Computer modelling is not evidence, no matter how many times you run the simulation.
What I want to know is what nations scientists are writing all these pro-global warming studies?
I say just about all come from these spoiled, guilt ridden nations-—
USA
UK
Canada
Australia
Germany
France? maybe
Japan? maybe
You find nothing from scientists in India, Russia, China, Korea. They have zero interest in such BS
“Peer review” means something different from what it once meant. Now there is a strong political component and a very small scholarly component.
The issue is Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming - a rapid increase in earth's temperature that is caused by man, and is so severe that drastic methods are required to mitigate it. There is significant scientific dispute over the latter, and the real scientists, the ones who believe there is no CAGW, are supported by the truth.
billions of flies at the stockyard can’t all be wrong.
But we really aren’t arguing whether man affects the environment, that is a given. The question is how much and what economic impact there is. So far, trivial impact.
Reality has not matched the models of decades ago. Therefore the writings (while possibly well intentioned) drew false conclusions (peer reviewed or not).
Write a paper supporting AGW => grant money, acclaim, peer approval
Write a paper critical of AGW => no grant money, derision, peer ostracism
Gee... what kind of papers are we going to get?
Well, not really. The sun has a lot to do with it... :)
science by consensus? irrational.
i propose that one paper by einstein or newton or keppler has more scientific woth then all the ones cited here put together. i’d rather spend my limited time on earth reading theirs then any cited here.
If global warming causes the oceans to rise why has New York not been flooded?
Or the water to rise by a noticeable amount? Anyone? Buehler?
Peer review today is like the newspaper editorials and surveys of recognized leaders in the South in the 1950s. I’m sure that nearly 95% percent agreed that Blacks in the South were in favor of segregation.
If you pick whom you survey carefully and use the right encouragement, you can get any result you want. Sort of like peer review today.
That was my Mom too. I still remember that talk from the age of four.

” India, Russia, China, Korea.” All are exempt from the climate treaties like Kyoto. Their stake in the game is staying quiet so they can reap a percentage of the trillions of dollars of cap-n-trade cash.
We need beer reviwed papers. After all brewskis are a source of CO2.
