A history of Dr. Ben Santer and his IPCC “trick” Guest Opinion: Dr. Tim Ball I will not apologize for my outrage at being lectured to about my moral obligations concerning climate change from the likes of Benjamin Santer, from his position at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Ironically, and sadly, he is right that we need to address climate change, but for the wrong reason. We need to address the questionable science about climate change and global warming he was part of from the start. The arrogance of his remarks in light of his history makes them especially egregious. Here is a comment from his latest arrogant sermon produced in an essay by Eric Worrall titled, “Ben Santer: We Need Understanding, Not Physical walls, to Address Climate Change.

“Today, we are told, Americans need a wall on our southern border. No, that is not what we are told. Disclaimer: Most of the rest of the material appeared in an earlier article posted on my website in 2011. Early Signs of CRU/IPCC Corruption and Cover-up Agreed comments 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. Climategate 2.0 emails – They’re real and they’re spectacular! | Watts Up With That? A link to where to download the new FOIA2011.zip file is posted below the fold – This will be a top post for a few days -NEW STORIES APPEAR BELOW THIS ONE -I’ve also reversed the order of the updates to be newest at top for better visibility – Anthony UPDATE50: 1:15 PM PST 11/30 The genesis of RealClimate.org seems to have been found.

Surprisingly, the BBC’s Roger Harrabin seems to have been involved in the genesis meeting. UPDATE49: 10:00 AM PST 11/30 While not email related, just as Climategate breaks David Suzuki commits an egregious propaganda error second only to the 10:10 video where kids are blown up for not going along with carbon reduction schemes at school. He’s targeting kids and Santa Claus at Christmas – Santa’s home is melting. UPDATE48: 9:20 AM PST 11/30 Dr. Phil Jones on the “lack of warming” -he may need a backup plan. UPDATE47: 9AM PST 11/30 Fudge factor collection in the emails, or is climate modeling a social issue? UPDATE39: It seems “vexatious” is Dr. UPDATE36: Dr. Climategate 2.0.

Looks like Thanksgiving is early this year. Here’s a feast for kings. /// FOIA 2011 — Background and Context /// “Over 2.5 billion people live on less than $2 a day.””Every day nearly 16.000 children die from hunger and related causes.” “One dollar can save a life” — the opposite must also be true. “Nations must invest $37 trillion in energy technologies by 2030 to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions at sustainable levels.” Today’s decisions should be based on all the information we can get, not on hiding the decline. This archive contains some 5.000 emails picked from keyword searches. The rest, some 220.000, are encrypted for various reasons. /// The IPCC Process /// Thorne/MetO: Observations do not show rising temperatures throughout the tropical troposphere unless you accept one single study and approach and discount a wealth of others.

Thorne: I also think the science is being manipulated to put a political spin on it which for all our sakes might not be too clever in the long run. Climategate 2.0: Phil Jones and Tom Wigley – calling a scientist “the jerk” over his UHI discoveries in California | Watts Up With That? I’ve not had time to read through all these emails, but this one really, really Stick in my craw. Dr. Phil Jones and Dr. Tom Wigley respond to this graph published in BAMS in 1996: This is from Goodridge 1996 published in BAMS Anyone who has ever met or worked Jim Goodridge would dare not characterize him as a “jerk”, and even if he was, what he published still hold true today.

Even Jones later published studies on UHI in China which agreed with what Goodridge found. The paper is titled: Urbanization effects in large-scale temperature records, with an emphasis on China In it, Jones identifies an urban warming signal in China of 0.1 degrees C per decade. Phil Jones must be the most spiteful and unscientific person ever in the climate debate to say things like this about Jim Goodridge.
