What the climate science global warming “scientists” have done to public trust in science and the smearing of the reputation of all scientists is beyond appalling. Hopefully once this mess settles down we can learn to guard ourselves from such charlatans.

A real scientist does not sue a journalist or a fellow scientist critic for disagreeing with them. A real scientist shares all data in request and helps everyone else to try to replicate how he did what he did. Only a political shill hides behind law suites.

Butt in chair is one of those confounding factors. Another interesting confounding factor is fad diet health impacts. Once you are “labeled” obese you are more likely to experiment with various fad diets to ditch the label, the over doing it effect.
The canned tuna diet came close to killing a number of people and highlighted the Mercury issue. The high dollar “white” tuna and Albaco has more Mercury so the more affluent were more greatly impacted.

Gary that is a great point I hadn’t considered. Governments pushing global warming and climate change frequently have their own reward in mind. That is justifying carbon tax and wealth redistribution. Therefore governments, who don’t have to survive in reality and always have the public purse to dip into, are far more suspect than industry that needs accurate results.

Pasteur was not allowed to join the reputable chemistry science clubs of his day either.

I will try to restate my point more clearly.
TCR will not necessarily be reduced even though in the paper you referenced observed forcing from CO2 is lower than derived from radiative transfer models and even though I gave an actual example where calculated TCR decreases.
Depending upon calculation methodology, forcing isn’t relevant:
e.g. TCR = (T-T0) * ln 2 / ln(C/C0)
Note: this observed TCR may or may not be comparable to GCM TCR due to 70 yr doubling time CO2 is not controlled.

blue, “However, λ, the climate sensitivity parameter is inversely proportional to ΔF, so one would not expect TCR to decrease(!) for direct calculations, no?”
Lambda is the sum of a number of feedbacks with glacial area being a big one. As glacial area decreases lambda would decrease significantly. That is just one example. I am not sure why you wouldn’t expect TCR not to decrease other than not considering the actual factors involved in lambda.

Teflon Jim is imprevious to reasoned argument.
But I’ll give him his due, he is fearless in his willingness to make statements which more often than not are divorced from reality.

Don Monfort, in your mind, who are the persons presently comprising the “we” who view Jorge Mario Bergoglio as “an ill-informed patronizing pernicious peronista”?
Conclusion Most thoughtful citizens have a different view.

This is SO true. You only need to look at the studies of academia and the percentage of Republicans in tenured position, or the totally preposterous academia based demonization of Israel. It is a self perpetuating mindset as well. I had one interview where I was questioned extensively on my Zionism even though the job was about teaching genetics which should have had nothing to do with my political leanings. I even asked the interviewer what my membership in The Winnipeg Zionist Initiative had to do with the position. He replied that I would not just be teaching the content of a specific subject, I would be acting as a role model and mentor to young minds and they had to be certain I was the right sort of person for that. Oh and I didn’t get that job. No surprise.

And it also affects media. I saw a piece about who gets into journalism school. There’s a reason so many FOX commentators came into journalism by nontraditional routes.

“…questioned…my Zionism…”
Here in the US I think that would be an illegal question on both freedom of religion and political discrimination grounds, especially if it was a public institution.

This makes me laugh. One of the reasons I like watching FOX is they can be counted on to always present multiple perspectives and they tolerate multiple perspectives in their staff and commentators. I’ll bet anyone on the Guardian staff who doesn’t tow the Guardian line on climate change has long since ceased to be on staff.
