Friday Funny – Real Science vs. Fake Science

Josh spots the difference. Do you have your climate emergency “insurance” paid up yet?


From CLINTEL.org

John F. Clauser, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum mechanics, has decided to sign the World Climate Declaration of Clintel with its central message “there is no climate emergency”. Clauser is the second Nobel Laureate to sign the  declaration, Dr. Ivar Giaever was the first. The number of scientists and experts signing the World Climate Declaration is growing rapidly and now approaching 1600 people.

Clauser has publicly distanced himself from climate alarmism and this year he also joined the Board of Directors of the CO­2 Coalition. In the announcement by the CO2 Coalition, Clauser was quoted in the following way:

“The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science.”

IPCC is spreading dangerous misinformation
In July Clauser gave a talk at the event Quantum Korea 2023. He warned the audience about the growing amount of pseudoscience and misinformation.

“Now I am not alone in observing the dangerous proliferation of pseudoscience. Recently, The Nobel Foundation has formed a new panel to address the issue called the International Panel on Information Environment. They plan to model it after the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC.
I think personally that they are making a big mistake in that effort because in my opinion the IPCC is one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation. What I’m about to recommend is in furtherance of that, of the aims of that panel. […]

I have a second elephant in the room that I have recently discovered regarding climate change. I believe that climate change is not a crisis. […]

Beware. If you’re doing good science, it may lead you into politically incorrect areas. If you’re a good scientist, you will follow them. I have several I won’t have time to discuss, but I can confidently say there is no real climate crisis and that climate change does not cause extreme weather events.”

The only conclusion in that case was that a law making it illegal to have any consideration to the effluent or exhaust of any commercial or industrial process when deciding where the facility could be located was illegal. It had nothing to do with whether the facilities produced anything to do with climate, weather, child cancer or psycopathy.

Wow, the defensiveness of Mosher’s posts is getting worse all the time.
It’s almost as if he knows how badly he is losing, but what little is left of his pride won’t let him slink back into obscurity.

Everyone of his posts are rank with insults, yet he continues to whine because someone accuses him of not knowing science. (BTW, such a statement is not an insult. Especially given the vast number of posts you have made that prove the charge.)

A man who routinely cites the so called consensus has no room to complain when others cite a petition of actual scientists.

You whines that since these men don’t have degrees in climate science therefore they don’t have a right to an opinion rings hollow, given that fact that few of the leading lights in the alarmist meeting are even scientists and that none of them have degrees in relative fields.

The only thing a degree in philosophy gets you is the ability to lie more cleverly.

Nobody here has cited this petition as proof that climate alarmism isn’t real. We cite it as proof that the so called consensus that you are always citing doesn’t exist.

We’ve spent years citing data and science to prove that there is no reason to believe CO2 is a problem, much less a crisis. You have yet to address any of these posts. Instead all you are capable of doing is spout insults and whine when those insults are returned.

Perhaps you should read up on what Clauser did to merit the Nobel prize in physics. It was essentially devising experiments and making very precise measurements to test quantum theory. That’s called ’empirical evidence’ and I don’t think it can be done without actually understanding the theory you are testing. By the way, Feynman was being a bit modest as he was the one of the pioneers in QM theory. Clause got the prize for work done 20 years ago and said he has turned his attention to climate and weather since then. I personally don’t care about anyone’s credentials if they can make a persuasive argument and back it up with solid evidence. Willis E. is very good at this even though he’s not a PhD (although he can out think and out research most of them).

Counting signatories, the “democratization” of science, was one of the first arguments that the climate alarmists made. It’s foolish to use their fallacious tactics. So far, publicizing the findings of genuine climate scientists, and economists, seems to be having an effect. Highlighting the fraud of carbon sequestration and renewable energy will turn the tide when the facts are commonly known.

You are correct, of course, that voting doesn’t matter in questions of science or generally speaking engineering. Yet it is important to show that the Clintel declaration is not the product of one idiosyncratic individual or small group — i.e. a larger group of people with something better than a layman’s understanding of the issue agree with Guus Berkhout. It may get people who are impressed by numbers to actually investigate for themselves.

Even though one person can be entirely correct in some scientific matter or engineering issue when others are wrong, that person can also be quite wrong. We have multiple engineers give a go-no go vote to a design just to help avoid such an occurrence. Same is true of replication of scientific results.

Like most alarmists, Mosh is an expert and charging others with what he has been doing.

