THIS WEEK:
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Coverage Mission (SEPP)
Scope: The UN’s intoxicating annual dance of the sugar plum fairies is over (COP 27) is over and is deliberate to happen subsequent 12 months (COP 28) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, a present case of the luxurious offered by means of fossil fuels within the as soon as small fishing village on the sting of the barren desert. The irony is becoming. Over the previous few years leaders of western nations have made intoxicated guarantees as to the extent they are going to punish their international locations for the prosperity that use of fossil fuels has introduced. Just a few examples of the early awakening of chilly cause will likely be mentioned.
The October 22 TWTW contained an vital quote by Richard Feynman from The Which means of It All
“And it’s of paramount significance, with a purpose to make progress, that we acknowledge this ignorance and this doubt. As a result of we’ve got doubt, we then suggest wanting in new concepts. The speed of improvement of science shouldn’t be the speed at which you make observations alone however, way more vital, the speed at which you create new issues to check.”
The UN IPCC’s science has stagnated since its first report in 1990. Certainly, US atmospheric and local weather science has stagnated because the 1979 Charney Report which claimed {that a} doubling of CO2 will trigger a warming 3°C plus or minus 1.5°C (about 3 to eight°F). This lack of progress is the results of these accountable for these experiences, and their advocates, claiming that the “science is settled.” There isn’t a doubt displaying that progress must be made.
Throughout this forty plus years, nice strides have been made in understanding and measuring what is going on within the environment and the way greenhouse gases heat the environment, thus the floor beneath it. These important advances are ignored in IPCC and US authorities experiences. As such, the experiences exhibit important purposeful illiteracy of bodily sciences and the restrictions of making use of arithmetic to bodily science. Just a few examples of this purposeful illiteracy will likely be mentioned. These embody:
Roy Spencer’s report evaluating temperatures in cities in Alberta with temperatures of the encompassing countryside.
The dialogue by Cliff Mass on the absurd notion of pure tipping factors.
The dialogue by Christopher Rufo on the statistical illiteracy on the now-trendy use of the statistical significant time period “stochastic.”
Jo Nova discusses the most recent “State of the Local weather” in Australia.
The purposeful illiteracy demonstrated by organizations similar to UN WHO and the European Atmosphere Company on air air pollution. One doesn’t get mathematical certainty by making use of rigorous arithmetic to poorly understood ideas. One could get absurd outcomes with large unknown errors.
And the entire amateur-hour charade demonstrated by leaders of some international locations on the right way to pay for the excesses promised at COP 27.
*******************
After the Dance: The UN annual dance of the sugar plum fairies is over. Now some laborious questions start: The best way to pay for all the guarantees made? President Biden averted answering such questions by visiting different international locations to make meaningless offers. Francis Menton summed the aim effectively when writing within the Manhattan Contrarian:
In any sane world, the American President would use such a spherical of conferences to advance American pursuits, and likewise to extol, as a mannequin for the world, the freedom-based financial system (typically mis-named “capitalism”) that has made the U.S. the world’s wealthiest and most profitable nation. Certainly, when ex-President Trump traveled the world for conferences like these, some model of these have been typically his essential themes.
However now, we’ve got a President who’s a person of the Left, and it’s the other. You possibly can’t assist noticing that Biden — just like the leftists who set his agenda and write his phrases — is ashamed of the nation he leads and of its financial success. Thus, he makes use of these events primarily to apologize and to attempt to purchase forgiveness and atonement for his nation’s supposed sins.
One can say that after World Battle II, each president till President Obama was proud to signify america. In the meantime, in accordance with experiences, European officers are accusing the Biden Administration of being a “battle profiteer” for utilizing Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as an excuse for elevating the value of pure gasoline and benefiting from weapons gross sales and commerce whereas rising subsidies to inexperienced pursuits. Among the expenses could look like unfair, however the administration has restricted the event of oil and pure gasoline within the US, leading to increased costs, because the EIA information on costs present.
