The REAL global warming

Whatever happened the old piece of wisdom - "You can't believe everything you read in the newspapers"? With science reporting this is even more true. When it comes to discussion of the methodology of data collection and analysis, a TV presentation by an " iconic weatherman" who clearly has his own agenda is really worth zip. And supported by a "computer expert" - give me a break. It is not possible to have "thoughts on the actual content", because there is no content - just wild accusations thrown about.

If there are gross distortions of the temperature record, then it should be not a lot of bother to write and get published a genuine scientific paper showing how the record is wrong. Where is it?

By far the most likely explanation for GISS changing their methodology is to improve the accuracy of the record. One of the interesting characteristics of the GISS record is that as from time to time corrections are made to rectify errors, those corrections have made very little difference to the record. Which does lend confidence in GISS.

Science moves forward but the conspiracy theorists just find that to be more fuel for their loopy ideas.

I'll bet that it doesn't make much difference to the record :LOL:.

Contrary to your assertion, there most certainly is content - for example, that the number of stations that are used in the record have been dramatically reduced. From 6,000 to 1,000.

Doubtless this helps "improve accuracy" :LOL:.

You are a serial denier. Every time you are presented with something inconvenient, you ignore it, or start screaming "Conspiracy theory!". You have absolutely no answers.

We are seeing what looks very much like serious corruption of the temperature record at all levels. This is at the level of the actual stations (as in Australia), the assembly of the record (NASA and CRU) and in the presentation of the data (Mann et al).

At the very least this all shows how woefully inadequate our measurement of global temperatures is. On the basis of this appallingly shoddy temperature record, you and your ilk propose to reverse industrialisation in the West and prevent tens of millions around the globe from emerging from lives of grinding poverty.

I don't know that and you don't know that either. You have not quoted from an authoritative source. If you were truly interested in the truth you would be seeking out the real source (ie GISS) and see if you can find out exactly how the record in produced. But you are only interested in conspiracies.

Doubtless this helps "improve accuracy" :LOL:.

I don't know the details but here's something to think about. If the stations are not randomly distributed over the surface of the planet (and they are not) then it may give a false picture if you just take a simple mean. You know, things like the urban heat island effect and other things much beloved by deniers. A gridded approach would more likely provide a more representative picture. But you never stop to think that there may be very good reasons for the way data is processed, preferring instead to seize upon any piece of twaddle published on a web page somewhere if it has a sniff of conspiracy.

On the basis of this appallingly shoddy temperature record, you and your ilk propose to reverse industrialisation in the West and prevent tens of millions around the globe from emerging from lives of grinding poverty.

A sudden concern for the third world is a bit rich coming from right wing deniers who in the past were not in the slightest bit interested. The problems of the third world have rather a lot to do with the history of Western colonialism and imperialism. I suggest that you direct your ire in that direction. It will be the poorest that suffer the most from climate change - they live the closest to the edge with small perturbations becoming catastrophic. Unable to relocate they will be trapped by increasing desertification, sea rise, crop failures and so on.

I've had a bit to time to chase down all this nonsense and it is just another example of either downright lying or gross ignorance on these pathetic denialist pseudo science blogs. If the "computer expert" (wow! he can code some shell script and Fortran) had done the most minimal search of the literature, he would have come across this paper (from 1997 no less) http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/Peterson-Vose-1997.pdf explaining the methodology used in compiling the GHCN temperature data. And far from concealing the fact that fewer stations used in compiling the current temperature record than used for the historical record, there is actually a graph showing the number of stations and yes there are fewer stations used now. Furthermore in this paper by James Hansen in 1999 , http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/abstract.cgi?id=ha03200f the same station count data is also graphically presented.

So whatever is going on, there is certainly no attempt to conceal it. If this "computer expert" had bothered to look he would have found the reason. The historical record has been assembled from over 30 different sources but most of those sources are no longer updated. Current updates comes from just three sources and are in real time. The principal source is the World Meteorological Organization which gets it's data from individual countries National Meteorological Services. The people compiling the GHCN record just take what they are given. Move along - no conspiracy here.

