Climate skepticism: the ‘show me’ state

 

All models are wrong, some models are useful is a mantra of modelers everywhere.
But in what way are climate models useful? They certainly show us climate modeling is in its infancy, that models really don’t know how the climate works.
The climate modelers also help us understand the hubris of the modelers. “You have no better way to predicts the climate 100 years in the future,” they claim. Really? How useful is a prediction is the wrong answer? The models can’t accurately predict the climate in 10 years, 15 years, 20 years or 30 years, but somehow they give a useful prediction of the climate a century from now.
I find that not particularly useful at all.

 

Makes sense. Avoiding type 1 errors assume that you have enough money to fix everything. Avoiding type 2 errors assumes that your funds are limited. Academics rely on governments for funding and thus assume funds for avoiding errors are unlimited. Engineers rely on profits for funding, and thus know that funds for avoiding errors are directly tied to success.
Academics believe we have enough money to avoid every problem, even problems far in the future, or problems that may indeed turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Engineers believe we have barely enough funds to deal with today’s problems, let alone solve problems 100 years in the future. If and when it becomes a problem, then add it to the list of things to solve.

Should David Petraeus Get Away With It Because "He's Suffered Enough?"

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 13 minutes ago
Elites rarely think other elites need to face the same kind of justice non-elites have to face when they break the law. Whether banksters on Wall Street or legislators on Capitol Hill, the worst criminals in our society-- those given the greatest amount of public trust-- are rarely held to account for their transgressions. And the lack of accountability is systemic and has become almost a tenet of our entire society. Sunday, Dianne Feinstein was a guest on CNN's *State of the Union*. She echoed comments by 2 other Military Industrial Complex shills from across the aisle, John McCa... more »

Throwing in the Terrible Towel

jurassicpork at Welcome Back to Pottersville - 2 hours ago
I apologize first and foremost to my protagonist Scott Carson. He's a nice kid, if a social maladroit. He's the guy who killed Jack the Ripper and, while being the official cinematographer for Buffalo Bill Cody, invented moving pictures.

Erich Fromm, “Credo”

*“Credo”* by Erich Fromm “I believe that man is the product of natural evolution; that he is part of nature and yet transcends it, being endowed with reason and self-awareness. I believe that man’s essence is ascertainable. However, this essence is not a substance which characterizes man at all times through history. The essence of man consists in the above-mentioned contradiction inherent in his existence, and this contradiction forces him to react in order to find a solution. Man cannot remain neutral and passive toward this existential dichotomy. By the very fact of his being hu... more »

“Man is born as a freak of nature, being within nature and yet transcending it. He has to find principles of action and decision-making which replace the principles of instincts. He has to have a frame of orientation which permits him to organize a consistent picture of the world as a condition for consistent actions. He has to fight not only against the dangers of dying, starving, and being hurt, but also against another danger which is specifically human: that of becoming insane. In other words, he has to protect himself not only against the danger of losing his life but also aga... more »

Panorama: The Battle for British Islam

Credit where credit's due. Tonight's *Panorama *by John Ware was an outstanding piece of reporting. Although some will doubtless carp and quibble...It didn't pretend that the attacks we've seen on the streets of London and Paris have nothing to do with Islam. It fully faced up to the fact that Islam *is* the problem, and that a radical reformation of Islam is needed. It showed us just how bad the situation really is. It showed the very ugly things influential British Muslims say behind closed doors. It confronted the 'grievance narrative' of non-violent Islamists that excuses the ... more »

Scalise Is Certainly A Full-On, Unreconstructed Racist But What's More Important Is That The GOP Has Been Captured By These People

One of the low points for Mitt Romney in his forever campaign for the presidency was the juxtaposition between him hiring illegal aliens and then him pandering the the vilest segments of the GOP Know Nothing base with his self-deportation screed.

