HN discussionDan, you seem like a decent guy. Please read this and tell me what you think: http://judithcurry.com/2011/07/21/stephen-schneider-and-the-... How can you trust anything the IPCC or its associated scientists have to say when they have openly advocated deceiving the public?

HN discussionWell, it's much worse than that. It is not true that 97% of scientists agree with AGW theory. That claim is a lie, based on the paper by Cook, et al. That paper was a premeditated fraud. But people are still perpetrating the lie about consensus. The media loudly announced the claim, but the media has ignored the uncovering of the conspiracy. Of course, anyone can google it, if they want to... On top of that, the IPC…

HN discussionStop paying attention to the hysteria. It's great for views and clicks. It's terrible for viewers and clickers. "We have been told that climate change is an ‘existential crisis.’ However, based upon our current assessment of the science, the climate threat is not an existential one, even in its most alarming hypothetical incarnations." https://judithcurry.com/2019/12/14/the-toxic-rhetoric-of-cli...

HN discussionJudith Curry https://judithcurry.com/2017/01/03/jc-in-transition/ Look at how this mildly (at best) informed senator encounters facts that don't support his hypothesis, look at how he, an amateur, speaks to a top scientist! I believe many if not most scientists are at least partially lying to people, and by lying I don't mean they are accidentally mistaken, I mean that they know that some of what they are saying is…

HN discussionA little information is a dangerous thing. --- Sufficiently flawed journalism is perhaps one of the most severe problems in our society. People are fed half truths, and at times simply false information, and then go on to repeat it and base their world views upon as if it were fact. And in the era of social media false and sensational views spread incredibly rapidly while any 'corrections' are basically dead on arri…

HN discussionOk. Two screaming kids... while i don't have time to find the direct sources of scientific comment, they should be referenced in the following article about Hansen's 2015 paper. https://judithcurry.com/2015/07/26/hansens-backfire/ Lol. Don't read the comments, while i find judith to be above board, many of her fans are definitely rabid troglodytes.

HN discussion> I don't know about sea level rise prediction accuracy We have no way of knowing because no predictions were made for periods of time prior to now, so we have nothing to compare with the data. The dire predictions of rapid rise in the future are based on the future predictions of climate models being correct, but the models are already known to over-predict future warming. https://judithcurry.com/2018/11/27/special…
