No, Becky, there is still no Global Warming.
Becky Oskin, Staff “Science writer” for LiveScience, wants to remind us that “Yes, It’s Cold — and Yes, Global Warming Is Still Happening”
She bases her story on the idea that people see the cold and think of it as proof that global warming doesn’t exist.
No, Becky, you ignorant slut, we do indeed know the difference between weather and climate, we have been trying to explain to you morons for ages. WE know the difference between weather and climate, and clearly YOU do not.
Let’s start with basics, which you probably don’t grasp. The thermometer is 500 years old. Do a little research, Becky. I mean real research where you look something up for yourself, not just ape the partyline your masters demand you parrot. For there to be a meaningful measurement of the earth’s mean temperature you need evenly distributed measurements that have taken place over the course of thousands of centuries, and you do not have that, and you cannot get that. What you have is conjecture based on ice samples of indeterminate age that show values of CO2 that nobody knows are a leading or trailing indicator of the temperature of the planet. In other words, wild ass guesses. And Mann and all those idiots that took those wild ass guesses and turned them into “OH NOES THE SKY IT IZ FALLIN!” Have been proven to be hacks, and you’re far too stupid to see it. Look, we’re not blind, OK? We are perfectly aware that the completely manufactured “Gloebull warmening” phenomena is a Malthusian device, you cannot fool us, and we don’t care what you think or what you believe.
No, Becky, we don’t use the cold weather to prove that global warming doesn’t exist. We already know that. We use the cold weather to mock your ignorance.
I took a look at Backseat Becky’s little screed and it’s really full of poor thinking. Too much poor logic to fisk in so little space. For example, one storm is weather not climate, but one hot summer is? “2013 was (Australia’s) the country’s hottest year on record.” So she’s telling us one abnormally cold winter doesn’t count, but a summer does?
A favorite quote is “prediction is the essence of science”. So exactly how accurate have the IPCC climate predictions been? The ones they scale back with every release of their papers, but that are still too high. Yeah, those models.
You make a hypothesis, you come up with an experiment to prove said hypothesis and you have a theory.
Climate Science cannot be proven since you cannot come up with an experiment to prove your hypothesis, so it is by definition, faith.
Thaaats all, Folks.
:Applause: Masterful.
#Breitbartnews “In New York, temperatures reached a 118-year low. ”
Colder than a wtich’s…. No, wait.
Meteorological omen. DeBlasio’s communist teet will be cold.
Weather only isn’t climate when it’s convenient to the narrative, as Graybeard pointed out.
Equally, models that can’t predict anything correctly are a piss-poor basis for panic or very expensive (and impoverishing) remedies.
Like Pascal, I applaud your final paragraph.
And I don’t have any confidence that the modern thermometer is calibrated on the same scale as those older ones. We have no way to track all that data going back more than 100 years.
During a heated exchange with a Lib regarding AGW a few years ago, she told me that she knew for certain that AGW was in fact real. When I asked her how she “knew” it, she said that the sun was much hotter on her skin now than it was when she was a kid.
I stood there stone-faced, waiting for the punchline or a wry smile to grace her face. When it became obvious that she was indeed serious I said, “Well, there you go”. Then I turned and walked off.
What do you SAY to someone that stupid.
It was right and proper to bust out laughing right then and there LANL. It provides and excellent opportunity for the fool to laugh contagiously and maybe even recover from their folly.
Granted the tactic may be too optimistic in some instances, but more miraculous things can and do occur. Next time, try it.
