COP:When data are unexpected, they reveal flaws in the models being used by scientists

Another part of global warming theory 'topples'

Thomas Lifson

The fragile and tentative nature of climate science is once again on display, this time via "new data of novel high precision", obtained by glacier researchers in New Zealand, utilizing radioactive isotopes in studying behavior of a glacier in that country. The New Zealand Herald reports

The first direct confirmation of differences in glacier behaviour between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the new work topples theories based on climate in the Northern Hemisphere changing in tandem with the climate in the Southern Hemisphere he research argues that at times the climate in both hemispheres evolved in sync and at other times it evolved differently in different parts of the world. ...


The paper published in Science magazine yesterday showed the Mt Cook glaciers advanced to their maximum length 6500 years ago, and have been smaller ever since.

But glaciers in the Swiss Alps advanced to their maximum only in the past 700 years - during the Northern Hemisphere's "Little Ice Age", which ended about 1860.

During some warm periods in Europe, glaciers were advancing in New Zealand. At other times, glaciers were well advanced in both areas.

In a commentary which accompanied the research, Greg Balco, from the Berkeley Geochronology Centre in California, said the conclusion that glacier advances in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres were not synchronised was "unexpected".


When data are unexpected, they reveal flaws in the models being used by scientists. The models touted by Al Gore, the investor betting big bucks on carbon regulation and trading, don't begin to capture the complexity of global climate.

Comment: Let us be clear. New policies are being developed and ready to implement based upon unexpected and even flawed data-this is no longer a speculation, it is fact. The policies are the result of "computer models' attempting to predict the future climate of this planet. The absurdity of this is policy makers are being fed incorrect and damaging data analysis. The end result is going to CHANGE our economy, how we create our economy and how our quality of life will be in the future. All based upon flawed climate models. For those who will write me indicating I must not want an environmentally sound world, your gigantic leap in logic is as incorrect as are your climate models-all based upon unexpected and/or flawed information. Step back or better yet step away from your emotion, your belief that those of us questioning the notion of global warming are one sandwich short of a picnic and think.
