New IPCC report shows climate scientists struggling with failed predictions:

1. Catastrophic outcomes (e.g., ice sheet collapse) deemphasized.

2. But ramped up hysteria over slight (1.5C-2C) warming.

Translation from climate bedwetting-ese of the key points of the new IPPC report:

1. Natural variability drives climate.

2. Never mind those wild temperature model projections.

3. Forget about catastrophic events. 2/
Failed climate predictions force IPCC to dial back hysteria in new report. For example:

1987 - James Hansen predicts global temp 3-4C higher by 2020

2020 - Global Temps only 0.44C higher.

New IPCC: ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…

Wrong Again: junkscience.com/2020/12/wrong-…
Climate hysterics can't even predict atmospheric CO2 levels (let alone the effects):

1978: CO2 levels to double by 2020

2020: CO2 level up by only 23%

Wrong Again: junkscience.com/2020/12/wrong-…

New IPCC report: ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…

The new IPCC report doubles down on hysteria over exceeding its temp targets of 1.5C and 2C. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…

But those targets are NOT science-based.

Climategate revealed they were 'plucked out of thin air.'

junkscience.com/2011/11/climat…

Just made-up hysteria. 5/
The new IPCC report backs off catastrophic climate claims because of prediction failures like at Mt. Kilimanjaro:

2008: Mt. Kilimanjaro snow to vanish by 2020

2020: Only thing melted is the prediction.

Wrong Again: junkscience.com/2020/12/wrong-…

New IPCC: ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…
Here's another classic climate alarmist blunder:

1986: EPA predicts 2 feet of sea level rise for Florida by 2020.

2020: Sea level rise + subsidence in South Florida since 1986 has been < 4 inches.

Wrong Again: junkscience.com/2020/12/wrong-…

New IPPC report: ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…
New IPCC report forced to admit nature still in charge of climate. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…

Not surprisingly this summer's extreme weather disasters -- heatwaves, drought, floods -- have all happened before and will again! realclearenergy.org/articles/2021/…

8/
Because extreme predictions have obviously failed, the new IPCC report is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill (i.e., exceeding the 1.5C target).

But satellites show average temp is warming at a modest rate of 0.14C per decade. drroyspencer.com/2021/08/uah-gl…

No big deal! 9/
In 2000, @Greenpeace used an IPCC report to predict that emissions would wreck Tuvalu's economy by 2020.

Instead, Tuvala was experiencing a pre-COVID economic boom.

Who can forget 'federal scientists' predicting that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2020?

Today Arctic ice ranges 6 million square kilometers. nsidc.org/arcticseaicene…

Wrong Again: junkscience.com/2020/12/wrong-…

New IPCC report: ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1… 11/
As the IPCC melts down anew re a predicted 1.5C increase, here's what didn't melt as predicted:

2009: Glaciers at Glacier National Park gone by 2020.

2020: Gone are Park signs claiming the glaciers would be gone.

Wrong Again: junkscience.com/2020/12/wrong-…

IPCC says humans have (slightly) warmed the climate.

No doubt.

But the IPCC pretends warming is all emissions vs. urban heat island, land use and temperature manipulation.

Adjusting for urban heat island effect, warming disappears, per Roy Spencer. drroyspencer.com/2021/01/could-… 13/
Despite double-talk, new IPCC report admits changes are NOT unprecedented over hundreds to thousands of years. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…

We've always said, for example, the Medieval Optimum was as warm, if not warmer than today.

Here's a graph from the 1990 IPCC report. 14/
The new IPCC report fails to recognize slight warming & more CO2 have been great for humans & wildlife. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…

If not: Why are there so many of us? What is the planet so green? What are we growing more food than ever?

And the weather hasn't changed. 15/
The WaPo evaluates past IPCC claims:

"The scientists were right."

Sorry. Cimate scientists have never been correct.

This and all similar global temperature graphs are meaningless.

