debates but I have to note you nurse a good deal of bitterness towards those “smarty pants” who think they know everything with their (yak!) stupid mathematics you don’t understand.
All scientific papers have the various error bands carefully published. Have you ever seen even one? I think this is even a formal requirement for peer reviewers to check this.
That is a genuinely beautiful summation of so-called “climate science” as it is being peddled today.
He got even the name of it wrong beside other things. It’s correctly the “Central Limit Theorem“.
I might kinda agree with you to some extent, except for the elephant in the peer review room that the reviewers are hand-picked by the journal editors (what outcome do I want?), and the selected reviewers are opaque to the recipients of their critiques.
So there is nothing ‘open’ about this kind of scientific review.
I doubt nyholist even knows how “peer-review” is conducted
He just “BELIEVES”
I might kinda agree with you to some extent, except for the elephant in the peer review room
Thx for your answer. Well, the process is far from perfect, that’s true, and very slow anyway. Still, the long term outcome is pretty good.
ROFLMAO
Climate change™ peer-review is basically WORTHLESS.
The amount of utter trash that gets through from so-called climate scientists, who are actually nothing but activists, is hilarious.
The process preserves the paychecks of the insiders. After all, that’s what it was designed to do.
Peer review was intended to benefit the publisher … a form of editorial review making sure all the “t’s were crossed and the “i”s dotted as well as formulae, syntax and spelling checked for accuracy. Eventually it morphed into a way of forcing out smaller publishers and taking over “scientific” publication.
It was NEVER intended to validate the reviewed papers … and it doesn’t. Only open debate and attempted falsification has ever done and will ever do that.
So , we see that you are also TOTALLY CLUELESS what journal peer-review is for….. so funny.
You are totally ignorant about basically EVERYTHING, aren’t you.
So sad to see someone only capable of mouthy distractions, and so UTTERLY DEVOID of any actual competence in science of any kind.
Your last statement is utter balderdash, and you know it.
Resorting to DELIBERATE LIES just makes you look like even more of the village idiot.
Wrong, the peers were unable to understand what they just tried to read.
You must be a fellow mind reader! Hola comrade! We should carry on with our conversation in the traditional way! I think of something, you read it!
I love when you respond to a truncated quotation in order to make your point. You avoided the most important part:
Editorial review is the ONLY useful part of “peer review”, it reduces embarrassment and cuts down on the need for publishing errata. Mostly, today it’s just “pal” review.
Okay, I use the whole quote:
The whole intention of peer review was to guarantee a certain degree of quality, ie. no errors, no trivialities etc. Of course this is a dream, eg. there are (mostly minor) errors in 20% of published mathematical proofs etc. The intention was that what is published in a scientific journal would actually be a reliable source of knowledge. So in this sense the intention WAS validation too.
Anyway, apart from the choice of words, I think our opinions in this point are much closed to each other than they seem to be.
We’re not in the least bit “close to each other”. You virtually paraphrased my definition of the real intent of peer review and then slipped in:
Validation can only be achieved through repetition and attempted falsification (as I stated) . A sound and “reliable” source is not the same as validation or verification. The purpose of peer review has been turned into a means of fire-walling dogma from an open forum … eg. a closed shop.
A “peer”, in the scientific sense, is everybody studying the specific fields encompassing the topic of the paper. It’s an inclusive, not an exclusive process. Science is open to everyone.
Plainly no. Modern natural science is mostly mathematics and that is verifiable (and mostly verified) during peer review. You can’t really repeat experiments during peer review but no one really expects that. However, you can still verify a lot of aspects without actually repeating.
Peer review replaced the older process of editorial review. One of the reasons was avoiding closed shop, peer review was felt better in this regard.
And that is exactly the sort of remark that reinforces our criticism of your lack of science understanding. You need to look up ‘scientific method’ and spend some time learning what it is. If you can’t repeat an experiment, it is invalid. No amount of math can repair a bad hypothesis.
You really MUST do some reading on the basic theory of the scientific method. I can see why you have so many problems understanding the failure of all aspects of the AGW (GHE) pseudo-science.
I’m afraid you simply aren’t cut out for science. Clearly you haven’t any affinity for logic or facts.
🙂 How do you repeat an experiment that was done in the Large Hadron Collider? Anyway, if you have a well documented experiment a knowledgeable peer reviewer can assert quite a few things.
Oops, I was corrected, sorry 😉
You do a second and a third and a fourth experiment, while confirming the results using other means. Hell, you’re not only slow, you have no imagination.
Oops … you screwed up again. The only “peer review” in the scientific method is the vast body of “peers” within the science community who read and/or try to apply the paper to further experiment. A tiny cadre of “right thinking” reviewers hired by a publisher is clearly fraught with potential bias. Pull your head out of you fundamental orifice.
[How to repeat an experiment in the LHC] You do a second and a third and a fourth experiment
And you publish that in the same paper 🙂 Are you aware of the fact that you’ve just confirmed what I wrote? 🙂 Because this repeating is a thing peer reviewers check (and accept) if it’s documented properly. Rory, I think you should’ve realized so far, that the above doesn’t conform to what you were talking about (let’s call it the “Forbes Repeatability Criteria” for respect for the person who introduced it to the scientific public). There’s no practical way you can independently repeat this as an outsider. Not just this but a sizeable portion of modern experiments. (As for the LHC, it has two different main detectors with two different scientific groups operating them, so in a sense there’s a built in “independent” repeating.)
Still confused, I see. Hell, you couldn’t even get your comments on the LHC right.
“The collider has four crossing points, around which are positioned seven detectors, each designed for certain kinds of research.These experiments are run by collaborations of scientists from institutes all over the world. Each experiment is distinct, and characterised by its detectors.”
If you’re gong to use something as an example … please do at least some research so you get the basics right.
Note: … overall, the LHC has been a resounding failure for the most part. The only exception was an early experiment validating aspects of Svensmark’s hypotheses.
“Well, the process is far from perfect, that’s true, and very slow anyway. Still, the long term outcome is pretty good.”
True, and inclusive to boot. They would rather approve a post dog walk baggie like Pat Frank’s 2019 nonsense on error propagation, to be politely ignored in non alt.world, than unduly censor.
Agree.
You would agree with a nonce who hasn’t got a clue what he is talking about
the big oily blob is barely out of junior high mathematically
Basically TOTALLY IGNORANT.
You don’t even understand the question, nyolci
And the big slimy ignoranty blob adds his worthless ingonrat comments
So funny
bigoilbob never loses an opportunity to lose an opportunity to display integrity.
You’re a disgrace to intelligence, bob, and a disgrace to the profession.
I love how his attacks on you have NEVER contained a single point that shows he has even the most basic clue about error analysis.
He is quoting some other idiot’s lack of understand, and pretending he actually understand himself.
That’s how dumb and incompetent he is.
Standard for AGW consensus climatologists and their camp followers, fred.
If peer review is the answer, why so much attention now being given to the replication crisis in so many fields. Peer review by cronies is worthless!
The “replication crisis” is mainly a problem in the social sciences. Yes, if you think “social sciences” is misnamed, me too.
So is “climate science”
Should be called “glorified computer games”
Because this is just another bs you can scream endlessly like “MWP”.
You you can live in CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL and IGNORANCE for ever.
““MWP””
Facts, data and science mean absolutely NOTHING to you do they, nye..
DENIAL of the MWP is the most childish anti-science meme of the whole AGW farce
… up there with the fantasy of warming by atmospheric CO2.
You know, the fantasy that you keep running away from producing evidence for.
Let’s see you RUN AWAY yet again
its so funny to watch 🙂
Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
Sorry dude, it a failure in peer review. If you think physical science is immune, show your proof. The Great Barrier Reef controversy in Australia is a perfect example. One side is wrong, either it is dying or it is not. Peer review doesn’t seem able to provide a correct answer by dismissing incorrect studies.
The Great Barrier Reef controversy is a good example of a pseudo problem.
Really? That pseudo problem has gotten one very good professor terminated because of his position. That’s not pseudo!
It was very clearly stated that the reason of termination was not because of his (scientific) position but for essentially public libel against colleagues.
Are you even educated past kindergarten? Do you even understand the concept of a debate? Do you even know that there are basic logical fallacies? Debates are won by facts and logic and not by argument from authority. How about nullius in verba? OMG I do wish Monckton were here to properly lambaste you?
Yes.
Exactly. On the level of facts and logic, science wins. The thing is that most people couldn’t understand a scientific debate. That’s why scientific debates should be done by (actual) scientists.
nyolci, Refusing to debate your opponents is admission that you have no case. The alarmists dare not debate the skeptics, if they do it exposes their ignorance and lack of any evidence supporting their assumptions and assertions.
Yep, we see it every time an AGW “sympathiser/apologist” is asked to present evidence, even for the most basic fallacy of the AGW farce.
A complete and utter FAILURE.
You watch as the nyholist yet again ducks and weaves, and then FAILS UTTERLY and COMPLETELY..
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
Oh AndyG you are still grandstanding about something you’ve never bothered to look at yourself. You’ve been shown plenty of times but you just reject it out of hand and then keep demanding the same thing knowing that they are not doing so because there is no point.
Who are you ?
Not someone who has any evidence, that is for sure
Yes, I had notice just how IMPOSSIBLE it was for any alarmist scank to answer AndyG’s questions
I assume you had notice that to ?
Those questions bear repeating as often as possible, wouldn’t you agree. !
Perhaps YOU would like to try to answer those questions..
I recall that you were never able to when he asked them on other forums.
I don’t recall ever seeing anyone presenting anything except alarmist propaganda pap when he asked those two questions.
That’s why I like using them…
They are such good questions,
Wouldn’t you agree !!.
They expose the totally bereft nature of actual scientific evidence backing the AGW claims
Perhaps you would like to present some of the evidence you think you have.?
Or NOT.
Yeah, “where’s the evidence” is a great question! It’s the only question.
And the alarmists have no answer. And they know it, although some of them won’t admit it publicly, or in some cases, to themselves. But they can’t deny, even to themselves, that they cannot provide the required evidence.
There is no evidence for the alarmist to provide, that’s why they have such a hard time with a simple question.
Interesting, Gee Aye pretends to be familiar with Andy, yet it can’t even get Andy’s name right.
Another pretentious troll that seeks to validaten itself through the tellig of lies.
Like nyolci, it also assumes that any disagreement with the progressive agenda is proof that one is wrong.
I think this is a different Andy ‘cos it was addressed to our chief noise generator, fred250, and he didn’t seem to be surprised and he even used that name himself.
Yeah, I was looking at the names of the commenters and didn’t see an “AndyG” among them. I wondered what the poster was talking about. Still do.
Plainly false. Refusal can have numberless reasons. Richard Dawkins, the famous biologist (who I don’t really like but let’s put that aside) routinely refuses to debate science deniers ‘cos “what they seek is the oxygen of respectability”, and doing so would “give them this oxygen by the mere act of engaging with them at all”. You wouldn’t say Richard Dawkins has no case, would you?
I see that nyolci is actually desperate enough actually believes that as long as it can cite another example of someone refusing to be scientific as proof that his refusal to be scientific is justified.
