Not all scientists are panicking about global warming — one of them finds the alarmism “hilarious.”
A top climate scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology lambasted a new report by the UN’s climate bureaucracy that blamed mankind as the main cause of global warming and whitewashed the fact that there has been a hiatus in warming for the last 15 years.
“I think that the latest IPCC report has truly sunk to level of hilarious incoherence,” Dr. Richard Lindzen told Climate Depot, a global warming skeptic news site. “They are proclaiming increased confidence in their models as the discrepancies between their models and observations increase.”
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claimed it was 95 percent sure that global warming was mainly driven by human burning of fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. The I.P.C.C. also glossed over the fact that the Earth has not warmed in the past 15 years, arguing that the heat was absorbed by the ocean.
“Their excuse for the absence of warming over the past 17 years is that the heat is hiding in the deep ocean,” Lindzen added. “However, this is simply an admission that the models fail to simulate the exchanges of heat between the surface layers and the deeper oceans.”
“However, it is this heat transport that plays a major role in natural internal variability of climate, and the IPCC assertions that observed warming can be attributed to man depend crucially on their assertion that these models accurately simulate natural internal variability,” Lindzen continued. “Thus, they now, somewhat obscurely, admit that their crucial assumption was totally unjustified.”
Scientists have been struggling to explain the 15-year hiatus in global warming....

d’oh
actually heat rises... I think
“5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?”
We need 6. Congresscritters are millions of times more worthjless than less-than-specs.
Study Question: What is the minimum cost of eliminating, crushing, and removing all knowledge of congresscritters?
Hey, what the heck, they get to make up science, I get to make up science.
They are not sure because they are only ignorant politicians, but they do know they can look like they are doing something if they just tax us more.
There’s this game too: The summary is a political document that has almost nothing to do with the scientific report (released tomorrow). The politicians talk about the summary, the scientists talk about the science report but they are talking about two very different things.

The UN-scientists (aka: unscientists) should be forced to read their less than worthless dissertations. In their case, PhD means piled higher and deeper.
“Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?”
By taxing Americans and giving that money to the DNC. Was this a trick question?
“Two common answers come to mind. Feel free to pick either.
1) Global warming causes that
2) Its Bush’s fault”
You sir are a racist.
The HuffPo has a piece on the IPCC report praising their efforts. One of my comments was to paraphrase, “Why is climate change only affecting America?”
I was flagged.
Sounds to me like BI is behind him.
Well so far, these highly-funded recipients of grants to “study” GW have been laughing all the way to the bank ...
Its not about controlling the sun, or the earth, or the temperature.
Its about controlling the people.
How is the heat getting into the ocean?
The 'climate deniers' are scaring the heat. That's why it's hiding in the oceans, silly.
Karl Rove's weather machine.
Now that's where you'd be wrong, Mr. Smartypants!
The overwhelming consensus of scientists proves that all that extra heat from your SUV dived into the oceans, and is scared to come out because you continue to disbelieve!!!
It's people like you who are killing Mother Gaia!!!!!
No coincidence that the two biggest myths in our modern time...Man Made Global Warming, and, Free Trade....are pushed by many of the same folks...
Starting with Al Gore....
I think just heating up the top layer from air temperature and sunlight, and currents push the warm water into deeper layers. How this is actually supposed to work, since heat rises and will simply rise back up to the surface, I don't really know.
