Climate predictions

 In 2001 the IPCC clearly stated the position on trying to predict the future climate. The fact it was 25 years ago makes no difference as it is a timeless statement. It is equivalent to saying the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, or water finds its own level.

But as most people are not aware of this predictions have always been made, and as the internet never forgets we have had over 30 years already to see if any which have been made have actually happened.

The genuine data on the climate

  Both scientists, media and politicians rarely if ever present any of the data on the climate we can all find in a few minutes. I am not offering any reason for this, only doing what they appear unwilling or unable to do. The claims made about our current and future climate appear frightening, but so far I have yet to find a single area which has been made worse by the slight warming we have experienced since the end of the little ice age in the 19th century. The current UN figure we are told to avoid is a 1.5C rise in average temperature, which we are close to in 2026. Few people ever ask or are told its significance, it is just the number they use. Luckily an attendee at the committee which made the decision, Dr Katharine Hayhoe,  was good enough to explain exactly how they came to it:   "There's no magic number of cigarettes that can prevent all damage other than zero. It's too late for that. But we do know that the quicker and the faster we stop smoking, the better o...

Climate confessions

Image
  It is impossible to lie plausibly for an indefinite period, so sooner or later paid experts who create the scary stories to frighten innocent citizens into handing over their rights are unwittingly going to tell the truth. In law you won't need a trial if the defendants plead guilty, so all the arguments my side make to dismantle their claims won't even be needed once they've admitted the true position themselves. Half of these are direct confessions to the media, the others were hacked from their personal correspondence while they assumed no one would ever see them besides their intended targets. Putting this all together it is fairly impossible not to realise they are pretty much making it all up as they go along as they are under higher orders to produce a consistent picture regardless of the actual data, or fill it in when there is none at all. However, once you read this the rest is just narrative. This was actually Mike Hulme, apologies. However, he did say this, wh...

Predictions of disaster

 I was just given this comment on X which explains both the science and psychology behind climate change: " And this is nothing compared to the crop failures and ensuing famine, floods, monster hurricanes, expanded ranges of deadly tropical diseases, conflicts over climate fueled migration, air quality from massive wildfires, etc etc."  It encapsulated so well the mindset of the true believers it meant given such a complete statement I will be able to take every element apart until it has all been covered. Firstly, which has already been extensively covered here, in its own order: Crop failures. They saved the worst till first. Crops and other food production has continued to increase per acre as it's been warming. Nothing in the future is likely to change to alter this trend, regardless whether they are connected or not, due to human ability and weather adaptation humans are continually improving food production. To save space and allow flow I won't post multiple ima...
