It’s Not About Feedback | Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach - Watts Up With That?

My conclusion from all of this is that the climate, like other flow systems far from equilibrium, contains homeostatic mechanisms. One effect of these mechanisms is that the tropical temperature is constrained to remain within a fairly narrow range.

And that’s why I describe myself as a climate heretic. I think the earth has a thermostat, one that is not represented in any of the current generation of climate models. I don’t think that climate is linear. I think that climate sensitivity is not a constant at all, but is a function of temperature. And to return to the title of the post, I think that the debate should not be about feedback at all, it should be a debate about the types and the effects of the various natural homeostatic mechanisms.

And all of those are definitely heresies to the latest IPCC Council of Nicean Climate …

Global weirding in 1839

It is interesting to know that 100 years ago (1839) the people of the colony were under the opinion each year that the climate was altering, as even to-day (1934) the old inhabitants say the same thing.
