AGW is already falsified

The global atmospheric warming pause, going on 18 years now, together with the lack of sea level rise acceleration, has already falsified the AGW hypothesis.

There are dozens of explanations

"The Conversation" claim contradicted by BoM press release

In a Conversation article about Jennifer Marohasy's claim of temp fudging at Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) (1,2,3) authors Lisa Alexander and Andy Pitman claim that BoM's homogenisation adjustments are to reduce the extremes of Australia's temperature trend. 

 

Exactly what "reduce the extreme temp trends" means is not 100% clear, but I assume it means that the slight increase in temp from 1910 to 2014 is lessened post-homogenisation.

Cooling is natural; warming is AGW

Those familiar with AGW theory will know that since industrial times, all warming is caused by CO2, while all cooling is natural. There's a paper to that effect described on WattUpWithThat explaining that the current pause in warming is, of course, all natural and merely masks the AGW warming that would otherwise occur.

Climate Institute's curious 2014 online survey

 

The Climate Institute of Australia's new glossy brochure is based on an online survey of 1,145 Australians. These 1,145 participants were selected by invitation by email and/or by selecting the survey from a list provided (and tailored) on the user's home page (example below). 

An AGW believer's clumsy attempt to mislead

An AGW believer made a deceptive, outdated post on the Ron Paul forum (here) and has linked to it on a recent comment here, on Harold Ambler's recent post:

Dog bites man; Warmist makes wrong claim

In another day of dog-bites-man news, a warmist makes a wrong claim. On this webpage:

..about a new postage stamp from the US post office. An Anthony Watts article is linked to:

And user "Sherry" makes the following comment (plus my reply). I took a screen shot in case she removes it for sheer embarrassment:

Arctic death spiral 2: return of the sea ice

My latest tweet and graph regarding Andy Lee Robinson -- the "Arctic death spiral" guy (website). Sometimes so-called death spirals come back. I should write a song as a musical rebuttal to his song entitled Arctic Death Spiral.

 

Mine will be called: Arctic ice: the return. But the horror of such an Arctic sea ice return movie could be considered cruelty to warmists.

How to spin global sea ice gain into a decline

 

How do you downplay the Antarctic sea ice gain and exaggerate the Arctic sea ice loss? Easy: compare the (change in) summer Arctic sea ice extent to the (change in) winter Antarctic ice extent, so that you're not comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges.

 

Here is a tweet from Climate Reality:

 

 

You can see it's interpreted by their followers that the Arctic has lost 6 times as much sea ice as the Antarctic has gained. 

Oh dear! Clima-tastrophe not working out

Well this isn't going according to script for the clima-tastrophists. Why isn't Mother Gaia playing ball?

 

They said drought would increase. Tim Flannery said even the rain that falls would be absorbed into the ground and not make it to the dams. Truth is: drought is no worse, in fact it is better:

Bogus Reentry Vehicles (Video part 1 of 2)

The first half of my expose on the faking of all manned space travel.

 

The description from the video:

 

Part 1 concerns the International Space Station hoax. Part 2 concerns details of the reentry vehicles and how they would burn up on atmospheric entry. I'll put link to part 2 here when it's done.

Why Tyndall's experiment does not prove the greenhouse effect

Jump to: The experiment to prove the greenhouse effect

The number one experiment quoted as proof of the greenhouse effect is Tyndall's experiment.  Specifically the absorption experiment described in his 1861 Bakerian lecture to the British Royal Society.^[1]

In Tyndall's experiment various gases are introduced into the gas observation chamber and it is noted that some gases ("greenhouse gases") absorb more "calorific rays" (infrared) than others. This absorption is referred to as "proof of a greenhouse effect".

It was the result of several months work on his part. But in fact Tyndall's experiment shows nothing more than that EMR from a warmer object is absorbed by a colder one. Such absorption is not proof of a greenhouse effect.

In order for Tyndall's experiment to prove the greenhouse effect it would have been necessary to measure a gain in overall heat in the objects of the experiment, particularly in the emitting and absorbing objects.  But this did not happen in the experiment, could not have happened, and was not even attempted to be measured.

Well this is a new one. I've had my comments removed from the Guardian plenty of times before, but you can still see the stub. Here's an example:

More NOAA trickery in US Feb 2014 temps?

Following my post from a few weeks ago about January temperature anomalies, Harold Ambler notices a similar strange thing on his website: http://talkingabouttheweather.wordpress.com, about February 2014 temperatures in the United States. He states:

 

"As the map above shows, NOAA seems to have struggled in creating a temperature map that accurately conveys what New Englanders recently experienced"