COP-27 closed with no clear estimate how a lot cash is to be transferred to growing international locations for “compensation” for imaginary harm to them from the usage of fossil fuels, or how a lot every nation will partake. The satan is within the particulars to “be decided later.”
Additional, the Democrats misplaced management of the Home, the place new spending payments originate. (A typical trick to keep away from this Constitutional requirement is so as to add new spending to an current invoice and calling it a “persevering with decision.”) Nevertheless, presently, the Republicans in command of the Home appear decided that they won’t enable funds to different international locations for rising prosperity that has lengthy been a part of the custom of American authorities, no matter political get together. They are going to reject the false claims that carbon dioxide emissions are inflicting a rise in dangerous climate. See hyperlinks underneath After Paris!, Change in US Administrations, and The Political Video games Proceed.
*******************
Incomplete Science: As mentioned in earlier TWTW’s, the work of physics Professors van Wijngaarden and Happer has proven that our understanding of the greenhouse impact is incomplete. Opposite to the worldwide local weather modeling of the IPCC and its followers, there isn’t a uniform principle for the way greenhouse gases have an effect on earth temperatures. Additional, our understanding of clouds, that are very important for understanding the results of the environment on earth’s temperatures, is much from full. Due to this fact, the altering environment can’t be modeled with any understanding of the likelihood of error. Thus, mannequin forecasts/projections or predictions are meaningless.
Nevertheless, utilizing the work of van Wijngaarden and Happer, an higher certain could be established for the identified improve in radiative forcing of doubling CO2 and different greenhouse gases. (The higher certain would come with such debatable issues as temperature rise.)
Additionally, the work of AMO physicist Howard Hayden reveals that the IPCC and its followers don’t perceive the Stefan-Boltzmann regulation, which was developed individually by Josef Stefan in 1879 and Ludwig Boltzmann in 1884. This regulation has been used extensively by astronomers for estimating temperatures of our bodies in house for over 100 years. There isn’t a cause to simply accept UN experiences as educated within the science concerned and it’s silly to base vitality insurance policies on these experiences.
In his dialogue on the very restricted impact methane has on temperatures, Happer concluded with the poem by Alexander Pope on the Pierian spring: “Drink deep or style not.” The identical applies right here within the IPPC’s dialogue of the Stefan Boltzmann regulation and planetary warmth stability. See final week’s TWTW and http://www.sepp.org/science_papers.cfm

Floor Based mostly Temperatures: In his persevering with investigation of land-based datasets (known as surface-air) with exaggerated warming tendencies really produced by urbanization, Roy Spencer targeted on the cities of Calgary and Edmonton in largely rural Alberta. The Abstract states:
“Comparability of rural with city temperature monitoring websites throughout Canada in the course of the summers of 1978-2022 reveals the anticipated common nighttime heat bias in city areas, with a weaker daytime impact. When utilized to the Landsat imagery-based diagnoses of elevated urbanization over time, 20% of the temperature tendencies in a small area encompassing Calgary and Edmonton are discovered to be attributable to rising urbanization. Calgary leads the record of Canadian cities with elevated urbanization, with an estimated 50% of the nighttime warming tendencies throughout 10 Canadian mostly-metro areas attributable to elevated urbanization, and 20% of the daytime warming tendencies.”
After presenting the small print of the report, Spencer concludes:
“Canadian cities present a considerable city warmth island impact in the summertime, particularly at evening, and Landsat-based estimates of elevated urbanization recommend that this has induced a spurious warming part of reported temperature tendencies, no less than for areas experiencing elevated urbanization. A restricted comparability in Alberta suggests there stays an city warming bias within the CRUTem5 dataset, in line with my earlier postings on the topic and work completed by others.
