Anger over 'untrue' climate change claims

Scientists have responded furiously to claims about climate change made in a live BBC radio interview. Experts told BBC News that the assertions made by former Chancellor Nigel Lawson on Radio 4's Today programme were simply untrue.

Lord Lawson had claimed that global temperatures had "slightly declined" over the past 10 years. However, scientists working in the field said the records showed the complete opposite to be the case. BBC Radio 4's Today programme defended its decision to interview Lord Lawson on Thursday morning in a segment on climate change. The BBC argued that it had a duty to inform listeners about all sides of a debate. During the interview, Lord Lawson said that "official figures" showed that "during this past 10 years, if anything... average world temperature has slightly declined". But speaking in a follow-up discussion on Friday morning, Dr Peter Stott from the UK Met Office said the former Chancellor had got the facts wrong. "We know that 2016 was the warmest on record, over a degree warmer than late 19th Century levels, so this claim that we heard from Nigel Lawson that there's been cooling is simply not true," he told the BBC. His view was echoed by Prof Richard Betts from the University of Exeter.

"The official figures do not show that the global mean temperature 'has slightly declined'. In fact, they show the opposite - global mean temperature has increased during the past 10 years," he said in a statement.

"The last three years were warmer than the previous seven, and indeed were the warmest on record, and this year is also shaping up to be nearly as warm (probably not quite as warm as last year since the influence of the El Nino has passed, but still a very warm year)."

How many sets of “official figures” do they have?

And how difficult is the comparison of integers these days? Last I heard, such arithmetic was pretty straight forward.

NOTICE THE MISSING ‘SCIENCE’... Climate Science.

Just like anybody can call themselves an Astrologist, anybody can call themselves a Climate Scientist. The only difference... Astrologist take your money, then they tell you your the future. Climate Scientist tell you the future, then they take your money.

However, scientists Scientologists working in the field said the records showed the complete opposite to be the case.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

It only shows that now because NASA took the readings from one satellite and threw out all the temperatures claiming the satellite had ‘veered off course’ and they invented new numbers aNd presto- now there was warming the last 10 years- Had they not invented new numbers- there would have been no warming the last 10 years-

Climate change is simply a new pagan cult religion

Their ridiculous attempts to claim temperature increases and project when their gods will destroy the earth with fire are simply the modern day equivalent of arguing “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”

At the end of the day, these “scientists” will say just about anything to keep the funding flowing. Sadly, I think that is true with a lot of scientists.

However, scientists working in the field said the records showed...

Has the veracity of those 'records' been ascertained? Recall recent articles claim 'records' were altered in Australia. If they were altered there, why would we not suspect they were altered elsewhere?

There have been so many exposed attempts at manipulating climate data that the entire climate change proponents and data are under suspicion.

To summarize: We do not trust the climate change scientists or their manipulated data.

[Tenacious 1]

After the “adjusted” measurements of the instruments which combine to calculate the earth’s global temperature were calculated, it was determined that the earth was both cooler 200 years ago and that it is warmer over the last 10 years than was reported 2 years ago.

There! That run on sentence ought to clear some things up.

They don't. They plan to control the people, and this "global warming" assertion is just a tool to accomplish that goal.

Climate change is simply a new pagan cult religion

This. Not unlike astrology which had been disproven, discredited and discarded hundreds of years before hippy filth infested America. Then they repackaged it in an appealing and entertaining song, "This Is The Dawning Of The Age Of Aquarius."

Suddenly, astrology is back.

Astrology. Evolution. Climate Change. All branches of the same tree of foolishness.

you think they’re angry now, just wait until Pruitt’s RedTeam/BlueTeam public debate gets going ...

Lib scientists/politicians will advocate putting a thermostat on the Sun so it can be turned up or down as needed.

Anger over 'untrue' climate change claims

Let the ignorant fools seethe all they want in anger over the subject; manipulation of the data of the last 15 years is documented fact.

Until they acknowledge the nature and definition of science, they can do the Hillary screech all they want.

Notice the BIGGER missing 'science.'
Climate modeling...

[Beagle8U]

Go outside and stare at that big bright thing in the sky until you figure out that Gorebull warming is something liberals pulled out of their a$$ to control people.

Only Computer Science has “science” in its name. Unlike climate “science” real sciences don’t have to designate the selves as sciences.

These data are from Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama. He is generally considered a skeptic. They are today the only comprehensive data of the earth’s average temperature not generated by a climate model that bakes global warming into the numbers. (Sorry, but all other numbers being quoted are fake.)

Notice (1) “the pause” - from 2002 to 2015 there was no trend. (However, temperature was varied about an average slightly higher than 1979 to 1995.)

(2) Temperature rose from 2015 to 2016, and now is coming back down. The is an El Nino event, like the one shown around 1998-1999.

(3) It is reasonable to think the earth will re-stabilize at the level of the pause. But, let’s wait to see.

In any case, this much is clear:

The earth has been warming since the end of the Little Ice Age.

It is probable that we have been having something to do with this during the past 50 years.

But, there is no sign of acceleration - not in temperature, nor in other indicators. The amplification of the slight direct effect of CO2 is not showing itself. Concern and continued monitoring is called for. Climate alarmism is not.