The nyholist is TOO COWARDLY to even attempt to put forward any of the actual science it says it has…. in scientific terms
Only manages to regurgitate blathering AGW mantra.
Too COWARDLY to even attempt to support the most basic premise of its cult religion
That’s pretty darn PATHETIC. !
Let’s see more RUNNING AWAY !!! 🙂
Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
Do I look desperate? 🙂 It’s entertainment!
Yep , your squirming and eeling about, producing load of technocolor, science-free, empty spew….. are quite entertaining.
In a slop-stick low-level comedy sort of way
Funny thing is that you don’t realise what your COWARDLY avoidance of presenting any actual science whatsoever plays right into the hands of us climate realists.
Thank you for continuing to CONFIRM that there is NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE even from the most basic fallacy of the AGW scam.
You are doing a GREAT JOB for the realist side 🙂
Well, I did disprove that refusal was necessarily due to lack of case didn’t I? 🙂 ‘Cos my reaction was for that. Mark, you’re changing subject. This must be some kinda fallacy, please look up the relevant one.
The “lack of case” is not up to you or another debater to judge. The arbitrator of a lack of case is up to the listener to the debate, the jury as it were.
Refusing to debate is claiming the privilege of being both the judge and jury. “You are wrong and I am right, so go away.” Typical response from a censor.
Well, I proudly am! 😉
No , you are just another MINDLESS NO-ENTITY.
Science.. you have NONE
…. otherwise you would produce it rather than mindlessly rambling on with anti-facts and whatever other BS you can come up with at the time.
And STILL runs away from producing any evidence
HILARIOUS
! 🙂
Utter COWARDICE is the main one.
Did you see Gavin Smdit himself when asked to debate Roy Spencer on TV.
It was like a 5 year-old’s tantrum as he RAN squirming off the stage..
Hilarity all round…. 🙂
All most as funny as your continued efforts to avoid simple questions. 🙂
Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
Multiple argumentative fallacies.
argumentum ad populum
argumentum ad verecundiam
Quit using other people and their beliefs as backup for yours. You must be able to state the FACTS these people have discovered in your own words and use the personage of others solely as a reference of the discoverer, and not as proof of the discovery.
Why? If I don’t state the facts in my own words will that invalidate these facts? I thought facts had a life independent of my mind… Perhaps I was wrong… 😉
Poor nyhilist .. desperate LIES and deceit are the only thing it has.
Village clown wants his job back, because nyholist is ruining the reputation of village clown
You do need to produce actual evidence
….. not continually run away like the COWARD you are..
All you have so far is tantamount to a child’s fairy-tale.
Seems to be all your feeble mind is capable of.
There’s a wonderful stance for a scientist. I can’t debate with you because you don’t agree with me and some people might believe you rather than me.
I can’t offhand think of a better example of scientific arrogance.
Correction: I can’t debate with you ‘cos you’re a charlatan.
So you finally ADMIT that the AGW meme is total scientific farce.
Well done ! 🙂
Pity the so-called “climate scientists™” are too COWARDLY to debate real scientists.
They already KNOW what the outcome would be, and they would , yet again, leave with their tails between their legs and a big LOSER sign tattooed across their forehead
Just like you.
This reminds me of Obama declaring that the only reason why everyone did not love ObamaCare was that he, Obama, hadn’t expained it well enough to them.
The idea that only things he agrees with are science and only those he agrees with are scientists, is such a strongly held religious conviction with people like nyolci, that he can’t even image a world in which he is ever proven wrong.
Perhaps even you can see that scientific explanations tend to be rather complicated. No wonder it takes years to learn a field. That’s why we should listen to these experts and not to some self-appointed clowns with an agenda.
little nyholist RUNNING AWAY like a little bee-arch !
So funny
You have no “scientific” explanations
You are a scientific ABYSS.
Yep the “climate change” malarkey is run by self-appointed clowns with an agenda
WELL DONE. !!
Clearly you aren’t even able to work out what a “scientist” is and how to become one. Your grasp of this entire topic is so faulty, so filled with utter nonsense I wonder how you even thought that you had something to offer here. Even your pseudonym is silly. Why must you make up a name? What are you afraid of?
After a lifetime spent in and out of academia, I can tell you that scientists come in many flavors. Among them are the bafflegab bullshitters. They can’t answer simple questions in a way that indicates they can apply theory outside the context in which it was learned.
My favorite example was the secretary who was usually better at predicting what the patients would do than her psychiatrist boss.
The people I respect can communicate with ordinary humans. By the time the conversation is over, folks feel enlightened.
Tim Ball can talk to farmers about the climate and they love and respect him. I guarantee that wouldn’t be their response to Michael Mann.
People deserve answers and those answers can’t be, “You have to believe me, I’m an expert.”
Interesting post. I have found that people who have to solve problems in the physical world such as plumbers, electricians, and auto mechanics, have a far better understanding of the Scientific Method than most academic scientists. and certainly far better than nyolci..
Well, a friend of mine is a plumber, I ask him next time. His father is a plumber too, so we may regard him as a plumber squared. Perhaps we can ask him to be the Resident Plumber here. He can do arbitration then. BTW, I have a lot of car electricians (is this the right English term?) among my friends too.
This is called popular scientific writing, and yes, it’s needed. As for scientific debates, that need scientific arguments, and that are usually well beyond the abilities of the general public. Here at WUWT you see amateurish attempts and downright bullshit. This is neither a scientific debate nor good at enlightening.
Read carefully. I said conversation not writing. I’m talking about people who can sit down and have a chat with others on a human to human basis.
I’m pretty careful.
Any realistic public debate would be in writing or between a very few people who can sit down together and have a chat. We are beyond the small village world for a few decades already. There are a lot of scientists who are eager to explain everything to you but they are much less in number than those they can have a friendly conversation.
The irony of you making that statement is, if we listen to the idiots you champion, we’ll be back to the “small village world” pretty quickly – the rest having starved or frozen to death after the “victory” of legislating fossil fuels out of existence.
debate produces EVIDENCE
You are RANTING….. with NO INTENTION of debating.
You come across as a failed lit student, with absolutely no science to back up anything you rant about
Its becomiing your MO .. its what you are
and its hilarious to watch the EMPTY, science-free, GARBAGE just spewing from you.
What qualifications do you have that allows you to categorise scientific debate, wherever it may be, as “amateurish” or “downright bullshit”?
Oops, how quickly we get back to that scary “authority” thing! MSc. I didn’t finish my PhD. I know I’m a failure.
Well WHERE IS IT ?
We are all still waiting for you to actually PRESENT some of your “scienceᴸᴼᴸ”
So far all you have produced is mindless, meaningless garbage.
Would you like to try some more of you continual petty distractions and inane rantings……
or will you actually get around to some ACTUAL SCIENCE .??
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
Every time somebody pulls the old and tired “appeal to authority” argument out for yet another spin, I can’t help but instantly have the image from the TV Transmission Repair Co. ad pop into my head where the guy at the counter tells the customer “Our mechanics are experts” – while behind him, a bunch of monkeys are beating on transmissions with sticks.
”The thing is that most people couldn’t understand a scientific debate. That’s why scientific debates should be done by (actual) scientists.”
Oh what a load of verbal vomit. This particular debate is very simple. Can it be proved that co2 has caused some or all of the modern warming or not?
We are not talking quantum physics.
If you cannot express your case in simple terms that anyone average person could understand, you don’t understand it yourself.
You talk as one who is monumentally deluded. You convince yourself you know what you’re talking about but you convince no-one else. All you seem to submit are words. Words which have little meaning. Your arguments are less than feeble, yet you believe in them. As I said elsewhere, possibly a psychological disorder.
WHAT IS YOU ANSWER? BACK YOUR ANSWER UP WITH EMPIRICAL EVIENCE.
Yes. See? That simple.
No. See? Even simpler. The null hypothesis wins!
Why? I’m listening. You have to explain a warming of 0.14C/decade without any human intervention.
nyolci,
This is a shifting the burden of proof fallacy or argumentum ad ignorantium. The null hypothesis is that nature controls climate change as it always has. If you think humans control climate change, you need some evidence.
I haven’t seen any other than climate models that are clearly too inaccurate to definitively show a human contribution. I’m not saying there isn’t any, just that there is no observational evidence.
On the other hand there is plenty of evidence that models have overestimated warming and ECS substantially, which makes a significant human contribution very unlikely. Lewis and Curry 2018 is a very good example of contrary observational evidence.
Andy, Andy, I don’t have to got to your place to give you a slap, you come to my place and ask for it 🙂
This is the good thing when I use science. All these things have been settled already. Now it is your turn to (how Willis said that?) poke holes into it. And I have to admit, you determination is great, although your only result so far is making a fool of yourself.
Andy, Andy, you’ve ruined even that minimal, nonexistent respect I’ve had towards you! We have an accurate instrumental record to prove without modelling that recent warming is due to anthropogenic emissions.
Again, you have kicked your own ass. This study is neither contrary nor observational. They accept AGW, whether you like it or not, regardless of the almost beautified status of Curry among deniers. In other words they take human forcing as given. So you reference this just after asserting that we can’t show the effects of human forcing. You deniers are so happily inconsistent in your arguments I really envy you.
So L&C make a case for a lower ECS but there are papers outside that argue against them, and very likely these latter are right. Anyway, this paper is a very rare example of an actual peer reviewed study from a “contrarian”, although the paper itself is not “contrarian”. Anyway it is a real participant in the actual scientific debate.
“This is the good thing when I use science”
And yet you have presented ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the way of actuial science
You are EMPTY.
You cannot really be asking someone to poke holes in science that YOU HAVE NOT PRESENTED.
Let’s talk Grimm Bros fairy tales.. they are about as relevant as your clap-trap. !
“I’m listening. You have to explain a warming of 0.14C/decade without any human intervention.”
The same magnitude of warming occurred during the period from 1910 to 1940, as occurred from 1980 to the present.
Much less CO2 was in the atmosphere from 1910 to 1940, than is in the atmosphere today (something like 280ppm verses 415ppm) yet it is no warmer today than it was when CO2 concentrations were much less.
So the temperature increased at the same rate in both time periods, got just as warm at the warmest point in both time periods, but one period,1910 to 1940, did it with much less CO2 in the atmosphere than the period from 1980 to the present. Obviously, there is something else besides CO2 involved in determining the Earth’s temperatures.
Well, no. The two values are 0.57 and 0.73 respectively. And 1910 was the middle of an exceptionally cold period, and 1940 to the contrary, was the middle of an exceptionally warm one.
No. 300-310 and 340-410+ resp. There’s increase, that’s true but you quoted bad data and the opposite extremes of two intervals.
No. It’s warmer by almost 1C now.
No. The rough decadal change is 0.19C and 0.1825C resp, for the whole 1980-2020 period but it’s accelerating now, the last decade’s rate is 0.27C, and that of the last two decades is 0.225C. These are rough numbers but the magnitude is telling. Actually if I play around with the intervals the way you did with 1910-40, I get 0.22C/decade for 1975-2020. I think we can safely conclude that warming is faster now.
