In other words, after perhaps billions of dollars invested in climate research over more than three decades, our ability to answer the most important question in climate has not improved a single bit!’

In fact, it is usually the opposite that takes place, the disagreement increases. In other words, the above behavior reflects the fact that the IPCC and alike are captives of a wrong conception. This divergence between theory and data exactly describes the the situation over the past several years with the lack of temperature increase…under legitimate scientific behavior, the upper bound would have been decreased in parallel, but not in this case. This is because it would require abandoning the basic premise of a large sensitivity. Since the data requires a low climate sensitivity and since alarmism requires a large climate sensitivity, the “likely range” of climate sensitivity will remain large until the global warming scare will abate.’ — ‘A second important aspect of the present report is that the IPCC is still doing its best to avoid the evidence that the sun has a large effect on climate.

The IPCC AR5 – First impressions
The IPCC summary for policy makers is out, and as I started writing these lines so was the last draft of the main report. Of course, it will take a while to digest the 2200 pages of the full report (it has a lot of starch!). Until I do, here are my first impressions from having read the summary and having skimmed the full scientific report.
My main conclusion is that this report is to a large extent a rehash of the AR4 report. However, given the lack of any new evidence pointing to humans and the increasing discrepancy between the alarmist models and predictions, the IPCC authors are bluntly making more ridiculous claims as they attempt to fill in the gap between their models and reality.
One of the statements which wonderfully exemplifies the absurdity of the new report is this paragraph discussing the climate sensitivity in the summary for policy makers. They write:
“The equilibrium climate sensitivity quantifies the response of the climate system to constant radiative forcing on multi-century time scales. It is defined as the change in global mean surface temperature at equilibrium that is caused by a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration. Equilibrium climate sensitivity is likely in the range 1.5°C to 4.5°C (high confidence), extremely unlikely less than 1°C (high confidence), and very unlikely greater than 6°C (medium confidence) 16. The lower temperature limit of the assessed likely range is thus less than the 2°C in the AR4, but the upper limit is the same. This assessment reflects improved understanding, the extended temperature record in the atmosphere and ocean, and new estimates of radiative forcing.”
Now, have you noticed something strange? According to the AR4 report, the “likely equilibrium range of sensitivity” was 2.0 to 4.5°C per CO2 doubling. According to the newer AR5 report, it is 1.5 to 4.5°C, i.e., the likely equilibrium sensitivity is now known less accurately. But they write: “This assessment reflects improved understanding”. How ridiculous can you be?
More seriously, let me put this in perspective with the most boring graph I have ever plotted in my life. Below is the likely range of climate sensitivity as a function of time. As you can see, with the exception of AR4 with its slightly smaller range mentioned above,

…BBC News: ‘Hard drugs found’ on Greenpeace ship seized by Russia
BBC News – ‘Hard drugs found’ on Greenpeace ship seized by Russia
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24461644
Excerpt: Russian investigators say they have found what appear to be hard drugs on board the Greenpeace ship seized during a protest in the Arctic last month.
“During a search of the ship, drugs (apparently poppy straw and morphine) were confiscated,” Russia’s Investigative Committee said.
Poppy straw, or raw opium, can be used to produce morphine or heroin.
Greenpeace said in a statement that any suggestion of illegal drugs being found was a “smear”.
“We can only assume the Russian authorities are referring to the medical supplies that our ships are obliged to carry under maritime law,” it said.…
Al Gore effect to hit International Snow Science Workshop in the French Alps

Al Gore effect to hit International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) in Grenoble and Chamonix
Gepost door Hajo Smit On oktober 9, 2013 3:01 pm In Alarmisme, English 1 reactie
The annual International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) is usually held in the US or Canada but this year chose Grenoble and Chamonix in the French Alps as its venue. The conference that is held this week hosts 600 scientists and mountain experts who have emitted tons of CO2 arriving from all over the world. Already on their first day of gathering the French press agency AFP released this alarmist message to the press! Lo and behold the Al Gore effect is to strike them thursday and friday!
70-80% less snow at 1.800m in 2100 and a 90% reduction of avalanche warnings. At 3000m 20-30% less in the northern Alps but 50-60% in the Southern French Alps. Host Gérald Giraud, scientist at the Centre d’études de la Neige (Météo France/CNRS) in Grenoble adds: “We have to wait till 2030-2040 to get rid of the interannual climate variabilty.”
Well the “scientists” and “experts” gathered in Grenoble and Chamonix need not wait that long. Tomorrow the Al Gore effect is about to hit them very hard. Even the Vosges and the Jura might become snow covered. In the Alps the snow level will sink to 1000m temporarily but over the weekend above 1500m snowheights of 30cm might remain. Ski areas are still closed of course except the summer skiing stations like Tignes and Les 2 Alpes.
It’s like David Viner never made a sucker out of himself by declaring back in 2000 (cowardly after a winter with no snow in UK) that kids in UK would not know what snow is anymore within a few years (here he said it). Boy was he right! Right now a generation is growing up that doesn’t even know what global warming is, since it stopped in 1998. Kids born that year are 15 today! (H/T Wintersportweerman.nl).
