THIS TEA PARTY SEEMS STRANGELY FAMILIAR, ALICE SAID
RED QueenS CAN SAVE CLIMATE SCIENCE FROM ITSELF
London, 31 March 2017 —
Prominent climate scientists tell US Congressional committee that climate science isn’t working, but can be saved by a “Red Queen” approach.
A group of prominent US climate experts have told a Congressional committee hearing that climate science is dysfunctional, beset by bias and groupthink, and is using a profoundly unscientific approach. Dressed in identical red tabards and mortarboards before the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, Professors John Christy and Judith Curry told representatives that " Science means what we say it means , neither more nor less."
“Consensus science”, as practiced by much of mainstream climatology, was “not science” at all, they said speaking together as one , and explaining that “self-deception” had got the better of far too many climatologists. Both concluded that there had been a wholesale failure to use the scientific method in climatology, something that could only be put right by Iracebeth of Crims :

Both concluded that there had been a wholesale failure to use the scientific method in climatology, something that could only be put right by Iracebeth of Crims :
Introducing official “Red Queens” – eminent scientists, like ourselves who would be asked to nod our heads in agreement and cut off those of traitorous modelers who prove disrespectful of official climate assessments, except for ours, which Hansard should enter into The Daily Mail and Breitbart News as We are not amused by the prospect of submitting our views to peer revew by science journals rather than our trusty and well beloved peers , Lord Lawson & Viscounts Ridley & Monckton," the Red Queen said, beckoning a herald to add Piers Corbyn to her honors list.
Professor Christy , best known for a letter published in Science two decades ago confessing to a major cock-up in reporting global satellite temperatures, said: “Congress needs a parallel, scientifically-based assessment of the state of climate science. Many important issues are left out of government-directed climate reports entirely; our policymakers need to see the entire range of our findings regarding climate change”
The testimony of all four climatologists , a definition Dr. Peiser extends to include conservative economists, are being republished by the Global Warming Policy Foundation, the London-based think tank which seeks to enforce public debate on climate science and policy by telling policy researchers to stop reading climatology journals, and take tea with the GWPF Director, whose climate advice is to be trusted, as he is a highly skilled sports anthropologist.
IS AN ARKANSAS LOBOTOMY SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN?
GOVERNOR HUCKABEE
HAS DENOUNCED THE PARIS AGREEMENT,
HAS DENOUNCED THE PARIS AGREEMENT,
ON BEHALF OF THE COAL MINERS OF THE OZARKS:
FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: On Sunday, the former Arkansas governor told Fox News that existing legislation, like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, are sufficient for protecting the environment: "We're not putting out the kind of pollution we once were. Everybody wants a good environment. This idea that the number one threat we face — I think Donald Trump is on the right track. He's trying to change the climate of terrorism because he knows a beheading is still worse than a sunburn."
In related news, Breitbart reports former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin condemned the "sick audacity " of comedian Kathy Griffin photographing herself holding up President Donald Trump’s severed head, and dancing in the streets of Paris continues:

PARIS ACCORD : MAKE THAT NORTH KOREA AND MIT
Being a bona fide coal baron whose estate is paid a toll for every ton of coal that crosses it, ex-economist writer, and former Northern Rock chairman, the 5th Viscount Ridley of Blagdon is often dismissed as partisan, but he has his days, as when he asks:
THE PARIS CLIMATE TREATY IS WEAK, SO
WHY DO CLIMATE ACTIVISTS DEFEND IT?
MATT RIDLEY The mis-selling of the Paris climate treaty
THE TIMES OF LONDON Tuesday, 09 May, 2017
President Trump will decide shortly whether to pull the US out of the Paris agreement on climate change. By all accounts, his instincts and his campaign promises encourage him to do so while his daughter Ivanka and his secretary of state Rex Tillerson want him not to. He has already started rolling back the “clean power plan”, which was Barack Obama’s way of meeting America’s commitment under the Paris agreement.
If he does pull out, or send the agreement to the Senate for ratification on the grounds that it is a “treaty” — something Obama took great pains to try to deny so that he would not have to send it to the Senate — there will be a fresh paroxysm of rage among his critics. Climate scepticism is high among reasons that the left hates Trump. By contrast, it is one of the few things on which I half agree with him.
I am not quite sure why his critics mind so much. Indeed, if I were one of those who thought climate change the biggest threat to humankind bar none, then I would be far more critical of the Paris agreement than I actually am. I would rail against the fact that it is a futile gesture, neither legally binding enough to be enforceable, nor of sufficient scale to make a difference to climate change. It’s those people who most worry about global warming who should be most critical of Paris...
“The Paris agreement must be an international legally binding agreement,” said the EU’s spokesman. The French foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, even rebuked John Kerry, the US secretary of state, for casting doubt on whether a legally binding treaty was possible. Mr Kerry was “confused”, he said.