Obviously we don’t need your plus hypothesis.
After MANY adjustments.
No it was FAR warmer during the MWP
NH was same or warmer in the 1940’s
Australia was far warmer in the 1880-1910 period
Now little science-free empty muppet…..
What caused the DROP into the LIA
Why are you SO DUMB that you think the NATURAL warming out of the coldest period in 10,000 years is anything but a huge PLUS for life on Earth.????
And proof of warming by atmospheric CO2
YOU STILL DON’T HAVE ANY !!
Sorry mindless anti-science cretin
Its been COOLING since the 2015 El Nino
Please don’t continue to compound your IGNORANCE by saying El Ninos are cause by human CO2
That would be TOO DUMB even fr you
You do know that the ONLY atmospheric warming in 42 years has come from those El Nino events, don’t you
Two zero trend periods between the last 3 major El Ninos (1979/80, 1998-1999, 2015-2017)
No warming from 1980-1997
No warming from 2001-2015
JUST EL NINO WARMING.
That means that there is ABSOLUTELY NO HUMAN FINGER-PRINT IN ANY WARMING in the satellite era.
That is what happens when you use science and data
Something you are INCAPABLE of doing.
Here’s one of your alarmist heroes refuting what you are saying:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8511670.stm
“Q&A: Professor Phil Jones
Phil Jones is director of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA), which has been at the centre of the row over hacked e-mails.
The BBC’s environment analyst Roger Harrabin put questions to Professor Jones, including several gathered from climate sceptics. The questions were put to Professor Jones with the co-operation of UEA’s press office.
A – Do you agree that according to the global temperature record used by the IPCC, the rates of global warming from 1860-1880, 1910-1940 and 1975-1998 were identical?
An initial point to make is that in the responses to these questions I’ve assumed that when you talk about the global temperature record, you mean the record that combines the estimates from land regions with those from the marine regions of the world.
CRU produces the land component, with the Met Office Hadley Centre producing the marine component.
Temperature data for the period 1860-1880 are more uncertain, because of sparser coverage, than for later periods in the 20th Century. The 1860-1880 period is also only 21 years in length. As for the two periods 1910-40 and 1975-1998 the warming rates are not statistically significantly different (see numbers below).
I have also included the trend over the period 1975 to 2009, which has a very similar trend to the period 1975-1998.
So, in answer to the question, the warming rates for all 4 periods are similar and not statistically significantly different from each other.”
end excerpt
Again, you shuffle the intervals around. You were talking about 1980-2020. During the last warming was faster, and if we take the last 30 years (comparable interval) the warming is again faster. But what is more important is that these results from Jones are completely in line with our knowledge of how AGW works.
Wrong.
The period from 1910 to 1940 and the period from 1980 to the present, warmed at the same rate, and reached the same level of warmth.
The period from 1998 to the present has not warmed, it has flatlined since 1998, with 1998 and 2016 being statistically tied for the warmest years since 1980. After 2016, the temperatures have cooled by about 0.4C.
Again, this is simply false. It stays false no matter how often you write it down.
Again, false. Actually, the top 10 warmest years on record are all after 2000, and 7 of them are after 2010. 2020 is the second just slightly after 2016.
Nobody has to explain that – it already occurred, long before there were any humans using fossil fuels to blame it on.
poor nyholist continues to fall back on arguements from ITS ignorance
So funny
The real and HIGHLY BENEFICIAL warming out of THE COLDEST PERIOD IN 10,000 years, could have come from any number of real sources.
Solar (grand solar maximum for most of the last 70 years)
Geothermal, (seismic activity correlated with atmospheric temperatures FAR better than CO2)
cloud changes: anti-correlates perfectly with temperatures
CO2 on the other hand, has NEVER been shown to cause atmospheric warming anywhere on the planet.
Prove me wrong.. I bet you can’t.
Produce the “science” that answers these questions
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
Or is actually finding REAL SCIENCE to back up your mindless ranting, too much for your feeble little mind ?
Well …… Where is your proof.. (AS IF)
Just saying it is TOTALLY MEANINGLESS , just like all your other juvenile non-science rantings.
Come on, ignorant putz…..
Two “simple” questions
We await your “scienceᴸᴼᴸ ”
(while rolling around in LAUGHTER at your clown act.)
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
But I’m guessing that all we will get is more chicken-little mindless attempts at distraction.
“Yes. See? That simple.”
You demonstrate just what Mike described with that reply.
“Yes. See? That simple.”
Perfect answer. That is not only true it is funny.
Simple is the only answer simple simon will ever have
No evidence or science .
just childish garblings.
It’s nonsensical.
Yes. See? That simple.”
What a surprise! A still-born answer.
nyolci gives a non-answer posing as an answer. I think that is his? stock in trade.
Because so-called climate scientists KNOW that they will get absolutely TROUNCED when debating on scientific FACTS
As you have shown time and time again
You have no scientifically provable facts to back up the whole AGW farce..
nyloci: If the science was settled we would know:
1) What really caused the ice ages. Sorry the Milankovitch cycles could be just a correlation.
2) Ice records show frequent changes of 1 degree C within less than a hundred. Again were clueless.
3) At the beginning of the interglacial global temperature at least a magnitude faster than it is now. Again we have no clue.
4) The melting of the north America ice sheet should not have been possible with the actual amount of incoming radiation. Again we dont know why.
Science is settled for recent anthropogenic warming due to buildup of greenhouse gasses. It doesn’t mean we know everything, neither it means we know all the minute details.
And a good one. As far as I know science is settled for this.
This is really a detail we should consult climate scientists about. Sudden changes in short intervals usually (but not neccessarily) mean internal variation.
This is plainly wrong.
Again, plainly wrong.
RUBBISH
not even a low-level AGW apologist can present any evidence for that.
Ignorance is your only fall-back.
You are PLAINLY WRONG is every other of your response, too..
Your admission of gross ignorance, is not needed, as it has been obvious from the start.
You mean like the natural and highly beneficial drop in sea ice from the extremes of the Little Ice Age ?
Arctic is LUVING the slight recovery from those extreme levels in the LIA and 1970s.
Not only is the land surface GREENING, but the seas are also springing BACK to life after being TOO COLD and frozen over for much of the last 500 or so years (coldest period of the Holocene)
The drop in sea ice slightly toward the pre-LIA levels has opened up the food supply for the nearly extinct Bowhead Whale, and they are returning to the waters around Svalbard.
https://partner.sciencenorway.no/arctic-ocean-forskningno-fram-centre/the-ice-retreats–whale-food-returns/1401824
The Blue Mussel is also making a return, having been absent for a few thousand years, apart from a brief stint during the MWP.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0959683617715701?journalCode=hola
Many other species of whale are also returning now that the sea ice extent has dropped from the extreme highs of the LIA. Whales cannot swim on ice. !
https://blog.poseidonexpeditions.com/whales-of-svalbard/
Great thing is, that because of fossil fuels and plastics, they will no longer be hunted for whale blubber for lamps and for whale bone.
Hopefully the Arctic doesn’t re-freeze too much in the next AMO cycle, and these glorious creatures get a chance to survive and multiply.
Only a COMPLETE MORON keeps regurgitating mantras he/she/it KNOWS it cannot present any actual empirical scientific evidence for.
Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
… or are you one of those COMPLETE MORONS.
All nyolci has is his deep seated religious convictions. He reminds me of young earthers using quotes from the Bible to disprove geological evidence.
Now putting aside the fact that you deniers accuse anyone as an atheist commie, why is that religious? Please explain me ‘cos I don’t know 🙂
You poor EMPTY sock, nyholist
Your religion is AGW.. its a mindless brain-washed CULT.
And you are TOO DUMB to realise it has snagged your inept little mind.
Yep, another puppet pops up out of the sock drawer.
Oh look. little nye continues to produce NO EVIDENCE
… thus proving he is one of those COMPLETE MORONS.
Once again, nyolci, the non-scientist, rejects even the existence of the Null hypothesis.
To it, the fact that we don’t know what caused all of the other warm and cold periods from the planets history simply doesn’t matter, because the sacred models have proven that the current warming is caused by CO2.
IPCC said it, I believe it, that settles it.
BTW, I notice that once again, nyolci actually believes that just declaring someone wrong, is sufficient to disprove that persons statements.
nyolci wouldn’t know science if it came up and bit it on the butt.
I have to admit I’m a sinner ‘cos every day from 5 pm to 6 pm I reject the Null Hypothesis 🙂
I guess your null hypothesis is that the warming (that is observational record but some of the geniuses here deny even that 🙂 ) so the warming is (a) internal variation (b) radiation variation (c) has geothermal origin (d) I don’t know (e) etc. (f) the combination of all these. See, I don’t reject the existence of the null hypothesis, I readily admit it exists. (Okay, seriously, always be careful with your language…) The thing is that these were examined and settled long ago. Radiation and geothermal activity have a very good observational record. Internal variability is a bit more complicated but the mere length of the observational record (30+ years) and the very weak evidence for long cycles (or long term energy buffers) makes this null hypothesis invalid. All the while the “non-null” hypothesis of AGW is a perfect match.
Was it the IPCC? I thought the Pope said that… 🙂
Huh, again declarations, ignorance and inconsistency. You looked a bit more organized in thought than this clown show. This look turned out to be a mirage. Okay, let’s do some business.
Yes in general, but we have a very good understanding of recent periods and the main driver looks to be incoming radiation changes due to perturbations in Earth’s orbit.
Bullshit or rather a show of ignorance. ‘Cos this is not even a result of modelling (though modelling results agree with it). We have very good measurements of all variables going back 30-40 years. We know incoming energy, outgoing energy, absorption, etc. The only good hypothesis for observed warming is CO2 induced greenhouse effect.
Even this inference is bogus. We don’t necessarily have to know why warming or cooling happened in the past if we can prove it’s happening for this or that reason now.
And yet you have ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE of warming by atmospheric CO2
You are obviously NOT A SCIENTIST, because a real scientist would admit to the total lack of real evidence.
You are NOTHING but a brain-washed cultist.
And you CAN’T !!!
“The thing is that these were examined and settled long ago.”
Who did this?
Climate scientists. The IPCC reports give you a good summary.
argumentum ad populum
Still running away from presenting evidence
Was a sad empty sock you are.
“IPCC”
A POLITICAL summary
divorce utter from actual science.
The IPCC changes their “settled” science every time they do a new report.
The science isn’t settled, contrary to your claim.
Blatant misinformation/LIE.
And yet you cannot provide any evidence
Why is that ???
We know it is BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE ANY.
It is a failed and totally destroyed “conjecture”, unbacked by any actual empirical science.
So much so that it is nothing but a leftist political means to an end.
Let’s try again, so you can duck and weave, much to the HILARITY of all present. 🙂
Its great entertainment watching you continually falling flat on your a**e
Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
So … once again you demonstrate your ignorance of science by pretending to understand the null hypothesis. Rather than destroy your pathetic effort line by line, I’ll direct you to a rather good paper from this blog … 4 years ago by David Middleton:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/04/17/the-good-the-bad-and-the-null-hypothesis/
Your continued use of gibberish is just painful to read. You know nothing about “climate science” because you know even less about actual science.
