From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest Post By Willis Eschenbach<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I wrote before about my time in real-world jail. The court said I was guilty of \u201cDisturbing the Peace\u201d, but we called it \u201cDisturbing the War<\/a>\u201c. Like most things in my life, it\u2019s a curious story \u2026 but I digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, I\u2019m now in Twitter jail. Here\u2019s what will likely be my last post on Twitter for a while \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

You\u2019d think that after forty years or so of intense study of climate, there would be agreement on the major facts of the field \u2026 but noooo \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are global temperatures from Berkeley Earth, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, and the Japan Meteorological Agency.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So \u2026 are we on the verge of reaching 1.5\u00b0C?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s the history of estimates of \u201cclimate sensitivity\u201d. This is the central number in the debate, the change in temperature expected from a doubling of CO2. Not only is there no agreement \u2026 the spread has gotten larger over time. I discuss this in a post\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite the models having estimates of climate sensitivity that are all over the map, they all can do a tolerable job of hindcasting the past \u2026 which conclusively proves they cannot be \u201cphysics based\u201d. I discuss this in a post called \u201c<\/em>Dr. Kiehl\u2019s Paradox<\/a>\u201c.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And on that ludicrously shaky \u201cscientific\u201d basis, they want to totally redo the global economic, electrical, & energy systems at immense cost, while doing huge damage to the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is, this whole movement has nothing to do with climate. They don\u2019t even try to hide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most arrogant, least scientifically supported naked power grabs in history. Don\u2019t buy into it. They don\u2019t have your best interests at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay well, enjoy this marvelous world, laugh at the lunatics running the asylum \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In friendship,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I went to bed last night, and woke up to find that I\u2019d been suspended from Twitter, ostensibly for a Tweet I made back in May.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I responded to their \u201csupport team\u201d as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Dear friends at Twitter, I fear I\u2019ve been greatly misunderstood. I have NOT violated the Twitter rules against advocating violence. I\u2019ve been suspended for the following tweet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

===<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see that James Comer is going to \u201ctake steps\u201d against the FBI for concealing evidence of Biden corruption. Steps? Here\u2019s my simple 3-step plan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Fire every single person working for the FBI.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Burn the FBI building to the ground.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Salt the earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

===<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guys, this was said in humor. It is SATIRE. My apologies if you, or perhaps your algorithms, took it seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course I am not suggesting that we that literally we burn down the FBI building and \u201csalt the earth\u201d. I was merely frustrated by the FBI getting away with crimes for which you and I would be jailed for a long period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And note, even in satire, I didn\u2019t advocate violence against any person. I thought that the last line would make my satirical intent clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean really, when is the last time that anyone actually \u201csalted the earth\u201d? 2,000 years ago? Surely you cannot believe that that was meant to be serious?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I guess you can believe that, but you would be 110% wrong. I am a peaceful man, I don\u2019t wish harm on anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ask you to lift this totally improper and unjustified suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I signed up for Twitter Blue to support Elon in his attempts to have a place where people are free to speak their minds, and I politely request you to allow innocent satire such as my tweet to flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My best to you all, and thanks for your work to keep Twitter afloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

w.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Was I actually suspended for a satirical tweet, or for my very popular posts on the climate scam? We\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, I ask everyone who has a Twitter account, please Tweet to @elonmusk to protest this most unwarranted suspension. My Twitter handle is @weschenbach, and their actions are simply wrong. Please link to this post when you tweet a request for my reinstatement, so that folks can understand the issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grrrr \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regards to everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[UPDATE]<\/strong> This morning, after writing the above, I got the following reply from the Twitter folks, sent at 8.59 AM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hello,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We received your request to have your account reinstated. We are reviewing a high volume of requests and appreciate your patience as it may take longer than normal for us to get back to you with an outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this request is for an account reinstatement under our new criteria, please allow 5-7 days for us to review and respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twitter<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

OK, fair enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I got the following, sent 19 minutes later \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hello,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your account was suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service. After reviewing for reinstatement your account will not be restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twitter<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

19 minutes, after telling me how jammed up they are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m getting the feeling that someone in the Twitter lowerarchy doesn\u2019t like me, and\/or that they\u2019re using AI rather than humans \u2026 please Tweet to protest this nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
