1 You guys sure are on fire, post-wise,  for a Sunday.

2 I like Maslin's comment that intelligent people agree that AGW is real.  Is it his assertion that people who disagree with him are less than intelligent?

Such elitism!

3 "Is it his assertion that people who disagree with him are less than intelligent?"

No, he's asserting they aren't people.

4 It's not AGW, it's Mann-made GW.

5 Such elitism!

8 Ace: "That he does not now even acknowledge that there are valid scientific arguments against his dogma does not demonstrate that he is any less of a man."

Actually, I think it does demonstrate he's less of a man. He's throwing an intellectual tantrum equivalent to sticking his fingers in his ears and saying, "La la la la I can't and won't hear you."

12 There's a you tube video of a skeptical scientist having an apparent heart attack at a debate.  Haven't been following this but he is a young guy in the video  It looks like he was shot but matt drudge says he had a heart attack.

13 I keep thinking these guys see themselves as the priests of science. Only they can understand the holy books. They will show us pictures to explain what we could not possibly understand on our own. Anyone who questions the interpretation is seen as a heretic.

Mann-made GW

Nice.

16 Here is a great quote that highlights how their reaction reveals their guilt.

Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: “My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing.” That is the tone of innocence.

#9  Snow in Australia

The same region also had summer snow in December 2004 but apparently none of that matters when you have a bandwagon to jump on and declare 2000s as the warmest decade.

When this whole edifice crumbles, and it will, the greatest harm will not have been inflicted on the economy, politics or the media but on science itself.  People will have lost confidence in pure science.

33

Stolen from a comment at WUWT..

.............................................

Whilst the greenhouse effect is generally thought of as heating earths environment, it is more accurate to describe it as preventing the environment from cooling. There is a critical difference.
If the effects of the atmosphere results in preventing the loss of heat, then surely the most accurate means to judge itÂ’s effectiveness, and any changes that occur over time, is to monitor the lowest average temperatures.

..............................................

 

does it seem to anyone but me that things have been cooling down a bit lately? If it's been cooling any at all,  this throws the whole GHG shit right out the window.

 

34 When AGW is proven bullshit beyond a shadow of a doubt, I'd like to know how many years of prison we are going to assign to pieces of shit like this "Professor" for leading to global hysteria.  I for one would not be against a Maddof style sentencing.

Congratulations for making a complete mockery of your profession, "professor" aka Religious Zealot.

35 People will have lost confidence in pure science. Posted by: Decaf at December 13, 2009 06:45 PM (BoFBr) I would like to point out that science doesn't need confidence, it just needs to answer the questions correctly. Genuine Peer-Reviewed Consensus Science, on the other hand . . .

36 Why are we still writing about this? Didn't you see the AP story from yesterday? They claim that their "reporters" read all of the emails in question and that everything is just fine. There's not even the slightest hint of them changing data or making stuff up so just move along now.

---------------------
Decaf, I think our biggest order of business will be to defeat their defense: "We may have been wrong, but we had only the noblest of intentions."

Of course, their intentions were not noble, and that can be shown by their lies, but they'll still argue it to death.

At best, they were well-intentioned boobs, while we were well-intentioned smart people. We all looked at the same evidence, and they got it wrong while we got it right. So we have the right to retire them and then take over. World, who ya gonna believe?

38 no matter how long i keep a beer in the fridge it doesn't get any colder. i then move it to the freezer and voila!

40 I wuv how the pwofessor talks.  He sounds just like me. 

41

I believe that confidence is the major issue because it drives the political process and public funding.  If people don't believe scientists they will not vote for politicians who fund their works. 

I am trying to clarify this to myself, whether I mean confidence or confidence trick.  The AGW has been, and is, a confidence trick.

42

The same region also had summer snow in December 2004 but apparently none of that matters when you have a bandwagon to jump on and declare 2000s as the warmest decade.

And record-setting cold in southern South America the past few years. I don't recall about record setting, but cold in South Africa too. Snowfall in Tokyo (the most recent one was in the '70s when it was used as evidence of the manmade-pollution-caused, upcoming Ice Age). And snow in the Mideast, including Iraq, just last winter IIRC. And, as we already know from NASA trying to cover it up, North America has had much colder winters for the past few years, at least, too.