As for the rest of the drivel on the blog, Dr Gavin Schmidt from NASA deals with it thus

"Some comments on the John Coleman/KUSI/Joe D’Aleo/E. M. Smith accusations about the temperature records. Their claim is apparently that coastal station absolute temperatures are being used to estimate the current absolute temperatures in mountain regions and that the anomalies there are warm because the coast is warmer than the mountain. This is simply wrong. What is actually done is that temperature anomalies are calculated locally from local baselines, and these anomalies can be interpolated over quite large distances. This is perfectly fine and checkable by looking at the pairwise correlations at the monthly stations between different stations (London-Paris or New York-Cleveland or LA-San Francisco). The second thread in their ‘accusation’ is that the agencies are deleting records, but this just underscores their lack of understanding of where the GHCN data set actually comes from. This is thoroughly discussed in Peterson and Vose (1997) which indicates where the data came from and which data streams give real time updates. The principle one is the CLIMAT updates of monthly mean temperature via the WMO network of reports. These are distributed by the Nat. Met. Services who have decided which stations they choose to produce monthly mean data for (and how it is calculated) and is absolutely nothing to do with NODC or NASA."

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2010/01/unforced-variations-2/

It is plainly obvious that this "computer expert" may be able to write a bit of Fortran, but his knowledge of climate science, or even the ability to do the most elementary bit of research is virtually nil. Extraordinary arrogance.

Nonsense? The above certainly is that. A proper de-bunking will have to wait a little, but God Almighty, this is getting tiresome.

Save your breath, mate.

Buddy Holly is only a front for the alarmists, incapable of, and useless for considering anything but their agenda. That's why he persists in defending the indefensible cheats and liars who manipulate data. There seems to be some sort of narcotic-like attraction to the idea of AGW - even after it's dead.

He follows the faithful party line of branding anything contrary as "denialist" or "conspiracy" or by attaching a derogatory term or by using condescending, patronising and arrogant language, as if he was the head woofa of AGW records - the "keeper of the Holy Sceptre".

When cornered and issued a "please explain" he immediately introduces a red herring, or totally ignores the question.

I suspect he has been to the AGW summer camp, and has been indoctrinated into the public relations section of the alarmist woofa's. Notice the responses almost exactly parallel the mechanism used by politicians when faced with a direct question.

Method: Evasion, denial, red herrings, finger pointing, name calling, generalisation blah blah!

It's like arguing with a child - Idée fixe!

Waaah!

I limit my shots now to geurilla opportunities from the grassy knoll - I too am tired of trying to extract answers from this dilberry. Now I use him for sport ... or target practice - it's as much as his responses afford me - there is never any feedback to questions, so I have, regrettably decided NOT to take this alarmist seriously, or engage him directly. He has no idea of the rules of discussion or debate!

Do not attempt to debate with the conversationally challenged.

Here is an example of a DCraig answer to a straight question:




Have fun!

See ya!
 
I take your point Ingot, but it's good fun anyway.

First things first, here's the whole saga. For anyone who's interested, I would recommend reading the whole thing. At the very least it might raise a few questions in your mind. Alternatively you might dismiss the whole thing, and the person who started it, as he is not a climate specialist. See what you think anyway:

I'll post some extracts and responses to DC when I get the time.
 
Another Denialist Myth Bites the Dust

"Another climate change denier myth - this one a favorite of Anthony Watts and his 'Watts Up With That' blog - has just bit the dust.

"Many skeptics for years have sought to explain away decades of climate research by showing slides of weather station thermometers sited next to heating vents or surrounded by asphalt.

"This much-touted “urban heat island effect” was supposed to trump all those fancy graphs and equations that egghead scientists were fixated on. Except it’s not true.

"A recent peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research looked at data from 114 weather stations from across the US over the last twenty years and compared measurements from locations that were well sited and those that weren’t.

