I stopped reading right there.
Later I will post the article pointing out that mathematicians and statisticians have never been invited to work on computer models which are used to make these doom forecasts.
Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Anybody can (and does) abuse and misuse computer programs.
Prof. Takl is a bit selective in his models. Anyone living in the Midwest during the 1930’s will testify that it was far hotter then....many heat records from that time are still standing. If the good professor would include climate data starting at 1900 instead of 1990 I am certain he would get very different results.
What really concerns me about the global warming hysteria is that there has been a cooling period from the thirties until the seventies. If our lord and masters start basing their emergency services budgets on what happened ‘last year’ I’m concerned that we’ll be caught when winter comes roaring back.
We already throw enough money down the rathole of taxes for piss poor services but it’ll be magnified when money for plows and roadcrews is diverted to diversity or gay festivals.
D'OH!
This guy is clearly a genius.
Nobody, but nobody I have heard of, who knows what he is talking about denies this. This is not what the acrimonious debate is all about.
The planet's historical cycles of cooling and warming clearly indicates that there have been hundreds of prior periods of warming. The current one would be no different.
This overeducated doofus, however, fails to make a similar dogmatic statement about the anthropogenicity of the current trend.
When he does so, we can discuss.
