Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

Another eminent scientist speaks complete sense.

Quite a long video, but as usual the first bit (c.22 mins) is devoted to explaining why he is qualified to offer an opinion.

Well worth a watch.

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

This eminent climatologist seems to have a very good idea about what's going on.

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

I'm sure by now, the penny must be dropping as it becomes ever clearer that our forecasting exaggerates the increase. As we have no idea (unless the scientists are clairvoyant) what temp change would have taken place had we been absent, I really don't understand how they arrived at todays near hyste...

True Barkers.
Schizophrenia is a terrible ailment. Two personalities in conflict within the one body- each blaming the other for his actions.

If I decided to adopt another user name, or several- they would all still be me.

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

Fox. Thanks again for your lucid response to what is clearly a very complicated issue- despite it being simplified into 'CO2 up, temperature up' for mass consumption. Thanks also to boac for his attempts to sarcastically portray me as a 'skygod', unable to read a graph. I thought personal insults we...

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

Well, 'hats off' to you Fox, for at least having a crack at what is clearly a little more complex than reading a graph. Sounds to me to be as close to Sweet FA as makes no difference, and hardly the 'Crisis' or 'Emergency' we are being asked to worry about....endlessly. My own view is that it's a sh...

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

I quite agree, Fox. It's not the temp, it's the temp difference over time that matters.

So what's the temp difference twixt 1998 and 2022?

Thanks Barkers.
I'll need to work up to the new dumbing down- give me a few years.

Meantime- anybody got a NUMBER for the warming since c.1998?

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

Bo I'm as capable as the next man of reading a graph, but the years differ so much that a degree of averaging is required, and when working to 1/100ths of a degree, I'm not confident of a correct answer. If it's so easy, why don't you do it and let us know. I await your answer with interest- or anyb...

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

Thanks Boac, and Green A I looked at the charts, which as you know are up and down like the proverbial tarts knickers. Sure, I can see it looks like it's kept on warming. If it's all so obvious- just tell me how much it has warmed since 2000. A number, would be good- a source for that number even be...

I don't dispute the sources. just looking for a number on how much it's warmed since 2000.

Any luck?

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

Well, as I mentioned in my post #426, I'm trying to find out how much it has risen- in numbers since 2000. I cannot find it anywhere- but googling 'how much has the Earth warmed since 2000', gives the following answer People also ask How much has the earth's temperature increased since 2000? The “pa...

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

True. I'd have more respect for the scientists if they posited that they don't know (because they don't) what is actually going on. The Climate is a terribly complex thing- too complex for any 'model' to predict- in fact it is chaotic. What we actually have observed is a sharp warming period- about ...

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

You're correct Barkers. The lunacy Genie has taken a firm hold and is resisting efforts to go back in its bottle. It's funny listening to the eco-loonies, all upset because they think we are all going to die- such is the extreme nature of the AGW CRISIS! Truth is, without the Climatologists and Mete...

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

So what's the number then?

What you quoted is the sort of waffle that is everywhere.

There hasn't been any increase in 'Global mean surface temperature' since 2000 (actually since a hot 1998) that I can find- despite CO2 emissions continuing to rise.

Re: Climate Crisis!!!!

I thought I'd try and find out how much the planet has warmed since 2000. I couldn't find an actual number, but perhaps someone on here has the info? Best I could find was a statement that 'warming since the turn of the Century is close to zero'. Can it be true? It's easy to find all sorts of alamis...

Re: When should pilots hang up their goggles?

They say there are two groups of pilots; Those who walk out to their a/c knowing it's going to be the last flight, and those who walk out not knowing it. I belong to the latter group- I plonked my jet down in Kazakhstan, went on leave and got fired due to Covid while in India. I think 60 is a good a...
