Sebastian Lüning and Fritz Vahrenholt of Die kalte Sonne site bring up an article that recently appeared in the German economics magazine: Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten (German Business News).
Logo of German economics magazine, who recently published a critical article on climate science here.
Media outlets in Europe are beginning to question all the global warming claims, especially as Central Europe reels from one of its coldest springs in living memory.
The article is dubbed: “Scientists have embarrassed themselves: climate change is not happening.”
The introduction of the report tells us:
Most climate models have falsely predicted global warming: Despite growing emissions of so-called greenhouse gases, temperatures are not rising. Snow in the winter is however a side-effect of global warming, climate scientists say.”
Have you noticed how it is getting increasingly difficult not to bust out laughing whenever “climate scientists” make statements? Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten continues:
Richard Tol of the University of Sussex said in Oslo that his impression is that temperatures have fallen over the last five years, Reuters reported.”
Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten then writes how scientists have been scrambling to explain the unexpected stop in warming, citing oceans eating up the heat or aerosols blocking out sunlight. But all this sounds rather unconvincing to Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten, which adds the following subtitle in the article:
Vertrauen in die Klima-Forschung erschüttert
Which in English translates to: “Trust in climate science has been shaken“. The online business magazine tells us:
The UN IPCC had to correct a report from the year 2007. The report had exaggerated the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, and even claimed that they could disappear completely by 2035.”
See how we’re all laughing again. So entertaining climate science has become.
So… IPCC was completely wrong in past predictions, so why should we believe further predictions of more dire AGW calamity?
And I am sorry but how can they look at themselves in the mirror when they claim that WARMING temperatures (even though temps have been COOLING since 1997-98) are foing to cause more snow in winter? Really?
So these asshats really must think we are too stupid to assess the reality around us.
I still believe that all of these warmist who are spending tax payer dollars should be fined for being wrong. There needs to be consequences for yelling fire in a crowded theater. Maybe not fined, but banned from future consideration for government grants.
Unfortunately, major journals including SCIENCE, NATURE, and TECHNOLOGY REVIEW are still pushing the global warming line. This is going to reflect, not only on climatologists, but on science and scientists generally.
Global Warming does not mean it is no longer cold—or even colder—in some areas of the world. It means that on average temperature of the planet is suffering a warming trend.
The NYTimes (of all places!) had an excellent article about fraud within the scientific research community.
Whole article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/magazine/diederik-stapels-audacious-academic-fraud.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0
A few nuggets:
One researcher who committed fraud in 55 different research papers was singled out as an example:
Wow!
Lying as an addictive behavior!
And he wasn’t happy with lying himself.
He encouraged 10 doctorate students to lie in THEIR papers as well!
And the rest of his committee fellows let those lies slide!
Notice this is NOT specifically about climate, but about research in general.
Climate science is just one great example of dishonesty in research.
For an fairly recent example of REAL, hard science recall the way NASA figured out what happened to the Challenger after it exploded.
