The science is absolutely not settled30-01-2021 18:22
Swan★★★★★ (5723)	https://mises.org/wire/physicist-howard-haydens-one-letter-disproof-global-warming-claims Dear Administrator Jackson: I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called "Endangerment Finding." It has been often said that the "science is settled" on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false. The letter is s, the one that changes model into models. If the science were settled, there would be precisely one model, and it would be in agreement with measurements. Alternatively, one may ask which one of the twenty-some models settled the science so that all the rest could be discarded along with the research funds that have kept those models alive. We can take this further. Not a single climate model predicted the current cooling phase. If the science were settled, the model (singular) would have predicted it. Let me next address the horror story that we are approaching (or have passed) a "tipping point." Anybody who has worked with amplifiers knows about tipping points. The output "goes to the rail." Not only that, but it stays there. That's the official worry coming from the likes of James Hansen (of NASAÂGISS) and Al Gore. But therein lies the proof that we are nowhere near a tipping point. The earth, it seems, has seen times when the CO2 concentration was up to 8,000 ppm, and that did not lead to a tipping point. If it did, we would not be here talking about it. In fact, seen on the long scale, the CO2 concentration in the present cycle of glacials (ca. 200 ppm) and interglacials (ca. 300-400 ppm) is lower than it has been for the last 300 million years. Global-warming alarmists tell us that the rising CO2 concentration is (A) anthropogenic and ( leading to global warming. (A) CO2 concentration has risen and fallen in the past with no help from mankind. The present rise began in the 1700s, long before humans could have made a meaningful contribution. Alarmists have failed to ask, let alone answer, what the CO2 level would be today if we had never burned any fuels. They simply assume that it would be the "pre-industrial" value. The solubility of CO2 in water decreases as water warms, and increases as water cools. The warming of the earth since the Little Ice Age has thus caused the oceans to emit CO2 into the atmosphere. ( The first principle of causality is that the cause has to come before the effect. The historical record shows that climate changes precede CO2 changes. How, then, can one conclude that CO2 is responsible for the current warming? Nobody doubts that CO2 has some greenhouse effect, and nobody doubts that CO2 concentration is increasing. But what would we have to fear if CO2 and temperature actually increased? A warmer world is a better world. Look at weather-related death rates in winter and in summer, and the case is overwhelming that warmer is better. The higher the CO2 levels, the more vibrant is the biosphere, as numerous experiments in greenhouses have shown. But a quick trip to the museum can make that case in spades. Those huge dinosaurs could not exist anywhere on the earth today because the land is not productive enough. CO2 is plant food, pure and simple. CO2 is not pollution by any reasonable definition. A warmer world begets more precipitation. All computer models predict a smaller temperature gradient between the poles and the equator. Necessarily, this would mean fewer and less violent storms. The melting point of ice is 0 ÂºC in Antarctica, just as it is everywhere else. The highest recorded temperature at the South Pole is -14 ÂºC, and the lowest is -117 ÂºC. How, pray, will a putative few degrees of warming melt all the ice and inundate Florida, as is claimed by the warming alarmists? Consider the change in vocabulary that has occurred. The term global warming has given way to the term climate change, because the former is not supported by the data. The latter term, climate change, admits of all kinds of illogical attributions. If it warms up, that's climate change. If it cools down, ditto. Any change whatsoever can be said by alarmists to be proof of climate change. In a way, we have been here before. Lord Kelvin "proved" that the earth could not possibly be as old as the geologists said. He "proved" it using the conservation of energy. What he didn't know was that nuclear energy, not gravitation, provides the internal heat of the sun and the earth. Similarly, the global-warming alarmists have "proved" that CO2 causes global warming. Except when it doesn't. To put it fairly but bluntly, the global-warming alarmists have relied on a pathetic version of science in which computer models take precedence over data, and numerical averages of computer outputs are believed to be able to predict the future climate. It would be a travesty if the EPA were to countenance such nonsense. Best Regards, Howard C. Hayden Professor Emeritus of Physics, UConn

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Science is redundant, and repeatable. One computer model, is not science. One data set, is not science. Proxies, and analogs are not data. Global warming, is theoretically possible, on paper, which is all the consensus ever agreed to. The probability that it could actually be happening, is extremely low. We don't have the means, to actual measure, observe it happening. It's an extremely weak argument, but politics, marketing, and greed make up for the shortfalls. It'll remain popular, as long as it's profitable, or somebody comes up with a better scam.

