Real Climate Science

“Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts.”
— Richard Feynman

Building back better in France.

“French President Emmanuel Macron listens to explanations as he visits the STMicroelectronics (STM) company in Crolles, southeastern France, Tuesday July 12, 2022.”

Macron urges French to turn off lights and brace for Russian gas cut

Not quite as convincing as Michael Dukakis in 1988.

In 1998 I managed a project for ST Microelectronics and visited their Meylan site, a few km away from Crolles. Grenoble is famous for pizza and Jaune Claude Killy winning all three Olympic skiing events in 1968.

During the winters of 1988-1996, winds blew a lot of thick ice out of the Arctic Basin

(Reuters) – The multiyear ice covering the Arctic Ocean has effectively vanished, a startling development that will make it easier to open up polar} shipping routes, an Arctic expert said on Thursday.

Vast sheets of impenetrable multiyear ice, which can reach up to 80 meters (260 feet) thick, have for centuries blocked the path of ships seeking a quick short cut through the fabled Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific.”

Multiyear Arctic ice is effectively gone: expert | Reuters

New York Times 1958

“Some scientists estimate that the polar ice pack is 40 per cent thinner and 12 per cent less in area than it was a half-century ago, and that even within the lifetime of our children the Arctic Ocean may open, enabling ships to sail over the North Pole, as the submarines ‘Nautilus and Skate recently sailed under it. A ship bound from New York to Tokyo would save 2,500 miles by turning left outside the Nar- rows and sailing past Greenland in- stead of through the Panama Canal.

Although the idea that a solid ice sheet covers the central Arctic has lingered stubbornly in the popular fancy, the northern cap of ice worn by our planet is actually a thin crust— on the whole, only about seven feet thick—over an ocean two miles deep in places.”

Someone posted this comment on my most recent video.

“Got into an argument with a person about climate change today….he said for every Tony Heller he has 100 scientists that say the opposite….I told him I believe in quality not quantity….thank you for your high quality information tony.”

My observation is the climate scam is being promoted in academia by a very small group, like Michael Mann and Katharine Hayhoe who are quoted over and over again.  If you get in a discussion like this, I suggest asking the other person to name their “hundred scientists.”  They will be lucky to name two of them.

When the publication  “100 authors against Einstein” was published he responded :

“”to defeat relativity one did not need the word of 100 scientists, just one fact.”

“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.”

– Galileo Galilei

“Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, “Is it reasonable?””

– Richard P. Feynman

Michael Crichton said :

“the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.”

I’ve been trying to find a climate scientist who is willing to debate me live.  So far none of Barack Obama’s 97% of (millions of) scientists have been willing to do that.

July 13 Arctic sea ice extent is almost identical to the same date in 1995.

1995                     2022

The 1990 and 1995 IPCC reports showed no ice loss from 1972-1995, but the 1995 IPCC report massively altered the data to show a decline.

“The American Navy Joint Ice Center has produced weekly charts which have been digitised by NOAA …..  Since about 1976 the areal extent of sea-ice in the Northern Hemisphere has varied about a constant climatological level but in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less.

“DETROIT, July 13—(AP)—Michigan, sweltering in a heat wave more prolonged than any in its history, counted 365 deaths tonight attributed directly or indirectly to the six-day siege of 100- degree weather.

In the Detroit area 108 deaths were reported in a 14-hour period, 23 of them at Eloise County hospital as the mercury rose to 101 degrees, Out-state the highest mark reported was at Saginaw, where a reading of 111 degrees at 3:40 PM established a new all-time high for the state. The previous record was 110 at Bay City, July 2, 1911”
