Climate change predictions — what went wrong?
September 25, 2017
 
By Paul Homewood

 

 

A good analysis in the Times, following up last week’s story about how climate models had grossly overestimated global warming:
 

As egg-on-face moments go, it was a double-yolker. Last week a group of climate scientists published a paper that admitted the estimates of global warming used for years to torture the world’s conscience and justify massive spending on non-carbon energy sources were, er, wrong.

 

Being wrong is not a criminal offence, especially in science, where in the long run almost everything turns out to be wrong, but the global warmers have adopted such a high-and-mighty tone to anyone who questions them that for sceptics this was pure joy.

The world may still be doomed, but it is not quite as doomed as the climatologists have repeatedly told us.

"Climate change predictions — what went wrong?"

Psuedo-scientists with social justice on their minds got a small taste o' lyin', and just worked it up to be bigger, and bigger, and... bigger.

To think back to Abe Lincoln's famous quote, they got the idea into their heads that they could fool all of the people all of the time...

Because CO2 is not the magical fairy pixie dust the climate hysterics claim it to be?

They went for the Big Lie theory.

ABSOLUTELY!!!  Plant life, which enriches our oxygen supply, loves the stuff!

Because CO2 is not the magical fairy pixie dust the climate hysterics claim it to be?

And, because the climate has so far failed to accommodate their predictions?

What went wrong?  Simple - money.
Some people wanted to push their political agenda.  So they put up a whole bunch of money to pay for scientists to sell out their honor by publishing papers that agreed with that position.
