The Climate propaganda war
The alarmists are cranking up the propaganda machine ahead of the Paris end of year talkfest on climate change.
In a neat piece of “peer reviewed” junk science, (published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) a University of Adelaide team has assured itself of endless future public funding by finding that global warming climate change will boil the frogs and fry the fish before they reach our plates.
The ABC (surprise!) was effusive about these findings, which were a meta-analysis of 600 studies, especially as the authors thought there was little prospect of the fish species adapting to the new warm. AFP’s headline was even more foreboding in predicting a food chain collapse.
But wait! PNAS also covered a story about human salmon fisheries11,500 years ago; these have apparently survived periods (the Holocene maximum 6,000 years ago and the Roman warming) when temperatures were much higher than today and fish flourished even 500 million years ago when temperatures exceeded the most hyped projections of global warming.
All that undermines a good story replacing “We are all doomed unless we follow the saviour” by “Our hum-drum existence is assured”. So, in fact does this story about oceanic emissions bringing a cooling effect that the climate models don’t incorporate.
And David Evans is systematically trawling through the model architecture with tentative findings that the earth is less sensitive to CO2 emissions than the models suggest.