THE LATEST "WHAT HUMP ?" MOMENT AT WHAT'S UP?
Watt's latest "What hump?" moment takes the form of a dull Frankenstein cartoon followed by a dumber essay that repeats what one of Watts' overcensored, but underedited, guests said last week:
This is the way the climate scare ends; not with a bang, but a whimper
A credible alternative theory today is the ‘cosmic ray flux theory’; but for every dollar in research funding that goes into that theory and for every mention in the media of that theory there must be ten thousand that go into the IPCC theory. It just cannot compete. And anyway it is too late – the IPCC theory grabbed the high ground decades ago and has never surrendered it. Furthermore skeptical scientists are not suggesting that there is any single, simple theory to supplant the IPCC’s anthropogenic climate change theory, the ‘Climate Change Orthodoxy’. Instead they offer a theory that climate change probably derives predominantly from natural ocean-atmosphere oscillations and/or by natural solar variations (irradiation and cosmic ray flux) and/or by natural cloud cover variations and/or the Milankovitch Effect, i.e. it is probably predominantly just natural. On the one hand you have something that is superficially simple, certain and easy for the public and journalists and politicians to understand (‘our carbon dioxide emissions are definitely the cause of dangerous climate change and reducing them will definitely solve the problem’) and on the other hand something that is complex, nuanced, uncertain and..."
Wrong as denying the exisitence of hoof and mouth disease- The Milankovitch effect takes literal eons to cycle, Galactic cosmic rays take even longer and experiments find they don't impact average cloud cover, and solar variabilty has been small, well-measured , and does not correlate with global warming-- temperatures have risen as solar output falls.
Of course, Aitken may be just repeating himeself to establish a misinformation availability cascade:
Climate alarmism: The mother of all availability cascades
An availability cascade is a self-reinforcing process of collective belief formation by which an expressed perception triggers a chain reaction that gives the perception of increasing plausibility through its rising availability in public discourse.

SURPRISE PARIS ACCORD CONCESSION : TRUMP SWITCHES
AIR FORCE ONE TO RADIUM FURNACE POWER
 |
| The war on coal was renewed, and the radium furnace powered Boeing 747-8 developed, after General Electric's coal - fired jet prototype proved unable to lift off from Mar Del Lago, and former Department of Transportation Chief Scientist Dr. S. Fred Singer floated the idea that fear of collateral damage from radium fallout would deter Islamic terrorists from downing the fossil fuel free plane, whose gilded interior tastefully reproduces the throne room of Breitbart columnist Ming The Merciless of Mongo. In the event of press pool cutbacks, the White House says a dozen unemployed West Virginia coal miners will be taken aboard to load the sixteen tons of number 1 pitchblend needed to keep its batteries charged for circumnavigation, and several hundred more employed to man the capstans at Andrews AFB and Mar Del Lago and wind the new AF-1's mighty titanium mainspring for takeoff. |

SO WHY DIDN'T SHE SIGN THE OREGON PETITION ?
What wouldn't the GWPF, The Heartland Institute, and Doctors For Disasrer Preparedness give for fresh scientific blood, and gravitas in the form of an Australian MD already established on the Editorial Boards of 7 respectable Journals?
How about a 50-pound sack of Kibbles & Bits?
"Residing in Perth, Australia, and publishing under the pseudonym Dr. Olivia Doll, the Staffordshire terrier ( pictured above) serves on seven medical journal editorial boards, Perth Now reports.
Her research interests include “the benefits of abdominal massage for medium-sized canines” and “the impact of skateboards on canine ambulation.” Ollie’s owner Mike Daube, a public health expert who studies tobacco control, says the stunt portraying his dog as a medical researcher began as a light-hearted response to email scams from medical journals.
But recently, one journal tasked Ollie with peer reviewing a paper on tumor management, and—as of today" Dr. Doll is still on the masthead as Associate Editor of the

