The Profound Junk Science of Climate
American Thinker ^ | 27 Nov, 2021 | Norman Rogers

Posted on 11/27/2021 4:21:22 AM PST by MtnClimber

Once money and status started flowing into climate science because of the disaster its denizens were predicting, there was no going back.

Climate change prophecy hangs its hat on computer climate models. The models have gigantic problems. According to Kevin Trenberth, once in charge of modeling at the National Center for Atmospheric research, [none of the] “models correspond even remotely to the current observed climate” [of the Earth]. The models can’t properly model the Earth’s climate, but we are supposed to believe that if carbon dioxide has a certain effect in the imaginary Earths of the many models it will have the same effect on the real earth.

The climate models are an exemplary representation of confirmation bias, the psychological tendency to suspend one’s critical facilities in favor of welcoming what one expects or desires. Climate scientists can manipulate numerous adjustable parameters in the models that can be changed to tune a model to give a “good” result. Technically, a good result would be that the climate model output can match past climate history. But that good result competes with another kind of good result. That other good result is a prediction of a climate catastrophe. That sort of “good” result has elevated the social and financial status of climate science into the stratosphere.

Politicians like it for the power. Climate “scientists” like it for the money and prestige. Society gets hoaxed and defrauded.

The planet travels at 1000 mph around the sun. Human beings are fractions of a fraction yet so prideful that some think we can affect this mass of energy , it’s truly insane to argue with these lunatics

Climate change. The greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind. The vast majority of people who eat this slop up couldn’t even identify the difference of a cumulonimbus(spelled right?)and a lenticular cloud. Or know what universal solvent is. And so on.

This article does a good job of explaining the problem.

Make money and power available to those who scare the public to increase government power.

Demonize those who dissent.

With the willing accomplices in the Media, trillions have been bilked and spent on non-sense.

And yet the lunatics keep getting elected to positions of power with control of the purse strings, with the complicit media cheering them on. Our forefathers would be shooting and hanging by now.

The sheeple will accept “we’re going to save the world” rather than “we will enslave you.”

Gullibility is also a factor. Chicken Little claiming the sky is falling, or the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, is lost on them. They don’t see they are being manipulated.

The bottom line is that they WANT to believe because it buys them membership in “the good side”, which really is nothing but deception that will cause human suffering, which is actually evil.

Closer to 62,000 mph. The equator rotates at 960 mph around the earth’s axis.

China burns about 23,000 pounds of coal per American, annually.

Did you know? Increased CO2 means plants can breathe through fewer pores. So, they use less water.

That is why deserts around the world are receding on their own as plants take over. In the last 25 years an area the size of Alaska has greened.

Actually the earth’s surface rotates at 1,000 mph. Earth travels at about 66,800 mph around the sun by my figures.

It started with overpopulation and then new ice age, acid rain, ozone hole, global warming and climate change. All lies. Democrats would literally choke on truth if they were to ever utter it. I viewed a video on Biden’s magic claims of ‘build back better’[SIC] not adding to the national debt, and you can check it out top of page at Whatfinger News in crawler link. Nothing that has a cost is free, so ‘1.75 trillion not adding a penny of debt’ being a lie is obvious to anyone with a working brain. None of those threats were real. All of them were designed to give leftists power.

The Sun is 99.86% of the mass of our solar system. Humans are just a tiny fraction of the remaining 0.14%. Zero chance WE are responsible for anything. Math!

Almost all of the plastic in the Pacific Ocean is also from China.

John Von Neumann, considered by some to be the greatest mathematician of his time, once said, “ “With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.”

Yet the “Climate Models” have dozens of parameters. Yet they still fail to include some of the major climate inputs, like cloud cover, solar variability (you know, the sun, the ‘sole’ source of energy to earth), known variabilities in the ocean currents, the source and ending of the Little Ice Age (which we’re still warming from), the source and end of the Medieval Warm Period, etc. That’s already the five parameters of von Neumann’s quote. The climate models can’t even predict each other, much less the future.

Yet our political ‘betters’ are destroying our future because of this obscene drive to control us. Don’t let them control you.

That’s pretty fast to be travelling without headlights. And no driver or driver’s seat. Thankfully there are no space deer AFAIK.
