Top MIT scientist: Newest UN climate report is ‘hilariously’ flawed
The Daily Caller ^ | September 29, 2013 | Michael Bastasch

Not all scientists are panicking about global warming — one of them finds the alarmism “hilarious.”

A top climate scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology lambasted a new report by the UN’s climate bureaucracy that blamed mankind as the main cause of global warming and whitewashed the fact that there has been a hiatus in warming for the last 15 years.

“I think that the latest IPCC report has truly sunk to level of hilarious incoherence,” Dr. Richard Lindzen told Climate Depot, a global warming skeptic news site. “They are proclaiming increased confidence in their models as the discrepancies between their models and observations increase.”

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claimed it was 95 percent sure that global warming was mainly driven by human burning of fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. The I.P.C.C. also glossed over the fact that the Earth has not warmed in the past 15 years, arguing that the heat was absorbed by the ocean.

“Their excuse for the absence of warming over the past 17 years is that the heat is hiding in the deep ocean,” Lindzen added. “However, this is simply an admission that the models fail to simulate the exchanges of heat between the surface layers and the deeper oceans.”

“However, it is this heat transport that plays a major role in natural internal variability of climate, and the IPCC assertions that observed warming can be attributed to man depend crucially on their assertion that these models accurately simulate natural internal variability,” Lindzen continued. “Thus, they now, somewhat obscurely, admit that their crucial assumption was totally unjustified.”

Scientists have been struggling to explain the 15-year hiatus in global warming....

Should be easy to drop a temp gauge way down and see if its really true.

hint - its not true

Exactly...its about controlling people

Note that the Global Warming Hoaxster and Environmental folks give a pass to big polluting nations like Communist China, India, Brazil.

Exactly!

If you look up 'IPCC" in Wikipedia, you will find this as the first sentence : "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific intergovernmental body, set up at the request of member governments."

Perhaps the classic example of the abuse and misuse of a popular information resource. That sentence is a complete lie. The IPCC is a political intergovernmental body.
Most people don't know and don't care how the IPCC came about, and have no clue of its genesis. The briefest summary is:

Maurice Strong, who created the fake world crisis, which led to the Kyoto agreements, which in turn prompted the creation of the IPCC, ridden throughout its history with shoddy "science," contradictions, frauds, scandals, and misrepresentations masquerading as science...

People should look into all the items shown in bold above as thoroughly as possible to grasp the extent of the monumental scam.

Many of the ignorant supporters of Anthropogenic Global Warming were not even born when the scam began.
Let's start with the creator, often referred to as the shadowy "George Soros of environmentalism."

Maurice Strong

The subject of this thread, Dr. Richard Lindzen was, as I recall, a lead scientist author on a chapter of a previous IPCC report, and he knows, first hand, better than anyone, the scam the political IPCC has been promoting since 1988, behind the fake façade of "science."

Duh, silly rabbits. Everybody knows that heat sinks and cold rises... duh.

Of course not.

Exactly how does all that extra heat end up hiding in the deep ocean?

Unicorns keep livestock at the bottom of the ocean - they put the extra heat in their underwater barns... (My story's as likely as theirs....)

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

If there is so much heat going into the ocean, why aren't there more hurricanes?

The human generated heat is magically being transported to the deep oceans. So humans are guilty of warming the environment of the giant squid, apparently. Not only did these brain dead progressive scientists completely ignore the interaction of the deep sea and the shallow sea, they also still do ignore the contribution from undersea volcanic activity. What else can you expect from a bunch of apes ?

I think the biggest thing people are missing is that while the temperature hasn’t increased the amount of cabon in the atmosphere has skyrocketed. That should completely disprove any link between carbon and climate change.

<climate scientist mode>

There is a special phenomenon, heretofore undetected, that allows heat to pass through the upper layers of the oceans without warming them. This effect means that the excess heat that would have shown up as global warming is now hiding in the ocean depths. The climate devastation that will result when this heat stops hiding is difficult to predict but, with enough grant money, we can come up with a good approximation of it. Trust us.

</climate scientist mode>

That was fun. Can I get my IPCC grant money now?

Let me get this straight. For years and years, since the invention of the SUV, we drove around spitting out our deadly CO2 and the atmosphere got hotter and hotter. Then, in the last 15 or 17 years, we continued to drive around in our SUVs spitting out CO2 and the earth got hotter, but all the heat, instead of heating up in the atmosphere, decided to go swimming.

So, why did the heat decide to play hide and seek in the ocean only in the last 17 years?
