That's a headline from the Washington Post- and it is an obvious, blatant appeal to authority. I despise appeal to authority sooo much!
An appeal to authority is an argument from the fact that a person judged to be an authority affirms a proposition to the claim that the proposition is true.Appeals to authority are always deductively fallacious; even a legitimate authority speaking on his area of expertise may affirm a falsehood, so no testimony of any authority is guaranteed to be true.
Since we are all aware that 'authority' can be corrupted, tainted, influenced, bought and just plain mistaken we all know that any appeal to authority should always be questioned and validated to ones own satisfactionLet's talk about the fact that there has been and continues to be NO WARMING!The AGW pushers created an agenda and passed it off as science and it was wrong. Very wrong and that tells us all that YES there are many valid reason to question the climate science!
‘Ever since, climate scientists have been trying to explain why the world has seen a somewhat slower rate of warming in recent years — and publishing multiple papers on the topic.”
We haven’t had a slower rate of warming- We have had no discernable warming- Period!Even this hottest 2014 on record is total nonsense! “Nasa climate scientists: We said 2014 was the warmest year on record... but we're only 38% sure we were right “What the hell!
“The Nasa climate scientists who claimed 2014 set a new record for global warmth last night admitted they were only 38 per cent sure this was true.In a press release on Friday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) claimed its analysis of world temperatures showed ‘2014 was the warmest year on record’.The claim made headlines around the world, but yesterday it emerged that GISS’s analysis – based on readings from more than 3,000 measuring stations worldwide – is subject to a margin of error. Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all.
NASA admits that their data is subject to a margin of error that makes it far from certain that 2014 set a record at all! That didn't stop all the big oil corporate bankster war mongering media from jumping on board and spinning that fallacy!
"Yet the Nasa press release failed to mention this, as well as the fact that the alleged ‘record’ amounted to an increase over 2010, the previous ‘warmest year’, of just two-hundredths of a degree – or 0.02C. The margin of error is said by scientists to be approximately 0.1C – several times as much.”
So- 2014 the hottest year on record- Not bloody likely!That fact doesn't bother Michael Mann one single bit- He runs with the lie
“Our findings do support the notion that the pause is likely to end,” says Mann. “And perhaps 2014 does herald that at some level.” It was, after all, the hottest year on record.
It wasn't the hottest year on record. NASA is only 38 percent sure that that is an accurate assessment and even if that info was correct the difference is two- hundredths of a degree!Michael Mann is a spin doctor not a scientist, that much is obvious!Recall when the IPCC claimed the sun was not a factor in the earth’s climate? Yes, the IPCC told us the SUN- had nothing to do with climate- Then they decided the SUN could play a role in the climate... I roll my eyes. How or why did the IPCC choose to ignore the giver of light, warmth and life to this planet? Simple answer- The Sun or any natural factors were not in their mandate!Link #1:
“Until now, the IPCC has argued that the Sun is all-but-irrelevant to global warming, consistent with the IPCC’s very mandate, which dismisses the Sun as a major factor worthy of investigation”
“The aims of the IPCC are to assess scientific information relevant to:[6]
-
Human-induced climate change,
-
The impacts of human-induced climate change,
-
Options for adaptation and mitigation.
Once the IPCC excluded the sun, ocean currents, volcanoes etc., they and their scientific spin doctors were free to spin AGW lies to their hearts content and they did! Oh yes, they did! However the Earth herself has showed the IPCC and the climate scientists for the agenda pushers they areAnd suddenly the sun might just play a role (WP)
“Other researchers, meanwhile, have cited other forms of natural variability to help explain the so-called pause, such as an uptick in volcanic eruptions, whose atmospheric plumes can lead to a cooling effect by scattering sunlight away from the planet.”
Oh, my it might be cooling because volcanic activity is blocking out the sunlight that warms usPlenty of reasons in my frozen world to question what is and has obviously been cooked science to promote an agenda.
