The climate of the climate change debate is changing | Myles Allen | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Although Munich Re estimates that weather events in 2011 cost more than $100bn and claimed many thousands of lives, only a few of these events were clearly made more likely by human influence. Others may have been made less likely, but occurred anyway – chance remains the single dominant factor in when and where a weather event occurs. For the vast majority of events, we simply don't yet know either way.

Why the “Record High To Record Low” Ratio Is Junk Science | Real Science

The lines are sixth order fits. The first thing that stands out is that the number of record maximums and minimums has tailed off markedly in the last 70 years. Also, the signals are very noisy, and appear to be cyclical and converging.

It is a testament to how poor the science is, that experts would take one small set of data points from one small geographical location, without any historical context, and draw conclusions about “global warming.”

These people are more ignorant and more superstitious than the witch burning crowd in The Holy Grail.

Last Ice Age Was A “One In A Google Event” | Real Science

During the last ice age, temperatures were below normal for 1,200,000 months in a row. The odds of this happening randomly are 2 raised to the 1200000 power, or some phenomenally large number.

Thank you climate experts for opening up a whole new world of junk statistics.