“The difficulty is vital as a result of rational vitality coverage needs to be primarily based upon actuality, not notion. To the extent that world warming estimates are exaggerated, so will likely be vitality coverage selections. As it’s, there may be proof [link given below] that the local weather fashions used to information coverage produce extra warming than noticed, particularly in the summertime when extra warmth is of concern. If that noticed warming is even lower than being reported, then the local weather fashions grow to be more and more irrelevant to vitality coverage selections.” [Boldface added]

Tipping Factors? Le Chatelier’s precept was developed for Chemistry in 1884. It has been utilized to thermodynamics and the conservation of mass-energy in particle physics. Thus, the favored trend of speaking about local weather tipping factors is disturbing. On his web site, Climate Weblog, Cliff Mass has description of the hurt the promoters of this absurdity are inflicting. He begins [Boldface in original]:
“It looks as if there may be one other strident local weather “tipping level” headline each different day.
“Threats of irreversible catastrophic local weather change simply across the nook.
“The reality is that such claims by some media retailers and local weather activists are opposite to the perfect science.
“An try and sow fear and panic, with the motivation to encourage individuals to “do the appropriate factor.” And it’s each unethical and counterproductive.
“What’s a local weather tipping level?
“In response to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a tipping level is outlined as
‘the essential level in a state of affairs, course of, or system past which a major and infrequently unstoppable impact or change takes place’
“And a local weather tipping level could be outlined as
‘a essential threshold that, when crossed, results in massive and infrequently irreversible adjustments within the local weather system.’
“Particularly, the concept is that rising greenhouse gases (like CO2) will lead to warming that may produce massive, irreversible adjustments within the local weather system.
“Like driving off a cliff. And that lowering greenhouse gasoline emissions and concentrations later won’t assist. The adjustments can be irreversible. We couldn’t return.”
After going by way of some particulars on how silly it’s to use the idea to local weather, Mass concludes:
“These pushing local weather tipping factors are doing the satan’s work. They know that the results of human-caused local weather change are at present comparatively modest. However people aren’t sufficiently motivated to take the actions the activists need. So, they’ve determined to scare the inhabitants, with an impending, terrifying precipice of local weather change.
“Not moral, not primarily based on science. And they’re inflicting people psychological hurt and pushing governments to make poor selections.”

Stochastic Fears? A typical time period in statistics is “Stochastic” that means randomly distributed, or not predictable. A stochastic likelihood distribution could also be examined statistically however can’t be predicted exactly. An instance of a stochastic course of is radioactive decay. There could also be a set likelihood of any atom in a bunch breaking down giving off alpha and beta particles, however there isn’t a likelihood of predicting which atom. Additional, the likelihood of the decay have to be established by remark. Completely different components and isotopes of components decay at completely different charges.
Political commentator for Manhattan Institute Christopher Rufo writes in Metropolis Journal:
“In an opinion piece for Scientific American, author Bryn Nelson insinuated that my factual reporting on Drag Queen Story Hour was an instance of ‘stochastic terrorism,’ which he defines as ‘ideologically pushed hate speech’ that will increase the chance of unpredictable acts of violence. On the evening of the assault, Nelson argued, I had appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight to debate my reporting, and, hours later, the alleged attacker, David DePape, radicalized by ‘QAnon’ conspiracy theories about ‘Democratic, Devil-worshipping pedophiles,’ broke into the Pelosi residence and attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
“It is a weird declare that, for {a magazine} supposedly devoted to ‘science,’ hardly meets a scientific customary of trigger and impact.”
The time period “stochastic terrorism” is absurd. That it seems within the as soon as famous Scientific American illustrates how far that publication has sunk. Rufo’s remark that it doesn’t meet the scientific customary of trigger and impact is meaningless. See hyperlink underneath Speaking Higher to the Public – Use Yellow (Inexperienced) Journalism?
