And here I though that algebra referred to a certain type of lingerie with math equation printed on it! :)

I was quite amused when she with confidence proclaimed “Climate models are based in science!”. As if to say, do not dare argue with me. As I recalled the massive controversy that surrounds climate modeling and the failure of all of their collective accuracy that I have read about right here every day.

Funny, yes inches, I would have fallen out of bed if she claimed 12 + feet.

I said, I played chess and was too distracted by a different kind of “Bra” (and it was not algebra) in my youth :)

Cotour: Hayhoe is a full-fledged junk scientists. See this collection of posts from Tony Heller, outlining her many, many, many absurd predictions of disaster, none of which have come true.

Also, your math is wrong again. (Did you fail algebra? [joke relating to another thread]). 0.15 inches for 83 years equals 12.45 inches, not feet.

As I remember this is what she said related to climate models. “Climate models are based in science.” (Her point was therefore what the models say are going to happen will in fact happen as the models predict.)

She also stated that the sea level will rise by “several feet” by the end of the century. ( As I remember a yearly predicted rise of I think it was .15 inches per year would result in 83 remaining years X .15 inches = 12.45 ft. est.)

Q: How many of the climate models in the past 20 years have been accurate in 1. Predicting global temperature increase and 2. sea level rise ?

Piltdown Man was hard to disprove, too, and there was far less emotional commitment to it.

Tabby’s star is dimming again, confirmed by two ground telescopes:

I thought there was something wrong with Kepler’s data, maybe a software bug or a joker who changed the data in the archive. But seems to be weird for real. No one has any good suggestions and I’ve even ran out of bad ones. The star is a normal mainstream star more Sun like than most stars. Out of the 150,000 stars Kepler look at, one could’ve been involved in some freak accident during the last billion years. There has to be some unlikely things out there.

No Doppler shift observed, so it is not wobbling by some planets’s gravity. So rather than transits, it looks more like an internal variability. The dips aren’t formed like transits with flat bottoms anyway. We should be glad that the Sun isn’t behaving like this.

Sweden is of course extreme, here the climate doomsday is the only thing all politicians, bureaucrats, journalists and school teachers talk about. All real problems in society are completely ignored, since a couple of decades everything is always only about the climate doomsday. Industry, agriculture, transports, energy are all severely punished by massive regulation. Every time a factory or a port is closed down all media and all politicians are cheering their success. All city councils focus on sabotaging car traffic with 18 mph speed limits and reconstructing streets to bicycle lanes. The landscape is littered by ugly wind mills (although all electricity comes from nuke and hydro with zero CO2 emissions) and people are freezing indoors at winter because heating is thought to be something very evil. Ditches are being dug as preparation for the deluge, although the land is still raising itself since the ice of the ice age withdrew.

So it is very hard for everyone to confess that they’ve all been fooled by the climate doomsday fraud and have focused everything in their life on it. CO2 emissions have only had positive effects on wild life since the world is greening thanks to it, and farm land is shrinking thanks to higher productivity. No temperature increase at all for 20 years and growing ice caps and leading climate scientists like Santers now saying that there is no global warming because their models have sever errors in them. People try to ignore that, they are mentally addicted of believing in the climate doomsday no matter what. Politicians like it because they are too incompetent to do anything about any real problems in society and everyone only being focused only on this fraud kind of hides that.