"They did find an overall bias, but it was towards cooling rather warming.

"According to the authors,

'the bias is counter intuitive to photographic documentation of poor exposure because associated instrument changes have led to an artificial negative (“cool”) bias in maximum temperatures and only a slight positive (“warm”) bias in minimum temperatures.

Re: Another Alarmist in rehab

Your posts have become utterly pointless.

Exactly.

Reflects the tone of the thread perfectly ... pointless.
Finally something we agree on - well done for picking it up. (y)

Lighten up dude - you're a joke with your persistent whining about denialists, and toeing the line of the card-carrying faithful alarmists.

It's a hoax.
Accept it and move on.
You're not too old mate - you can still do it.
Get another hobby.
Join an interest group, a church, anything.
But seriously, let it go.
It all died with Copenhagen, and the Phil Jones affair.
And Michael Mann's hockey stick. :LOL:

Everything was sooo urgent prior to Copenhagen. You could read about it every day.
Now - not ONE news item on the front pages, or even the first 10 pages.
A search of ABC does not even bring up the words "glacier" or "receding ice" any more - at least over the past 4 days.

Even by your own biased viewpoint, doesn't that strike you as strange?
Can't you see they've decided it was not going to fly?
Don't you know when you're being set up?
Don't you know it was a ploy?
Can't you see that the "urgency" to "do something" is gone?

You've been brave - very brave - in humbling yourself to agree that the thread and my posts have been pointless. And by associating with the thread, your own posts have been equally pointless.

But hey! That's good.
You're doing the hard rehab work already.
Takes courage to take the first step.

Keep it up.

You done good, Craigie. (sic)

I'm not even going to bother with that one - a total joke. Yet another example of why "peer-reviewed" is worthless.
 
OK, here are a few examples of the worthlessness of the global temperature record as it's presented to us.

This is NASA's latest anomaly map (link: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/maps/ )

ghcn_giss_1200km_anom11_2009_2009_1951_1980.gif


Now, see the red splodge over Bolivia? Pretty extreme stuff. The only problem is that there has not been any GHCN thermometer data for the whole of Bolivia for 20 years. That's right - not one. Now, Bolivia is not small, so one might ask how they arrive at that red splodge.

No problem - they cobble it together using other thermometers. Some of which are 1200 km away :LOL:.

Well, big deal, its only Bolivia.

Guess what's coming next.

See that very nasty red splodge in Canada? Serious stuff. Unfortunately, there is only 1 Canadian thermometer north of 65 degrees in the record. That's right, 1. Used to be more, but not in the later stuff. Probably helps "accuracy" :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:.

Anyway, one's all we've got. It's going to be good, right? Well, it depends on your point of view. It's located in something known as the Garden of the Arctic. It does not have this name due to its unusual cold.

And on and on.

Head over here to read more:

http://chiefio.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/ghcn-gistemp-interactions-the-bolivia-effect/

Granted this has not been peer-reviewed :)lol::LOL::LOL:) by other liars, but one does not have to be a specialist to wonder what the hell is going on.

The bottom line is that the global temperature record, as you see it on telly and in the papers, is bogus.

In a different context, here is a statement from Gavin Schmidt, NASA Climatologist:

“The ... known uncertainty in the temperature measurement is larger than some of the differences between the warmest years.”

This whole thing is a lie, and a very obvious one. Only the wilfully blind can fail to see it.
 
Leaving aside alleged Craig's sh@gabiliciousness, his arguments leave something to be desired.

For example, the continual insistence that "Climategate" was nothing at all, just a conspiracy, everything's fine, etc ad nauseam.

It's absurd of course, as everyone, even Monmadbonkersbat, accepts.

Have a look at this analysis and make up your own mind:

Maiden, you've introduced some well founded documentation in recent days, and although a lot of it was already out there we are now seeing more and more detail about the shenanigans of these people in the warmist industry.
For instance we all knew what 'Peer Review' stood for when it came to AGW. That was discredited some time ago mainly by other scientists who in maintaining their integrity refused to subscribe to the warmist theories. The result was that we were left with a large bunch of government paid/sponsored individuals all patting each other on the back and saying well done, never mind the fact there were serious questions about the data being used, or should I say abused.

