IPCC’s new narrative and Future Earth, new kid on the “transformational” block

The View From Here

So, while Richard Betts of the U.K. Met Office, aka a “jewel in the crown” of U.K. and global science, continues to generate diversionary and dismissive fog, other prophets of doom from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), led by the math-challenged modeller and message manipulator in chief, Thomas Stocker, current Co-Chair of the IPCC’s Working Group I (WG1) have been holding forth on the IPCC’s “three main messages” for its “primary customer“, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the annual conference of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).

Here’s a screen capture of Stocker and some of his colleagues spreading the gospel at an AGU press conference:

    Is Future Earth another UN bureauclone sample of Agenda 21 in action?

    Interesting that they actually say they want to “create” new knowledge. Sounds like the same activity that has been going on for years especially in Climate Science.

  3. Thanks, Roger! Although I’m not entirely sure that (if I had such a category in my quiet little corner of the blogosphere) I would file this under “solar system dynamics”. “Narratives ‘n networking nonsense”, yes. But not “solar system dynamics” 😉

    Ah, good point Hilary. Ssd is the default category for talkshop posts. I reblogged using my mobile phone in Malaga. Good article anyway.

    I am currently reading The Age of GLOBAL WARMING: A History by Rupert Darwall and this post shows that this version of history trudges on true to form.

    As Civil Servants, Richard Betts and his boss Senna the Soothsayer need to be reminded of provisions of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010

    The legislation placed the Civil Service values on a statutory footing and includes the publication of a Civil Service Code.

    Integrity – putting the obligations of public service above personal interests
    Honesty – being truthful and open
    Objectivity – basing advice and decisions on rigorous analysis of the evidence
    Impartiality – acting solely according to the merits of the case and serving governments of different political parties equally well

    “New knowledge.” would that be a way of re-branding fraud, rather like ‘global warming’ was re-branded to ‘climate change’ ?

  8. Merry Christmas to a very tall bloke, and all who stand on his shoulders….

    Lock on the amount of more than 20 km over the North Atlantic, causes the warm air is flowed over the Scandinavia and Arctic over the Russia and Asia.

    Let’s see how Jetstream will brake on blockade of the stratosphere.

    By the way to see the weather in America before Christmas.

    This reminds me of a buffalo skull.

    Can’t wait to see it Fen. Flaky mobile inet connection here in Spain. WordPress app working, web pages and email not!

    Reading that screen capture above I just couldn’t help but think of what Feynman would have thought (or close) of IPCC’s brag statements on the left panel…

    It doesn’t matter how many years you put into hard work, it doesn’t matter how many publications you have assessed, it doesn’t matter how many gigabytes you have analyzed or how many review comments you have responded, if the predictions from the theory do not match what is observed in nature, it is wrong. That is all there is to it.

    Well, after seventeen long years it does not come even close to match, and that is that, a bad theory that is wrong.

    Ren,

    I think I understand the Worse than we Thought claims now!! The high radiation rate at the poles due to the reduced ozone due to man has caused MUTANT ICE!!! It is growing and will destroy us all!!!

    Merry Christmas All!!

    Will there be now, as last year, a sharp increase in temperature at a height of 45 km?

    On lower altitudes the temperature drops.

  16. hunter says:

    What a joke. They offer an argument from authority and the AGU laps it up.

  17. ren says:

    Interesting is the temperature distribution at a height of 45 km.

  18. hunter says:

    ren, What are the implications you see of temps at 45km?

  19. ren says:

    Should be monitored for temperature in the stratosphere. Jump in the last year has led to a strong lock all over the stratosphere and elongation winters.

  20. ren says:

    December 21 in the U.S..

  21. ren says:

    The pressure at the height of 15 km and all clear.

  22. ren says:

    In Canada, extremal frost.

    Tallbloke, today in the immense region in the U.S. falling icy rain. The cold jet stream collides with the warm front from the Gulf of Mexico.
