Real Climate Science

Michael Mann and his friends seem to be getting increasingly desperate with their childish behavior since the Climate Movie came out.

“Climate Stability: With carbon emissions eliminated, the Earth’s climate would stabilize over time. Extreme weather events would become less frequent, and vulnerable ecosystems would have a chance to recover.”

Michael Mann has me blocked, but is using someone engaged in identity theft to slander other people and misrepresent my views.  This is not how a legitimate scientist would behave.

Since Climate The Movie was released, the personal attacks I’m receiving have become even sillier than they used to be.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

– Upton Sinclair

Mark Serreze from NSIDC responds to Michael Mann’s scurrilous accusations, with even more scurrilous accusations.

“I’ve dealt with him before.”

He has dealt with me before.  In 2008, Mark Serreze predicted an ice-free North Pole that summer.

His prediction prompted me to write my first article about climate. “Arctic ice refuses to melt as ordered”

His prediction didn’t fare well, with lots of ice around the North Pole on the minimum date of September 9, 2008.

He did however inspire British swimmer Lewis Pugh to try to kayak to the North Pole.

“This year, for the first time, scientists predict that the North Pole could briefly be ice free and that has inspired Mr Pugh to try to find a way through.”

Needless to say, Pugh didn’t make it very far.

Mark Serreze also predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2030.

Since then, there has been no trend in the minimum, mean or maximum extent.

Mark and his friends have no clue what they are talking about, which is why they rely on insults rather than scientific debate.

Utterly absurd claims by politicians and the press are driving energy policy.

Wind and solar are producing 4% of UK electricity today.  Boris Johnson said UK homes would be 100% wind powered by 2030.