GET ME THE OFFICE OF
THE PRESIDENTIAL SKY DRAGON SLAYER
As President Trump leads the charge in dismantling fake news and the ‘hoax’ of global warming we examine how the most climate-skeptical body of scientists are still being reviled and misrepresented... [PSI is Principia Scientific International, a hub for applied scientists and engineers who point to flaws in the greenhouse gas theory]. Will Trump’s administration take note?
Lukewarmist champions, Anthony Watts (WUWT) and Dr Roy Spencer were both answered in their challenges by PSI. And subsequent experiments by Mr. Watts proved that his personal lack of science training is a severe detriment to actually being able to do science.
PSI proved that a real-time model of the spherical Earth is better than an arbitrary flat static Earth with the Sun arbitrarily twice as far away as it actually is. We think that something is wrong with climate science and possibly science in general if PSI is continually challenged to prove that the Earth is spherical.
... PSI wonders: how is heat transfer emotional? How is Q ~ σ(Th4 – Tc4) emotional ? How does that equation not answer exactly what the cold photons are doing?...
Moving the goal-posts by debate opponents is always how it has been for the Slayers…this is exactly the type of behaviour we have had from GHE believers from square one. It has never been any different.
We have real-world empirical data proving that there is no greenhouse effect, with a real-world time-dependent model based on reality to demonstrate it. For years, we have pointed out that the Earth is not flat, that the Sun is not twice as far away as it should be, that cold things do not heat up hot things, and somehow these statements are called “odd proclamations”. We’re not allowed to talk about a spherical Earth with real-time Sunshine. If anyone does they get abused endlessly.
We are living in a world of insanity. Climate science, and those who believe it with the greenhouse effect, have gone insane. It is ludicrous and it is intellectually disgusting.
In testimony thereof , the group offers the following list of self-published works available at better Coal Coast remainder tables
SCARING THE FISHES
DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS IS NOT THE STRONG SUIT OF BLOOMBERG 'CLIMATE CHANGED' WORRY - WORT BARRY CLARK. INSTEAD OF INQUIRING INTO THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF LADY LIBERTY'S SOFTLY PATINATED COPPPER SKIN TO THE RAVAGES OF TIME, HE ASKS:
Never mind that the statue's Eiffel Tower quality 200-ton wrought iron armature rotted away in under a century - Barry fears 3 millimeters of annual sea level rise will drown the great French Centennial souvenir before verdigris can devour what remains of its 2.4 millimeter thick copper skin - substanial holes from marine corrosion appeared in the '50's, but were patched over in the 1976 restoration of the statue's 22.7 ton copper cuticle using patinated victorian copper from the dome of the original Bell Telephone laboratory.
How Do You Save the Statue of Liberty From Drowning?
Lady Liberty is a towering symbol of our national vulnerability to the changing planet.
We may need a replacement, for at the present rate, while rising seas may reach the copper base by the year 3308, ( not even melting the Antarctic icecap can produce the full Charleton Heston Effect- she's inconveniently a lot taller than The Day After Tomorrow posters suggest ), science must cut the copper skin's corrosion rate to under 70 microns per century in order to have as much as an original toe left to feel the water. Given how much went missing in the first 100 years, that's a pretty tall materials science order, so a truly corrosion proof 22 Karat silicon-hardened gold reboot may be the best buy. At 864 million dollars, it would cost less than restoration efforts to date, and free up space in the Fed's Downtown bullion vault.

AND THE CONCLUSIONS- OF THE NATURE GEOSCIENCE ARTICLE UPON WHICH HE SUPPOSEDLY REPORTS:
Contradicting consensus climate science: Study suggests ‘continual warming over the past 11,000 years’
UNLV Geoscience Ph.D. student Jonathan Baker has found evidence that shows nearly continuous warming from the end of the last Ice Age to the present in the Ural Mountains in central Russia.
The research, which was published today in top geoscience journal Nature Geoscience, shows continual warming over the past 11,000 years, contradicting the current belief that northern hemisphere temperatures peaked 6,000 to 8,000 years ago and cooled until the pre-Industrial period.
