One of the great obstacles the scientific community faces is their lack of ability to successfully communicate the science behind global warming to the public. The media often twists it out of proportion, both from extremist and "skeptic" perspectives (which is a euphemism for denial). <br /><br />This is an op-ed piece... I am intending to express my thoughts on global warming as it is perceived by the American public. And it's not a matter of "supporting" AGW... it's a matter of science. Do you "support" the notion that the moon revolves around the Earth?Charlie Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714553915658896340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199276181266004435.post-78010937129445339012015-04-03T12:10:44.029-07:002015-04-03T12:10:44.029-07:00This entry makes me disappointed in the abilities ...This entry makes me disappointed in the abilities of the blogger to separate science from his own obvious political and cultural bias. Inflammatory language, needling, and baiting based in opinion, assumptions, and possibly projection, do not belong in the realm of serious science. Emotional Intelligence appears to be a crucial element that zealous AGW supporters, including this budding scientist/blogger has left at the door, every bit as much as those he mocks for not accepting AGW as gospel and settled science. <br /><br />Science as a profession can trace its roots to those rare individuals who dared to question the motives of authoritarians enshrining a particular viewpoint as the only publicly acceptable one. Skepticism and curiosity drive people to look deeper for answers rather than readily and often blindly accepting evidence as presented and the theory as intended. <br /><br />In regard to AGW, this becomes especially true when significant elements of scientific data collected throughout the West have been compromised (intentionally adjusted) in order to support and secure the funding driving the research behind the hypothesis of Anthropogentic Global Warming/Climate Change/Climate Disruption. When scientists willfully compromise the integrity of their data it leaves all data and scientific conclusions open to question.<br /><br />It is no more comforting for the public at large to see scientists transform themselves into technocrats and crawl into bed with politicians and world governments than it is to see the oligarchs who have made their obscene fortunes through the oil, coal, and mining dependent technologies turn Representative Democracies into neo-Fascist oligarchies where dictated regulations by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, are vigorously enforced with the threat of force and at the point of a gun by same unelected bureaucratic agency.<br /><br />When in doubt, the most logical path for the skeptical public is to follow the money as to who has the most wealth/power to gain by the implementation of the greatest Ponzi scheme perpetrated upon the people at a global level: carbon taxation. Hint: it is not the people most affected by such taxation and regulations.<br /><br />Scientists who have the ability to divorce ego driven arrogance from the commentary of their research results should, rather than attacking those who dare to question and mocking them as some kind of 14th century heretic by labeling those who dare question their conclusions as deniers, acknowledge skepticism as a challenge that they have not yet presented convincing supporting evidence.<br /><br />AGW is seem by some skeptics as a highly egocentric hypothesis attempting to prove that humans haveexponentially more influence and control over the vast systems of this planet and its surrounding atmosphere than would seem, well, humanly possible. Sadly, even the geological scientific community's announcement that they have determined we entered the new era of the Anthropocene was largely a politically driven labeling endeavor to lend long sought legitimacy for the theory of AGW. <br /><br />Until this blogger and other scientists are able to divorce their work from their funding, social, and political ideological leanings, and stop seeking a seat at the table of power through the promotion of technocratic totalitarianism, their hypothesis and conclusions will remain open to public skepticism, challenges, and even public disdain. <br /><br />My best advice to this blogger/budding scientist is to remove the timber out of his own eye and make the case against the rotten elements within his intended profession before attacking those on the outside. Look inward at what the scientific community has done to reap such skepticism and public disdain. <br /><br />Beyond knowledge seek wisdom and always accept accountability when scientific results are challenged. <br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199276181266004435.post-87367416161171197142015-04-02T11:20:10.106-07:002015-04-02T11:20:10.106-07:00Dan, if you wanted to show that sunspot cycles wer...Dan, if you wanted to show that sunspot cycles were having a large impact on global temperatures, you should have looked at biases, not correlation coefficients.Charlie Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714553915658896340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199276181266004435.post-39733053613485145532015-04-02T10:44:10.187-07:002015-04-02T10:44:10.187-07:00The easy rebuttal to sunspots driving warming sinc...The easy rebuttal to sunspots driving warming since the Industrial Revolution is that variations in incoming solar radiation due to sunspot cycles (which have a frequency of 11 years, or so) are minuscule about 0.2 W/m2, whereas the observed warming could only be explained by an increase in solar radiation of 1.5-2 W/m2.