*******************
Beating the Drums: Jo Nova experiences that the Australian local weather is ok, nothing uncommon, however the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Analysis Group (CSIRO) and Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) are in disaster mode. Their newest State of the Local weather, 2022, ignores information that Nova makes use of. Nova writes:
The “greatest crimes of this report are what they don’t say. The CSIRO and BoM should know, however don’t point out, that satellites don’t present any warming in Australia within the final ten years in any respect. Satellites observe throughout all seven million sq. kilometers of Australia and are calibrated in opposition to hundreds of climate balloons. The CSIRO and BoM desire to make use of thermometers in carparks, close to runways, or near incinerators, then they magically modify tendencies at some websites up by as a lot as 2 levels (that’s the entire century-long development proper there?!)
“However it is smart in a non-scientific form of means. Authorities funded scientists would get smaller grants if there was no local weather disaster. There are a billion causes to search out ‘world warming’ and none in any respect to search out pure cycles of climate that nobody can tax. The hapless researcher who finds that Australia has at all times been a land of droughts and flooding rains will discover themselves sacked for being non-collegial, known as a pariah and a local weather denier. Simply ask Peter Ridd.” [Boldface added]
Nova goes into particulars backing up her assertions then states:
“5 causes UAH [University of Alabama in Huntsville atmospheric temperature data] is completely different (higher) to the RSS [Remote Sensing Systems] world temperature estimates
- UAH agrees with hundreds of thousands of calibrated climate balloons launched around the globe. RSS now agrees extra with floor knowledge from gear positioned close to airports, concrete, air-conditioners and which is itself wildly adjusted.
- Within the newest changes UAH makes use of empirical comparisons from satellites that aren’t affected by diurnal drift to estimate the errors of these which are. RSS begins with mannequin estimates as an alternative.
- Two explicit satellites disagree with one another (NOAA-14 and 15). The UAH workforce take away the one they suppose is wrong. RSS retains each inconsistent measurements.
- Diurnal drift in all probability created synthetic warming within the RSS set previous to 2002 however created synthetic cooling after that. The brand new model of RSS retains the warming error earlier than 2002 however fixes the error after then. The upshot is a hotter general development.
- UAH makes use of a extra superior methodology with three channels. RSS continues to be utilizing the unique methodology Roy Spencer and John Christy developed with just one channel (which is seen from three angles).”
One doesn’t must be a scientist to know what bodily proof is vital and what’s not. See hyperlinks underneath Defending the Orthodoxy – Bandwagon Science.

Mathematical Absurdity: The Linear No Threshold Mannequin (LNT) for toxicity is widespread however doesn’t stand as much as testing. For instance, naturally occurring arsenic is poisonous, however it’s extensively utilized in medication for numerous illnesses. (Compounds of arsenic not containing carbon could also be extra poisonous than natural compounds (containing carbon)). The Dose-Response mannequin historically used is much better for figuring out toxicity than the LNT mannequin which will produce absurd outcomes – all arsenic is poisonous. That is medically illiterate.
The UN WHO and the European Atmosphere Company are following the EPA’s path of illiteracy. For instance, in accordance with experiences, the EEA claims that there have been “238,000 untimely deaths within the European Union in 2020”, these have been from matter smaller 2.5 microns, additionally “nitrogen dioxide (NO2) above the WHO’s advisable threshold led to 49,000 untimely deaths within the EU’, and “In response to the WHO, air air pollution causes seven million untimely deaths per 12 months worldwide, placing it on par with smoking or poor diets.”
Smoke “most cancers sticks” freely as a result of it’s no extra deadly than respiration contemporary air? See Speaking Higher to the Public – Make issues up.
*******************
Simply Mortgage the Cash: Maybe probably the most amusing remark about funding the claims that wealthy international locations ought to pay poor international locations for prospering got here from the Prime Minister of Barbados who instructed that the World Financial institution might simply mortgage the cash.
Like many different worldwide organizations, the World Financial institution has grown in energy, however not duty. It now can increase cash in monetary markets by promoting bonds to buyers. With no prospect of compensation, this might not final so long as FTX and its crypto foreign money. See hyperlink underneath Funding Points.

