And so it begins, scientists start peeling off the climate change labels from the ideology
The Trump clean-out has not even started and the bow wave is washing off some of the faded advertising.
Just as ESG and DEI are quietly disappearing into the bushes, soon, “climate change” will vanish too.
One day most scientists will say “we always knew it was overdone”. But right now, brave scientists are sticking to their beliefs … playing the victim card and adopting new advertising to keep their funding.
Anxious scientists brace for Trump’s climate denialism: ‘We have a target on our backs’
Oliver Milman, The Guardian
The prospect of an even more ideologically driven Trump administration slashing budgets and mass-firing federal staff has given America’s scientific community a sort of collective anxiety attack. “We all feel like we have a target on our backs,” said one National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist, who added that agency staff are already seeking to “pivot” by replacing mentions of the climate crisis with more acceptable terms such as “air quality”.
“My god, it’s so depressing,” said another federal scientist about the incoming administration. A doctoral candidate, when asked about entering the workforce under Trump, simply puffed her cheeks and groaned. “If someone offered me a departmental position now, I’d jump,” said one Nasa researcher.
It’s not like modern science is a lap-dog serving whoever feeds them the biggest biscuits…
Science is in such a crisis, even the Guardian staff realize something is wrong:
But scientists in the US face a broader crisis beyond the next president, amid a swirl of misinformation and declining trust in the profession among the American public. Overall trust in scientists has fallen by 10% since the pandemic, Pew polling has shown,…
And the AGU President, who helped turn science into a religion, accidentally explains some of it:
“When we get that kind of polling data, it is concerning,” acknowledged Lisa Graumlich, a paleoclimatologist and the current AGU president.
“The conspiracy theories are out there, the misinformation is there,” said Graumlich. “Social media engines and the algorithms can take a person that isn’t necessarily prone to a conspiracy mindset and have them end up in this rabbit hole of misinformation.”
Where was Graumlich when NASA and NOAA were spreading misinformation that science is done by groupthink and consensus? Or when they pretended evidence came from computer simulations of Earth, and not the real thing?
And yet, already, in The Guardian desert of journalism — one tiny sensible shoot appears:
Some researchers think scientists should adapt to this hyper-partisan environment by sticking to unadorned facts, rather than anything that could be seen as campaigning. “We have been come to be seen as just another partisan lobbying group,” said Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist.
That’s a good start.
H/t to Willie Soon.
Alarmists must be feeling the shock,
As ‘settled science’ now hits a roadblock,
Fearing their climate pipe dreams,
Will come apart at the seams,
With Donald Trump in charge, taking stock.

This proves that Conservatives and other members of the Thinking Community shouldn’t be afraid of the Left.
Show some leadership and cajones like TRUMP and they begin to behave themselves, just like spoiled children.
650
They’re not afraid of the left. They embrace the left. Climate change, Identity politics, MeToo, BLM. The problem is that there are few real conservatives.
And those who are really Conservatives, like Trump, Kennedy, Farage and our own Moira Deeming are labelled as NAZIS.
Which is an incredible slander for conservatives especially as the NAZIs were socialists of the extreme left. Kennedy puts it best. He did not leave the Democrat party, it left him.
All we have is extreme left and more extreme left.
Real conservatives are as rare as rocking horse poo.
A real conservative in Australia would romp into power. We saw it with the Voice. And Australia needs new coal power stations as fast as we can build them. And to frack and search for gas. The Grid is useless, as it is connecting crippled systems together just so they can be controlled by Canberra.
As for Climate Change, it was always a hoax. Now run by China and their UN puppet. Boiling oceans? How absurd do you have to be and not be laughed out of a job?
510
“And Australia needs new coal power stations as fast as we can build them.”
It’s the only sensible approach, we can’t afford the huge debt that would accompany further builds of variable power and nuclear, especially now when the budget deficit is growing and will be with us for decades and the deteriorating state of the world.
We should set up an enquiry to ask what we are doing and why, if it’s part of the UN, we know it’s a con.
Some existing power stations can have units added to them.
120
And amazingly, it’s the only way Albanese will get his CO2 reduction, by switching to high temperature more efficient boilers. Plus doubling the amount of coal we have. It’s absolute madness that coal is one of our two biggest exports and we are not allowed use it ourselves, by order of our politicians.
100
Unfortunately, TdeF they don’t romp into power in Aust.
If you want to see consistent common sense and a path away from the present insanity in policymaking, look at Malcolm Roberts’ X account. He is a true conservative (not far right, like all of the numpties tell us).
If Australia follows the USA, but delayed by a few years (which is the clique), then either PHON will rise like AfD and RN, or the Coalition will really move back to having a centre-right position.
It is undoubtedly true that most of the public has not moved anywhere in their political dispositions, but the media and politicians have moved at least 30% to the left, during the past quarter century.

