Closer than you think. I too have a PhD. So I guess that makes me a doctor. I am also a university professor.
Of course you are, in what subject? Because it sure isn't in the Sciences biggrin

It's not incumbent on me to revel my background in the subject as I'm not the one proclaiming the Scientists from all around the globe are wrong and involved in a conspiracy - that's you that is Diddybrain biggrin

That is a figment of your fertile (or should that be futile) imagination; I have never proclaimed anything of the sort. And it is very much incumbent upon you to remind us what your qualifications are troll.

Here we go Jinx - the names and email addresses for many Climate Scientists.

Drop a few a line (cut 'n' paste your above bullshine) with your assertion and come back with both the question and answer you get.

Here's the first one but there are a few:

Dr. Andrew Weaver
University of Victoria

School of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

Phone: 250-472-4006

Expertise: Climate Modelling and Forecasting



You won't.
I suspect I'll get an answer back explaining they are projections and should not be used for predictive analysis (the modelers are not responsible for the actions of political movements based on the output of the models) .

So why keep quoting models as if they should be 100% accurate? And when they aren't 100% accurate trying to use that as a proof that AGW is flawed.

It's about probabilities with models.

If a Doctor tells you you'll probably die if you don't take the pills he's not telling you that you WILL die if you don't take the pills but that it's probable - at that point only a fool doesn't take the pills.

Would you argue with the Doctor and not take the pills because some bloke on the PH forum told you it's all bullst?

Qualified Climate Scientists and Climate Modelling experts are equally telling you what's probable.

Your call.

Nobody has ever heard of a 'second opinion' when it comes to the medical profession.

No siree - none ever required - because all opinions are the same and there can be no interpretation of symptoms and the cure is always the same.

One white coat maybe not, 2 white coats also maybe not, thousands upon thousands of white coats, in thousands of establishments?

Sorry, at that point it's you with your head in the sand - I'm stood up listening.

In that case get 100 second opinions and go with what 97 tell you - or 90 - or whatever the general consensus is rolleyes

Right I'm out for a while - the attrition loop has lost its sparkle and there are other subjects I have an interest in and which desperately require my input.

Lets do that with economics too.

A room of 100 will have 100 opinions - all different.

Do we really have to do Cook and Oreskes again?

Fantastic. Dr Diderot. That’s going to sound great when you’re involved in the PHs scientific consensus changing paper.

What’s your PHD in? Why have you kept these impressive qualifications quiet for so long?

Hopefully this isn’t like when people said they were engineers and it turned out they were kitchen and bathroom engineers.

The 'you should have published this through peer review if you had a point' is a specious argument.

If I owned a dog, I would not expect to bark myself, but would reserve the right to review its ability to bark and to discipline it.

Same goes for the 'Climate Scientist' community.

Same old same old - the individuals of the organisations do not create the political announcements of said organisations......
You have a brain yourself LT - don't outsource it to pro-AGW propaganda sites.......

I could see maybe one or two organisations releasing statements that the scientists within perhaps didn’t fully support but all of them? Seems unlikely really.

The (C)AGW hypothesis resides with the models and is supported by the global temp data sets.

How many organisations and staff are directly involved with the above?

Many more organisations are actively engaged is assessing what the effect of the (C)AGW 'black box' may have on their particular sphere of influence.

TBH, if I were running a dept assessing the impact of (C)AGW and was able to offload the responsibility of it "all may be crud" onto another establishment, I would be very pragmatic!

Been some rather well published resignations but then the desmeg lot come out and smear and sneer at anyone who had the audacity to resign. Science is all about reputation - when you have professional reputation destroyers deliberately smearing anyone who goes against the "consensus" - who will risk their hard fought reputation? Especially in a field you don't work in? What do you gain by speaking out?
