Dr. Roy Spencer - USAToday | Hurricane Florence is not climate change or global warning. It's just the weather.
Hurricane Florence is not the result of global warming. It's likely due to natural weather patterns, not climate change as some have already said.

Dr. Curry | 1.5 degrees C
The IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C is now published.
A.k.a. the moving the goalpost exercise.

The MSM has been even more histrionic than usual in its misreporting.

More gloom and doom for insects under climate change:

Hopefully there's a random blog out there that will quickly act to correct that record and tear down the study for overestimating dead bugs in Puerto Rico.

Climate change. Is there anything that it is not responsible for?

There may be an decrease in the insect population.

However, insects first evolved about 412 million years ago. And have not only survived, but thrived, over much hotter and much cooler eras than the temperate one we are fortunate to be currently enjoying.

What about all the insects that eat other insects? Not to mention birds, bears, bats, frogs, anteaters, skunks, etc.

Has anyone confronted them? What is their role in this crises?

We don't put up with people eating other people, nor do we let cows eat other cows!

time for an intervention?

The last sentence was revealing. "One of the challenges of this issue it taking what the scientists say and turning it into something believable....."

On Thursday, a friend commented on the apparently short fall we are having, and sarcastically said to a larger audience "But scientists who warn of climate change are wrong aren't they?"

I laughed and said that I've seen 20 degrees of change per day, 80 degrees per each year, and 5 degrees of instantaneous climate change over a distance of 20 feet during my life. Then issued my famous challenge of asking them to get an accurate thermometer and try to measure the temperature of one room in their house to a tenth of a degree.

As always, they respond with the dead fish look.

I remember years ago a video of an African doctor who ran a small hospital. He needed electricity but the complaint was the Europeans were refusing to help finance one because of global warming. They only agreed to solar power. The hospital was given a solar installation that could power the medicine refrigerator or a light bulb. But not both.

Just as climate change scientists predicted, the effects on California has been devastating in the past decade, with yearly fire storms getting ever more numerous, stronger, and more blood thirsty for human property and lives:

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-m ... story.html

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-m ... story.html

10-15 years ago, one of the key, eminently falsifiable, predictions by the climate change "theory" is that Californian firestorms will be worse and more frequent in the coming decades. This has been proven correct, much to the dismay of the ever dwindling climate change "skeptic" community.

So why haven't the "smart people" who believe in "Climate Change" moved out of California? My very basic knowledge of physics keeps me from building a house on train tracks.

Does Al Gore still own ocean front property?

"Climate scientist" has become an oxymoron.

History of Californai wildfires

1/ The legacy of over enthusiastic fire suppression interfering with the natural cycle of fire and regeneration leading to a buildup of biomass for future megafires

2/ Calif govt encouraged construction of homes and towns in at-risk areas with no thought given to firebreaks

3/ Use of highly inflammable materials, with low ignition temperatures, in construction.

'We Really Muffed The Error Margins': Global Warming Report Rendered Worthless After Scientists Point Out Flaw In Ocean-Warming Survey

[...] The paper, published October 31 in the scientific journal Nature, suggested ocean temperatures have risen roughly 60 percent higher than estimated by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But, after errors in the authors’ methodology were identified, they realized their findings were roughly in line with those of the IPPC, after all.

The researchers’ alarming findings were uncritically reported by numerous mainstream-media outlets but Nic Lewis, a mathematician and popular critic of the consensus on man-made climate change, quickly identified errors.

[…]

Ralph Keeling, a climate scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography who co-authored the paper, said he and his partner, Laure Resplandy of Princeton, quickly realized the implications of their mistake once Lewis pointed it out.

[…]

After correcting their mistake, Keeling said their research indicates oceans are warming only slightly faster than previously thought, not dramatically faster as they initially reported. Keeling said the miscalculation was made when they were calculating their margin of error, which had a larger range (10 to 70 percent) than they initially believed.

“Our error margins are too big now to really weigh in on the precise amount of warming that’s going on in the ocean,” Keeling said. “We really muffed the error margins.”
