Taking the heat out of global warming

For the first time in history, people shouting “the end is nigh” are somehow
the sane ones, while those of us who say it is not are now the lunatics.

Key ‘culturally ignorant’ – next will be ‘denier’

Richard Treadgold | September 17, 2012

Yesterday, on Marae Investigates, Mr Morgan was asked what he thought about Mr Key saying the King was wrong about Maori owning the water. He replied: “That once again says the Prime Minister is culturally ignorant, and that’s unfortunate.”

via King’s spokesman calls Key ‘culturally ignorant’ – NZ Herald News.

Next thing you know, they’ll be calling Key a “denier”. Then all who oppose them.

    the NZ Herald has described the outcome of the court case as “refreshing”

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=10834470

    They also go onto say:

    Part of the reason for this outcome is the professional communications approach employed by the climate sceptics. Scientists have not been able to compete with this

    This is pure, unadulterated drivel. NIWA had Network PR working for them (at the taxpayers expense). Which PR company was working for the NZCSC?

    Furthermore, the PR/propaganda for the “consensus” is huge. Sceptics are largely self-funded.

    The Herald is either delusional or deliberately lying to its readership.

      “pure, unadulterated drivel” – Yep.

      I made a few points re the premature pre-appeal (if any) pronouncement and this:-

      “Justice Venning said Niwa had applied “internationally recognised and credible scientific methodology”"

      Apart from that my comment (not posted yet) was that there was so much garbage in the article that it wasn’t worth wasting time analyzing.

Latest climate models v. reality

As the models continue to leave actual temperature readings in their dust, sizeable warming halted about 1995 — although it might resume at any time. It must hasten to have any hope of catching up with the predictions.

If you claim warming continues, we want evidence of continued warming — eminently reasonable. Making us wait for 17 years for that evidence invites us to doubt you.

Claiming that warming hasn't stopped is the same as claiming it has — and both are ridiculous, for nobody knows the future. The best you can do is describe the past.