British Trotskyism on the Paris Terror Attacks

In living rooms, canteens, pubs, motorway services, hairdressers, and supermarket queues up and down the land there is a question not playing upon proletarian lips: what do the principal tendencies of British Trotskyism have to say about last week's terror attack on *Charlie Hebdo* and the weekend's unity march?

There is a huge difference between the “Mandates of our hearts” and the “Mandates from Heaven” we get from political and corporate bosses.

David Greene at Schools Matter - 7 hours ago
There is a huge difference between the latter “Mandates of our hearts” and the “Mandates from Heaven” we get from political and corporate bosses. But it seems the bosses forgot the entire Mandate: The “Mandate of Heaven” is an ancient Chinese philosophical concept, which originated during the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE). The Mandate determines whether an emperor of China is sufficiently virtuous to rule; if he does not fulfill his obligations as emperor, then he loses the Mandate and thus the right to be emperor. There are four principles to the Mandate: 1) Heaven grants the emperor... more »

PEGIDA and the BBC

Or any other top U.S. official. The only visible public representative was the U.S. ambassador to France. Is that a coincidence? In September 2012, Barack Obama spoke to the United Nations and articulated a chilling sentence "The future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." One could have asked: What was he going to do to make sure that the people who slander the prophet of Islam had no f... more »

solidarity forever

laura k at wmtc - 21 hours ago
Poor neglected wmtc. In addition to having absolutely zero time and mental space to write, I have some kind of head-cold-thing. So instead of trying to string words together in an order that conveys meaning, I will use this blog as a Tumblr, something formerly known as a photo blog. I've been seeing such beautiful, creative displays of solidarity lately. These actions can be so inspiring - reminding us that we can demonstrate not only against bigotry and hatred, but *for* love and compassion, and for justice. After anti-Muslim rhetoric was scrawled into an Uppsala mosque wall yeste... more »

Ayahuasca Can Help You Communicate with Plant Spirits, and Heal Your Body and Mind

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
WE have covered this story pretty well here on this blog. however, having a mainstream press story is important. This healing protocol is slowly emerging as a mainstream method. This is good news. Recall that this appears the safest tool for tackling all forms of mental illness or if you prefer mental disturbances. Nothing else can be properly trusted to be anywhere near as effective. At best they use some of the same chemicals through other routes.Expect way more mainstream stories and i hope the movement to make it all legal. *Ayahuasca Can Help You Communicate with Plant S... more »

Function of the Vagus Nerve With Dr Sircus

[image: http://images.sussexpublishers.netdna-cdn.com/article-inline-half/blogs/75174/2014/05/151341-154600.jpg] This sounds like a source of unidentifiable problems par excellence. Management boils down to inflammation management as that appears to triggers odd effects. The truth appears to be that this system likely manages all internal signalling and this leads to a lot of misdirection. Think about this. Angina commonly manifests as heart burn. We just discovered why that might be true. It can obviously be horribly misleading. It also shows us a fresh paradgm... more »

Rational and Irrational Thought: The Thinking that IQ Tests Miss

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Rationality requires training and most of that is about eliminating laziness. It is way too easy to be lazy and accept a choice because it is obvious. If asked differently most folks will make the right choice but accepting the obvious is far too attractive under any form of time pressure. The truly smart person has the ability to seriously concentrate on a problem until all variations are properly tested and fully considered as well. This alone leads to a valuable conclusion that can be trusted. Just been rational is not good enough nor been largely ignorant of related issue... more »

Ebola Vaccines Were Always in the Pipeline

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Ebola has always appeared to be a tamable threat. Thus it turns out there are plenty of options to develop and make available to make sure this problem simply goes away. That it has not been done sooner is as pointed out here, been a matter of far more troublesome diseases taking up resources. Let me say something however. The whole spectrum of tropical disease is under assault to a degree unimaginable as little as thirty years ago. Thus we can expect that all the big problems will be well tamed inside the next generation and that even what are clear outliers such as... more »

Second sighting of Sweden's suspicious submarine

Ko Savonije at Naval Open Source INTelligence - 21 hours ago
[image: Unknown submarine in Swedish waters]Sweden's military has confirmed a second sighting in October of what appeared to have been a submarine in waters near Stockholm city centre, not long after a search had been launched for a suspected Russian submarine off the coast. In November, the Swedish military released images of tracks on the sea bed and an apparent submarine periscope which it said proved that "a mini submarine violated Swedish territory" between October 17 and October 24 and that "at least one vessel" was involved. However, despite widespread speculation that the su... more »

Has The Attacks In Paris Embolden Terrorists Worldwide?