Variety of the Week: $1.1billion of $6 billion. For many years, California inexperienced politicians have tried to shut all nuclear energy in California and have succeeded in closing all however Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, which was scheduled to be decommissioned in two phases in 2024 and 2025, however in September lawmakers voted to maintain it open for 5 years. Most California politicians look like completely ignorant about the place dependable electrical energy is generated.
Approved by President Kennedy in 1961, the Pacific DC Intertie is a 3.1-gigawatt DC transmission line connecting the Los Angeles Division of Water and Energy with the Bonneville Energy Administration alongside the Columbia River in Oregon. The scheme is sensible. Within the winter, it delivers energy from the southwest US, when it’s not wanted, to the northwest when it’s wanted, lessening the burden on hydroelectric dams. In the summertime, when energy is required in southwestern US, the system is reversed. Dependable electrical energy from nuclear energy vegetation within the winter is critical for the scheme to work. Shutting off all nuclear energy would put Southern California in dire straits.
Regardless of actions of greens in opposition to nuclear and hydro, the Biden Administration will give Pacific Gasoline & Electrical Co. $1.1 Billion to maintain Diablo Canyon open. The brand new $550 billion Infrastructure Legislation accommodates $ 60 billion funding for 2023, and $6 billion is within the grants program for conserving nuclear energy vegetation open. – a worth taxpayers pay for presidency teenage pondering.

2. Biden Indicators Up for Local weather Reparations
The most recent shakedown is a brand new fund to pay poor international locations for supposed harm brought on by Western use of fossil fuels.
By The Editorial Board, WSJ, Nov. 20, 2022
https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-signs-up-for-climate-change-reparations-europe-fund-un-john-kerry-poor-countries-bank-capitalism-11668974219?mod=hp_opin_pos_1
TWTW Abstract: The editorial begins:
“The usage of local weather coverage to soak People retains getting worse, and the United Nation’s local weather convention in Egypt ended this weekend with settlement on a brand new fund to pay reparations to poor international locations. Welcome to the most recent local weather shakedown.
Poor international locations have lengthy sought to power rich international locations to pay for the “loss and harm” they undergo from pure disasters which are supposedly climate-related. That is separate from the $100 billion a 12 months that wealthy international locations have promised to assist poor international locations cut back emissions and adapt to local weather change.
The 2015 Paris accord instructed wealthy international locations compensate poor international locations for local weather harm—the rationale being that industrialization has elevated temperatures and led to pure disasters. Poor international locations lastly compelled dialogue of a proper mechanism to pay local weather reparations onto this 12 months’s U.N. convention agenda.
John Kerry, the U.S. local weather envoy, dismissed the concept earlier this month: “It’s a well known incontrovertible fact that america and plenty of different international locations won’t set up . . . some kind of authorized construction that’s tied to compensation or legal responsibility. That’s simply not taking place.” However on Thursday Europe deserted the U.S. by proposing a deal, and Mr. Kerry rolled over.
Rich international locations will now arrange a fund to cowl local weather harm for the least developed international locations—i.e., not China or middle-income nations. This will likely be financed from “a broad donor base” and “mosaic of options,” similar to worldwide improvement banks and taxes on aviation, transport and fossil fuels.
Europe hopes this can induce poor international locations to cut back emissions to fulfill the Paris goal of limiting world warming to 1.5 levels Celsius in comparison with pre-industrial ranges. The world has already warmed by 1.1 levels, and a U.N. report final month estimated temperatures would rise 1.8 levels even when Western international locations meet their “net-zero” objectives.
However China emits two-thirds extra CO2 than Europe and the U.S. mixed. Coal accounts for 60% of China’s energy technology, and extra new coal vegetation are set for approval by way of 2025 than the complete current U.S. fleet. China says it wants extra coal energy for vitality safety and, in contrast to Europe and the U.S., it received’t commit local weather suicide.”
The editorial continues by saying that prosperity has benefited all, some greater than others, however common prosperity is ignored by the IPCC and its followers.7
