                                AT  GENERAL  MONCKTONICS,
                 PROGRESS IS OUR LEAST IMPORTANT PRODUCT


Watts' latest news is George White repeating Viscount Monckton's repetition of what George White said last year.

A Consensus Of Convenience


We publish this here, not to confirm that it is correct, but to stimulate the debate needed to determine whether or not it is correct or if it’s simply an exercise in curve fitting. ~ctm
George White, August 2017
Climate science is the most controversial science of the modern era. A reason why the controversy has been so persistent is that those who accept the IPCC as the arbiter of climate science fail to recognize that a controversy even exists. Their rationalization is that the IPCC’s conclusions are presented as the result of a scientific consensus, therefore, the threshold for overturning them is so high, it can’t be met, especially by anyone who’s peer reviewed work isn’t published in a main stream climate science journal. Their universal reaction when presented with contraindicative evidence is that there’s no way it can be true, therefore, it deserves no consideration and whoever brought it up can be ignored ..
Here's the orginal, based not on peer reviewed climate science-  The board of Monckton's ersatz "learned journal "  resigned in protest over its publication of White's  the bogus analogy to  circuit theory, but the same nonsense  the electircal engineer has been parroting  at WUWT and GWPF conferences since 2011:

SCIENTISTS ADMIT FAKE CLIMATE CHANGE PREDICTIONS

Breaking news: Major climate science error exposed!

At the recent high-level climate change conference in London, a fundamental error in climate science was revealed for the first time. 
The much-vaunted “climate consensus” turns out to have been wrong all along.
At the London conference, 80 Professors, 60 Doctors of Science and 40 other experts, including Piers Corbyn, brother of Britain’s opposition leader, who has a first-class degree in Astrophysics, were shocked to learn that the error, first introduced a generation ago when climate scientists borrowed feedback math from electronic network analysis without really understanding it, is the reason for their exaggerated predictions of how much global warming Man may cause.
Without that error, no one would ever have tried to pretend that global warming is a global crisis.
Once the error is corrected – which will happen when the paper describing it in mathematical detail is published in a leading scientific journal – the climate scare will be officially over.
Last year I published a paper in the learned journal Energy & Environment drawing attention to a problem deep in the math used by climate modelers to fabricate their profitable predictions of doom.
At that time I was hunting for the error that had caused the problem... A few weeks ago George White, an electronics engineer, contacted me to say that there were indeed several ... so grievous that the arrogant profiteers who have made fortunes out of pretending the science is settled could be thrown out of business overnight – and good riddance.
