Michael Mann’s “hockey stick” hypocrisy

Why would any “scientist” refuse to allow his data to be reviewed?  That’s not science. That’s fideism. Works for religion but not for science.  Penn State scientist Michael Mann grafted historical temperature data derived from tree rings and other sources to modern observations and smoothed things out to produce the now infamous “hockey stick” graph

Johnny Depp, Climate Change Activist, Owns 14 Homes, A French Chateau, And A Private Jet

My mother used to say “actions speak louder than words”.  But that’s ok.

Japan: Fifty solar PV companies already gone in 2017 as subsidies end. Coal soaring.

What’s the word for competitive-but-needs-a-subsidy? Broke… If you have to subsidize it, it’s not sustainable.  Japan is experiencing that, where the solar companies are collapsing because they cannot sustain themselves without an infusion of subsidies from industries that work.  Up to 100 solar PV firms in Japan could face bankruptcy this year, with more than

Temperature has been decreasing as CO2 increased

Well, here’s an inconvenient truth: CO2 levels and temperature move in the opposite direction. Via Robert:  Greenland ice cores tell the story. If you look at this graph over the last 8,000 years or so, you will see that temperature has been decreasing as CO2 increased. http://climate4you.com/images/GISP2%20TemperatureSince10700%20BP%20with%20CO2%20from%20EPICA%20DomeC.gif

Turkey can’t get free money from US, decides climate is safe, Paris unneccessary

JoNova rightly notes: Ergodan does his own climate maths — decides that the most significant inflatable cash cow has  disappeared from the sky.

Al Gore Praises “Climate Leader” South Australia

South Australians have rolling blackouts because they don’t have enough energy to power their homes and businesses.

Leading Climate Scientist Says Debating Scientific Theories Would Be ‘Un-American’

ou’d think the 97 percent of scientists who supposedly all agree about climate change would eagerly line up to vanquish climate deniers—but apparently not. Via Julie Kelly:  Way, way back in April 2017, scientists around the world participated in the ‘March for Science’ as a show of force and unity against an allegedly anti-science Trump

More rational policies in our future?

“President Trump’s bold decision underscores the ill-informed science, economics, ethics and energy politics that have driven climate cataclysm caterwauling for decades.” – Paul Driessen   “Al Gore says President Trump’s Exit Paris decision will bring “a global weather apocalypse.” Coal-billionaire Tom Steyer called the action “a traitorous act of war.” And then some common sense:

Indirect Effects of the Sun on Earth’s Climate

Great article from Mike Jonas on solar influence on climate.  For a long time, I have been bitterly disappointed at the blinkered lopsided attitude of the IPCC and of many climate scientists, by which they readily accepted spurious indirect effects from CO2-driven global warming (the “feedbacks”), yet found a range of excuses for ignoring the possibility
