Every few weeks, a new paper emerges from the climate-science machinery that reads as if someone strapped a GoPro to a climate model and sent it snorkeling through a computer-generated ocean. The footage is then presented as observational insight rather than what it actually is: a mathematical sketch of an imagined Earth. The latest entry—Future mesoscale horizontal stirring in polar oceans intensified by sea ice decline—is almost too perfect an example of this habit. It supplies the familiar cocktail of numerical flourish, speculative inferences treated as settled fact, and the increasingly s...

This is the second time I’ve received this message in as many days.
This is strike two! For years I have been following WUWT? and have occasionally sent in money to help support. However, like other sites, I will not subscribe.
Three strikes and WUWT? is out!
The collective universe shudders.
I understand the need to monetize. No problem here.
I especially appreciate that you have chosen to still present premise and introduction before the paywall.
I would like to submit “Future mesoscale horizontal stirring in polar oceans intensified by sea ice decline” for some kind of award for buzzwords and presumption overload.
Indeed, can we start giving awards for such obfuscating and weasel wording?
To quote Anthony’s reaction when I previewed this one.
Bye, Felicia.
Give Charles a break. He’s under some pressure…
Cervical collar comes off in less than three weeks.
Charles,
We hope that your return to pre-accident health is almost complete. Geoff S & friends
Good. I’m hoping the very next post is VIP and Premium only so you’ll go bye-bye and leave us alone.
Don’t subscribe. You can still read 99.9% of the posts for free. And rant for free that WUWT dares offer a VIP/Premium subscription to people who voluntarily chose to support the site, and get added content.
Choice is yours.
My guess is you sent $5 ten years ago.
Well, they are consistent. They are consistently wrong and they consistently lie. Perhaps a stiff dose of laxative would clear their minds.
” Perhaps a stiff dose of laxative would clear their minds.”
NO !!! We’d just end up with more shit to clean up !!!
“Here we determine how CO2 doubling and quadrupling …” {See witchcraft, below.}
What number do they start with?
It has been estimated that in 1850, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) was 285 parts per million (ppm). Twice that is 570, 4X is 1,140. Current number at Mauna Loa is 425.
Go back to 2015 when, perhaps, the idea for this research began, and CO2 was 400ppm. 2X = 800. 4X = 1,600.
Rate of increase is about 2.7/year. At this rate the ppm will grow to 570 by 2078. 1600 ppm appears in the year 2460.
If we go back an equivalent number of years to 1590, a news headline of that December was
“Agnes Sampson is questioned by King James VI of Scotland and confesses to witchcraft. She will be executed on January 28.“
Future boredom from the illusory climate catastrophe. Goes on and on.
For further details…
Since modern climate science is unable to properly document the past, we shouldn’t be surprised that it would attempt to fabricate the future.
Here’s one example of that:
Be fun to get an explanation now from the authors who made the chart then. Probably they’re too busy marching against fascism.
Bruce Springstien’s song “Born in the USA”, big when I was a kid, has a verse “then you spend half your life trying to cover it up” that I’d assumed meant the illusory every-man had robbed a bank or killed someone. Maybe the presumed criminal merely co-authored a paper to keep their professor happy?
Steve,
FYI: The title and the x-axis [years] don’t match.
Thanks for the warning, re: “This post is for VIP and Premium Subscribers Only. To sign up, click here.”
There were some entertaining posts between Judith Curry and Steve McIntyre regarding the Wegman statistical analyses and the need for better statistics in climate modeling. I read and enjoyed reading some of those posts at Climate Audit last night. That website was a gift.
Stephen McIntyre should be honoured in history as a pioneer for his promotion of a new idea, the blog, for influencing the course of public opinion closer to where it should be. His analyses of error-prone material were magnificent and set a high standard. Geoff S
The archive itself is a treasure. A lot of what has happened in the last 25 years beggars the imagination – I know you and some others on Anthony’s website were following the controversies when McIntyre first came on the scene. His first blog post was 20 years ago, February 2005.
It’s a pleasure to go back now and see how much I remember and how much I missed at the time. Posts with Curry’s comments can be seen by going to Climate Audit, then typing “Judith Curry” in the search.
A lot of CA was way over my head, but by following the blog’s excellent commenters and McIntyre’s moderation, I wanted to keep going back. He stuck to the facts, took apart fallacies, disproving them point by point. A single post sometimes generating comments for days, and follow up posts that made readers feel like they were reading another episode in an evolving story.
My first exposure to McIntyre was his posting of the “Ohio State Paper”. We got a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connection in September of 2008. I think he presented that paper the prior spring.

What models? I remember it clearly, I was on a paleogene cruise and the early birds and mamals kept stealing sandwiches right out of my hand!
