From Science Matters <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"The advertising proverb says it all: \u201cThe large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Unfortunately, climate science is rife with this. A research announcement is released and the same text appears in media articles everywhere, the only difference being who can attach the scariest headline. One list of things claimed to be caused by global warming numbers 883, including many head scratchers. By 2012, the warmlist at numberwatch.co.uk had the better part of a thousand links to claims of disaster linked to \u201cclimate change.\u201d The author of the website stopped adding links because the project was taking too much time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: species extinctions.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

WWF claims \u201cThe rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. MSNBC laments the \u201cfact\u201d that 100,000 species of flora and fauna will no longer be with us by next Christmas. And yet, WWF also estimates the number of identified unique species to be between 1.4 to 1.8 million, an uncertainty of 400,000. As someone said, \u201cAnytime extinctions are claimed, ask for the names.\u201d The debunking is done in detail here<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Example: Extreme Weather<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Now an article published in the Australian does the fine print analysis regarding extreme weather events.  Logic leaves \u2018The Science\u2019 of climate in the dust  <\/strong><\/a>Thanks to John Ray for providing the text at his blog, excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the gag order<\/strong> of the pseudo eco-scholar: \u201cThe Science is settled.\u201d<\/strong> This is not science as we once understood it. In that discipline something could be proved false through observation and experiment. No, this is \u201cThe Science\u201d: science as deity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 20th century Karl Popper transformed the philosophy of science<\/strong> around the idea of falsifiability,<\/strong> saying: \u201cIt must be possible for an empirical scientific system to be refuted by experience.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first rule in Popper\u2019s The Logic of Scientific Discovery is: \u201cThe game of science is, in principle, without end<\/strong>. He who decides one day that scientific statements do not call for any further test, and that they can be regarded as finally verified, retires from the game.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you can spend a lifetime counting white swans, but find one black one and the thesis that all swans are white is destroyed.<\/strong> The black swan event happened when Europeans first encountered the impossible animal in Australia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prove one assumption wrong and a whole set of conclusions collapses.<\/strong> The Science is not real science. It is a set of beliefs, a faith. Those who demand we agree it\u2019s settled are no different from a Catholic bishop<\/strong> declaring: \u201cRoma locuta est; causa finita est\u201d \u2013 Rome has spoken; the cause is finished.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The zealots<\/strong> who invoke The Science as a gag order have never read the research or wilfully ignore its infuriating uncertainty<\/strong>. This uncountably large group includes<\/strong> battalions of politicians, academics, activists, journalists and a few dozen billionaire energy-hobbyist carpetbaggers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case in Poiint: Claim Global Warming is Causing More Extreme Weather<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Take the deeply entrenched belief that global warming is causing more extreme weather. This is so ubiquitous as to be unquestioned. It is an article of faith<\/strong> and there is almost no weather event nowadays<\/strong> that does not come with a blizzard of declarations it is proof of climate change.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among myriad examples, let\u2019s pick Tropical Cyclone Jasper,<\/strong> which hit far north Queensland in December. It dumped a massive amount of rain<\/strong> and none of what follows denies the fact it caused great damage and suffering.<\/strong> In its wake the Red Cross<\/strong> released an Instagram video declaring \u201cDisasters like Ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper<\/strong> in Far North Queensland are happening more often due to climate change\u201d<\/strong>. Greenpeace<\/strong> called it a \u201cfrightening portent<\/strong> of what\u2019s to come under climate change\u201d. The Climate Council warned<\/strong> \u201cclimate change is making (tropical cyclones) more destructive\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this is true.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If The Science of global warming<\/strong> has a bible<\/strong> then surely it must be the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report Climate Change 2021<\/strong>: The Physical Science Basis. It is the latest accumulation of all the best research and it runs to a mind-numbing 2391 pages.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cyclones<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On page 1586<\/strong> it says: \u201c(Tropical cyclone) landfall frequency over Australia<\/strong> shows a decreasing trend<\/strong> in Eastern Australia since the 1800s, as well as in other parts of Australia since 1982. A paleoclimate proxy reconstruction shows that recent levels<\/strong> of (tropical cyclone) interactions along parts of the Australian coastline are the lowest in the past 550-1500 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pause on that.<\/strong> Not only does observation show there are fewer cyclones since the industrial revolution<\/strong> began belching extra carbon dioxide<\/strong> into the atmosphere, there is evidence to suggest cyclone activity<\/strong> in Australia is at its lowest<\/strong> ebb since<\/strong> the days of the Tang dynasty and the decline of the Western Roman Empire.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CSIRO echoes that finding<\/strong> in its State of the Climate Report 2022 and adds: \u201cThe trend in cyclone intensity in the Australian region is harder to quantify than cyclone frequency, due to uncertainties in estimating the intensity<\/strong> of individual cyclones and the relatively small number of intense cyclones.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Droughts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What of droughts? The IPCC finds southwestern Australia has been drying out<\/strong> since the 1950s and there is evidence that the length of droughts in southeastern Australia<\/strong> has \u201cincreased significantly\u201d. But it says \u201cthe Millennium drought in eastern Australia was not unusual<\/strong> in the context of natural variability reconstructed over the past millennium\u201d and concludes \u201cthere is currently low confidence that recent droughts in eastern Australia can be clearly attributed to human influence\u201d (p1089).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, on page 1663, it says there is low confidence in observed trends, or projected changes<\/strong>, to droughts in central and eastern Australia<\/strong> as the climate warms. In northern Australia<\/strong> there is medium confidence of<\/strong> a \u201cdecrease in the frequency and intensity of meteorological droughts\u201d. So, more rain<\/strong> for the Top End then.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

