So there you have it, a perfect example of how a highly respected climate scientist who doesn’t agree with the establishment view is rubbished. Of course the usual suspects will thank and go along with Siderite’s comment because it suits their agenda to do so. For the sake of anyone with a more balanced view who might be reading this, first, I would recommend they watch the video if they haven’t already done so; and, second, I would ask them to consider that many climate scientists — even those in the IPCC — do not agree with the claims being made by the establishment around the ‘catastrophe’ we are supposed to be facing. Plenty of scientists daren’t speak out about this because they do fear losing their jobs, as has happened with a number of high profile cases that shame the academic world.
Whatever Siderite might claim, Christy’s views are not seen as bunkum except by those whose agenda they fail to agree with. As Christy says, the data simply doesn’t support the claims being made. If you look at this data — and it’s publicly available — you’ll see that Christy is correct.
What Siderite also fails to understand, or at least to point out, is that all he’s describing is a theory. What he is saying is correct EXCEPT that you HAVE to use models to determine the SIZE of the impact of ‘man-made CO2’ on climate change (I’ve used caps for emphasis, nothing more). Nor is this just about future predictions. It’s just as true for the here and now. Why? Because there is no such things as a ‘climate change measuring device’.
Put simply, the only way you can ‘measure’ the size of the impact of CO2 on climate change is to feed a lot of very complex data into a computer and model it. That would be fine if climate was fully understood, which it isn’t, and if all the models agreed with each other, which they don’t. I keep banging on about confidence intervals for the simple reason that no results from any model should ever be provided without them, yet they never are for climate models. Why, any reasonable person would ask, might that be?
