Global Warming: "Pseudoscientific Fraud"

[Uncle Ted]

I've often wondered what the net result is in using electric vehicles.

I guess you have to factor in this as well...

[SeattleUte]

Agree 100%

The Green New Deal should have included a massive push for nuclear power.

The Green New Deal doesn't even merit substantive discussion about what it should have included. It was just stupid, publicity stunt. Someday it will be regarded as an oddity of our times like pet rocks.

That can't be good for the environment.

Hey guys, let's just stop forecasting climate change and how it will impact us and we will have nothing to worry about!


Trump administration orders government agency to stop predicting long-term climate change impacts

The Trump administration has told a major US government department to end predicting what the long-term effects of climate change will be on the country.

Director of the US Geological Survey (USGS) James Reilly – a White House-appointed former oil geologist – ordered that scientific assessments only use computer-generated models that track the possible impact of climate change until 2040, according to The New York Times.

Previously the USGS modelled effects until the end of the century, the second half of which is likely to see the most dramatic impacts of global warming.

The order is likely to impact the US government’s National Climate Assessment, an interagency report produced every four years which outlines the projected impact of climate change in every corner of US society.

In the most recent report, produced late last year and dismissed by Mr Trump, scientists used computer models to predict the US would face devastating economic and health impacts from global warming by the end of the century.

New paper on climate change....

NO EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR THE SIGNIFICANT ANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE

The major part of the extra CO2 is emitted from oceans [6], according to Henry‘s law. The low clouds practically control the global average temperature. During the last hundred years the temperature is increased about 0.1C because of CO2. The human contribution was about 0.01[degree]C.

Cow farts, rain forests, and now the oceans!

Revealing the impact of cosmic rays on the Earth's climate

Summary: New evidence suggests that high-energy particles from space known as galactic cosmic rays affect the Earth's climate by increasing cloud cover, causing an 'umbrella effect'.

If by "paper" you mean self-published document found on the internet, then I guess so. This is not a peer-reviewed article so you should take it with a gigantic grain of salt.

Once again, you are modeling junk science/fake new tactics used by anti-vaxxers and flat earthers.

Also, that second article doesn't seem to support your hypothesis that anthropogenic climate change is doo doo.

You should take your gripe up with Dr. Jyrki Kauppinen and Pekka Malmi at the U of Turku. Here is a web page for the first guy:

In my area of expertise I don't trust any of those damn Fins. They have been doing crap R&D for Huawei for years.

It doesn’t matter. The left needs to get real about the problem and pay attention to the science. Their delusions are ruining the planet.

It's crazy. I've believed nuclear was the answer since learning about it in high school.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Great article.

[SeattleUte]

Great article.

I found it on Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Twitter feed.

I’m not sure what the left’s end game is. Just spouting pieties? First world guilt? They don’t seem really to want to solve the problem. It seems what they want is to revert to some dreamy pastoral life where all the farms are small and organic and all energy is renewable. Scary.

Steven Pinker says that rock stars who did concerts protesting nuclear energy in the seventies and eighties have caused untold damage to the environment.

That’s great. Nuclear power is a no-brainer.

I have been kind of obsessed with Chernobyl the last few weeks — if anything what I have learned about that accident makes me feel even more confident in the safety of nuclear power. It took an extreme amount of incompetence in an incredibly dysfunctional government to produce that accident. Something like that would be very unlikely to ever happen again.