IBdaMann★★★★★ (14413)	HarveyH55 wrote: Science is redundant, and repeatable. Science is not an action. Here I believe you are referring more accurately to the scientific method which utilizes experiments ... which must be repeatable to be valid. Science models are not themselves redundant because Occam's Razor eliminates redundancies as well as eliminating more complex models that express the same thing. Here I believe you are referring to how the external consistency of science models translates directly into clear and obvious overlap in science experiments. In both cases you are spot on. HarveyH55 wrote: One computer model, is not science. Correct. Any given computer model is simply one person's unsupported claim, expressed in a programming language instead of being expressed in English. This is done in order to be able to say "It's not* my opinion, it's what the computer is telling us! It must be true and correct! The computer can't lie!" I feel sorry for the gullible morons that fall for it. HarveyH55 wrote:* One data set, is not science. Proxies, and analogs are not data. You are wise beyond your years. HarveyH55 wrote: Global warming, is theoretically possible, on paper, Nope. No one has ever put it "on paper." To do so would result in its swift death by summary execution. Hence, no warmizombie will ever unambiguously define it. HarveyH55 wrote: We don't have the means, to actual measure, observe it happening. All political "crises" and "existential threats" used to control people through fear are always invisible, poorly defined and impossible to confirm. Right now, the US is under seige by the uber-trifecta, i.e. Global Warming, China Virus and White Nationalism-driven Domestic Terrorism. We need our Federal Government to save us from the doom that they would never have created in the first place. We can only hope that our Federal Government sufficiently taxes us before we reach the tipping point, even if it might already be too late. .

Few minor flaws... CO2 is heavier than O2, there would be less O2 near the surface for the critters to breath. OSHA, CDC, claim 5,000 ppm is a lethal level, do to the lack of available O2, least indoor workplaces. Likely doesn't much matter, since you still wouldn't get enough oxygen. 1,200 ppm is consider safe to work in, unassisted. I do believe there was a great deal more CO2, than today. Those giant lizards, would have had giant appetites as well. The ideal level of CO2 for plants, is around 800 ppm. Never found any maximum level, but the was no noticeable difference, going higher than 800. Greenhouses go with 1200 ppm, safe to work in, and the plants always get all they want, even if somebody left the door open for a while. We didn't leave a journal, or any records from the dino-days, so it's just guessing, unless somebody has a magic time machine.

Faith-based 'science' isn't fact, it's best guessing. Only lasts as long as takes, to come up with a better guess. It isn't even science. While all theories begin as circular arguments, including scientific ones, it is the test of falsifiability that takes a theory of science outside the realm of a simple circular argument. Thus, while a theory of science begins based on faith, just like any theory, a theory of science has a way to test that 'faith'. That fact means the theory is no longer based strictly on faith. It can be assumed to be True, until the theory itself is falsified. Science is only interested in falsifying evidence. Supporting evidence is not used in science. Only religions use supporting evidence. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

It is a theory, and not even a scientific one. Science has no theories about past unobserved events. They are not falsifiable.

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	I have lived and worked in the outback of west australia.The dinosaurs are still here just a bit smaller.One of my favorites is the bicycle dragon Ctenophorus scutulatus they move around like a normal 4 legged lizard then all of a sudden get up on their back legs and take of at a bazillion MPH.I have seen them run across the swimming pool at the van park.We have a lot of different monitors as well that get up around the 4 foot mark

So you do not know what you believe Noah's flood might've been huge lakes in glaciers creating a deluge. If you consider that's how both the English Channel and the Great Lakes are believed to have formed, that's a lotttttttttttt of water.
