Kevin Trenberth: omkering bewijslast
The fact is that we canĀt account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we canĀt.
Dat was onthullend, want de leden van het Climategate- 'team' hadden tegenover de buitenwacht altijd krampachtig volgehouden dat de wetenschap er uit was en dat alle wetenschappers het daarover eens waren. Maar dat was natuurlijk een vergefelijk leugentje om bestwil, want anders zou onherstelbaar schade worden toegebracht aan hun messiaanse boodschap dat klimaatbeleid urgent was om die verschrikkelijke opwarming van de aarde (die maar niet wil komen) een halt toe te roepen.
Warmists: 'We can't win the game, so let's change the rules'
Willis EschenbachĀs recent guest post at Watts Up With That? on the current state of ĀClimate scienceĀ should be made compulsory reading in every classroom, every university science department, every eco-charity, every environmental NGO and in every branch of government. They wonĀt like it up Āem, thatĀs for sure. ...The theory linking man-made CO2 with dangerous global warming is dead. It has been falsified. It has run smack bang into a Ānull hypothesis.Ā It has met its Waterloo. ...
Eschenbach wrote his post in response to a bizarre speech prepared by Dr Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), which he intended to deliver to the American Meteorological Society. ...
When TrenberthĀs speech was pre-published on the internet it caused something of a stir, both for the way large chunks of it had been taken almost verbatim from another scientist and for its use six times of the word ĀdenierĀ. (Thanks to some kindly advice proferred by Steve McIntyre, Trenberth has now significantly altered his speech. But not Ā as I incorrectly reported earlier Ā by changing his six uses of the word ĀdeniersĀ to ĀscepticsĀ. That loaded word deniers he has kept, which gives you an idea of the manĀs zealotry. And also his foolishness: a good many in his audience at the AMS, being meteorologists rather than Āclimate scientistsĀ tend very much to fall into the sceptic camp).
What Eschenbach focuses on, though, is TrenberthĀs absurd demand that the Ānull hypothesisĀ on AGW theory be reversed. That is, instead of having to prove AGW exists, what people should now be required to prove that it doesnĀt exist. (!)
Will any of this happen? ItĀs about as likely, IĀd say, as my winning gold in the 100 metres at the 2012 London Olympics. The reason for this is that ĀClimate ChangeĀ has long since abandoned any connection it had now with actual science. It is an ideology. A religion. A psychopathology.
