Moron Challenge Part II

  • The climate always changes
  • The climate is currently changing
  • Hansen predicted that CO2 would radically change the climate

Therefore the logic conclusions are (pick one or more from below)

  • Hansen was right
  • The climate always changes
  • Every time a butterfly flaps its wings, the climate changes
  • Climatologists have demonstrated almost no skill at understanding or predicting past or present changes in the climate

    leave out the “almost”

    #3 is the correct answer!
    Reasonable weather conditions in West Africa cause an excess of Butterflies to emerge from their cocoons and flap their wings to start the Hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. The Butterfly population in Asia forces the storms towards the West Coast of the Americas and the ones in Canada are the leading cause of the storms in Northern Europe and the UK.
    It is really the Butterflies that control the direction and speed of the Jet Streams. The birds chasing the Butterflies cause the turbulence and changes in wind speed.

    The Globe cooled 0.56 Degree Celsius in only four days
    Pretty much all of 20th century global warming may have been erased within 4 days – the same time that Apollo 11 needed to get to the Moon, as correctly predicted by Jules Verne.

    Now who was wrong again?

    Not much of a challenge if none of the morons turn up to compete.

    My ribs Steve!! please stop

  6. Bruce says:

    The ‘almost’ is a problem for me. Here’s Dr Pielke Snr from a couple days ago:

    “Indeed, I would go further to state that ALL seasonal and longer time scale model predictions have failed to skillfully predict these extreme cold events.”

    Ouch!

    Sounds like the Met Office should give their shiny supercomputer a holiday and go back to their laptops like Piers.

    “Armed only with a laptop, huge quantities of publicly available data and a first-class degree in astrophysics, he gets it right again and again.”

  7. Climatologists have demonstrated almost no skill at understanding or predicting past or present changes in the climate—is the winner. You didn’t have a choice that said James Hansen has loose screws and should be released from NASA so he can stop ruining its reputation.

    Oh I don’t know, it is so difficult to pick a winner from all the previous 11 comments let alone the original post.

    Ok, I give up, lets call it a tie.

  9. Andy Weiss says:

    Exterminate those damn butterflies!

    Don’t forget HadCRUT data is under supervision of Met O, so the final 2010 tally won’t be over until Met O completes their second set of books.
