The world has warmed more slowly than had been predicted by computer models, which were “on the hot side” and overstated the impact of emissions on average temperature, research has found. Michael Grubb, the professor of international energy and climate change at University College London and one of the study’s authors, admitted that his previous prediction had been wrong. He stated during the climate summit in Paris in December 2015: “All the evidence from the past 15 years leads me to conclude that actually delivering 1.5°C is simply incompatible with democracy.” Speaking to The Times, he said: “When the facts change, I change my mind, as Keynes said.” —Ben Webster, The Times, 19 September 2017
To have the discrepancy between climate model predictions and reality acknowledged in Nature Geoscience is good. It has already resulted in a substantial debate about this most fundamental approach to assessing the impact of man-made climate change, demonstrating once again that ‘the science’ is definitely not settled. Assumptions made about important details of climate science that were accepted a decade ago are becoming increasingly frayed. Let us hope that a new era of scientific reality will replace the far-to-simple messages previously proclaimed to the public. – David Whitehouse, GWPF Observatory, 19 September 2017
A report published 3 years ago by the Global Warming Policy Foundation showed that the best observational evidence indicates our climate is considerably less sensitive to greenhouse gases than climate models are estimating. “The observational evidence strongly suggests that climate models display too much sensitivity to carbon dioxide concentrations and in almost all cases exaggerate the likely path of global warming,” says Nic Lewis. —Global Warming Policy Forum, 18 September 2017
Gary D. Cohn, the top White House economic adviser, told ministers from several major allies on Monday that the Trump administration was “unambiguous” about its plans to withdraw from the Paris agreement on climate change unless new terms were met. President Trump announced in a Rose Garden speech in June that the Paris agreement — under which nearly 200 nations pledged voluntary targets to cut planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions and to support poor countries grappling with rising global temperatures — was bad for America’s economy. He said the United States would withdraw from the agreement but left open the possibility that he might try to “renegotiate” the accord. —The New York Times, 18 September 2017
The BBC has reprimanded the presenter of Radio 4’s Inside Science after he called on his Twitter followers to write to their local MPs about the reappointment of Graham Stringer, a climate change skeptic, to a parliamentary committee. —Graham Ruddick, The Guardian, 18 September 2017

THE GREAT GOLD RUSH–The global warming/climate change era we’ve witnessed is no more than an 1840’s Gold Rush. Gore, Hansen, Suzuki, Mann, Strong, McKibben, Pachauri and many others claimed CO₂ would provide the gold.. Governments far and wide bought the CO₂ to riches story knowing that the wealthy modern industrial world pumps out gigatons of it. OK, man is the problem and carbon taxes will get the gold. Quickly seizing on the egocentric, climate model backed rhetoric, the governments began funding the Rush, buying as many climate scientists (a strange, poor group of neglected scribes) as they could find-sending them out to stake claims and promote the Rush. Soon others wanted the money and joined in; governors, senators, ex-smokers, media people and other communists. Every one with an agenda staked out a claim hoping for a share of the gold. Any peer could review.
With so many players things began to heat up; truth became a lie and lies became truth. Jets crisscrossed the world so the prophets of doom could shout warnings of coming catastrophe. EPA, NASA, NOAA, CIA, UN, IPCC, ex-presidents, ex-vice presidents, actors, lawyers, judges, weathermen, slick operators and fools all preached “Save the Planet!”
McIntyre, Watts, Bastardi and others revealed lies and challenged the Rush daily. Suddenly, a knight in brilliant, shining armor unfurled a scroll of letters proving a massive cover-up of lies and deceit were at the core of the rush. Numbers were empty lies, the claims staked out could not be found on any true map. Real data surfaced telling a true story. Gaiaphiles turned from their “faith”, saloons and dance halls were empty, tools were abandoned and turned to rust. Models that shone brightly in the digital halls, tarnished and crashed to the floor.
The vein of gold everyone believed to be endless was gone. Men and women struggled through the cold and drifted snow asking “Where did the corn go? Did they burn all of it?”
I like R.J.’s analogy between a Gold Rush and Green Greed. Except that gold had real value back then. Produce a valuable, tangible good and the claim -stakers were rewarded. Green profits are legislated fraud and come at someone’s expense.
Those idiots who say Nature bats last or were destroying the earth have probibly never ventured much past their own urban/suburban neighborhood and saw something that was not on the news or some liberal made earthday special real nature would surprise and shock these ignorant flatlanders
The planet doesn’t have a fever after all . Who knew ?
People like Al Gore couldn’t have spun such lies without
the “scientific evidence ” unless political organized promotional tools like the IPCC served it up . The IPCC was orchestrated to provide cover for the worlds biggest con job and governments made sure that grant money which most scientists rely on for a living
were conditional upon support for the outcome governments expected for payment .
When someone pays someone else to go steal cars they are both
criminally involved . No doubt there were some honest scientist
drawn into the scam and who’s work was filtered out but at the IPCC the final editors (many who were not scientist ) churned out the propaganda to give the big crooks the leverage to shake down the public . The people pulling the strings and orchestrating the fraud
are the main ones that have robbed tax payers of $Billions and like Enron crooks and other white collar crooks they should be in prison for life . A small number of scientist , actors and bought politicians continue to promote the scam .
The IPCC days are numbered if not gone because the ring masters are gone , hoping they could sell “the science is settled ” garbage
and move on executing the their business plan with cash thirsty governments along for the ride . More and more scientists with
a true belief in the scientific method and maintaining their own credibility are now able to speak .
The overblown hype about soaring planet temperatures is unwinding but the conmen who orchestrated it are still sitting in their mansions instead of the jail cell that is waiting for them . One or two whistle blowers and a data dump will be all it takes .
The IPCC is a criminal combination
and everyone connected to it
a co-conspirator
It should be destroyed and
its members prosecuted and punished.