Oops, you’ve caught me… 🙂 The null hypothesis here is that there’s no anthropogenic forcing. With this constraint you have to give explanation at least for the last 40 years when we have very good observational data. You failed that. The null hypothesis failed. Not for just the last 40 years but due to increasingly accurate reconstructions for both climate and greenhouse gasses, the time depth got much longer.
This poor fellow had to admit that the MWP was slightly colder than what we have, cos, well, when you try to use science to disprove science, you get self contradictory soon:
He used a single CO2 record (Law Dome) to prove his thesis, all the while we have quite comprehensive reconstructions with error bands, etc.
You are doing an ABSOLUTE SMACK-UP job of proving to EVERYBODY that it is certainly IS NOT CO2
Please keep ducking and weaving..
Please keep RUNNING AWAY from producing actual evidence
You are one of our greatest assets against the AGW SCAM. 🙂
Current SLIGHTLY warm period is COOLER than the MWP
That is what “THE SCIENCE” says
GET OVER IT !!
You have a wrong null hypothesis. It should be “current warming is entirely due to anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide and that natural variation has ceased”.
I’ll bet 99+% of the studies you find assume all the current warming is due to anthropogenic generation of CO2 which automatically assumes that natural variation has ceased.
Proving that natural variation has ceased is essential to the hypothesis of CAGW.
The “null hypothesis” is the other way around, ie. anthropogenic forcing has no role, so anything that happened since -say- 1975 is entirely due to natural causes.
And you’ll bet wrong.
You’re eager to be plainly wrong. Furthermore scientists are eager to explain these things to you.
No show me a paper predicting warming from CO2 that has an allowance for natural variation. They all assume all the warming has been due to increased CO2. Therefore, the null is that natural variation has ceased.
nyolci
This post is quite good and you should re-read it. You have violated all the excellent scientific maxims that David included.
From David’s post:
0.2 degrees is very small and below even modern estimates of error using existing thermometers and data. The rest of the quote is important. Modern records are precise in time, we know the time, at least to the day, of every measurement. The measurements are good, normally to +-0.2 degrees or so.
Proxy data from 1,000 years ago?? The time that these represent is often not even precise as to the month, sometimes not to the year or decade. When you combine these proxies, even if each proxy is accurate in temperature (probably not), you are always mixing proxies from different dates, thus you lower the variability, lose the peaks and valleys and smooth the record. Comparing temperatures from the last twenty years to temperatures from 1,000 years ago and claiming that a 0.2 degree difference is significant is foolish.
It all boils down to resolution. 99.9% of “unprecedented” climate change claims involve an observation from high resolution instrumental data, not being observable in low resolution proxy data.
0.2 degrees is around the estimate of decadal warming during the 2000s. It looks small but it is not, and it’s readily measurable regardless of the fact that individual thermometers have lower resolution. You have to use proper mathematical treatment for those time series etc. Ask Nick, he looks knowledgeable in this.
If it is the case then this is another proof that the MWP was anything but global and/or (temporally) persistent. Moreover, our current estimates for the MWP peak is 1C lower (not 0.2) than what we have today. We reached MWP levels in the 60s.
… is completely possible with good scientific work.
“The null hypothesis here is that there’s no anthropogenic forcing. “
Nyolci, you showed yesterday that there isn’t no such thing as forcing.
“Oooops”, yourself. Either properly read Dr. Middleton’s paper or step back and allow people who do understand it to discuss the topic without your trolling. Your hand waving comes nowhere close to falsifying his thesis.
What he actually said was:
and:
He illustrates each point with graphs.
It is obvious from Dr. Middleton’s paper that there has been no evidence based falsification of the null hypothesis. All inference that there is a strong anthropogenic signal within the noise of natural variation is founded on conjecture, speculation and sociopolitical flatulence.
Law Dome is the only pre-instrumental CO2 record with a resolution comparable to the modern instrumental record.
Law Dome is only one of the proxies used to reconstruct CO2 levels. This is especially important when you try to correlate the record with the reconstruction of other variables (as you did). Other proxies have very different runs precisely around the onset of current warming trend.
The only good hypothesis for observed warming is CO2 induced greenhouse effect. You’re saying the science is settled based on the “only good hypothesis”? In your mind there are no other possibilities? There’s are real scientist. I guess question everything is out of the question.
Yes. Very good match.
In my mind there are. But we all have to face reality. The above hypothesis got confirmed. You know after a while things settle. An illustration: after thousands and thousands of experiments, the hypothesis of Energy Conservation was confirmed. There are no other possibilities. Actually, we can fantasize about divine intervention etc. but no one seriously questions this law.
“Yes. Very good match.”
No a FAILED conjecture
You KNOW you can’t produce any evidence
Look at the hilarious and MANIC twisting and turning you go through to avoid and distract from actually producing what you KNOW you haven’t got
Try again, putz
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
RUBBISH…
You can “say” it but you CANNOT produce any actual evidence
How handy for a scientific NON-ENTITY like you.
Ignorance of the realities of atmospheric physics totally elude you, poor mouth- muppet. !
CO2 IS NOT A POSSIBLITY
The laws of thermodynamics exclude warming by atmospheric CO2.. again.. (you only deal with AGW mantra pap, so you wouldn’t understand basic physics.).
Warming by atmospheric CO2 has NEVER been observed or measured anywhere on the planet
Prove me wrong
PRESENT EVIDENCE , not just more mindless pap.
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
Or you could just continue your mindless anti-science zero-evidence yabbering.
More UTTER BS
NO MATCH AT ALL. over most of the last 10,000 years
No match over the COOLING period from 1940-1970
No match over the ZERO TREND period from 1980-1997 or 2001-2015
But you DON’T…
….. all you have is mantra propaganda
REALITY is not even in your horizon !!
Laws of energy conservation preclude warming by atmospheric CO2.
Sorry your “science” understanding is SO WOEFUL that you can’t comprehend that.
Science is settled for recent anthropogenic warming due to buildup of greenhouse gasses. It doesn’t mean we know everything, neither it means we know all the minute details.
Wrong. Science is never “settled” under any circumstances.
And a good one. As far as I know science is settled for this.
That’s the problem with you. You know nothing so you’re happy to accept nonsense.
This is plainly wrong.
No it is plainly correct. According to several proxies, the post Younger Dryas warming immediately preceding the Holocene Thermal Maximum warmed many times faster than the post LIA warming. That is not theory. That is factual.
Your grasp of the basics of climatology are so minute, I again wonder why you are entering this debate.
As soon as ANYONE says that “science is settled”…
….. you KNOW that are NOT A SCIENTIST…… of any sort.
A low level propagandist.. at best.
It is probably THE MOST IGNORANT statement the AGW cultists have ever made.
So it is obviously one that the nyholist would choose to use.
🙂 I like these declarations. Okay then. How about the Law of the Conservation of Energy? Is that not settled either? Be careful! Questioning certain things in science will put you into the flatearthers’ camp 🙂
Yes, several proxies show extreme rapid warming but the overall, global rate was quite evenly 0.05C/decade, less than half of what we have today.
“I like these declarations. Okay then. How about the Law of the Conservation of Energy? Is that not settled either? Be careful! Questioning certain things in science will put you into the flatearthers’ camp.”
The beautiful thing about science is that everything is open to question … even the laws of science. But of course, for you, “climate science” is a doctrinaire religious experience.
“Yes, several proxies show extreme rapid warming but the overall, global rate was quite evenly 0.05C/decade, less than half of what we have today.”
More nonsense. There is evidence of the effects of the Younger Dryas and recovery in Greenland, Asia, South America, Australia and Antarctica … very GLOBAL. What post LIA warming we have experienced is rather insignificant and all arguably natural.
“Isotope data from the GISP2 Greenland ice core suggests that Greenland was more than~10°C colder during the Younger Dryas and that the sudden warming of 10° ±4°C that ended the Younger Dryas occurred in only about 40 to 50 years”.
Thank you. Please go question these laws. The French Academy was the first that declared (in 1775) it would no longer deal with submissions about the perpetuum mobile. Waste of time.
Please try to counter what I claim not what you think I claim. I didn’t claim it wasn’t global. I only claimed the global rate was whatever while at certain places it was extremely fast.
I have countered and falsified everything you have claimed … book, chapter and verse. You’re just too dim to realize it. You still haven’t falsified the null hypothesis. You need to get busy with that before you embarrass yourself further.
Your display of outright ignorance continues to the hilarious laughing of EVERYONE
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
Everyone is watching you slither and slime like the demented eel that you are, as you avoid presenting any actual evidence.
You mean like Trenberh et al ?
Law of conservation of energy showed those dolts were “creating” energy from nowhere.. fantasy physics…
Conservation of energy PROVES that the CO2 nonsense is a failed conjecture right from the very outset.
Warming from Younger Dryas was FASTER and much more sustained than the very slight warmingwe have fortunately had since the coldest period in 10,000 years.
You have now been reduced to desperate LIES and MISINFORMATION .. as you sink further and further into the slimy green sludge of your brain-washed, nil-educated, ineffectual, malfunctioning mind.
Your second point ” involving outsiders and amateurs in scientific debates” firstly the debate is no longer scientific it’s political because politicians use science as a front to close down debate. Second the outsiders and amateurs pay higher taxes and inflated utility bills, they have every right to question and debate why they are worse off. Third a well informed outsider and amateur would give you a bloody good hiding.
At his core, nyolci is very much an elitist.
He actually believes that only those who have been properly anointed should be permitted to do science.
An who does this anointing? Obviously, only the existing high priests are qualified to anoint new scientists.
MarkW, You hit the nail on the head.
Well, I’m the elite 😉
No. I actually believe that only those who have been studying these fields (beside being properly anointed) should be permitted to do science. And the fact is that this is the case, it’s not just my belief. You wouldn’t get an appointment to any meaningful scientific research institute or body without a proper degree (and relevant publications).
Upvoting your own posts?
How pathetic.
You aren’t even an elite as a village clown.. very low-level
You have proven you are a mathematic and scientific NON-ENTITY. !
You are so egotistical, that you don’t even realise that you are FAILING SCIENCE at every post you make
Its hilarious watch you duck and weave
ROFLMAO..
so Einstein wasn’t allowed to do science
You are such a moronic putz !!
Notanacademic,
Exactly! Politics corrupts science absolutely, once politics and government money enters the sphere, science stops.
Exactly. Good illustration is this site.
Most basic research is done with government financing. Even today.
This why most basic research done today is simply creating plots for disaster movies, looking for the next fad disaster. Remember the global cooling scare when temperatures fell from 1945 to 1979? Then it quickly became a global warming scare when temperature began to rise. What about the Y2K scare? How much did we spend on that nonsense.
Government funded research is a useless waste of money. It also takes some of our best minds away from research that can better our lives as opposed to research that simply throws our government money down the toilet.
Fixed that for you.
Why is that this libertarian mindset correlates almost perfectly with being a science denier? I know, correlation is not causation…
Yep, it shines a light on how much politics has CORRUPTED climate science.
