THIS WEEK:
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP)
Scope: Last week, TWTW focused on the CLINTEL lecture William Happer gave in Amsterdam. The lecture is important because it presents evidence that the total approach used by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its followers including many US science institutions is wrong if the goal is to calculate the influence of increasing greenhouse gases on temperatures. If the goal is frightening the public to raise money, then the approach may be successful.
This TWTW will address the issue somewhat differently. In a podcast, Meteorologist Cliff Mass explains why he thinks that the climate models with non-linear equations can be used to forecast the future climate even though such models cannot successfully forecast the weather two weeks into the future. The views of Mass deserve consideration because he has been critical of many of the tricks used by the climate establishment such as “Fractional Attribution of Risk” (FAR), also called “Optimal Fingerprinting.
