The Climategate emails revealed that the 2C global warming temperature target was entirely arbitrary — “plucked out of thin air,” as Phil Jones put it. Today we can trace this arbitrariness back one step further — to a 1975 paper by economist William Nordhaus.
“But to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow, we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the Apocalypse… These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform and control every aspect of our lives. We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country or eradicate our liberty. America will always be the proud, strong and unyielding bastion of freedom.”
My comments just delivered to the EPA Science Advisory Board about their draft review letters concerning the Trump EPA proposals for rolling back the Obama fuel economy standards, the science transparency rule, the Mercury Air Toxics Standards rule and the Waters of the United States rule (WOTUS).
A new study reported yesterday that ocean temp in 2019 was a mere 0.075C over the 1981-2010 average. While the NYTimes was happy this morning to yell “2019 Was a Record Year for Ocean Temperatures, Data Show”, the paper omitted reporting the ‘data showed’ a mere (and unmeasurable) increase of 0.075C.
“We have proven that the GCM-models used in IPCC report AR5 cannot compute correctly the natural component included in the observed global temperature. The reason is that the models fail to derive the influences of low cloud cover fraction on the global temperature. A too small natural component results in a too large portion for the contribution of the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.”
Note that immediately under the video is a link to the “global warming” entry for Wikipedia. Why? Below is YouTube’s explanation.
That’s right. We present 10 wild climate alarmist predictions that were in print and didn’t come true… and YouTube labels our video as possibly misinforming people?