“A government-supported artist is an incompetent whore!”
― Robert A. Heinlein, “Stranger in a Strange Land”.
Now, insert “scientist”.
Harsh?
Possibly, but food for thought.
Like “pollie-muppets”:
“How can you spot an “honest politician”?
“When they are bought,they STAY bought”,especially here in the “silly season”……
390
Indeed, during Einstein’s miracle year of 1905 he wrote his four classic papers on his own time while holding down a day job.
And no great artist of the past such as Rembrandt, Leonardo, Cézanne, Monet, Michaelangelo, Goya, Van Gogh, Raphael etc. etc. were funded by taxpayers. They were self-supporting through sales of their work or patronage of the wealthy.
340
“or patronage of the wealthy”
So nothing’s changed apart from the branding:
Catholic Church Collections
Carbon Climate Catastrophe
CCC / 666 as C (Carbon) is #6 on the periodic table.
Artistes – whether painting a model with brush & oils or conniving a simulated computer model – will work for the highest bidder: it’s all about promoting religious belief and putting food on the table… and avoiding being labelled a D3N!3R, the worst curse in both cults.
180
“patronage of the wealthy”
Years ago, people knew who the wealthy were supporting. Now foundations begat by wealthy folks, fund activists in ways that often hide where the support comes from.
140
Wealthy patronage used to be a force for good. The wealthy used to fund schools and hospitals and invest in public buildings – often now vilified as having been funded by the slave trade where African chiefs sold their population for their own gain. Now the fascist billionaires fund everything that is evil from their home in Davos.
50
From the Guardian article:
“… We need to choose our words well, know our audience, but I’m very much in support of full speed ahead.” ”
Interesting that one word they’ve omitted is “facts”.
350
So who’s the conspiracy theorist now?
410
Product of a guilty conscience.
40
Let’s put the “evidence-based” back into real science and abandon what the Left call “The Science (TM)”.
And while at it, also abandon the anti-scientific Leftist expressions “the science is settled” and “consensus science”. Science is never settled and I have never heard a real scientist say either of those things.
360
And an interesting page:

“get on with reducing greenhouse-gas emissions ”
Why? Greenhouse gases are not connected at all to greenhouse gas emissions.
This is not new science. Dissolved gases have a vapour pressure. This has always been simple science, 220 years old. Heat water and gas comes out. Cool it and it dissolves more.
Our tiny annual CO2 output is only 1% of what is in the air already and that is in turn only 2% of what is dissolved in the water because as we humans know, CO2 is very soluble. Wine, cider, beer, soda, cheese, leavened bread,..
This incredible and unproven presumption that CO2 stays in the air and builds up, the fundamental premise in the article, is not science. And never was. CO2 goes straight into the water which covers 3/4 of the planet. It is a water world and all living things are made from CO2 and breathe out CO2.
The war on CO2 is a mad and ignorant war on life itself. It’s an affront to call it science.
380
I remember wondering once when the government would find a way to tax the air we breathe. I no longer wonder.
240
Only an idiot would be fooled by Climate Science, a mish mash of ideas which makes Scientology look like a real religion. Boiling oceans? No more snow? More frequent and longer droughts? Without CO2 the planet would be a big lifeless ball of rock and ice. Where is this rapid Climate Crisis? If you don’t like the weather, move.
280
Surely the question of how long carbon dioxide molecules from the combustion of fossil fuels typically stay in the atmosphere before being taken up by plants or dissolving in the ocean#, lakes etc can be determined by measuring the abundance of all the various isotopes of carbon in the CO2 in the atmosphere? Hasn’t that been done already?
30
Yes, exactly right. It was first done in 1958 with Radio Carbon Dating.
The result was 2.03%. Today it is the same. The ‘residence’ time is about 10 years for CO2 but fossil fuel CO2 goes into the ocean much faster as it is emitted close to sea level. This is direct measurement, never contradicted. Even the 2.0% is in rapid transit into the ocean. And CO2 is within 1% constant from pole to pole. The idea that it builds up is political fantasy.
60
Idiotically I thought people would check this and the whole thing would blow over as nonsense. I was wrong.
40
I do not accept the call that science is never settled. It’s nonsense, constructed in an attempt to counter other nonsense.
e.g. Water runs downhill.
Except when a southerly gale blows it up the cliffs and a quarter of a mile inland along the Great Ocean Road, as I saw on the TV news once. Or it finds its way to the topmost leaf on a tree. The thing is, if you have to explain every detail every time someone asks a question you’ll never get far.
For me, until i need more detail i’ll settle for water runs downhill.
60
This is excellent news and heralds the end thanks to Donald Trump. The Climate Change mob is hiding under a paper tiger.
370
See-saw, Marjorie Dawe.

All these “scientists” are being paid to undertake work that greatly hampers US productivity. Offer them work on the border wall in Texas. Secure borders are a key feature in defining a country.
There is nothing like productive work to give a sense of purpose. A climate scientist using existing climate models would have to be mentally impaired if they think they are doing beneficial work. They realise they are just part of the big hoax and it is confronting to have to face up to that fact.
390
I’ll settle for that.
51
Adapt to Trump or just do your job properly? I can’t believe the chutzpah to portray this as a dilemma rather than a choice between six or half a dozen.
240
I wouldn’t trust any “scientist” that felt they had to adapt to the scientific rationalism of TRUMP.
The fact that they went along with the anthropogenic global warming fr@ud in the first place means they are of questionable morality, scientific integrity and competence.
They should be sacked (US = fired).
Or reduce their salary and send them to the Third World to pick up rubbish and train the locals not to litter. It would be better than a typical foreign aid package.
400
And in Australia’s case, remember how former PM Tony Abbott wanted to have an inquiry into data fr@ud at the Bureau of Meteorology and former WEF employee Greg Hunt stopped it? What was he afraid of?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-24/environment-minister-greg-hunt-killed-idea-of-bom-review/6803572
In contrast, our alternative PM, Dutton, is an anthropogenic global warming fr@ud True Believer and wants more unreliables (and only sees nuclear as base load, not as primary production).
I wish we had some politicians (or even their advisors) who had a clue about science and engineering.
420
David,
There’s a well know adage in politics:
Make the changes but don’t scare the horses.
Dutton is the best hope the country has, given the collection of incompetents in the fantasy land known as Canberra.
Let Dutton get his nukes up and running, then we’ll see some reality come thick and fast.
70
Dutton will run with the nuclear option until Donald tells the world AGW is a hoax. Buy coal futures.
70
Even if they do “run with the nuclear option” it will be a long time before we see it.
Whatever, building any new stations of any kind will not solve our immediate problem. And we are already overloaded with “renewables”.
The first thing we must do is stop closing the coal fired stations that we have. Drop those plans immediately!
10
If Dutton was to come out now and say he was building government owned coal plants the ALP/Green/Teal cabal would destroy him. The question of what we can do to provide reliable power and cost relief between now and nukes in 2035-2040 has not been answered by either side. If I were Dutton I would put my effort into the primary goal, getting into power. Once there he can then tell the nation what we need now and that is to keep the current coal plants and in the interim build a few new ones. The great fraud will come unstuck. People are saying that it’s hot today but that’s summer. They at least realise there is much hype but no substance.
10
Not the way we were.
I got roundly reprimanded by more than one,
Coming up 81, I walked the 3km home from downtown when the media were screaming heat wave and it was 33 degrees, with a pleasant breeze. I had a Maccas soft serve half way.
This, I was told, was irresponsible.
10
What they need is a good tail to wag the dog.
30
I find it concerning that Graumlich is a Paleoclimatologist and seriously buys into this climate caper. It once again shows how political indoctrination has permeated the physical sciences.
280
I suppose she’s a DEI placement.
210
Ticks all the boxes.