Yep.. good for BASIC research.. ie several levels above anything you have done
Anyone with any real nous can earn far more and do far better work in the non-public sector
If politicians use science as a front to close down political debate, I can only support them. It is well known and well documented that deniers have been bankrolled by (mostly) big oil with the intention to claim “doubt” about science. Now this is unacceptable.
A politician using science or any other appeal to authority to close down debate is hiding something (you support that ) otherwise why wouldn’t they welcome debate it’d make them look good, or at least a bit better than they normally look.
More LIES and deceits to cover up your IGNORANCE and INCOMPETENCE.
So funny
Most REALIST SCIENTIST are not funded by big oily blobs.
Let’s see if you can answer a simple question
What do we DENY that you have solid scientific proof for.
Let’s watch your puerile and ignorant mind come up with more pathetic fantasies
Don’t forget.. you have to actually PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE
Something you have been TOTALLY INCAPABLE of doing in any of your mindless rants as yet.
Here’s your chance to show you actually know what “SCIENCE ” is.
I bet you FAIL UTTERLY yet again
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
I can show your conjecture is false by showing that I have never received 1 penny of reimbursement from “big oil”. Besides which, you are the denier because you are denying that natural variation has any part in CAGW. Even Stokes’ Global Average Temperature is used to show that all warming is due to CO2 only with no natural variation occurring at all.
Because you haven’t tried hard enough! 😉 I’m not talking about you. Most of the people here are basically cannon fodder in the debate. A few who actually and very likely know what he or she is talking about are the ones who in some way get the money and support. McI1 and McI2 know very well what they do is shit. Judith Curry talks shit on her blog but carefully avoids any denier idiocy in her scientific publications. I’m not sure about Watts, he sometimes appears genuinely stupid not just dishonest.
nyolci, you really are a liberal fascist aren’t you. Sorry free speech is universal, or not at all.
nyolcy,
There is far less of this than you think, certainly I’m not paid for this work. I’m only paid for the books I sell.
But, even if it were true, what of it? You can’t seriously be saying that “big oil” has no freedom of speech? The Supreme Court definitively says otherwise. Either everyone has free speech, or no one has it. According to you only people you like get freedom of speech, sorry it doesn’t work that way.
“mostly” bankrolled. I say nearly all funding for the alarmists is from the government, and the alarmists do whatever the government bureaucrats say, whether it is true or not. The U.S. government dictated that the scientific work in chapter 8 of SAR be changed, and it was.
https://andymaypetrophysicist.com/2020/11/09/sar-the-turning-point/
Politicians dictating scientific outcomes, now that is unacceptable.
The trouble is that peer review has become pal review. You really are an idiot.
Once again the warmunist declares that science can only be done by those who have received the proper anointing from fully recognized authority figures.
What we are doing here is better peer review than what is done in any of the once vaunted science journals. Peer review in the so called science journals has become pal review, where friends an allies of the papers authors are selected to do the reviewing.
1) Once again, the warmunist declares that only those that it recognizes as scientists have opinions that matters. nyolci doesn’t want science, it wants an ordained priesthood who protects their beliefs from all outsiders who would challenge the sacred texts.
2) According to the warmunist, the mere fact that the so called insiders have lost every single debate they have ever engaged in has nothing to do with the fact that they now refuse to debate. Apparently debating with those who disagree with you is a waste of time. The true purpose of science is to protect what you wish to believe from those who have different views.
3) According to the warmunist, if one non-insider produces a report that the insiders consider to be second rate, that is proof that all non-insiders must be ignored.
Once again, the warmunist, while thinking it is protecting “science” from the uninitiated, instead proves that there is no science in climate science. There is only group think and a deep seated desire to cancel anyone who disagrees with them.
“If you disagree with me, you must be wrong!”
What a sad way to view inquiry.
Exactly, with a small correction: only those who are scientists in the relevant field.
Small correction: They didn’t lost.
Well, being outsider means the expectation is that you produce shit. And outsiders live up this expectation with extremely rare exceptions. And if you think hard (pls at least try!) you can understand why. You have to learn for years any stem subject (well, mostly the mathematical model of these subjects and the relevant mathematical fields to understand these models). An outsider usually has a very vague or entirely missing understanding of the models, mathematical tools and general knowledge of subjects. No wonder he/she produces second rate reports. This is entirely expected.
NB. a mathematical model of a subject is not that scary modelling you usually speak about. Quantum Mechanics is a mathematical model of Physics. General Relativity is another, incompatible one, to make things confusing for outsiders like you. In everyday practice we use the Newtonian model of Physics, that is a good approximation of both the above models at certain energy levels, sizes and speeds.
Still at puerile, trivial and IGNORANCE meaningless and irrelevant attempts to argue from lack of authority
Science is about EVIDENCE
and you are a scientific ABYSS. an NULL, and EMPTY SOCK. !
Not one bit of scientific evidence in any of your ranting, ignorant posts
Your remarks are stupid. Climate is very complicated and requires a broad variety of scientific knowledge to encompass all of the necessary components. This broadly includes, physicists, chemists, geologists, etc. How many so called climate scientists have advanced degrees in these areas and subareas that can discuss the in and outs of all the interactions in a coupled non-linear chaotic system? Why is it so hard to find multi-disciplinary authors involved real studies of how the atmosphere works?
Look at Dr. Happer who has been trashed by CAGW gurus such as yourself. He is an award winning academic who has spent his career researching the very things that are pertinent to climate interactions. But instead of being lauded, his position on CO2 makes him a stupid old man that just doesn’t understand that the science is already settled according to you. Great position to take for someone who has no background in his specialty at all.
Was this supposed to be a serious question? Lemme answer with two questions. (1) How many scientists have multiple degrees in any field? FYI in modern science each and every field has quite a few overlapping fields. (2) In any scientific field how many researches are there who came from other, related fields?
Peer review has absolutely NOTHING to do with debate. It is nothing more than means to vet prospective candidate’s work before publication. Peer review has nothing whatever to do with validating the paper’s premise. It merely benefits editors.
Furthermore, until very recently “amateurs” were the mainstay of all serious research, because they did it for the “love” of the discipline, not for remuneration. Publishing and money has turned much of science into a mockery today.
Yippee !..
Someone who ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS the purpose of peer-review for journal publication
I have told true believers that fact so often even I’m bored with it. You know their pitch … “that paper isn’t peer reviewed” … or the variation; “oh, THAT publication only uses denier reviewers!”.
What they ACTUALLY mean by “peer review” is an appeal to authority … but only their authority. With these people one needn’t even touch on much of the science. Simply citing their particular choice of logical fallacy destroys their argument.
The identity ‘nyolci’ must be another outsider, otherwise he/she wouldn’t be here debating other outsiders.
Exactly. That’s why I listen to the trained and experienced experts (ie. climate scientists) of this field.
I don’t debate you. I bury you.
“I bury you.”
In loads of total BS
NO SCIENCE INVOLVED.. not anywhere.
Its hilarious that you think your EMPTY BLATHER wins anything ! 🙂
Now he sounds like Nikita Krusteyev.
A Watermelon, through-and-through.
I was thinking Bill Nye.
The baseless arrogance and egotism is there.
…and the massive Dunning-Krugger effect.
No. I sound like Nikita Krushchev.
“Exactly. That’s why I listen to the trained and experienced experts (ie. climate scientists) of this field.”
Gotcha, Nancy … you rely on the “real” science guys, like Bill Nye and Al Gore. No wonder you’re so informed. As Fred said, you “bury” us in BS. Debating isn’t part of your skill set.
No. I rely on scientists. Like Michael Mann.
“No. I rely on scientists. Like Michael Mann.”
Yeah … we know you do. LOL That’s why we know you haven’t the vaguest idea about climate science. Mann was a “useful idiot” for their cause. History will not be kind to him. His hockey stick is proven science fraud.
Nyolci, You have to be kidding. Is this the same Michael Mann that used manipulated data, invalid statistical methods (EOFs), reached invalid conclusions and then attempted to hide the evidence? That Michael Mann? The one that was humiliated by the National Academy of Sciences in their 2006 report and by the Wegman Committee, in 2010? Not to mention the various critiques of his work by McIntyre and McKitrick. All of Mann’s reconstructions have been shown to be incorrect. Even Keith Briffa distanced himself and IPCC from the hockey stick in AR4, and he was Mann’s friend. Let’s compare Mann’s hockey stick with a more modern and substantiated reconstruction by Christiansen.
See above for the plot.
No, a different one. The Real Mann.
I’d like to quote Ljungqvist who introduced the method used:
“Our temperature reconstruction agrees well with the reconstructions by Moberg et al. (2005) and Mann et al. (2008) with regard to the amplitude of the variability as well as the timing of warm and cold periods, except for the period c. AD 300–800, despite significant differences in both data coverage and methodology.”
Like most alarmists you don’t bother to check your facts. This is how Christiansen, Moberg and Mann actually compare. All anomalies are moved to 1902-1973 and all are smoothed using the same algorithm. Obviously Ljunqvist misspoke or you are quoting him out of context. Except in general shape the reconstructions are very, very different.
“No. I rely on scientists. Like Michael Mann.”
That’s where you went astray. You have put your faith in make-believe.
nyholist licks mickey mann’s butt yet again
SO IGNORANT that he can’t see what a disgrace Mann is as a scientist, mathematician,, and particularly as a person.
Worshiping a third rate fraud and a low-level mathematician.
Just your type.. when is the wedding ???
Until co-opted to fabricate the fraudulent hockey stick….
….. Mickey Mann was a total non-entity.
His one claim to fame is proven statistical malpractice and blatant scientific fraud.
He is still NOTHING but a low-level con-man and anti-science hack.
Just the sort of person you would worship.
Here is Mann’s Hockey stick versus a more modern one by Christiansen and Ljungqvist (2011).
Mickey Mann’s data WITHOUT his fraudulent (or statistically incompetent, you chose which)… application of tree ring data
Again.. from a REAL scientist.
Only a rabid anti-science cultist takes known incompetence (or blatant fraud) over the SCIENTIFIC work of thousands of other studies.
Ignoring science, in preference to fraud, seems to be nye‘s way.
“Mickey Mann’s data WITHOUT his fraudulent (or statistically incompetent, you chose which”
I’ll go with fraudulent.
It looks like a comparison of two Hockey Stick charts.
I’d like to quote Ljungqvist who introduced the method used:
“Our temperature reconstruction agrees well with the reconstructions by Moberg et al. (2005) and Mann et al. (2008) with regard to the amplitude of the variability as well as the timing of warm and cold periods, except for the period c. AD 300–800, despite significant differences in both data coverage and methodology.”
He is either very wrong or you’ve quoted him out of context. See plot above.
Okay, he is very wrong here with the comparison (huh, how can this be out of context? 🙂 ) but very right with the results. This is very suspicious with regard to consistency, this is my hunch feelin’…
And you decide who is one or isn’t, right ?
No. There’s a proper process how it’s decided.
Of course there is a proper process. It’s called the scientific method, something you seem to be having trouble following. Mann’s “hockey stick” paper doesn’t even qualify as valid science because it fails to follow proper protocol, lacking several key components, like method and identification of certain data.Mann is a pretentious hack and was exposed as such in the BC Supreme Court.
