Serious Adult Discussion From The University Of Ottawa

Why Arctic sea ice will vanish in 2013

Serious stuff: Adult discussion time…

My prediction above was based on understanding of the inter-related Artic/climatic system obtained through in-depth research conducted as part of my Ph.D. studies on abrupt climate change, and through my academic work as part-time professor in climatology/meteorology at the University of Ottawa.

    Slightly to one side , but I didn’t know where to mention it. I detect possibly a sea change in the MSM coverage of AGW . I’ve just noticed that Yahoo which has been notorious for it AGW bias has finally linked a sceptics point of view. In this case it’s up there right now on their home page with an article from the Wall Street Journal , written by Matt Ridley no less.

    The times are definitely a changin’.

    • Abraham’s is one of the biggest morons out there. Completely ignorant of the field he presents himself as an expert in. It’s amazing that the media let him write what he writes. On the other hand I suppose only people like him are prepared to go on the record saying such stupid things to begin with.

      Whoops

      I think I may have had that a tad the wrong way round.

      Doh……. idiot.

    I read his story at the link and I’ll be damned if I can find any sort of retraction. It’s almost as if he still thinks we have a summers melt to go through and it will still be all gone!
    Like most alarmists…delusional.

    We are losing to stupidity. There is no hope.

    lmao
    “from experts and climatologists (like me) ”

    If my understanding of the arctic was this wrong, I’d be downplaying my area of expertise!

    Or perhaps learning to keep my mouth shut.

  6. SMS says:

    A PHD today just isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Wasn’t there an article in the news about a young girl, 26, claiming to have a PHD in Mid East studies? She got McCain to quote her. Turns out she didn’t have the PHD. But why would anyone quote a PHD who is only 26? Not much of an experience base to draw from. Similarly with the Geraldo Rivera’s of the news world. He/they claim to know exactly what the mid-east is thinking just because they were there once. They stand their ground in an argument because they know their “one” visit trumps your “no” visit.

    Just because you visited Cape Canaveral once doesn’t make you a rocket scientist.

      She had claimed to be in a Masters/PhD program. So using her ‘expertise’ as a basis to attack Syria was a complete setup. The internet rode to the rescue.

  7. Steve Clough says:

    The irony of it all is that Beckwith will defend this piece of scientific crap during his PhD dissertation and then the academic committee will review it and he will receive his doctorate based on total BS!

  8. gator69 says:

    Beckwith also claims to believe that we have had a ‘stable’ climate for the past 11,000 years, only a neo-climatologist would believe such a thing. It’s time we make climatology a subset of the department of history, and cure these delusions.

  9. R2Dtoo says:

    This guy is an embarrassment to the Canadian climate community. And he is teaching this crap at Ottawa U?

  10. Jimbo says:

    His prediction was not the only bit of stupidity on display. And this nut is a part-time professor and PHD student. Sheesh!

    “For the record—I do not think that any sea ice will survive this summer. An event unprecedented in human history is today, this very moment, transpiring in the Arctic Ocean……….

    Humans have benefited greatly from a stable climate for the last 11,000 years

    Now read these:

    Abstract
    We therefore conclude that for a priod in the Early Holocene, probably for a millenium or more, the Arctic Ocean was free of sea ice at least for shorter periods in the summer. This may serve as an analogue to the predicted “greenhouse situation” expected to appear within our century.

    And
    Holocene mega-droughts & abrupt climate change