The great former MIT physics professor Walter Lewin explains why. 1/ Image
Former MIT physics professor Walter Lewin explains why NOAA temperature graphs are "meaningless." 2/
A few more points:

1. Less than 8% of NOAA temperature stations are accurate to within 1°C.

2. In 1885, for example, not much of the globe was covered by surface temperature stations.

3. Even today, much of the Earth's surface its not covered by temperature stations.

That's just some of the uncertainty omitted from NOAA's "global temperature" graph. 3/junkscience.com/2016/01/only-7…Image

Norwegian statistics bureau throws cold water on emissions-driven global warming hysteria.

"We find that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be strong enough to cause systematic changes in the temperature fluctuations during the last 200 years."

More from the Norwegian statistics bureau:

All four previous interglacial periods were warmer than today, while CO2 at pre-industrial levels.

More from the Norwegian statistics bureau:

- Current Greenland temperatures have not exceeded natural variability of the past 4,000 years.

- Long periods over the past 10,000 years were warmer than today.

The Red Pope swings and misses at the origin of warming and emissions:

1. The current warming trend began at the bottom of the Little Ice Age in the late 1600s.

2. Recent warming began with the series of El Ninos that began in 1980.

3. We are in an El Nino year now.

4. As to emissions, warming precedes emissions. It gooses the natural carbon cycle. See Vostok ice cores and this -

5. Only 12% or so of atmospheric CO2 is manmade. 8/
Image
The Red Pope just makes it up:

1. There is no way to say that the temperature rise since the 1970s is the fastest in 2,000 years.

2. There was little if any urban heat island effect 2,000 years ago and no satellites.

3. Then there's this: "Dansgaard-Oeschger events are rapid N. Hemisphere temp jumps of up to 15°C in Greenland that repeatedly occurred w/i a few decades during the last ice age."

4. Climategate revealed that temperature targets like 1.5°C are just 'plucked out of thin air' and are not science.

5. No one knows what the global temperature in 1850 was.

6. 'Ocean acidification' is a myth. The oceans may have become slightly less basic, but that is not more acidic. Two is not more negative than three.'

7. There is no evidence of any effects from any ocean pH change.

8. Norther Hemisphere snow cover is trending up. 9/
Image
The Red Pope imagines the fake 97% 'climate consensus' is science and attacks capitalism.

1. Recent warming correlates with El Ninos, not emissions.

2. Consensus is not science. And the 97% consensus is bogus.

3. Capitalism and emissions have taken humanity from less than 1 billion to over 8 billion people. You'd think the Pope would be praising both. 10/junkscience.com/2023/01/milloy…

USA Today doesn't like my tweet from last month👇and tries to 'fact check' it.

Let's walk through USA Today fact-checker Kate Petersen's effort. 1/ https://t.co/8QbMtAiebpusatoday.com/story/news/fac…
Image
USA Today's 'fact check' is dishonest from the start.

Although the 'fact check' presents several images, the tweet being attacked is not one of them. The tweet is merely linked and quoted.

The tweet's graph, of course, is what made it 1.9 million views-compelling. 2/

The USA Today 'fact check' reports that the satellite data among NOAA and NASA program vary.

First, all satellite temps are processed estimates and not direct measurements. So different processing ill produce different estimates.

I like the NASA data processed by the University… https://t.co/hTW9IAPaAgtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Climate deception exposed in a short thread:

@USAToday recently ran this opinion piece raving about deaths from heat waves.

Note the cite to the Lancet Planetary Health🙄 study. 1/
Image
Image
Here's a chart from the Lancet Planetary Health🙄 study.

Note how the chart is made to look as if heat deaths are as big or even a bigger problem than deaths from cold in some countries.

Can you spot the deception? Even I initially missed it. 2/ Image
Now here's the Lancet Planetary Health🙄chart (A) vs. the chart re-made by the @CO2Coalition (B) with the same death rate (X-axis) scale for cold and hot.

Look at how the Lancet chart misleads viewers by barring out cold deaths in units of 50 vs. only 10 for heat deaths...… https://t.co/7W8C8H3oFUtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
