THE BLOG

This blog entry is related to my blog entry “The Admiral And The Senator” and just goes to show that this is a method often used by an entity which wishes to push a certain idea regardless of the reality involved. To begin with I have some problems with their chosen parameters. The first graph which shows “Heat Wave Frequency” is a good indicator because the number of events in any analysis is important to determine how accurate the analysis will be. As most researchers are a

On April 1, 2014 Scientific American had an article by Michael E. Mann entitled “Why Global Warning Will Cross a Dangerous Threshold in 2036”. Using that article I would like to point out the biggest problem with the science of Global Warning. My first blog entry was about Fermi’s Elephant and the danger of having too many adjustable parameters in your work. That is not to say that you can’t have more than three parameters to ensure that you are sure of your response it just

In about 4.5 Billion years he sun will go nova and expand into a Red Giant and swallow the earth. There will be no life on Earth, at least no life as we know it long before this happens. About 750 million years ago the earth went through two Snowball Earth periods which were controlled by the interplay between the earth releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and then the development of life that used up those greenhouse gases faster than they were being produced forci

In my previous post I said I would start listing all of the predictions concerning the climate that I have found that turned out not to be true. So here is the beginning of my list and more will follow. James P Lodge Jr at Atmospheric Research predicted a new Ice Age by the 21st century. The Boston Globe Thursday, April 16, 1970. Dr. Paul R Ehrlich says that the oceans will be as dead as Lake Erie in less than a decade and America will be subject to water rationing by 1974 in

Lately in the news there has been a lot of discussion about the “right wing” members of the Q. They are portrayed as people who follow “conspiracy theories” mindlessly. There are discussions about how they can be deprogrammed and how this is often hurting their relationships with their significant others, family members, children, etc. To understand why these people are treated this way we need to look at what the “Q” is. Q is an anonymous entity on social media that drops hi

In this day and age it is way too easy to find the information to verify what you think you know. And it is so bad that even the scientists are producing information to be dispensed widely that uses deception or ignorance as the case may be to spread that information. The following is an example of a "scientist" totally butchering the scientific method either through ignorance or deliberate deception. About five years ago there was a meeting in the Senate on the debate over h

When, Why, and How Thinking back on why I ever got involved in researching climate change I think it inherently comes from my nature in that when people tell me something that is contrary to what I believe to be true I spend time finding out what I didn't know that lets me know if what they told me is actually true. If the matter is minor and I can't find an answer right away like within at most 1/2 hour of researching it I pretty much just ignore what was said and just make

There was a time when science was much simpler than today and by simpler I am not implying easier but rather fewer variables. This was only about 100 years ago when mankind was still trying to understand what the extent of the universe was, what chemically made life what life was, and what is the "stuff" that everything is made of? The people that were trying to solve these problems were people like Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger, Curie, Fermi, Dyson, Carson, Crick, Glaser, Jus