WRONG
FACTS and EVIDENCE decide
You you have NEITHER. !!
“right forum for that is peer reviewed literature”
Looks like someone is blissfully unaware of the replicability crisis.
How many peer reviewed articles, chapters etc. have you published, nyolci? There is nothing better than having significant personal experience in academic publishing to make you aware of how flawed that process is.
Not many but I have the experience. It’s a slow and error prone process but still much better than amateur forums and “experts” paid by industry and right wing think tanks.
Now that’s what I call BS. In natural sciences this kind of problems are discovered extremely fast. I don’t know (and I don’t care) about social sciences.
So yes, you ADMIT to the replication farce.. AGW is a TOTAL scientific farce from start to finish
I suspect you actually KNOW that..
All you have is EMPTY BLATHER..
And falling back on that “right wing think tank ” nonsense… hilarious…..
And of course, totally un-backed by any evidence….
Even so.. Nearly all the AGW non-science is back by ultra-left wing socialist/marxist wannabes !
ITS ALL JUST A FANTASY GAME to you, isn’t it.
The FACT that you can’t produce any evidence at all for the most basic lie of the AGW scam, really says it all
Here’s your opportunity…..
Will you care to actually attempt to produce some of your “scienceᴸᴼᴸ”
Or will you continue to duck and weave like a headless chook. !
1… Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?
2… In what ways has the global climate changed in the last 50 years , that can be scientifically proven to be of human released CO2 causation?
“Not many but I have the experience. It’s a slow and error prone process but still much better than amateur forums and “experts” paid by industry and right wing think tanks.”
You might be interested that “amateur” scientists outnumber the professionals by at least three orders of magnitude. The group you rely on are paid handsomely by billionaire globalists … the ones who buy elections and pay off politicians to endorse disastrous “green” policies (like Obama).
The fact is, judging by your responses so far, you have NO science background.
Huh, what a huge crowd… And they are still unable to produce a single study… Well, perhaps quantity and quality have a non trivial connection.
Well, this is a good illustration why you shouldn’t judge other people if you make a mistake in a simple thing like this.
”
“Huh, what a huge crowd… And they are still unable to produce a single study… Well, perhaps quantity and quality have a non trivial connection.”
It’s clearly the general consensus of this board that your grasp of the science is picayune at best and political as well.
Are you really this delusional?
I’m not delusional at all. Simple arithmetic, based on Legates et al (2013) clearly indicates that if only 0.3% subscribe to the standard definition, then 99.7% do not.

Climate Consensus and ‘Misinformation’: A Rejoinder to Agnotology, Scientific Consensus, and the Teaching and Learning of Climate Change
Rory, Its no use presenting science, facts or reality to nye.
He deliberately refused to try to comprehend either.
Only DELUSION is yours… nye
You show utter GULLIBILITY..
… you obviously don’t have the scientific background to do anything else.
A TRUE statement from Rory…
nye responds with a bit of mindless gish….
Well, nye, how about you starting making scientific responses….
… if you don’t want to continue to show yourself as nothing but a ranting scientific illiterate.
You just keep spouting stupid stuff. You want a single study DISPROVING CO2 is causing warming. Have you ever heard the phrase that you “can’t prove a negative true”? Your very stance displays how far out of the ball game you are. It is not up to people to prove a negative. It is up to the purveyors of the hypothesis to prove it correct with real physical evidence from experiments.
All most of us have seen so far are attempts to show correlations through models, statistics, and outright fabrications. Correlations are never going to prove anything. You can find all kinds of things that correlate with temperature rise from things like stocks and bonds to cattle futures. That is not proof.
Somehow you always get these things wrong. I want a single study that show the last 50 years’ climate record is reproducible without the CO2 increase (or CO2’s effect is negligible), just as a result of natural variability. We know every factor very well (like incoming and outgoing radiation, precipitation, cloud cover, surface temperature). Just give one single realistic model that gives us this. Not even exactly but something similar. And you couldn’t. Climate scientists were even able to quantify the extent how you can’t do that, and it turned out that the “probability” that what we’ve had in the last 50 years is due to natural variability is very low, while the other hypothesis is much more likely.
Yes. The correct formulation is “you can’t prove a negative”, and it’s logically false. In real life it is OFTEN hard to prove a negative but not impossible (or not always impossible). In other words this is a so called heuristics.
You are a man of proclamations. Most of what we know in natural sciences is more or less the result of observational knowledge, and generalizations. These generalizations in turn are the axioms in the relevant mathematical models. Eg. the law of the conservation of energy. This is an observational law. In these models you can prove things but the most basic laws are just observations that are persistently turn out to be the same. Correlations, in the most general sense.
“peer reviewed articles, chapters etc. have you published, nyolci?”
“Not many but I have the experience.”
OK lets see a list of your publications.
“In natural sciences this kind of problems are discovered extremely fast. I don’t know (and I don’t care) about social sciences.”
Do you think medicine is a social science? The replicability crisis has been glaringly evident there.
https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124
No. And you know why. I don’t want to be the target of agitated idiots. I would say you can publish your list of publications (if you have) ‘cos you’re not in danger being an idiot yourself but I know these idiots tend to harm even their own folk out of confusion and incoherence so I recommend you keep quiet.
No. Accidentally medicine is just another field where big money plays a role. Just like big oil money in the case of climate science denial.
“you can publish your list of publications (if you have)”
Your implication that I haven’t been published is also wrong. Here’s my list–nothing spectacular, but enough experience to have a good handle on the weaknesses of peer review.
https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ghbDJA0AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao
Unlike you I’m not afraid of “agitated idiots,” despite threats from climate alarmists to punish climate realists as well as actual violence from that quarter. I put my name on my posts.
Let’s see a list of the names of journals, periodicals, etc. your research has been published in. And the citation counts.
“medicine is just another field where big money plays a role”
Ah, the capitalist conspiracy theory again.
I didn’t imply that. I stayed as neutral as possible regarding this important question.
Sorry, no, and I can’t understand why you push this topic. This is completely irrelevant to the debate here.
Exactly. You know conspiracy theory against conspiracy theory. ‘cos the best deniers could come up with for the question “why” is that the left has an agenda so it’s pushing scientists with grants to the “right direction”. Why the left has this agenda is usually explained away with some incoherent bs, and why the scientists jump to the bandwagon so eagerly in such overwhelming numbers is also hardly explained. Besides there’s no evidence. All the while my conspiracy theory is well documented and supported (including the money flow).
I actually participate in medical research now (as the nth author, nothing special) and while this is my anecdotal evidence, I do have some first hand experience. The situation is not bad at the level I’m involved but there’s a rush for a certain kind of data set (I don’t specify) by big players to utilize in products.
Yep, you yet again DUCKED and WEAVED to produce LIES and MISINFORMATION
Not one bit of actual sceince or reality in your whole mindless rant.
Only people DENYING actual science are people like YOU.
What do we DENY that you are able to produce actual real scientific evidence for ?
Alert.. that means YOU will have to actually PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE
Something you have done everything in your mindless rant to AVOID producing
A typical Mannian tactic.
If the guy had any interest in providing evidence, either by way of his own credentials or something other than hand waving to support his other claims, he wouldn’t be calling himself nyocli.
He’s justifiably embarrassed to post under his own name, just as several others are here. He has nothing to offer but boiler plate “climate change” orthodoxy.
Exactly. He would be calling himself Rory Forbes.
If your name was Rory Forbes, like mine, you’d use it instead of making up some nonsense nick-name to hide your real identity.
You’re a coward.
Correction: worse than a coward. 😉
You have demonstrated you are just a nasty snark machine.
How unusual.
You should care about social sciences, you are a case for. 😀
A case for historical linguistics? 🙂
So is “climate science”
its about “climate”
but as you keep showing.. its NOT about real science.
Maybe you would like yet another opportunity to show us your “science”..
….. or you could continue to show that your climate “science” is anything but actual science
Do you have any empirical scientific evidence for warming by atmospheric CO2?

You have said nothing about the central point of Andy’s above article namely that the organisation falsified it’s record about the debate result. We can assume from this that you are happy with public lying and NKVD-style falsifying of history. Your self-confessed intolerance of scientific debate makes it clear that the actual science is irrelevant to you, that you are a common and garden ecofa5cist.
He is a self-proclaimed communist, for whom lying is second nature.
sarahpalin,
That genius Andy didn’t notice that there was an online poll as well, and the published results were the combination of the online and audience polls. The rest of your rant is of course irrelevant. BTW a good lesson for you ‘cos no one here in this great collection of Galileis and Einsteins noticed that.
Combining different types of data?
Sounds like Mike’s Nature trick.
i.e. instrumental data added to palaeo data.
Or temperature homogenisation.
I guess once you’ve caught the bug, you just can’t leave original data alone 😀
No. Same type of data.
WRONG
So you haven’t read mickey mann’s attempt at a paper.
These continual displays of GROSS IGNORANCE are not helping your cause, little nye,.
nyolci, Not only an exceptionally ignorant elitist, but also a lazy one. A quick use of the wayback machine to 2 Feb. 2017 shows what the online results were before they were fraudulently edited. Post-debate the online viewers were 99% for the motion. They went from 33% to 99%. An even bigger win for the skeptics. Like most elitists you will say they are too ignorant and unqualified to decide and people like you need to tell them what to believe. This was the attitude that got Trump elected in the first place.
I think even you recognize these results are “wrong”. Or perhaps “preliminary”? This is speculation on my part but a 66 percentage point change is a thing we can safely exclude. The now reported result is likely the correct one.
Poor nyhoilist.. again PROVEN WRONG
Again goes on a mindless rant, deplete of any actual sceince or evidence of any kind
Preliminary?? This was the web page ten years after the debate! These are the results as announced by NPR a week after the debate. Nyolci, wake up.
You need time for good work 🙂 Sorry but whether this particular polling is correct or not is such an irrelevant question I can’t take it seriously.
Nyolci! You obviously have no scientific training. Data is irrelevant?? You disregard the facts, and only go on opinion? Political science major no doubt. BTW, “political science” is an oxymoron.
There IS data that’s irrelevant, right? 🙂 And this is, for sure. A (very likely imagined) victory in a town hall like debate is surely extremely relevant.
It was my understanding that the debate was NOT to establish the veracity of the hypothesis but rather to test whether public opinion would change if exposed to arguments from both sides.
The latter test seemed to be revealing.
This sounds correct. And it’s revealing indeed. Well, you can’t explain this to deniers who make a triumph on par with El Alamein and Stalingrad out of this.
No the deniers are NOT US.
You have proven that it is YOU that DENIES actual science
What do we DENY that you can actual produce scientific proof for?
So far you have presented NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE of anything.
Just a continued technocolor spew of mind-numbed empty mantra splatter.
Its as if YOU KNOW that you have no actual real scientific evidence.
All you have is “Arguement by ranting”
Things are bad. The Democrats didn’t learn their lesson from President Trump’s election four years ago. Now we have the storming of congress.