GlenM:
Well he would have been at a University where “Group Think” was enforced.
Possibly has never hear anything else where he works.
80
Wasn’t Tim Flannery one of those? Studied giant wombats so much, he became one.
80
You used go from school to uni to research all the while building knowledge in the proper sciences, physics, chem, biol, etc, but now you go from shit science to more shit science until you know lots about shit science, so it must hurt to discover that your shit science career is shit science.
240
I hope Trump can make a difference but I think he has too much ground to cover in one term.
His choice of Chris Wright is a good one and he should make a difference as long as he isn’t prone to listening to bludgers and lefty loonies.
Perhaps the best way is to quickly cut off the funding to any area that persists in woke and other PC lefty loony ideas. Just pay them what’s owing and get rid of them ASAP.
Hopefully VP Vance will be well groomed to also have a distaste for waste and all the BS , corruption and fra-d by 2028.
250
Please!! This effect of sheep getting in line, is so insidious. It would be great if the leading sheep changed beat.
Just yesterday I was meeting with our agronomist, really smart analytical guy, listening to his wisdom, and then he drops the line “and as it keeps getting warmer and warmer ….” and my stomach churns.
These types would change their tune I’m sure if the narrative changed. It’s why Trump (an effective Trump) is so crucial. I don’t even agree with his economics, but the overall impetus and calling out this civilization destroying nonsense on climate change, trumps all else.
210
But meanwhile back in Austraya: This sarky, but close to reality, spoof:

Go the Cube! Humour in a glass of its own. Except on Windy there’s a howling southerly ripping up the coast (with a little precipitation on the hills?) just north of Sydney where I’ll be tomorrow… gosh and darn, I’m trying to escape the cold and wet – maybe 2025 will be the HOTTEST EVAAAH.

These days the Left are so crazy that it’s not always immediately obvious, if at all, whether something is sarcasm or real.

I went to a music festival in Melbourne on 6th of December. 4 days out the maximum temperature was 36°. The next day it was 34°. On the day the temperature hit a max of 32° (briefly). The BoM can’t give an accurate five day forecast let alone predicting the nature of a season let alone citing “data” from computer models predicting the state of the climate decades into the future.
By the way, on December 6th 1940, Melbourne had a maximum temperature of 39.3°- pre-hockey stick graph.

Thanks Strop for that rational, sane summary from Dr Peter Ridd and he seems to be very positive about Trump’s second Presidency.
He missed Chris Wright’s appointment, but he talked about a couple of other people I wasn’t aware of and I can’t wait to see it all play out.
Let’s hope they can really drain the swamp.

