Max Planck Institute to Support Global Warming: Puny Humans are Stupid
Townhall.com ^ | February 4, 2014 | John Ransom

And now, the Bearded Lady will prove to you that, yes, indeed, that chicken with two heads really was real…really.

“I have scrutinized the data,” she says, “and I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that, yes, global warm…err, the chicken really does have two heads.”

That or something like it is now what passes for scientific proof that the pause in global warming that has been observed is really just in our mind not in the weather.

A new paper put out by the Max Planck Institute to Support Global Warming says so, and that should settle it.

Really, it has too.

Because, remember: They say so.

In the scientific press release accompanying the report-- which to any unbiased observer upon plain reading contains no emotional bias -- the Bearded Lady says this:

“Sceptics who still doubt anthropogenic climate change have now been stripped of one of their last-ditch arguments.”

We are triumphant!!! Other humans are puny!!!

And this:

“Recently, Jochem Marotzke, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, and Piers M. Forster, a professor at the University of Leeds in the UK, have impressively demonstrated this by means of a comprehensive statistical analysis.”

They are SOOOOO impressive. And superior!!!

And this:

“Quite apart from their role as scientists, researchers have another reason for greeting the study with mixed feelings: no all-clear signal has been sounded. Climatologists have been fairly correct with their predictions. This means: if we continue as before, the Earth will continue to warm up – with consequences, particularly for developing countries, that we can only begin to fathom.”

In other words “Our models are perfect, it’s the earth that is in error. We’ll show on a spreadsheet.”

!!!...?

I thought hard science wasn’t supposed to have feelings like this one way or another.

Or am I missing something?

I won’t get into the science involved in the report. I let others do that and report on the results.

But I am struck by how much of a vested interest these researchers have in finding that, yes, indeed, their god is alive and well.

They work at institute dedicated to prevent global warming. And of course, it would be bad for business to declare victory for them and move on.

Nothing says unbiased research like being a part of the carnival.

I guess that’s how they can make the simultaneous argument that: 1) 15 year weather intervals have no meaning; 2) yet, the assertion that 100 of the hottest years on record have happened in the last 10 years should merit everything (end sarcasm here).

15-year intervals don’t count, unless they are 10-year intervals that show the hottest temperatures EVER!

Never mind that those “observed” temperatures that they used to declare it the “hottest on record” vary by a statistically negligible 2 hundredths of a degree. Or that the “observed” surface temperatures—as used the Planck study-- are not accurate even according to climate scientists polled by the Washington Post.

“There remain significant uncertainties in the accuracy of the land portion of the surface temperature data, where we have found a significant warm bias,” Roger Pielke professor of atmospheric science, at Colorado State University told the Post. “Thus, the reported global average surface temperature anomaly is also too warm.”

You might note that the Post buried the criticism of the much ballyhooed “warmest year on record” headline under gushing praise and a 12 inch graphic:

Because nothing says you are a part of the carnival quite like hiding the critics from view while the barkers bark.

Aw, come on Johnnie, global warming is caused government grants. Wait...No it’s caused by illegal aliens. No charge, John baby.

I’m curious whether the Max Planck Institute has received any government grants lately.

Hulk hate puny Max Planck Institute! Puny Banner knows there’s no global warming! Hulk smash puny pseudoscientists! (Bet you thought Hulk couldn’t say that word.)

Max Planck Institute has been a hot bed of alarmist commotion for some years now. They still have to explain the failure of their climate models to predict anything accurately.

Since they are in Germany they probably get German government money.

These left-wing enviro nuts should come to my area of coastal Maine.

From January 24th through February 3rd.....a period of ten days....five FEET of snow has fallen from four storms.

Single digit and sub-zero temperatures most of the time, too.

Global warming would be welcome here!

How much CO2 is in the atmosphere?

5%?

10%?

20%?

How about .04%

“I’m curious whether the Max Planck Institute has received any government grants lately.”

Here you go...
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/max-planck-insitute-set-for-opening-today/nTNQc/

From the article:
Florida and Palm Beach County have contributed $188 million to attract the German research giant to the region, including the $64 million building that opened Wednesday. The $40 million grant will enable scientists from Germany to visit and work, and likely will be renewed well beyond four years, Max Planck Society President Peter Gruss said.

Can you say “Eco-profiteering”?

They live by government grants, don’t they?

Here is something I ran across today in a IT related forum to consider funding.

They have a BRANCH in FLORIDA. Jeb Bush arranged the deal.

Genocide and free murder license based on excuses. Stalin had a step up in impunity on Hitler in this, and now the Max Plant Institute has a step up on Stalin and Mao in terms of murder. As Mao said, if we are to be more revered than past dynasty, we have to kill far many more than they did. And the escallation goes up. A special mention on Hitler is that short term span political gratifications require collective type blanket statements on humanity, and thus racism and bigotry are a specialty of the narcissist socialists in the end.

Puny Puny!!

The directors and muckymucks of the Planck Institute come from the best breeding grounds of the Ivy League!! They are specially chosen so as not to have a Planck length of manhood between them!!

I think there’s a relationship between global warming and the size of governments (at least in the Western World).

I support global warming, too; I’m ready for Spring.

Perhaps someone should have told these morons the state of Maine broke its all time record low last month. It now stands at -50 F. How is that possible if we are still warming ? BTW - The states previous record low was set 84 years ago. Probably before every active member of this institute was born.
