Real Climate Science

Not my kid …….

I coach one of my kid’s soccer teams. The league won’t let me referee his games though. They have this bizarre theory that I might not be objective. It isn’t that they consider me to be dishonest, but rather that they think I might suffer from confirmation bias. I might preferentially look for things which suit my agenda.

Hansen plays the role of hockey team head coach, head cheerleader, head referee, head scorekeeper, team captain, prosecutor, judge and jury.

For many years, Michael Mann appeared more than happy to be a key player in influencing government “climate policy.” He has changed his tune.

Stating that as a scientist, he should, in theory, have no stake in the elections at all, but based on statements that he cited in a recent Washington Post editorial, he essentially has no choice but to fight for his ability to continue his work without harassment. Mann, who is perhaps best known as the originator of the hockey stick graph that Al Gore made famous, described specific threats made against him and other climate scientists by two Congressmen and one state Attorney General should the Republicans prevail in November. Mann was implicated in the so-called “Climategate scandal” as the result of a number of questionable emails emanating from Britain’s East Anglia University

I personally would prefer to see Congress legislate gravity rather than the climate. They could end obesity and have exactly the same probability of success.

“We see a tipping point occurring right before our eyes,” Hansen told the AP before the luncheon. “The Arctic is the first tipping point and it’s occurring exactly the way we said it would.”

Hansen, echoing work by other scientists, said that in five to 10 years, the Arctic will be free of sea ice in the summer.

Arctic summers ice-free ‘by 2013’

Professor Wieslaw Maslowski told an American Geophysical Union meeting that previous projections had underestimated the processes now driving ice loss….”In the end, it will just melt away quite suddenly.

“I think Wieslaw is probably a little aggressive in his projections, simply because the luck of the draw means natural variability can kick in to give you a few years in which the ice loss is a little less than you’ve had in previous years. But Wieslaw is a smart guy and it would not surprise me if his projections came out.”