This paragraph from the above article by John Costella summarises what has gone on ~

"Climategate has shattered that myth. It gives us a peephole into the work of the scientists investigating possibly the most important issue ever to face mankind. Instead of seeing large collaborations of meticulous, careful, critical scientists, we instead see a small team of incompetent cowboys, abusing almost every aspect of the framework of science to build a fortress around their “old boys’ club”, to prevent real scientists from seeing the shambles of their “research”. Most people are aghast that this could have happened; and it is only because “climate science” exploded from a relatively tiny corner of academia into a hugely funded industry in a matter of mere years that the perpetrators were able to get away with it for so long."


Progress is being made, public awareness is becoming more skeptical, the doubts are now embedding themselves at government levels (not in terms of the science but more in the sense of how much longer can they justify the scam).

As you mentioned earlier the cost of all this to the planet is horrendous and apart from the short term transfer of global wealth from the current First world to the second and third world the longer term effects will be ruinous. And all because of a theory which is now known to be potentially flawed yet isn't allowed to be questioned. The warmists go on about saving the planet, I just hope the people of the planet can save it from their madness before it is too late.

Craig you have been well and truly rumbled and recognised for what you are by one of your own countrymen, it will be interesting to see if you're mature or man enough to heed what he says, no doubt your next post will let us know.

It is the denialists who adhere to an ideology with a tenacity defying all logic and reason and ignoring the overwhelming weight of evidence that the world is warming and humans are responsible. You use some stolen emails from CRU to make entirely unproved accusations about deliberate falsification of the HADCRUT surface temperature record, and choose to ignore the other independently compiled records which show exactly the the same thing happening - warming. If thats not enough, you also choose to ignore the satellite temperature record - which is also in agreement with the surface record. Again showing warming. You also choose to ignore the rising heat content of the worlds oceans - measured by independent researchers. The melting of the polar and Greenland ice caps, and the retreating glaciers also get the flick. All this evidence is countered by some stolen emails - what a laugh.

If you would be so kind, please explain what relation some stolen CRU emails have to this:

Nothing at all, but you'll never see these bs artists admit it.
I don't make a trade without having done some very serious homework to back it up, and I don't let my politics dictate where my data leads me. Apparently that's not the case for everyone.
Not that I mind. Actually, I count on it.
Hmm.
Carry on. I insist.
 
It is the denialists who adhere to an ideology with a tenacity defying all logic and reason and ignoring the overwhelming weight of evidence that the world is warming and humans are responsible.

Umm ... No.

Overwhelming falsified evidence - please stick to the facts, as exposed in Maiden22's full expose of the "stolen emails" - and thank God they were "stolen" otherwise by now Copenhagen attendees would still be rolling drunk, gloating in their coup!

So much for "science" - mix a bit of truth (you guess which "bit" is actually truth, because the lines are permanently blurred thanks to UEA CRU) with a good story, and you get pseudo-scientists like yourself, running around as many Internet forums as you can, sprouting half-cocked, your "truth".

Why you came onto a trading forum with almost 198,000 members is an easy one, but you are not a trader - you are a plant for an someone else's false ideas.

You use some stolen emails from CRU to make entirely unproved accusations about deliberate falsification of the HADCRUT surface temperature record

Umm ... (again) ... no.

In a court of law, the onus is on the proponent of the litigation, to provide the evidence. They can't produce pure evidence - no records and no interpretation by peer review - it has clearly been shown to be a circus act.

In this case, the non-alarmists have shown "reasonable doubt" vis a vis the "stolen emails" showing:
* falsifying of both data and records
* curve-fitting
* controlled and manipulative releases and publications
* failure to maintain the records the hypotheses were bases upon
* illegal destruction of records in the public interest
* failure to comply with a legal request under FOI legislation
* collusion to present a case that clearly was not supported by the data
* character assassination of those who questioned their "findings" or ...
* of those who wrote papers for publication expressing caution or an expression of other likely explanations for short-term data measurement
* blocking publication through coercion or intimidation
* ... the list reads like an Inspector Poirot novel!

