Climate Craziness of the Week: Fish living near the equator will not thrive in the warmer oceans of the future

Global Wind excuse — monkey-modeling shows global warming theory is Still Not Wrong.
The backdown continues. Faced with the ongoing failure of their models, the search rolls on for any factor that helps “explain” why the official climate scientists are still right even though they got it so wrong. The new England et al paper endorses skeptics in so many ways. The world might warm by only 2.1 degrees this century, not 4c. (Skeptics were right — the models exaggerate). There has been and is a pause in warming which the 95%-certain-models didn’t predict. (The science wasn’t settled.) What the trade-winds giveth, they can also taketh away. If they “cause cooling” after 2000, then they probably “caused warming” before that. How much less important is CO2? Ultimately, newer models are less wrong if they include changes in wind speed, but they don’t know what drives the wind. It’s curve fitting with one more variable. As usual, the models still can’t predict the climate, but they can be adjusted post hoc with new factors to trim their overestimates back to within the errors bars of some observations. As I said nearly 2 years ago, Matthew England owes Nick Minchin an apology: Nick Minchin: ” there is a major problem with the warmist argument because […]Rating: 5.0/10 (1 vote cast)

Surprise! Prestigious Helmholtz Association Reopens Climate Science Debate: ‘Why Is Dispute Among Scientists So Fierce?’
Surprise! Prestigious Helmholtz Association Reopens Climate Science Debate: “Why Is Dispute Among Scientists So Fierce?”
If you’re in Berlin next month, here’s an event you’ll want to put in your calendar.
Dr. Peter Heller of Science Skeptical writes here that Germany’s Helmholtz Association is holding a podium discussion in Berlin on March 17, 2014. The title:
“What can we believe? The climate debate and its impacts”.
So even some prestigious German science research institutes are starting to second guess claims that climate science is settled and the debate is over. Moreover, skeptic views (the very backbone of scientific progress) are being given a serious platform for open discussion once again.
The podium discussion invitation reads (my emphasis):
The next segment in our Fokus@Helmholtz discussion series is titled: ‘What can we believe? The climate debate and its impacts’. At the end of March the second part of the IPCC Report will presented to the public in Yokohama, Japan. It will once again cast questions about climate change, its impacts on man and environment. International scientists are already discussing amid controversy and are jockeying for a mutual answers in the climate question. When scientists are struggling, how can citizens understand what is going on with our climate and act responsibly? Why is the dispute among the scientists so fierce? What’s driving the climate skeptics? And: Which questions can climate models answer at all? Many people are asking what should be believed: Is climate change not really as bad as first thought? What impact does man have on it and to what extent? What roles do political interests play when it comes to forecasts?
We warmly invite you to the fourth of the Fokus@Helmholtz series taking place Monday, 17 March 2014, at 7 p.m. (entrance starting at 6:30 p.m.) in the DKB Atrium (Taubenstraße 7, 10117 Berlin). Under the title: “What can we believe? The climate debate and its impacts“ we would like to mutually discuss with you and with representatives from business, advanced education and non-university research.
Please register.
The event series Fokus@Helmholtz brings research, politics and society together on a regular basis in order to discuss the controversial questions of the future. The Helmholtz Association and its invited guests would like to look beyond the horizon, to question options for action, and to provide food for thought.”
Wow! Hard to believe but the Helmholtz here is testing a return back …
Danish owner of ‘the first carbon-neutral hotel group in the world’ on a mission to save the world from catastrophic global warming
Danish owner of “the first carbon-neutral hotel group in the world” on a mission to save the world from catastrophic global warming
http://newnostradamusofthenorth.blogspot.com/2014/02/danish-owner-of-first-carbon-neutral.html
(image by Wikipedia)When it comes to self-promotion, the Danes are second to none. The Forbes interview with Kirsten Brøchner, the owner of “the first carbon-neutral hotel group in the world” (consisting of two small family run hotels) is a case in point.Ms. Brøchner is apparently on a mission to revolutionize the entire international business community in order to save the world from catastrophic human caused global warming: For instance, I wanted to set up a climate school for companies with training courses for employees, teaching them how to choose the green option at work and at home. One example is when boiling water for tea—only boiling the water needed, so energy is not wasted on boiling extra.Well, maybe it’s not so surprising that even the “green” Danish government agencies have told Brøchner that her “climate school” is not their cup of tea: Unfortunately, none of the many government agencies I asked for help were interested in supporting the idea.