Truth and honesty have taken second place to the end justifies the means. The left thinks it’s OK to lie as long as it’s for the cause.
If the Democrats think President Trump was bad, what’s coming may be much much worse. They should straighten up and fly right before it’s too late.
They should start with basic honesty … also Dr. Mann should go to jail … that would be a good start. /rant
Smoke was coming out my ears. 180 degree turn. I’m so happy I can edit my comment. Thank you very very much.
It’s a false flag attack by Antifa, see
https://gellerreport.com/2021/01/photos-reports-show-antifa-infiltrators-stormed-the-capitol-building.html/
Partially, possibly. However, we do know that at least ONE was a Trump supporter. The woman who was shot and killed (unknown is whether it was a Capitol Police or Secret Service murderer). Twelve year Air Force Veteran, known supporter of the President. Apparently for the capital crime of pounding on the doors to demand entrance to the “Peoples’ House.”
Note well – in all of these months of riots, looting, burning by BLM and Antifa – there has not been a SINGLE one of them killed by an agent of the government while they were oh-so-peacefully-protesting. Ashlie Babbit, protesting a fraudulent election, is the ONLY fatal casualty in this entire affair.
Do you think BLM will be protesting this police shooting?
No, they won’t even mention it. There is no interest in this poor woman’s death. It’s because she is a Trump supporter.
“Now we have the storming of congress.”
I think it was just a small group of individuals who actually entered the building. We don’t know exactly who they were yet. They might have been some radicals bent on causing trouble.
For the most part, the huge crowd was peaceful and stayed out side the building.
The Media, of course, is trying to blame Trump for everything.
Trump gave a speech to the crowd before they marched on the Capital Building and he told them to do it peacefully.
Trump didn’t tell anyone to tear up anything, just the opposite, but that’s not what you will hear from the Lying Media.
During Trump’s speech, I turned the channel over to CNN and MSNBC (I was watching on Fox) and neither one of them was carrying his speech. On one of the more important days in our history, and they want to censor it and pretend it wasnt happening.
These liars are who got our country in the situation it is in now with their lies and distortions of the truth. And they are hard at it still.
TraitorTrump’s lies are the sole cause of the insurrection and violence. TraitorTrump belongs in prison for what he has done.
and what caused the liberals insurrection and violence for the past 20 years Bruce?
WTO..Occupy…Chicago, Baltimore, Ferguson, BLM, antifa
democrats belong in prison for what they have done
You don’t understand.
The liberals are trying to create a perfect world. Anything they can be excused.
On the other hand, those evil conservatives are trying to prevent the liberals from creating a perfect world, merely existing is enough to prove they should all be sent to re-education camps.
The perfect world for the liberals is a world without conservatives. So, they are in the process of trying to cancel conservatives, now that they have the political power.
The Democrats are already acting crazy with power. It will only get worse as they try to impose their will on the rest of us.
Bruce thinks that asking progressives to follow the law proves one to be a traitor.
Bruce doesn’t care what was actually said, he has his hatred to keep him going.
The Democrats started it by stealing the election.
And it looks like the weak-kneed Republicans in Congress are going to assist them, rather than challenge them.
We have a lot of work to do.
Tom
It is untrue statements by people like you that have brought us to this place. It is now blindingly obvious that the election was not stolen. There is no evidence of voter fraud on a large enough scale to make a difference. You need to be a man admit that your guy lost. Surely the senate losses in Georgia are consistent with Trump losing the election. It is time for the country to move on and that can’t happen till people like you put your big boy pants on and admit you were wrong.
And the simple one returns
Have your minders brought you those new crayons yet, simple one.
Best most presidential speech he has ever given.
No comment due to censorship
Oh come on Rory… There’s no BS or self aggrandisement. There is no salesmanship or put downs. It is dignified and to the point. Pity he didn’t talk like this more often.
My comment was literal and nothing to do with Trump’s speech. I wrote it much earlier and it was held up awaiting approval, clearly because I had triggered some algorithm. This is becoming increasingly common and annoying. I disagreed, complete with evidence, with both you and Bruce Cobb. You’re both wrong.
I simply deleted it rather than be censored. I expect this to be censored as well.
Trump is the best thing to happen to both the US and the world since WW II. He scared too many people and endangered the flow of wealth. He was a casualty of extreme cowardice and avarice.
He was the casualty of his corruption, fraud, lying and disinformation. Other than that he was ok I suppose.
With the possible exception of Regan, Trump has been the least corrupt President in modern history and far and away the least likely to lie. Clearly you believe CNN’s list of “lies” attributed to Trump. It was all projection. It has been the Media lying and attributing it to Trump. As for “disinformation”, that’s how the game of state is played, son … and Trump knows how to play it. All the fraud was the Democrats. You need to quit projecting.
Seriously? Honest? I don’t need the media, I believe my ears. ” I want you to do a “recalculation.” Code for I want you to cheat in the election. He cheats on taxes, he cheats on his wife he cheats in elections. And now we see the measure of the man in that he wont attend Biden’s inauguration. Even Hillary (who hated Trump as much as he hated her) gritted her teeth and went. He’s a coward and a sore loser too it seems.
And while Regan was a much nicer bloke, his level of honesty was questionable. Iran Contra anyone?
You need to stop watching MSM. There is no evidence that Trump “cheated on taxes”.
The only cheating on elections was from the Democrats. Massive amounts of evidence has already proven that.
The level of stupidity from Democrats like you is hilarious.
Well, there is evidence that more votes were cast in these contested States than there are voters in those States.
So, that being the case, there is no way to know who won those States because the overvote numbers are more than sufficient to make up the difference between Trump and Biden in all those States.
The Trump Team did a poor job of proving their case in the public, but that was because they were waiting to present their evidence in the various courts first, but the courts refused to hear their evidence, and therefore the public did not get to see any evidence.
This was a big mistake. In this kind of thing, the Arena of Public Opinion is the most important courtroom. The Trump Team failed to keep the public up to speed.
I think the only way Trump can move forward with his various agendas is to document all the election fraud and present it to the American people.
This will give impetus to the move to reform the election process, which Trump has set himself to do, and will preserve his credibility.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. That’s what we need next. We need every fraudulent act documented.
As for the overvote numbers, I think those are available online now. But the public needs to see the whole rotten mess, not just the overvote numbers, laid out in detail.
At this point, one would need to be brain dead not to see the massive fraud that took place. I agree that Trumps team played their hand wrong … almost to the point of naiveté. They played by the rules to a fault, while the other side broke all the rules and then some, projecting all their fraud on Trump. Because the media was 100% acting for the Democrats, the public only heard a one sided message. When the entire media is acting as the de facto publicity department for the opposition, you’re pretty much buggered. Trump was the victim of perhaps the biggest open conspiracy in world history (after covid and AGW) … same perpetrators, though.
“At this point, one would need to be brain dead not to see the massive fraud that took place. “
Evidence please? Raffensberger says there was none in Georgia and he is a Republican who voted for Trump.
“Trump was the victim of perhaps the biggest open conspiracy in world history “
Trump was the victim of his own arrogance and flatulence. And his supporters were the victims of there desire to see the left squashed so were happy to believe anything he said.
I think that is a pretty good explanation of what went on.
Tom
“Well, there is evidence that more votes were cast in these contested States than there are voters in those States.” No there is not. If yo have some I want to see it, and so did the court.
“I think the only way Trump can move forward with his various agendas is to document all the election fraud and present it to the American people.”
He wont because there is none. Did you listen to the transcript with Raffensberger this week. They told Trump straight there was no cheating of note. And this weeks Georgia senate vote just rubber stamps tat the result was fair and clean.
“As for the overvote numbers, I think those are available online now. But the public needs to see the whole rotten mess, not just the overvote numbers, laid out in detail.”
OK provide a link and I will read it. But Tom there is no evidence of note. I’m sorry but it is all over.
TA wrote: “I think the only way Trump can move forward with his various agendas is to document all the election fraud and present it to the American people.”
Simon wrote: “He wont because there is none.”
We will see. Trump will *have* to present evidence of election fraud, otherwise his credibility is shot.
I’ve been troubled by the stance of a couple of Trump supporters now coming out and saying the public was misled about election fraud. Senator Tom Cotton is not prone to hyperbole, so I’m wondering why he is coming out and saying this.
Trump will have to make his case for election fraud. That’s just all there is to it.
If he can’t, then my opinion of him, and I imagine a lot of other people will change.
Now it is up to Trump to prove his case, otherwise he has no hope of winning the presidency again. He’ll lose half his supporters, at least.
I won’t call Biden an illegitimate president again until I hear from Trump.
I will continue to call Biden a Traitor and a criminal because he is.
Tom
“I will continue to call Biden a Traitor and a criminal because he is.”
I agree his son is not headed for sainthood, but how can you say Joe is a criminal? Or a traitor?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it turns out that schmidt-for-brains changed this himself. The obnoxious little schmidt is second only to mann in the lying little turd club.
Both Schmidt and Mann were popped from the same distorted, ill-formed mold, having been heavily indoctrinated sociopolitical science … the new normal.
Oddly, I read that as “were pooped from”
Both versions are equally factual …
… I’m never going to forget the picture of Schmidt scuttling away from the debate, like the coward he is. Disgraceful!
“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”
You will very soon, if not already, be considered a thought criminal for daring to remember what actually happened.
“To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings!”
““The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”
That sounds like what happened with the creation of the fraudulent Hockey Stick global surface anamoly chart.
Fortunately, not all the past was erased in this case and we still have the unmodified regional surface temperature charts that put the lie to the temperature profile of the Hockey Stick chart.
Orwell also said “He who controls the past controls the future, he who controls the present controls the past”.
I’m rereading Orwell’s “1984” right now.
At least those guys are not going to decide the presidential election… oh wait…
Having read through all the comments, it’s clear everyone is seeing the pattern here. The Left simply isn’t interested in debating something as important as destroying our society … by whatever means. The results of the 2020 election could be the beginning of the end for Western social freedoms. Sociopolitical science is gradually replacing real science.
Looking at the new results there were no people left undecided. 15% swung to Alarmism and 2% swung to the motion of unalarmed.
That’s not how people work.
Being Undecided is not a “Don’t know about this subject” position. It’s a “Not Proven” position. If the evidence could overcome such reticence it would have worked all one way and still likely left some unmoved.
Whoever fabricated this is a very silly person. Probably very young.
What did you expect from serial cheaters?
The pattern repeats …
http://phzoe.com/2021/01/06/something-rotten-in-georgia/
They got away with it in the first election, in several states.
Why wouldn’t they assume to get away with rampant cheating and fraud in this election.
A sad indictment of the USA that this can be allowed to happen.
The next 4 years are going to do great damage to the US morale, morality and economy.
Well at least we agree on something 🙂
Trump said today that Pennsylvania had 205,000 more votes cast in the election than there were registered voters in Pennsylvania. He said the other contested States also showed more votes cast than there were registered voters.
And all the contested States violated the election rules set out by their various legislatures.
So those two facts alone should be enough for Congress to send the Electoral votes back to the various State legislatures and have *them* select the State’s Electors, because it is impossible to determine the vote count given the cheating.