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

The report notes the major drivers of drought in Australia as well-known natural climate events<\/strong>: \u201cDuring the last millennium, the combined effect of a positive (Indian Ocean Dipole) and El Nino conditions have caused severe droughts over Australia\u201d (p1104).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bushfires<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What of bushfires? \u201cExtreme conditions, like the 2019 Australian bushfires and African flooding, have been associated with strong positive (Indian Ocean Dipole) conditions\u201d (p1104).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, in case you were wondering, \u201cThere is no evidence of a trend in the Indian Ocean Dipole<\/strong> mode and associated anthropogenic forcing\u201d and \u201cThe amplitude of the El Nino\u2013Southern Oscillation<\/strong> variability has increased since 1950 but there is no clear evidence of human influence\u201d (p1104).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World is Warming But Not in Crisis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear. There is plenty of evidence in the IPCC report demonstrating the climate is changing, that the world and Australia are getting warmer,<\/strong> and that industrial activity has played a part in forcing some of it. We should take that seriously. In response Australia should do its proportionate share<\/strong> in cutting greenhouse gas emissions without destroying our local ecology or impoverishing the nation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here is the good news: we are not facing a climate Armageddon.<\/strong> Again, this is not just my view<\/strong> but one shared by British professor Jim Skea, who was appointed chairman of the IPCC last year.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe world won\u2019t end if it warms by more than 1.5 degrees,\u201d<\/strong> Skea told German weekly magazine Der Spiegel last year. \u201cIt will however be a more dangerous world<\/strong>. Countries will struggle with many problems, there will be social tensions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

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

Skea worries the zealots are doing their cause a grave disservice.<\/strong> \u201cIf you constantly communicate the message that we are all doomed<\/strong> to extinction, then that paralyses people and prevents them from taking the necessary steps<\/strong> to get a grip on climate change,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it is also designed to<\/strong> do is scare people out of questioning absurd statements and bad policies.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here there is another assault on reason by ideologues.<\/strong> In this game of witch burning, questioning a policy response to global warming is evidence of the crime of climate change denial<\/strong>. Their argument can be expressed as a syllogism<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premise 1: Climate change is real.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premise 2: Renewable energy combats climate change.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: Therefore, to question renewable energy is to deny climate change.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the logical fallacy of a false dichotomy;<\/strong> it ignores the possibility of neutrality or nuance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But logic, like science, has long since departed
in this debate. This is all about faith.<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resources<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

On this blog, Science Matters, several posts address specific misleading and exaggerated claims made in the media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPCC the Worst Offender<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the IPCC Assessment Reports display the worst abuse of headline claims denied by statements in the details. The headlines are in the Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) while scientists write the details in the Working Group reports, in particular WGII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see again a familiar pattern in the latest AR5 round of IPCC releases. As previously, the SPM features alarming statements, which are then second-guessed (undermined) by the actual science imbedded in the report details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example Ocean Acidification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For example, I looked at the topic of ocean acidification and fish productivity. The SPM asserts on Page 17 that fish habitats and production will fall and that ocean acidification threatens marine ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOpen-ocean net primary production is projected to redistribute and, by 2100, fall globally under all RCP scenarios. Climate change adds to the threats of over-fishing and other non-climatic stressors, thus complicating marine management regimes (high confidence).\u201d Pg 17 SPM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor medium- to high-emission scenarios (RCP4.5, 6.0, and 8.5), ocean acidification poses substantial risks to marine ecosystems, especially polar ecosystems and coral reefs, associated with impacts on the physiology, behavior, and population dynamics of individual species from phytoplankton to animals (medium to high confidence).\u201d Pg 17 SPM<\/p>\n\n\n

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

WGII Report, Chapter 6 covers Ocean Systems. There we find more nuance and objectivity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFew field observations conducted in the last decade demonstrate biotic responses attributable to anthropogenic ocean acidification\u201d pg 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDue to contradictory observations there is currently uncertainty about the future trends of major upwelling systems and how their drivers (enhanced productivity, acidification, and hypoxia) will shape ecosystem characteristics (low confidence).\u201d Pg 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoth acclimatization and adaptation will shift sensitivity thresholds but the capacity and limits of species to acclimatize or adapt remain largely unknown\u201d Pg 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProduction, growth, and recruitment of most but not all non-calcifying
seaweeds also increased at CO2 levels from 700 to 900 \u00b5atm Pg 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cContributions of anthropogenic ocean acidification to climate-induced alterations in the field have rarely been established and are limited to observations in individual species\u201d Pg. 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo date, very few ecosystem-level changes in the field have been attributed to anthropogenic or local ocean acidification.\u201d Pg 39<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Ocean Chemistry on the Record<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrast the IPCC headlines with the the Senate Testimony of John T. Everett, in which he said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no reliable observational evidence of negative trends that can be traced definitively to lowered pH of the water. . . Papers that herald findings that show negative impacts need to be dismissed if they used acids rather than CO2 to reduce alkalinity, if they simulated CO2 values beyond triple those of today, while not reporting results at concentrations of half, present, double and triple, or as pointed out in several studies, they did not investigate adaptations over many generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the oceans, major climate warming and cooling and pH (ocean pH about 8.1) changes are a fact of life, whether it is over a few years as in an El Ni\u00f1o, over decades as in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or the North Atlantic Oscillation, or over a few hours as a burst of upwelling (pH about 7.59-7.8) appears or a storm brings acidic rainwater (pH about 4-6) into an estuary.\u201d

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many know of the Latin phrase \u201ccaveat emptor,\u201d meaning \u201cLet the buyer beware\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to climate science, remember also \u201ccaveat lector\u201d\u2013\u201dLet the reader beware\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