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 23 hours ago
As night fell in the French capital, tens of thousands of people continued marching in 'unprecedented' numbers. Today saw more people flock to the city's streets than ever before in its history. Daily Mail *AP:* *Paris attack rallies Islamic extremists, may boost support* *WNU Editor*: It does not take much to embolden terror groups and terrorists .... but in view of how three terrorists were able to attract (and keep) the attention of the entire world for a few days .... you cannot help but feel that copy-cat attacks are now just around the corner.

Don't Nuke the Climate | Background Information on Climate Change and Nuclear Power - NIRS

rc at GlobaLove Think Tank - 1 day ago
We're getting a little tired hearing nuclear industry lobbyists and pro-nuclear politicians allege that environmentalists are now supporting nuclear power as a means of addressing the climate crisis. We know that's not true, and we're sure you do too. In fact, using nuclear power would be counterproductive at reducing carbon emissions. As Amory Lovins of Rocky Mountain Institute points out, "every dollar invested in nuclear expansion will worsen climate change by buying less solution per dollar..." The simple statement below will be sent to the media and politicians whenever th... more »

To Punish or Reform, That is the Question

Catelli at Not Quite Unhinged - 1 day ago
We instinctively look to long sentences to punish offenders, yet the evidence shows that long periods served in prison increase the chance that the offender will offend again ... In the end, public security is diminished rather than increased if we "throw away the key" and then return offenders to the streets at sentence expiry, unreformed and unsupervised.1 Thirteen male students at Dalhousie

At the same time it's possible to be cautiously optimistic about the return of Showtime's *Shameless* for Season 5, in which (I see from the promos) the Gallaghers will be grappling with the onset of gentrification in their heretofore lost-and-forgotten slice of Chicago.

The $64,000 Question

George Henderson at The High-fat Hep C Diet - 1 day ago
I've been obsessed with this question. It all started after reading the literature of pre-insulin treatment of diabetes and insulin-free animal models of the disease. Feeding fats and restricted protein, with no or minimal carbohydrate, gives the best prognosis without insulin; also fasting, which tends towards a similar mix of substrates. Then I read the literature showing inferior prognosis of type 2 diabetes with higher-carbohydrate, post-1977 diets; the longer carbohydrate is fed, the more fasting glucose climbs. Most of the glucose in the blood of diabetics comes from hepatic... more »

When the facts aren't on your side... When you're up against the wall... When you've been caught with your hand in the cookie jar... You take the cheap shot. That's what the New Jersey Charter Schools Association did last week when they filed ethics charges against Rutgers Professor Julia Sass Rubin who, along with doctoral student Mark Weber (aka. Jersey Jazzman) published this study on the segregationist practices of the state's charter schools which concludes what we already knew (from JJ's post): *New Jersey's charter schools do not serve nearly as many children in economic di... more »

Unity through Diversity Equals Cultural Death

Peter Cresswell at Not PC - 1 day ago
*Guest post by Olivia Pierson* Cultural pluralism is as old as the hills – or at least as old as the Babylonian Empire on whose riverbank shores even the captive Jews were tolerated to sit and weep. Multiculturalism, on the other hand, is a 20th Century bastardisation of tolerance, which the United Nations invented to socially engineer Western democracies to cope with overwhelming immigration, mostly from Third World slave-pens. The pious and politically correct preachers of “diversity” and “equality” raised multiculturalism in the West to the status of a new religion, as if the w... more »
