Top-level climate modeler goes rogue, criticizes ‘nonsense’ of ‘global warming crisis’

A highly qualified and experienced climate modeler with impeccable credentials has rejected the unscientific bases of the doom-mongering over a purported climate crisis. His work has not yet been picked up in this country, but that is about to change, Writing in the Australian site Quadrant, Tony Thomas introduces the English-Speaking world to the truth-telling of Dr. Mototaka Nakamura. (hat tip: Andrew Bolt, John McMahon)

There’s a top-level oceanographer and meteorologist who is prepared to cry “Nonsense!”on the “global warming crisis” evident to climate modellers but not in the real world. He’s as well or better qualified than the modellers he criticises — the ones whose Year 2100 forebodings of 4degC warming have set the world to spending $US1.5 trillion a year to combat CO2 emissions.

The iconoclast is Dr. Mototaka Nakamura. In June he put out a small book in Japanese on “the sorry state of climate science”. It’s titled Confessions of a climate scientist: the global warming hypothesis is an unproven hypothesis, and he is very much qualified to take a stand. From 1990 to 2014 he worked on cloud dynamics and forces mixing atmospheric and ocean flows on medium to planetary scales. His bases were MIT (for a Doctor of Science in meteorology), Georgia Institute of Technology, Goddard Space Flight Centre, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Duke and Hawaii Universities and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. He’s published about 20 climate papers on fluid dynamics.[i]

Today’s vast panoply of “global warming science” is like an upside down pyramid built on the work of a few score of serious climate modellers. They claim to have demonstrated human-derived CO2 emissions as the cause of recent global warming and project that warming forward.

Dr. Nakamura has just made his work available to the English-speaking world:

There was no English edition of his book in June and only a few bits were translated and circulated. But Dr Nakamura last week offered via a free Kindle version his own version in English. It’s not a translation but a fresh essay leading back to his original conclusions.

And the critique he offers is comprehensive.

Man-made global warming is clearly a fraud for anyone who thinks about it for 10 minutes.

Why was the earth much hotter in the past?
Why did the earth have multiple ice ages?
What’s the proper level of CO2?
What’s the role of plants in regulating CO2? The Oceans?
Above all, what’s the role of even the slightest changes in the sun? the sun is 350,000 times the size of earth, and without it, we would have no climate whatsoever.

23 Sept: Weather Channel: Snow, Colder Temperatures Coming to Northern Rockies and Northwest By Chris Dolce ▪ High temperatures will be 10 to 30 degrees below average. High temperatures are likely to be 10 to 30 degrees below late-September averages this weekend from Northern California and northern Nevada to Montana and Idaho. This will be the coldest air of the early fall season so far, and temperatures will likely drop below freezing at night in parts of the northern Rockies. The cold temperatures will also allow snow to not only fall in the mountains, but also down to valley floors this weekend into early next week… https://weather.com/forecast/regional/news/2019-09-23-northern-rockies-northwest-below-average-temperatures-snow

23 Sept: Spokesman-Review Washington: Forecast calls for freezing temperatures and a chance for snow in Spokane
By Thomas Clouse
An already cool month of September could end with snow in Spokane as this coming weekend’s forecast calls for wind chills in the 20s, according to the National Weather Service.
A big trough is bringing cold temperatures and moisture to the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene region, and some forecast models are calling for snow in the valleys. It would be the first time Spokane has had snow in September since flakes fell in 1926, meteorologist Rocco Pelatti said…
“The last time Spokane had snow around this time, that date was 1926,” Pelatti said. “They had 1.4 inches on Sept. 23.”…
“On Monday, it could be cold. Wind chills might be in the 20s,” Pelatti said…