He is also incapable of understanding that those of us on the skeptic side are not required to agree with each other.

In what’s left of his mind, he actually believes that if one person uses one standard of evidence, and someone else uses a different one, that this proves that none of us have a consistent standard of evidence.

You post was mendaciously generated since you didn’t post this from the SAME website that utterly destroys your argument:

Qualifications of Signers

Signatories are approved for inclusion in the Petition Project list if they have obtained formal educational degrees at the level of Bachelor of Science or higher in appropriate scientific fields. The petition has been circulated only in the United States.

The current list of petition signers includes 9,029 PhD; 7,157 MS; 2,586 MD and DVM; and 12,715 BS or equivalent academic degrees. Most of the MD and DVM signers also have underlying degrees in basic science.

All of the listed signers have formal educations in fields of specialization that suitably qualify them to evaluate the research data related to the petition statement. Many of the signers currently work in climatological, meteorological, atmospheric, environmental, geophysical, astronomical, and biological fields directly involved in the climate change controversy.

The Petition Project classifies petition signers on the basis of their formal academic training, as summarized below. Scientists often pursue specialized fields of endeavor that are different from their formal education, but their underlying training can be applied to any scientific field in which they become interested.

Outlined below are the numbers of Petition Project signatories, subdivided by educational specialties. These have been combined, as indicated, into seven categories.

1. Atmospheric, environmental, and Earth sciences includes 3,805 scientists trained in specialties directly related to the physical environment of the Earth and the past and current phenomena that affect that environment.

2. Computer and mathematical sciences includes 935 scientists trained in computer and mathematical methods. Since the human-caused global warming hypothesis rests entirely upon mathematical computer projections and not upon experimental observations, these sciences are especially important in evaluating this hypothesis.

3. Physics and aerospace sciences include 5,812 scientists trained in the fundamental physical and molecular properties of gases, liquids, and solids, which are essential to understanding the physical properties of the atmosphere and Earth.

4. Chemistry includes 4,822 scientists trained in the molecular interactions and behaviors of the substances of which the atmosphere and Earth are composed.

5. Biology and agriculture includes 2,965 scientists trained in the functional and environmental requirements of living things on the Earth.

6. Medicine includes 3,046 scientists trained in the functional and environmental requirements of human beings on the Earth.

7. Engineering and general science includes 10,102 scientists trained primarily in the many engineering specialties required to maintain modern civilization and the prosperity required for all human actions, including environmental programs.

The following outline gives a more detailed analysis of the signers’ educations.

It may be true that a large number of scientists does not prove or disprove a particular thing, except for one particular thing: “The consensus of scientists say the science is settled”. The very phrase “settled science” was stupid to begin with, but having 1609 sign a petition saying it isn’t settled is….shall we say….unsettling?

The surface area of the Earth is approximately 510 million square km or 196,900,000 square miles. There are always severe weather, droughts, floods and fires happening in multiple locations on this celestial ball at any given moment.

As recently as 50 years ago, mankind had no means of observing and measuring them all at once. Today, we can’t have a heavy rain shower or a puff of wind without it being given a name by the Weather (porn) Channel.

If the public is barraged daily with reports of severe weather events somewhere on planet Earth (such as your stupid litany), always blaming it on “climate change,”  the ignorant or naive among us might begin to believe the propaganda. That is in fact the current attribution strategy of the alarmists.

Even predicting large events a few days out is dubious. But that’s not the real issue with “models”. The real issue is that GCMs can’t project climate a hundred years out because they’re fits that can’t account for change. And yet pseudo climate science relies on them.

Bla bla bla yet the long-term trends don’t show any signs of a developing climate emergency.

When you build cities along the coastline that grows large in population there will be an increase in damage and deaths by default.

There have always been incredible weather events how come we haven’t gotten a repeat of the Columbus day storm in 1962, which by your warmist/alarmist way of thinking should happen more often.

As to all those happening simultaneously, do you have evidence that they haven’t?
Regardless, simple statistics says that there is a chance that a bunch of random events can occur close to each other in time. Basic statistics. Then again, it’s not surprising that Steven knows nothing about statistics, after all he lacks a degree in statistics and you need advanced degrees in a topic before you are qualified to talk about it. At least that’s whet Steven keeps telling us to believe.

If people in SoCal aren’t prepared for flash floods, then that is there fault, flash floods in SoCal happen once or twice in a decade, and have for as long as we have records.
