Similarly much has been trumpeted by deniers about a letter signed by 25 current Geological Society of London fellowes along the same lines.

Out of 12,000 who could of signed it...well...you can do the math on that one.
So that's 11,975 whose income depend on keeping their mouths shut

Stanford University professor John Ioannidis proclaimed in 2005: "It can be proven that most claimed research findings are false."

He does this whenever his sources and lists get shown to be rubbish. Lie when anyone bothers to check them.

I think it’s to get his posts away from the last page.

Can you post the list of fellowes who didn't believe in it enough to put their name to it.

I'm sure PH's servers can store that amount of data.

If not, just take that post and in your mind multiply it by 364.

biggrin
What the x 364 who’s livelihoods probably depends on ‘knuckling down’ and not putting their careers/families well being at risk?

You do realise that being a “scientist” is just a job?

Still scientific institutions irrespective of the funding model. smile

You'll find businesses the world over fund research. As do NGOs and to be honest I would not trust either.

You don't think that funding can lead to bias?

Diderot, you do know that all of the latest studies are finding that the pause didn't happen don't you.

The 2 latest were only last month.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/1812...

Of course if you want to believe their was a pause (and the IPCC did mention it) then the warming since the end of it taken on its own is dramatic.

Of course you've been told this before but your own scientific investigations in the field and the lab (or by referencing WUWT and the Heartland Institute, who knows with you armchair professors) have concluded that these 2 studies are flawed in some way.

More studies showing the same are incoming as our knowledge increases. It's a relentless one-way flow of evidence that builds every day and must be terribly dispiriting for you. You end up having to rant about 20 year old data being wrong and using dubious sources to make your point.

Bad luck I'm afraid.
wow, a real live pause denier eek

I was saying the opposite. That's why you need to judge the science on its own merits.

The science being reported is almost all from grants made using public funds.

Funding for any secondary source organisation which gives a reference to this peer-reviewed research is irrelevant.

It's good to have a varied funding base for reporting, particularly as the UK offers no public funds for explicitly anti-agw research (Hansard) and as Jinx points out, all science needs to be judged on its merits not the nature and funding of a secondary source reporting on it.

After all we can't expect full coverage of agw research in The Guardian or on the BBC website (regrettably).

I've just looked back and seen that durbster tore this list to shreds once before. It was then reposted in August and the same thing happened again. He's now reposted it for a 4th time I believe.

The International Arctic Research Centre is an out-and-out LIE as was discovered last August.

My questions about that particular entry on the 12th August were never answered despite being asked at least 4 times.

It’s like he’s the Donald Trump of denial.

The flawed data derived from the various inaccurate models indicates that the earth's climate varies over time. In the real world, the earth's climate does indeed vary over time; however, the flawed data derived from various models does not match reality. There are likely to be lots of causes of the continuing variation.
The definition of variation would require the temperature to not follow a trend, yet each decade has been warmer than the last. What's your explanation for that? Everything in nature is driven by some kind of mechanism, so what's your alternative explanation for the warming trend over the last century that just happens to match model projections?

V8 Fettler said:
Has any scientific institution supported their claims with accurate models or published Theories?
Are you still insisting there's no scientific theory behind AGW? If that were true, what on earth do you think the models are based on? spin
Not in earth's history it hasn't. Why should I have to offer any explanation for variations in temperature? The onus is on the believers to support their case scientifically by using the basic scientific methods of repeatable scientific experiments and/or accurate scientific models.

As previously: in general usage, "theory" generally means "guess" or "hunch". In science, "theory" is supported by repeatable experiments or accurate models. In general usage, scientific theory broadly equates to proof, although a scientist will tell you that "proof" doesn't exist in science.

What are the believers basing their models on? Primarily guesswork.

2019: 'Climate change will affect (increase) how many boys are born worldwide, scientists say' - CNN

2005: 'Men Warm The Globe, Women Feel the Heat' - Feminist Climate Group

Oooer...more boys born, more global warming, more boys born... eek



That is, if this wasn't the usual pile of manure.