That would probably keep Trump in the White House.
But it appears that the radical Democrats and the Elite Republicans are prepared to ignore this fraud and put an illegitimate, traitorous, criminal like Joe Biden back in Office where he can undermine the U.S. Constitution again, like he did during the Obama administation.
Trump said he was going to primary all the weak-kneed Republicans next election and that’s a good idea. I’m not sure he will have to work too hard at that, as his supporters are seeing their Republican representatives running for the hills, and may not be inclined to reelect such cowards next time.
We are now in the era of our nation being directed by Leftwing Intimidation.
The riots over the summer by the Leftwing Loons have spooked the U.S. Supreme Court into inaction for fear of causing more riots (that position didn’t help the situation today, did it), and tsome Republicans are acquiesing to the theft of their political power and calling such actions patriotic and constitutional.
Trump will need to focus on organizing his 75 million supporters. They will be with him because they know that he and they have been robbed with this election.
I would suggest that one of the first things he should do is call for a rally in each State that has a problematic voting system, and get their voting systems to the point where the Democrats can’t steal future election at the ballot box.
He should aim for a scene similiar to today’s scene, where thousands of supporters surround or demonstrate near, the State House. No violence, just a peaceful demonstration of as many people in that State as they can get to attend.
These rallies should be limited to people who live in that particular State. Out of State supporters should stay away, as each State’s legislature is responsible to the people of their State, not you. Let the people of the particular States insist that their State legislature secure the vote in the future.
Trump should go from State to State doing this until we get the voting procedures secure.
Trump can be primarying spineless Republicans along the way.
And maybe in 2022, Republicans can gain control of the House and stop most of the madness. The radical Democrats are going to overreach, and this will hurt them at the upcoming polls as the American people see how really radical they are.
Get organized, Trump. You have 75 million people who back what you stand for. It’s time to get organized like the radical Democrats. They have been systematically trying to undermine our Republic for decades, and it’s time conservatives systematically started fighting back and reversing the trend.
We have no option. Capitulation to criminals is not an option.
Even from the other side of the planet I can detect BS. It’s easy to find figures for Pennsylvania. Around 9 million registered voters and approximately 7 million votes cast. 205,000 extra votes ??
It’s likely that if President Trump had shown a bit of decorum the Republicans could have held both senate seats in Georgia. In The Election the Republican vote held up quite well. Voters were clearly able to distinguish between voting for a “so called” Republican presidential candidate and for clearly identified state Republican candidates.
if President Trump is in a pickle, ceding control of both houses to the Democrats, it’s of his making. His approach is like the German army’s retreat from Denmark in WW2, burn everything.
Compulsory electric cars for everybody?
Trump should do what he should have done a month ago, and create a documentary detailing all the facts involved in the stealing of the 2020 presidential election.
This will assist in the goal of reforming the election process all across the country.
The Trump Team fell down on the job of elucidating the problems with the vote to the public. More information may have served to keep some wavering Repubicans in the Trump camp.
What’s done is done. It’s time to move forward, and the first thing we need is all the evidence of fraud and cheating that the Trump Team has, to give us impetus to insist on changes in how our elections are held.
Trump’s rhetoric is a problem for the sensitive ears of the Beltway crowd, but it doesn’t bother me because I know his heart and his policies are in the right place.
Trump has already said there will be an orderly transition of power to the illegitimate Biden administration, but even after that, they are now calling for the 25th Amendment to be applied and to remove Trump from office as though he is crazy.
The effort is on to demonize Trump and all his accomplishments in an effort to prevent such challenges to socialism from ever appearing again on the American scene. It’s pretty dispicable, but totally predictable.
It’s just more psychological warfare from the Left.
You know, if Trump were really a crazy dictator like all his detractors like to portray him, he would declare martial law right now, which would suspend constitutional rights, and then he would arrest all the politicians who oppose him and throw them in jail, and he would arrest all the talking heads on television that opposed him and put them in jail, too.
But, of course, Trump is not going to do that because he’s not that kind of guy, despite all the lies that have been told about him.
Trump has to be the most persecuted man in American history, if not world history.

The coming climate crisis is imaginary — just one wrong climate prediction after another, stated every year for the past 60 years. Meanwhile, the climate on our planet keeps getting better.
Surprised??? The whole ‘Man Made Global Warming’ hypothesis is founded in lies and deceit. Why should one more overt and refutable lie be surprising?
Winston Smith will receive a little extra in his Christmas bonus. I hope the incineration source at the bottom of the memory hole chutes is carbon free.
The data was adjusted to better match the output of the models.
Is anyone the slightest bit surprised?
nope
Speaking of “changing the facts”: https://youtu.be/JDb1ir4lH4M
What Andy May discovered is not surprising. It is common climate revisionist dishonesty.
What is surprising is that more skeptics do not challenge that repeated dishonesty more often. Despite my rebuffs (Marcott, Science, 2013) there is no excuse for not still trying.
They’ve gotten away with “adjusting” the climate record for years.
It seems they have decided to branch out.
How long until we discover that the Soviet Union never fell and that Cuba and Venezuela are the wealthiest countries in Latin America.
1984 just took a little longer to get here.
“The past was erased, the erasure forgotten, the lie became the truth.”
welcome to 1984.
I wonder how much longer the wayback machine will be allowed to exist.
Stretching the truth has never been a problem for the alarmists, therefore this re-writing of history fits right into their MO.
Next: “Ironing out” the Glacials. Belittling the MWP was just a warming up for them. Some Interglacials also didn’t behave: too warm. So much to do and so little time….
Looks like the change was made during the second half of Nov 2020 and first week of December 2020
I goggled Guardian and Lovelock to find that infamous interview from 11 years ago where he is not surprised at the Climategate emails because he has seen the dubious measuring of the ozone hole. I get a whole heap of damage control articles and podcasts posted since.
Just a little playful rascal. It must be like Jesus saying ” just joking” to the left.
Andy,
I am surprised that nobody here has mentioned the Forbes article by Roger Taylor from September 28, 2011-
” The Global Warming Debate Produces an Indisputable Winner”.
It covers the outcome of the Intelligence Squared Debate from March 14,2007.
The Motion was “Global Warming is Not a Crisis”.
The article is freely available online and outlines the facts you have here plus the following-
“For the next two hours the experts sparred on the science.
When the debate ended the audience rendered its verdict.
Now having had a chance to hear the scientists themselves,the audience switched sides(from a pre-debate vote of 57% to 30% against the motion with 13% undecided) and sided with the global warming ‘skeptics’.
By a vote of 46% to 42% the audience voted that global warming was not a crisis.”
The outcome of the Debate is indeed indisputable.
I have kept a copy of the article although I doubt anyone will try to send the Forbes article down the Memory Hole.
Make a scan of the article and post it as a .jpg.
Then it will be on WUWT for ever. 🙂
Here’s an archive link for that article, so even if they re-write the past you can still see it.
https://archive.is/IR4cX
Herbert, I read the article, I just didn’t need to cite it for this post. It is a good article.
13+ more years of “not a crisis” has happened since that debate. The evidence that there isn’t an impending crisis has grown, so the only thing the alarmists can do to prop up their scam is to lie and mislead. Expect to see even more dishonesty from the climate alarmists.
I will risk having my head torn off by venturing a political comment.
I have no place of pride in the debate on climate craziness, as a canadian we have the privilege of being lead by the virtue signaling Champ of climate change, so we have our own problems.
Which Biden probably makes far worse.
Reviewing the US election in light of what happened today, the democrats may very well have stolen it with massive fraud.
But that is a gigantic claim that requires extraordinary proof.
Isn’t that what is said to Loydo, Griff ET al on here every day regarding AGW?
If they feel the world is ending due to our actions its up to them to prove it.
If there was massive election fraud that too requires proof
hereistheevidence dot com, for one source.
If it can’t be proven in court of law how can it be evidence?
Don’t get me wrong, i’m as worried as anyone of what the radicals in the democratic party might get up to, but burning it all down isn’t a solution.
I think the last couple months of garbage now cost republicans the senate giving the democrats free run. They needed to calm things at least until the georgia runoffs
“But that is a gigantic claim that requires extraordinary proof.
Isn’t that what is said to Loydo, Griff ET al on here every day regarding AGW?”
That applies to the Trump Team’s claim’s, too. They need to convince the public that what they say is true.
I just heard a report that says a busload of Antifa thugs showed up at the Trump rally and it was they who caused the trouble, not the Trump people.
Now, I don’t have any confirmation of that yet, but think about it: Normally, you would think that if there is going to be a big Trump rally that there will be Antifa thugs to show up and cause violence among the Trump people, but Antifa was conspicuosly absent on that day. Why? Perhaps they and the Demcrats had a plan to ruin the Trump rally and blame it on Trump and his supporters.
One thing about it, in these cases, the truth usually comes out eventually, and many times does not represent what was reported initially.
Yes, Trumpers need to prove fraud, claiming it without proof is not acceptable.
as to Antifa doing the deed yesterday, none of those guys i see on film look like antifa to me, but yes lets wait and see.
What level of proof do you require?
Keep in mind that “beyond a reasonable doubt” does not apply to civil tort actions.
Whoever the criminals were that broke into the Capital Building, there were not that many of them compared to the crowd that was present.
I think the police arrested 52 people and are looking for several dozen others, so that’s not a lot of people compared to the estimated 50,000 people who were outside *not* causing any trouble.
Nobody condones the breakin of the Capital Buildng. Nobody. Including Trump, who called for a peaceful demonstration three times during his speech before the crowd marched to the Capital Building.
When the violence broke out, Trump called on the crowd to leave, and they left. Peacefully. The police had no trouble pushing the crowds back because the crowds were cooperating with them.
So Trump and the Republicans are being blamed for what a few hundred individuals did on their own. Nobody from the Republican side told them to do this.
And what about security? Obviously, the Capital police were not prepared for the breakin. Even though they knew tens of thousands of people were going to show up at 130pm. It was public knowledge. They were woefully unprepared.
But that’s not the only security problem that has been revealed in the last few weeks. We had an incident where someone walked up to Nancy Pelosi’s house and sprayed graffiti on it. Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and third in line to the presidency. And you can walk up close enough to her house to spray paint it? And as far as I know, they don’t even know who the perp is who did it. Unbelievable!
And Republican Senator Hawley had protestors on his front lawn scaring his wife and child to death with their screams.
I hope the Mad Mullahs don’t notice this lack of preparedness on the part of our politicians. It might give them ideas.
Expect more of this as Progressives move into power. US government statistics will eventually be no longer reliable.
Especially the FBI crime statistics. However, climate data will be jimmied to support AGW.
It will no longer be possible to check claims of political narrative when the data are no longer data.
Still shows 89% as of Jan 7th, even down to details of how the votes switched. Perhaps they are on an extended break?
You would think this would be a nice compact story for the media to dig into and report on.
Having been kicked to the kerb/curb by his former acolytes, Michael Moore might have a reason to dig into this.
I’ve ploughed through most of the debate here and what keeps coming to mind about scientific debate in front of an audience is.
