Ron,
I’m not into the detail on this, but yes, the Wiki summary you quote seems reasonable as far as I’m aware; the Muir Russel enquiry I quoted was rather more critical but certainly not damning.
I’ve not read the whole wiki page and I’m not familiar with the outcomes of the other various enquiries.
Punksta
Wiki. Again, their bias on climate is legendary. Perhaps you also imagine the BBC is open and objective ?
I guess that’s a “yes” on the paranoia front then.
its still not that simple.
you have no evidence.
the best approach is to suspend judgement.
its not semantic nit picking. I’m not arguing about the meanings of words.
I’m saying it’s not as simple as you and whoever agreeing.
JimD, “That’s the forcing pulling up the temperature along with the imbalance.”
That sentence is what is called a WAG. Currently the imbalance is in the southern hemisphere, Stephens et al. 2015 I believe and about 0.6 Wm-2 in the hemisphere with the least GHG forcing. That particular paper has an issue or two, but that part seems to be fairly accurate. Kinda of remarkably, most climate science papers have issues, probably because the “physics” are a bit complex. To physics nerds, that is the interesting part not the “let’s defend the theory” WAGathon.
Good physics nerds, that would be people like Dave the physics guy, can smell BS from threads away. Not paying a fisherman much mind is fine, Rothenthal et al., Stephens et al., our “Dr. Judy” and Physicistdave however might be on to something doncha know.
The left uses tactics to cause difficulties for those it oppose. Ob’s tech czar:
“”people’s beliefs are a product of social networks working as echo chambers in which false rumors spread like wildfire.”

Would cost much $ to send a few cyber-merchs over…..
Jim D:
Both angech and Appell took immediate offense to the term at Tamino’s site. So, I would not say that only Steyn was familiar with that usage.
Say what? angech and David Appell both took immediate offense to the phrase because they felt it was sexist and offensive, which it was. They never once even hinted it might have any sexual connotation.
I myself have called the phrase sexist in the past for the same reason they did. That doesn’t mean I knew about this crazy idea of Steyn’s.
This pingback is full of therapeutic slurs, which is the classic attack from the left when their opinion is violated.
One would wonder, is their an arithmetic of guilt applied. So, for instance since climateetc was a link out does she get only a half guilt? If this sum of association were to diverge it would suggest a totalitarian tendancy.
So perhaps at this level of therapeutic indiscretion a certain number of public humilities would suffice….
Anybody recognizing this regime? Gottfried calls it the secular theocracy.
Ha ha, I see the left has annhiliate secular theocracy so I offer https://mises.org/library/multiculturalism-and-politics-guilt-toward-secular-theocracy-paul-edward-gottfried
I have so wondered about the impacts of rejected heat from inside structures and effects on urban temperatures so appreciate that link. Also would wonder about the same impact from heat pumps in cooler season’s leading to a bit warmer cool temperatures, but abstract doesn’t seem to discuss that issue.
The University of Chicago’s new free speech statement. This nails it.[link]
Someone help me. Seems good, but how can I trust anything from U. Chic?
Poor brandoon with more dim and ridiculous self-contradiction:
“Tamino stopped using the phrase “Aunt Judy” over a year ago because he felt it was sexist and believed that was inappropriate (hardly what you’d expect if what Steyn argues were true).”
” In all the time Tamino used the phrase, nobody ever suggested he was using it that way.”
So tamandingo was using the phrase apparently frequently for some time, but he eventually stopped. No, that can’t be true, cause tamandingo has an INCREDIBLY STRONG view when it comes to that sexist stuff:
“What makes it especially hilarious is is Tamino has an incredibly strong view when it comes to sexism, one I’ve mocked because it’s ridiculous. It’s to the point where he says all men should be ashamed, just for being men, because of the rape culture they’ve created. He says all men are responsible for the victimization of women and berates anyone who disagrees.”
Keep it up, junior.
I don’t see any reason to give tamandingo the benefit of the doubt. It’s perfectly reasonable to assume the worst of that little creep. Even yimmy gets it.
So now valuing tradition is a therapeutic slur, ambiguity intolerance. Kind if half Freudian jui jitsu and half Intellectual bolshevism:
“However, it makes even more sense once you read the seminal research on ambiguity intolerance and learn more about other personality tendencies that tend to go hand in hand with it. For example, according to early researcher Frenkel-Brunswik, ambiguity-intolerant people tend to “like dichotomous conceptions of the sex roles…and of interpersonal relationships in general…are less permissive, and lean toward rigid categorization of cultural norms” (1948).”
Did I miss something?
The mainstream media has been filled with articles that this July was the warmest July ever….like ever freaking ever (I think somebody at science-free Slate said in the last 4.5 billion years). I’ve also seen a few posts (e.g. JoNova) that says that according to satellite measurements this was only the warmest July since (wait for it) last July.
What appears to be an intense public relations full court press leading up to the Nov. Paris Redistribution Festival I would think would be something discussed here.
If I missed a post on this please direct me.
captd, if the imbalance is in the southern hemisphere it is because the ocean is only warming half as fast as the land (but still warming) and the Arctic is warming even faster, so again physics has an explanation with thermal inertia and feedbacks. It is very tough for skeptics to make their energy budgets add up in their favor because it points to a remaining deficit in the heating despite all the heating so far. GHGs have put us into a debt and the warming is our payment.
