Al Fin: Is the Phrase "Delusional Belief" Redundant?

The human brain is set up to believe things it cannot prove. Beliefs can be either religious or secular. The religious term for this phenomenon is "faith", but the coldly logical term is "delusion." Looking at the belief in climate catastrophe, it is clear that such a belief is an act of quasi-religious faith, and a delusion.

Well known and respected French scientist and engineer, Christian Gerondeau, takes a closer look at this particular delusional belief in "Climate, the Great Delusion."

The Hockey Schtick: Paper: Change in Concentration of Any Trace Gas Won't Affect Climate

German theoretical physicists Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf D. Tscheuschner, authors of the 2009 paper "Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects within the Frame of Physics", have responded to critics with 2 recent papers which reaffirm their conclusion that "we cannot expect that a change in concentration of any trace gas will have any measurable effect" upon climate (i.e. CO2 and all other trace IR active "greenhouse" gases).

'Climategate' report clears Professor Jones of dishonesty but that is not the key issue – Telegraph Blogs

now it is plain for all to see: science, for all its splendid contributions to modern life, is as subject to human antipathy, rivalry and downright nastiness as anything else. It survives through a competitive race for grant-funding, academic favour and professional advancement which is as susceptible to corrupt ambition, group-think and peer pressure as any other human endeavour. The general public is unlikely to forget this disillusioning little tale in a hurry.

David Holland: A Ruling More Significant Than Russell Review

At the request of the University of East Anglia the Information Commissioner has this morning issued his Decision Notice, FER0238017, on my complaint that UEA did not deal with his 2008 requests for information in accordance with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIRs).

Like other Decision Notices it formulaic and low key. However its 15 pages may turn out to be more significant for the assessment of Climate Change than the 160 page report from Sir Muir Russell’s team that has followed it.

Paragraphs 34 onwards of the Notice make clear beyond argument that information on climate change and its assessment by the IPCC is subject to the EIRs, and that UEA broke them.