43 There's a simple way to confront scientists in the AGW camp: ask them

1) Have you personally reviewed the scientific literature used in support of the AGW hypothesis?
2) Are you willing to put your personal reputation on the line by vouching for these works and the conclusions drawn from them?

44 These Global Warming Fraud Deniers are worse than Josef Goebbels Nazi Propaganda Machine.  They lost too BTW.

58 Even more notable, Maslin is a social scientist (geography), not a natural scientist. The mathematical rigor in my finance graduate program far exceeds what a social science program will encounter, especially in post-graduate statistics (e.g. stochastic calculus).

Now I'm certainly not one to exclude discourse, but if Maslin wants to resort to a "biggest dick" contest, he's not likely to appreciate the outcome. Next we'll have social work majors telling us they're experts on global warming...

Per Alexa it looks like Chucky's numbers are gonna end up considerably lower than before he had his little temper tantrum and disowned the right. Seems like he may have shed the rest of his independent and conservative readers.

Doesn't look like his little gamble is gonna pay off. I guess he'll have to find a new way to make a spectacle of himself to line his pockets.

60 and to "out-social science" the social scientist Maslin, he needs to do some study on Foucault's conceptualization of discursive power systems. The Church of the AGW is entirely a product consistent with Foucault's criticism, and the utter distortion and corruption of truth an expected product.

That Maslin is inept in either Serresian category of Ju-Piter (natural science vs. social sciences, as differentiated through Kant and Enlightenment philosophy and predominates our systems of higher education), the real relevance of Maslin's discourse is that he's another fraud in a rotten system about to be destroyed by history's positive force.

Enjoy! We're clearly living through a fascinating time in history where the fraud of "science as exclusive owner of all rational thought" is now exposed and before the public.

How about coating them in barbeque sauce and dropping them in the Everglades?

64 ". . . the key is that every single intelligent person, every key politician in the world, listens to the key scientists, they actually look at the data."

This reminds me of a hypnotist who for many years had a very successful nightclub act in my town.  His success hinged on a single statement he made at the beginning of every show:  "The more intelligent you are, the easier it is for you to hypnotized".  Of course none of the volunteers who came up on stage wanted to be pegged as stupid, so he pretty much had his way with them.

65 "Snowfall in Tokyo (the most recent one was in the '70s when it was used as evidence of the manmade-pollution-caused, upcoming Ice Age)."

That can't be right.  It snows in Tokyo pretty much every year.  Maybe it was Nagasaki or some other city?

66

You know, I kinda feel a little sorry for Maslin (but only a bit).  He feels like he is arguing with the equivalent of a 9/11 truther.  From his point of view, neither logic nor reason can penetrate Morano's skull so yeah, he just gives up and calls him an uneducated idiot.  Maslin and Morano live in two completely different worlds.  Maslin lives in the ivory tower world of academe where all of his friends are sophisticated liberal do-gooder environmentalists who fret and worry about their carbon footprint.  Morano lives in the down-to-earth world along with the rest of us.

67 Scientist? The dumb piece of shit is a geographer.

But, but the University of Bristol gave him a BSc in the traditional liberal arts field of geography, would not that alone make him a scientist?

/

68 #66, do you really think he thinks we are truthers?  I think that gives this guy too much credit.  Truthers exist in the realm of conspiracy.  We have hard facts to point to (or the fact that there are no facts).

This guy is far worse than a "truther denier."  He is much more like the demons who were able to visit the West, and still insist that the Soviet Union was the real good guy.

69 Maslin's teaching schedule is hilarious: he works in the global warming racket in nearly every course. And then there's his publications:  a bunch of kiddie books (for the 8-12 year old reader) on natural disasters and then a slew of global warming religion books for general audiences. Look through all of his journal articles and you'll get a better understanding for why geography gets such a bad rep, especially when its teachers masquerade as geologists.

The studying of maps makes some think they're seeing underlying patterns and systems; a financial analog is that of the technical analyst aka chartist. These poor fools follow financial charts and trends (of a statistical random walk) and apply astrological methods to forecasting the future. Amusingly, that a sufficient population of deluded fools believes in such financial market behavior, a sufficient presence of its illusion materializes from time to time, only reinforcing the misguided. Unfortunately, the real analog is akin to the movie A Beautiful Mind, where the maps, charts and patterns were little more than random scraps of paper taped to the walls. I'm certain Maslin believes his scraps of paper and is convinced his maps are the Oracle's entrails, warning of the pending planetary incineration.

