And it is unfalsifiable by design because the serious measurable consequences are ALWAYS moving into the future.

Selection Bias In Datasets Advances A False Narrative The Sun Has No Climate ImpactQuote:

Advocates of AGW may only use Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) reconstructions that align with the perspective that the Sun has little to no impact on climate. Consequently, climate models may only use the PMOD's model-based satellite data (which shows a declining trend since 1980) rather than the ACRIM (which shows an increasing TSI trend from the 1980s to 2000s).

It's policy-driven "science" since the end goal is control, not saving the world or anything else. Plus, most people are either too busy looking at tiktok or scientifically illiterate.VegasAg86 said:That's laughable. How can they possibly be taken seriously?ShinerAggie said:

The white evangelical march toward climate disaster
The most striking and disturbing finding of the Public Religion Research Institute's new climate change survey is that while the proportion of all Americans who consider climate change a crisis has risen 16% since 2014, among white evangelicals it has dropped 38%.
That brings crisis-level concern among white evangelicals down to 8% the lowest of any religious community in the country. They are also the only community whose support for action to mitigate climate change falls below 0.5 on a scale of 0 1. (Their 0.41 support level compares with 0.57 for all Americans.)
At the other end of the scale are the nones (or, in PRRI lingo, the unaffiliated), among whom crisis concern has risen by nearly a quarter, from 33% to 43%, with support for mitigation action at 0.66.
Black Protestants are the only other religious community whose crisis-level of concern about climate has declined in the past decade (from 24% to 19%). But their support for mitigation action, at 0.61, is above the national average. (It may be that, since 2014, the situation of Black people in American society has edged climate out of the crisis category for some.)

Of course, it's hardly news that white evangelicals come in last on the scale of faith-based climate concern. Beginning in the 1990s, they were the principal audience for the Interfaith Council for Environmental Stewardship, an outfit funded by the Koch brothers and fossil fuel companies that promoted skepticism about climate change and the science behind it.

Want to be the envy of all your friends? Just casually drop "I'm vacationing in the Maldives" into conversation, preferably in the dead of winter. Nothing screams "paradise" quite like the Maldives, a 26-atoll chain of islands with powdery beaches, turquoise waters, and dreamy overwater bungalow resorts.
I've been keeping up with this peripherally. It would be funnier if it were not coming here next.nortex97 said:

yea, whatever.
World is 1.6C above the mean, NATL highest temps ever, Gulf highest temps ever. Record warm TX, highest lows ever in Baton Rouge, Tampa, Miami, PHX this year.
Morrocco 122F, highest ever.
Greece, 119F highest ever.
Spain 118F tied highest ever.
Of course. The group that can be smeared, marginalized, attacked, bullied, and openly mocked with no repercussions. Sure is a heavy cross to bear (pun completely intended).captkirk said:

This is one of those things that only has a trailing impact, if it continues, which I suspect it will. We need less 'renewable' energy investments, to be sure (outside of nuclear).Quote:
Global renewable energy funds saw record outflows of money in the third quarter of 2023 as stocks of wind and solar developers and suppliers crashed amid rising costs, higher interest rates, and supply-chain challenges.
Renewable energy exchange traded funds (ETFs), tracking the performance of clean energy companies, suffered a total of $1.4 billion of outflows in the third quarter, the highest outflows of any previous quarter, according to data from LSEG Lipper cited by Reuters.
The record outflows between July and September only partially offset net inflows of $3.36 billion for the first half of 2023, the data showed.
However, renewable energy stocks started to come under pressure around the middle of this year as development costs surged amid high interest rates and supply-chain delays.
The S&P Global Clean Energy Index, comprised of the 100 biggest companies in the renewable energy sector, had a year-to-date return of -31.08% as of October 9, while the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF had a -29.78% YTD return as of October 6.
Some individual stocks haven't fared much better. For example, shares in the world's top offshore wind farm developer, Orsted, had dropped by 44.49% year to date to October 10, with most of the decline accumulated in recent weeks.

Recently a compilation of almost 100.000 historical data about chemical CO2 concentration measurements between 1826 and 1960 has been published as post mortem memorial edition of the late Ernst-Georg Beck. This compilation can give important insight in understanding natural CO2 emission processes, but it has been criticized, in particular a documented significant increase of the atmospheric CO2 concentration around 1940. In this contribution we do not respond to any criticism of more or less suitable places for sampling or the interpretation of respective data, but concentrate on the CO2 data around 1940 and the variations over the last century. We show that the observed concentration changes not only correlate with observed temperatures, but can also quantitatively be explained, mainly in terms of the temperature dependent soil respiration.

Maybe I misunderstand your comment, but I didn't take it that way at all. I think he is saying that actual, physical CO2 measurements are of better quality with more resolution than ice core reconstructions, and using the actual measurements leads to a different conclusion than when assuming CO2 values derived from ice cores are representative of atmospheric compositions at those times.

Yes, I get that is what Beck's work shows. My comment was in reference to the Englebeen (2023) quote. I didn't make that clear.

Pro: Official Government Data Shows an Alarming Rapid Rise in Temperature Over 140 years
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is the original organization to raise the warning on global temperature increases, due to increasing carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, during an address to the U.S. Senate by Dr. James Hansen in June 1988.
NASA GISS maintains a website where the data and graphs derived from that data are publicly available. They say:They offer a graph of global temperature for each year from 1880 to the present as seen below….Quote:
The GISS Surface Temperature Analysis ver. 4 (GISTEMP v4) is an estimate of global surface temperature change. Graphs and tables are updated around the middle of every month using current data files from NOAA GHCN v4 (meteorological stations) and ERSST v5 (ocean areas), combined as described in our publications Hansen et al. (2010) and Lenssen et al. (2019). These updated files incorporate reports for the previous month and also late reports and corrections for earlier months.
such a scam. sad the communists have so many dumb youths fooled by the alarmism religion.Quote:

In other words, there is no climate crisis:Quote:
What was the millennial-scale pattern of temperature change through the Holocene?
The primary outcome of this synthesis is that most records in Arctic Canada and Greenland display clear evidence for periods of both warmer-than-present and cooler-than-present conditions at the millennial timescale during the Holocene. A large proportion of sites in the Arctic Holocene database (Fig. 4) display a thermal maximum in the early or middle Holocene, and their lowest temperatures in the last millennium, albeit with both spatial and temporal variability.
Time Magazine had a picture on the front of their mag wondering, "Are we entering another Ice Age?" How can anyone with a quarter of a brain cell believe any of the climate morons?Tony Franklins Other Shoe said:
The info is there, but just to bring it into focus, the Holocene is just shy of 12,000 years. We have the idiots screeching about freezing to death and then boiling to death in the last 50 years based on roughly 100 years of very manipulated data. Geologic time is a *****.
Arguably the dumbest outcome Ive seen of European regulation. They classified wood as a renewable resource, companies started harvesting forests in the US South, compressing the wood in2 pellets & then shipping to Europe to be burned. Stupid stupid stupid. https://t.co/AI0TuqLWnN