There is a vast body of scientists (the list has already been linked to in this thread) who for many reasons have not, and will not add their support to the AGW hypothesis.

Craigie - these people are S-C-I-E-N-T-I-S-T-S and accredited C-L-I-M-A-T-O-L-O-G-I-S-T-S how dare you say they are wrong to take a stand against AGW.

Upstart!
What are you?

If this were to be fought in a court, the judge would throw the case for global warming, based on the "tainted evidence" so far out of court, that it would go from London to Copenhagen in one fling!

You are overlooking one thing - something much more powerful than a court.

Copenhagen.

A meeting of every interested and involved government on the planet threw out the case for global warming - that's a legitimate interpretation of events. If not ... if global warming R-E-A-L-L-Y was an issue, then at a global level, we would have had action. No country would ignore it, if indeed it really were an issue - it is NOT.
It is as I stated before, an opportunist grab for world domination based on current concern by ordinary thinking people for the well-being of the planet.

Most people are concerned, as am I, about the increasing pollution of the planet, making it like a huge rubbish dump. I support any effort to get it cleaned up and to reduce the impact of consumerism on the environment.

http://tinyurl.com/2xx234 for one example where action is needed.

Copenhagen was an attempt to crystallise that legitimate concern into an irreversible and binding political capitulation to a world body, to forever interfere with the affairs of every single country on the planet, based on a flim flam.

I'll spell it out for you in a few words: BIG BROTHER telling you what you can and can not do ... world government forever.

You see Craigie, you have failed to convince anyone of your climatology credentials - armchair climatology at best. Your climatologist degree comes from the University of Google, and if Google went down tonight, this thread would end.

What that proves is that you are following an idea - a belief system planted in your cranium by those who have manipulated your brain to believe exactly what you currently hold to be true - that the planet is warming, and that this warming is caused by human activity.

Again showing warming. You also choose to ignore the rising heat content of the worlds oceans - measured by independent researchers. The melting of the polar and Greenland ice caps, and the retreating glaciers also get the flick. All this evidence is countered by some stolen emails - what a laugh.

Craigie - you are a dupe - along with BS the yank.

If what you are trying to ram through here were true, we would already have action.

Your problem is that you blindly follow your sources as being credible.
In fact, one-by-one they are backing off from this AGW proposition, as the data do not stack up.

And, I propose, simply by NOT distancing themselves from the CRU UEA scam, they are losing whatever cred they might have had.

The whole thing was a beat-up going back to the mid nineties. Unfortunately, like communism, it will have its die-hards. You waste your time here Craigie - your "evidence" is NOT independent. The whole thing is a collusion, and shortly we will see some heads roll - damage control - to try to save the "science".

Good luck with that - but you can only fool some of the people some of the time ...!

If you would be so kind, please explain what relation some stolen CRU emails have to this: (links omitted)

That's an easy one Craigie - if you believe your own Bullsh!t it might be relevant. But by associating themselves with the pseudo-science of falsified documents, there is no cred in any of it.

I think you would need to publish your data, and establish the cred of the body producing the graphs.

The data are tainted.
The body has no cred.

In case you hadn't noticed, your carefully selected graphs show about 50-60 years of "measurement".

Now, how old is the planet?
How long did previous cycles last?
Were they warming or cooling cycles?

I'll bet you didn't even read one line of Maiden22's link:

I suggest you do ... in fact read it all ... I dare you.

Let me show you two "graphs" - same instrument, different time-frames.

I wonder if you have the intelligence to understand that a snapshot of 60 periods in a timeframe of 10,000 periods means squat?

Yet that is EXACTLY the rationale your graphs are trying to ram down our throats.

Get some perspective brother.
