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

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.

And a warmer Earth will be much wetter, not dryer, so more plant growth, and the end to vast deserts, meaning more beneficial to human beings...

According to the journal Planet Today:

https://www.planet-today.com/2018/09/ancient-global-warming-was-accompanied.html

A new work of climatologists from the University of Bristol pointed to the unexpected features of the hydrological cycle of PETM (Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum—about 56 million years ago, when palms grew and lemurs leaped along the Arctic Ocean). Earlier it was known that during warming some of the humid regions turned into deserts – and vice versa: there was more precipitation over previously rather dry areas of the land. However, Bristol climatologists showed that over the greater part of the planet at this time there were abundant, but brief downpours.

The study’s head, Matt Carmichael, says: “Using the same climate models used for forecasting, we checked how the increase in carbon dioxide concentration would affect the planet with the geography of the Eocene beginning.” The simulation has been expected to show that the addition of carbon dioxide increased the amount of precipitation in the whole of the planet – warm air retains more moisture than cold. In addition, it was found that the warming changed both the intensity and the frequency of precipitation (the frequency of recurrence is a characteristic of how often rains of a given intensity fall): “The tropics became even more humid, in some regions the frequency of extreme showers increased by 70% – explains Carmichael.

Scientists estimate that a total of 15,000 tons (13,600 metric tons) of cosmic dust rains down on the Earth annually, though most of the material is lost on entry as it burns up in Earth’s atmosphere. This leaves 5,200 tons (4,700 metric tons) of interplanetary dust to settle on the surface of our planet each year.

That’s a LOT of venison!!!

Just as COVID ‘doesn’t care’ what we humans think; neither does the earth ‘care’ what humans think.

That’s an excellent article!

Unfortunately, there are no recommendations on how to stop the insanity. It’s like a mass psychosis with the biggest doomsday cult in world history. The cultist leaders get rich, the followers don’t have to commit suicide, but everybody will be a lot poorer (except maybe small countries who get paid off by the guilt-ridden west and the Chinese and Indians who won’t play along).
