Recent studies using honest methodologies establish that the panicky predictions are wrong by as much as 50%.
Several recently published studies have provided methodological objections to alarmist IPCC global climate models that predict catastrophic global warming will result from anthropogenic CO2 atmospheric concentrations from burning hydrocarbon fuels. These studies indicate that a more accurate reading of the earth’s surface temperatures suggests global climate warming over the next few decades will be moderate. The studies further indicate that more precise surface temperature readings would seriously dampen the hysterical mass media demand for radical public policies requiring radical decarbonization to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE) as quickly as possible.
In November 2022, meteorologist Roy Spencer, Ph.D., a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, published a ground-breaking study demonstrating that 36 climate models used to guide national policy may have exaggerated “global warming” over the last 50 years by as much as 50 percent. Specifically, Dr. Spencer utilized “a relatively new global dataset of urbanization changes over the previous 40-year period, 1975-2014, based on Landsat data to determine the average effect urbanization has had on surface temperatures.”
Spencer devised a methodology “to compute the magnitude of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect on temperatures using the example of summertime early morning 09 UTC (early morning) Integrated Surface Database (ISD) hourly data (mostly from airports) over the period 1973-2022.” (“UTC” stands for Universal Time Coordinated, formally known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).) His goal was to compare “urbanization differences to temperature differences from closely spaced weather stations.”

Lately I think I see two things:
1) A steady stream of evidence that there is no global warming, and it’s all fraud. Or at least that human contribution to any such trend is virtually nonexistent. Volcanoes matter. Your SUV doesn’t.
2) Authorities doubling down on the panic, announcing that last year was the warmest on record and that we are all going to die.
I consider this to be the prime topic for gaslighting.
Agree with your points 1 and 2.
Meteorologist Joe Bastardi has a theory that undersea volcano activity accounts for a large portion of ocean warming. It just so happens that dramatic ocean warming has been measured in the vicinity of the “ring of fire”, particularly in the western Pacific. The Tonga volcano by itself increased atmospheric moisture content by 10%. That is huge and will have a profound effect on temperature going forward in places like Siberia and the poles where it is very cold and dry. Saturation mixing ratio isn’t a suggestion or a theory. It’s measurable.
Never forget that the whole "CO2 global warming" scam was invented by the neo-malthusian Club of Rome as a tool to force a drastic die-off of human populations. This is only the beginning. Ultimately, YOU are the carbon they want to reduce.
Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs to find private profit in public policy.
One of the most irritating things for me is to
COPY THE LINK FOR AN ARTICLE.
The post refers to an American Thinker article that refutes the hysteria about global warming. I want to send the link to my SIL who is a crazy democrap Climate Change believer.
But I don’t know how to copy the link. I try using my text copy options but they simply don’t work.
Can someone here at FR please tell me how to copy and send the link to my SIL.
thanks,
Froggy

To me, they showed their hand when they changed the name from Man-made global warming to global warming, and then to climate change. Really, climate change? That goes on all the time. And the climate can get colder or warmer! How convenient!
Anyway, what they meant was the first name: Man-made global warming. They gave it up because they knew it was BS.
To be accurate, the empirical data have consistently shown a small gradual increase in the global average atmosphere since the end of the Little Ice Age. About a degree per century. That is not fraud, it is the seed of truth in a far greater fraud, which is the idea that such a small natural variation is an existential threat.
There is no evidence to support the alarmist claim of”catastrophic” manmade global warming. None. That part is purely political. The whole sham has survived because deliberately or otherwise, people on both sides have commingled the science with the politics. Separate the two domains, and the issues quickly become clear.
Unvalidated computer models are in the same category was having a monkey throw a dart at a chart of various possible forecasts. All climate models are unvalidated.

Nothing was happening so they had to change the name to climate change/crisis etc etc etc etc ,LOL
When apocalyptic predictions are consistently wrong for over 50 years it long ago ceased to be “science”.
Dear Froggy,
In Windows, if you follow the link to the American Thinker article, you should be able to highlight the link address at the top of the page by simply left-clicking on it. You can then right click and have a box pop up with a ‘copy’ option in it. Click copy. Then go to your email. In many, you can simply right click in the body of the email and you should get a pop-up box with a paste option in it. If you have g-mail, you need to create an e-mail, then click on the ‘link’ icon at the bottom of the page (looks like a couple of little chain links). It should be next to the insert (paper clip) icon for inserting pictures and documents, etc. The resulting pop-up box will give you the option of naming the link (without having the whole thing printed out in the e-mail) in the first line. You left-click on the second line, where it says insert link, and then right click and select the paste option in the resulting pop-up box.
I think I’ve gotten all these steps correct...
The plandemic was a field test which was so successful that we will see a continuous eddy of gaslighting on multiple topics to manipulate that which is becoming a growing bloc of the malleable population.

I’ve run into that problem before too on my Android phone.
I am able to highlight the address, click the share button, then choose cpoy text in the pop up.
