Delusions Down Under « NoFrakkingConsensus

These people aren’t shy, that’s for sure. They don’t believe they’re correct about just a small piece of the puzzle. Rather, they imagine they know enough to predict what will happen 90 years from now with respect to four separate and distinct matters: water temperature, sea-levels, ocean pH, and storms.

My gosh. Where does one get that sort of self-confidence? What kind of echo-chamber/feedback loop/ivory tower does one need to inhabit? For how long must one reside there before such magnificent self-delusion takes hold?

That more than 60 people, with advanced degrees, have attached their names to this statement is all the proof one needs that education doesn’t equal wisdom.

More modeling madness: increased temperature ‘may’ cause more violent thunderstorms – but other studies show what they missed | Watts Up With That?

It seems that when they ignore important and significant mesoscale urban factors like these in favor of broader GCM models,  the Tel Aviv researchers have a clear case of modeled confirmation bias on their hands.

After all, thunderstorms are local events, so shouldn’t they be looking for local factors too?

My calculations suggest that scientists are making a ton of money lying about sea level.

Government scientists who make comments like that in an official capacity should be compelled by law to follow through with their claims.
