He covers much ground and evidence which I have posted about in past years, but all in one place and with a greater density of links. The issue is that too many campaigns of fear propaganda such as DEI, ESG, and AGW are simply that, propaganda. They have either weak or no basis in science even though the special interests, guilds, and beneficiaries of centralized power try and disguise their messaging by pretending that they are dealing with truth, facts and science.
Follow the science! Stand with the Facts! All nonsense and mere heralds of coercive, authoritarian foolishness.
in recent decades, the idea of “science” seems to have been subsumed to into politics. this is not some wild new idea. the soviets did it. mao did it. hitler did it, stalin, popes, pashas, and kings. it’s old as time. this is the straight down the fairway shot for dogmatically driven regimes passing off ideology as fact. “it’s not me pushing this on you, it’s the facts of the universe. it’s not manipulation by maxim, it’s natural law.” potent stuff, but it has about as much in common with actual baconian “scientific method” as haruspicy has with doppler weather.but there is always a song and dance, always a doctrine, always a dogma, and it uses money and power to bend science around it and it has about as much tolerance for diversity of opinion as any other oppressive regime. so it silences dissent. and that can never be science.
perhaps the real DEI when it comes to post-modern science is “disinformation, exaggeration, and intolerance.”the “climate consensus” has been a fabrication all along, a set of determined data adulteration of not just the base facts, models, and science, but of the representation of the views among scientists.but a simple fact is true: debate is science and this “mere patent clerks must not be allowed to opine on physics, this is the province of experts!” appeal to authority cum omerta has never been a sound endeavor in any rigorous scientific sense.but it’s a helluva way to build a guild system and push for technocratic totalitarianism.they have bought media and science journals alike to demand this. they have taken control of grant allocation and thereby the near entirety of academic and governmental practice and position. agree or starve. the appearance of consensus is all and dissent must not be brooked.
He later focuses on AGW. Thoroughly and devastatingly.
the simple fact is this: we know quite little about climate, the “models” we use to try to explain it are not skillful in forward prediction, and the measurement systems we have in place to assess it are grossly unfit for purpose. you cannot measure 0.1 degree per decade trends globally with a system that has easily 2 degrees of one sided error bias in it (and rising). there exists not the slightest ability to have any idea what you are modeling.we do not even understand the role of clouds and precipitation convection in this system and these are huge drivers. some clouds reflect heat back into space. some trap it in. big storm systems (esp in the south pacific) act as an adaptive heat iris to vent heat to space. temperature and humidity affects clouds and water vapor is by far the more impactful greenhouse gas than CO2. minor changes in solar wind seem to affect upper atmospheric ionization and thus cloud structures amplifying changes in total solar irradiance.it’s hopelessly complex and this is a key issue that folks like clauser have been raising of late picking up on decades of work by folks like svensmark and MIT’s grandfather of climate science richard lindzen whose “adaptive heat iris” work from the 90’s is now being called a “thermostat.”
Well worth the substantive read.
The pretensions of truth regarding DEI, ESG, and AGW are tiresome and soul-destroying. I look forward to the reawakening of common sense and real classical liberalism through the scientific method. All three of these false empires of the mind are crumbling and their destruction can not come fast enough.
