Some Failed Climate Predictions

My daughter who has lived in Texas for the past 14 years was promoted and transferred back here by her employer about a year and a half ago. She called yesterday to tell me that she thought it was raining - until she saw that the "raindrops were bouncing" when they hit the ground! She then asked me to remind her again why she ever left Texas! :lamo :lamo

Disaster
[h=1]Reality check: Global Weather Related Disaster Losses[/h]There’s a belief among alarmists that losses from weather related disasters is on the rise, and this it yet another reason why we have to “take action now”. For example, in an article by the New York Times, 2017 Set a Record for Losses From Natural Disasters. It Could Get Worse they state Insured losses…
 
They don't get paid to be accurate.

Clearly not. If they were, say some competition for accuracy, they'd have a trending of becoming more accurate, but this seems to be missing.
 
either the saudis or big oil is paying you. which one?

Apparently you are one of those benefiting from AGW grants or book deals. Which one?

Opinion
[h=1]Did official climatology know its predictions were nonsense?[/h]Guest opinion by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley In this series, we have demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt, that after correction of the giant error of physics by which official climatology defined feedbacks in such a way as to exclude or misallocate the large feedback response to emission temperature, global warming in response to doubled CO2 will…
 
I read through this thread to see that warmists NOT ONCE addressed the content of the first post. It seems they have no counter to make against the well documented prediction/projection failures.

Carry on.

Must mean that The Guardian, Skeptical Science, Real Climate, or Common Dreams hasn't addressed it yet.
 
Hiatus in Global Warming / hurricanes
[h=1]Topsy-turvy climate science: ‘Global Warming Hiatus’ blamed for more intense hurricanes[/h]From the UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA and the “but. but, warming is the cause of more intense hurricanes” comes this interesting study. La Niña-like ocean cooling patterns intensify northwestern Pacific tropical cyclones Another piece in the climate puzzle The intensity and frequency of strong tropical cyclones, as well as cyclone landfalls, has increased in recent…

[h=1]The ‘Population Bomb’ (that bombed) Turns 50[/h]Essay by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. This month marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most destructive books of the last century, The Population Bomb, by Paul Ehrlich. The 1968 doomsday bestseller generated hysteria over the future of the world and the Earth’s waning ability to sustain human life, as Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich offered a series of…

There's only been one since 2009. No sense cluttering up the discussion with weather.

No, 2010 and 2016 were both El Niño years. And there is no reason to "remove" either of them. And even if you did remove them, the trend would still be positive.

Without them the hiatus would have been a pronounced decline.

No, you'd have to be blind to think that removing the peaks at 2010 and 2016 would make the slope of the graph negative. Not that there is any scientific justification for doing so.

[h=1]Read about the climatic doom world of 2030 and see hidden truths[/h]By Larry Kummer. From the Fabius Maximus website. Summary: Read the shocking news in this warning from global experts about our future climate! We can learn much from this report, but not what they intended. “Climate Futures: responses to climate change in 2030“ By Forum for the Future, October 2008. Looking back at the lurid…
 

You can find trends is trendless data by arbitrarily selecting a start point:

What is the significance of your selected start point? If it is "that is when the warming started" then you have simply made a choice based on desired results, which is unscientific and not worth considering.

You would be hounded out of the university for that if you were in the climate science faculty.

Redo it using the trend between -0.1PI and +0.1PI. The discount all other data as outliers. Then change the base line and the old data to suit. Follow the guidance of climate science[SUP]TM[/SUP] or else! Be collegate!
 
This will cause a chuckle or a groan or a protest, depending on your point of view. The author is not without a wry sense of humor.

Ghetto Fabulous, Friend. Outstanding.