But for the rest of us, we only see a confused and deranged fool. God help those in academia who have been misled and have anchored their careers to this myth, as some of us will show no mercy as the system is dismantled.

70 O/T:  The HBO special Terror in Mumbai is on CNN tonight.  My God how I've come to detest that religion...about as much as I hate the AGW cult.

#66, do you really think he thinks we are truthers? 

No, but I think he believes we are the mental equivalent - impervious to "reason" (i.e. his established science).

72 First thing I notice about Maslin's CV is that he seems to have a lot of financial interests tied to carbon regulation.

73 The memory is fuzzy, but in Church doesn't the Priest or Pastor say something like, "This is the Word of the Lord" and the rest respond in some proper fashion? These AGW "Scientists" seem to expect such a scenario when they open their yaps. If you've ever heard a lecture from a scientist who does good work and also happens to have some humility (they go hand-in-hand, actually), you are certain to have felt a very different vibe.

74

72 First thing I notice about Maslin's CV is that he seems to have a lot of financial interests tied to carbon regulation.

Me too.  This is the dirty little secret of academic science in general.  Nobody looks over their shoulder so they do whatever they want, including intentionally creating conflicts of interest.

75 What I find interesting is that these AGW Sciencytists, who swear that the "Science is settled" and we common people should just have blind faith in the cult of AGW, are the first people who declare religious folks who have faith in God to be "gullible rubes."

76 Actually, I really liked the misspelling of "Scientist" in the post title.  We need another word for what these morons call "science".  And following the left-wing paradigm for renaming "woman" to "womyn", I nominate "Scyence" and "Scyentyst" as the new words for the pagan rituals these fools subscribe to.

87 "Science as rank obedience. Reminds me of the "science" of Marxist thought." Marx at least claimed to believe in the scientific method. These people have no more connection to science than medieval theologians debating how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

88 Whatever this Maslin's pedigree is (I'm not in a position to judge), one could certainly be compromised for a lot less than he got to be an AGW advocate - $40 million or so. 

What I find interesting is the debate that's going on among the physicists.  The national group which represents physicists issued a position paper in 2007 supporting AGW.  Now a number of them, many of whom are eminent, have requested that this position paper be reviewed and put on ice for the time being.  (Unfortunately, the guy who was appointed to study it has gotten millions in AGW grants.)  So some really high IQ scientists are questioning AGW.  Are they stupid, too?

A simple search engine doesn't show much on this Professor Maslin, so I cannot tell what sort of geographer he purports to be. Please be aware, engineers, that there are several fields that have "geography" in their title. Political and "human" geographers do a kind of statistical survey work, and probably do belong over in that much-despised elective category.

But physical geography is hard science. It includes soil science, the geology of land formation, and meteorology. Now, those studies can be misapplied or done poorly--like engineering--but they are scientific studies, not map-gazing. 

Engineers always seem to be particularly touchy about whether other professions are "science" or not. Why? You may well wonder.

Well yeah, of course. As I noted, it was just a casual aside. Like noticing his tone of nasal mewling condescension, it's just a matter of personal style, not any sort of scientific issue. Give a guy a break, will you?

 I wasn't expressing skepticism at his argument that AGW is proven by the alleged existence of a flying wedge of scientists marching in consensus somewhere out there, nor the arguments that it's proven because he is smarter than his critics and has been arguing for a certain number of years. And I certainly had no intention of impugning his relevant expertise or technical training. No, I didn't do any of that until right now.

 

 

103 Hard to believe I missed this Nov 2009 CATO Institute reference to Foucault:

Though the CATO post is more specific to the left's link to Foucault's criticism in its application of governmentality to the health care takeover, it's equally relevant in the capitalism takeover aka AGW treaties, scientific discourse and related applications of discursive power.

That the post-modern criticism of Foucault, Deleuze, Zizek, Lacan, etc. (many of which are Marx-influenced) links most specifically to the practices of the globalist Left is most amusing.

 The oil for food UN scam was abetted by Mr. Maurice. He had 2 Liberal Prime ministers in on the take. After investigation, all were  exonerated, by Liberal appointed ethics commissioners.

 Now, Mr. Strong is a big negotiator for the UN. I can smell his dealings from here. This assssshole should be doing time with Bernie Maddow.
