Maxy – to be a citizen scientist you actually have to do some science.

e.g. http://scistarter.com/blog/2011/07/citizen-paleontologists-are-making-history/

Uncertainty is a sop to the virtual, if misguided and profoundly unscientific certainly of the Borg collective cult of CAGW groupthink space cadets. Wonder if this prompt them to review their assumptions? As if.

Actually – science is virtually certain (>99%) that the greenhouse gas residual warming is at most 0.08 degrees C/decade. The really funny thing is that this would not be a problem at all – probably offset by cooling in Bond Event Zero – if it were not for deterministic chaos.

The chance that we are not in a cool Pacific decadal mode – and that these don’t last for 20 to 40 years in the long proxy records – is vanishingly small.

The likelihood of predicting climate beyond that – any time soon – by any means more accurate than tossing a coin is likewise vanishingly small. Scientific reality rather than uncertainty.

newsbusters is hardly a credible source of factual information

“In fact, rather than point out the mission was to find evidence of climate change”

That’s BS.

I would call it chump bait. Poor ordvic swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.

“Australia has experienced just one cooler-than-average year in the last decade – 2011.”

Yep. And warmer and warmer we go. Can’t escape basic thermodynamics. More net energy arriving than leaving globally with ocean cycles dictating when and where it makes its way out to the troposphere…but make no mistake, it will make it’s way out.

We put the Dept. of Motor Vehicles in the hands of unelected bureaucrats. How’s that working out for you?

It always amazed me (when I was younger and more naive) that a state office would computerize some function so that it could be done quickly and electronically, with much less human intervention, and then charge MORE for the service with an added electronic filing fee, in total contrast to how the rest of the world does things,

No, all you need is a pulse.

But as I’m sure you know, being a prolific citizen scientist requires a strong urge to talk about subjects you know little or nothing about.

Pekka seems not to notice that long after everyone understood whose fault this fiasco was, the head of it was still trying to blame ‘global warming’ and everyone else instead of himself.

climatereason, it shows up in the last 60 years when we have 0.8 C for 80 ppm. It is quite clear in the graph I showed.

but it doesn’t show up in 400 years of data. Natural cycles longer than 60 years?

Michael Gerson is a charter member of the “me too” caucus of the Republican Party. Of course progressives like what he says. He was

The fact that he can be counted on to misrepresent, or at best badly misunderstand, conservative positions on governance is the reason he landed at the Washington Post..

You also have to remember that this period includes 70% of the CO2 increase, so it is where the signal would be expected to stand out most. It is harder to extract the pre-1950 signal when the emission rate was less than a quarter of that in this period. You could look for subtle background trends pre-1950, but I think that is a waste of time when the more recent signal is so obvious.

Ask a physicist about what dark matter is, or about which is right, string theory or super symmetry.

But that’s just it, I don’t believe them. Not enough historical data, and too much interpretation and adjustments to current data, while it too easy to show the data doesn’t show anything.

Mr. Tisdale, Thanks for your huge contributions to our understanding of ENSO and other phenomena. If you are taking a fulltime job, which is my guess, your employer is fortunate indeed. You have a first rate intellect and a first rate work ethic. God bless you, Sir.
