Climate scientists have been forced to revise their climate models due to the unexpected refusal of the climate to warm since the late 1990s.

The uncertainty of science: Climate scientists have been forced to revise their climate models due to the unexpected refusal of the climate to warm since the late 1990s.

In related news, the certainty of some ignorant politicians: A Democratic senator used the Oklahoma tornado to rant against Republicans who have expressed skepticism about human-caused global warming. Update: Senator Barbara Boxer (D-California) followed up by blaming the tornado on global warming while pushing her carbon tax bill today.

The first story attempts very hard to keep the narrative alive that we are all going to die from global warming, even though the gist is that the warming has stopped and all the predictions of global warming scientists have been wrong. The second story illustrates the typically close-minded attitude of liberal politicians. The senator not only refuses to recognize the new data showing that warming has stopped, he has accepted the global warming narrative completely, including the entirely false claim that extreme weather is rising because of global warming.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

  • I found reading the BBC article produced cognitive dissonance. They say the recent cooling suggests a lower rate of warming than previously predicted would occur, but then keep to their dogma of saying warming will occur and it is a threat. What happens if the next decade shows cooling like the last decade? I suspect they’ll be revising their projections downward to the point where no global warming is demonstrated.

    Global warming based on fossil fuels talks all around the causes of warming and climate change but only assigns an extremely small of warming due to changes in the Sun.

    To most critical thinkers, it’s obvious computer weather forecasts are unreliable beyond 2-4 days, and downright laughable beyond a week or two. Why should we trusts these human designed climate models when they are not only flawed, but designed to produce a political outcome. Scientific observation, not computer predictions cooked up by biased scientists are what is needed. Sadly, this science has taken a credibility hit, rather than improve.
