You still haven’t explained why you keep lying about the standard account. What exactly do you hope to trick people into believing? That the sun doesn’t warm the earth? And that the earth does not radiate heat which is absorbed by greenhouse gasses?

And for once try directly answering the question. Don’t bother with your long boring MyrrhScienceFiction nonsense ‘lecture’.

Oh, and in MyrrhScienceFiction, what happens to the energy from visible light. Does it just disappear?

Judith: Off-topic, but I would be interested in hearing about the reliability of predictions that Sandy is about to make a sharp turn to the west and make landfall at an unprecedented manner (perpendicular to the New Jersey coast, perhaps 30 miles inland from where I live.) A day later it is projected to turn north and return to its previous course. In the mid-Atlantic region we usually experience fairly straight northerly tracks that bend towards the east that seem very different from those in the tropics. Are the forces that steer hurricanes this far north the same as in the tropics? The predicted course changes are attributed to a major front moving in from the west, a phenomena that may not be common in the Gulf or Caribbean.

lets start a betting pool for which position Judith will take in the Romney administration.

As regards the question as to how exactly the sun warms the earth – shortwave, longwave, whatever – does it really matter as far as agw is concerned? What difference does it make to the IR the earth radiates as a result of the sun’s warming and which is trapped by greenhouse gasses ?

It is difficult to avoid concluding that the IPCC consensus is manufactured and that the existence of this consensus does not lend intellectual substance to their conclusions.

Insiders evidence for the above statment:

First let me say that in general, as my own opinion, I feel rather unconfortable about using not only unpublished but also un reviewed material as the backbone of our conclusions (or any conclusions).
I realize that chapter 9 is including SRES stuff, and thus we can and need to do that too, but the fact is that in doing so the rules of IPCC have been softened to the point that in this way the IPCC is not any more an assessment of published science (which is its proclaimed goal) but production of results.

The softened condition that the models themself have to be published does not even apply because the Japanese model for example is very different from the published one which gave results not even close to the actual outlier version (in the old dataset the CCC model was the outlier).

Essentially, I feel that at this point there are very little rules and almost anything goes. I think this will set a dangerous precedent which might mine the IPCC credibility, and I am a bit uncomfortable that now nearly everybody seems to think that it is just ok to do this. Anyways, this is only my opinion for what it is worth.

Yes, Peter, I’d read Sheridan’s take on it.

Frank, my company CFAN makes hurricane predictions. We predicted the formation of Sandy on Oct 16 and have pretty much had the correct track since Oct 23. We have been conducting briefings for the energy/power sector (our main clients). We have also been predicting the large size and large storm surge for the past week. This storm has been pretty predictable. The track has now started its turn. The track is driven by the atmospheric circulation patterns, so once the storm makes it to the higher latitudes, it is subject the whims of the midlatitude weather patterns. We also do see fronts affecting the Gulf storm; a classic example this past year was Debby, which originally looked like it would track into the Gulf, but then turned right across Florida.

This morning the forecast for Atlantic City has winds of less than 40 MPH for tonight and tomorrow, no mention of tornados. The satellite picture shows decreasing definition, the turn left not yet made. It is a big hurricane, but “only” cat 1. So there will be a lot of damage to things due to waves and inundation, but people should be able to care for themselves.

Prof Curry: Hurricane Katrina was a huge wake up call.

If my reading is indicative, it encouraged other locales to recheck their emergency preparedness procedures as they always do after disasters, theirs and others’. Only in NO was there any waking up. There was a spike in climate/hurricane alarmism for a year or two, which may have heightened awareness to the overall decline in hurricane frequency that followed, but not much else.

Perhaps my view is because where I live the risk is from firestorms (Cedar Fire in 2003; Witch Fire in 2007 which induced about 500,000 people to evacuate [a fifth of San Diego County, as memory serves]), but it seems to me that Hurricane Katrina actually changed very little. The East Coast has a record of receiving, preparing for, and recovering from hurricanes.