‘One day’ the sceptics will discover the scientific method and produce their’ evidence.
How long has Jo been dodging peer review ?.
127
Still waiting for the IPCC to produce its proof. Rather than adopt a rather unscientific “consensus” argument.
But there’s lots of “evidence” across this blog that shows many claims by scientists, government, activists, and alarmists are false and many that are at least in dispute.
210
Lots of evidence without the globally evil peer review, try the CSIRO or NASA for a start.
The creationists use the same arguments as you do !.
015
Do you mean “evidence” such as a global temperature chart that shows a lower temperature 115 years ago and a higher temperature now, and a CO2 chart that shows a lower atmospheric CO2 ppm 115 years ago and a higher atmospheric CO2 ppm now?
Sure, that is evidence that an increase in CO2 causes an increase in temperature.
It’s also evidence that an increase in temperature causes an increase in CO2.
But here’s the thing. I’m not claiming that increasing temperature increases CO2. So I don’t need to prove that.
The IPCC on the other hand is claiming that increasing CO2 is causing an increase in temperature, and that it is the dominant factor. So they’re required to prove that. It’s not up to me to disprove it.
If there was proof it wouldn’t be necessary to trot out the false line that 97% of scientists agree so therefore it must be so. They’d just roll out the proof.
It would also be the case that their the models predicting temperature increases would be reasonably accurate. But they’re not.
We can do a lot of here’s why I think it’s far from certain that CO2 has any notable influence, let alone being the dominant influence. But how about let’s save a lot of time and you just produce the IPCC’s or the CSIRO’s or NASA’s proof.
Good luck with that because they don’t even claim it with any certainty.
130
That’s great Strop, if only there was a system in place to verify your claims ??
02
This recent spike in world temperatures wasn’t caused by CO2 in the troposphere, but by water vapour in the stratosphere. That is according to NASA.

CSIRO or NASA, Bwahahahahahhah

Harpy,
Let me recommend Monty Python’s lesson in the null hypothesis to you. The sceptical position is that the weather’s well within historical ranges. All the real-world data from the scientists tends to bear this out.
It’s not the sceptics who have to prove anything.
220
Afternoon Harpy,
Perhaps you’d present your evidence, which of course is peer reviewed and supposedly proves the claim that CO2 causes any significant warming.
And please ensure that Professor Plimer is one of your reviewers. I’d love to hear his comments.
190
Just another “seagull” assertion, without any underlying statements as verification.
90
Love being called a sceptic. It’s like a badge of honour these days, along with conspiracy theorist. Both terms interchangeable with “realist”.

World’s Smallest Violin Plays As “Depressed” Biden Bureaucrats Can’t Find New Jobs

I’m in favor of a much faster turn-over-the-government following a USA election. There should be no major actions as soon as the defeat is known – details to be worked out.
The Biden team is doing all they can to further an agenda the people have rejected. Those people should have their desks cleaned out, packed, and shipped to their home address within a day, maybe two. Their computers should be disconnected. Joe should be back in his Delaware basement.
160
Trump is already the defacto president. The whiteanting from Biden is not having much impact. Trump is already providing global leadership. I expect Biden;s scope to do harm is constrained by responsible people in government.Giving Ukraine long range missiles was clearly a mistake so there will be greater control over future moves on the waring fronts.
If you have a spare $1m you can join the intimate inaugural dinner with him and Melania and a few other events.
World leaders are queueing up to attend his inauguration..
There are wokequakes everywhere at the moment as the LSM comes to terms with the speed Trump is changing the world for the better.

If you don’t have a spare US$1 million, we Deplorables can go to one of the many inauguration balls for a mere US$$8,890.00 – $10,590.00 . See https://www.mybucketlistevents.com/product/presidential-inauguration-swearing-in-ceremony/

It started out as Global Warming, then when they found it wasn’t getting significantly warmer they changed to Climate Change. Now they have realised the futility of man taking control of world climate, we have Air Quality. They would have been far better advised to start small and just sort out the plastic bag problem, then work their way up to addressing overpopulation.
90
Sort out litter. It’s a horrible problem in Australia and I’ve seen a huge amount along the roadside verges in England. Act locally on real problems.

Overpopulation will solve itself. And it won/y be gentle, either.
Have you seen the fertility rate lately?
I’ve yet to see mention of SSM’s contribution to this. When I raised the issue I was told it’s not a factor.

Always loved Willie Soon from the first interview I ever saw with him. Think it was probably one of those Marc Morano films. But never sure if anyone should quote the Guardian being representative of accurate journalism when it comes to climate. Plus, I not sure any one should ever be described as a “climate scientist” either. Certainly not in the pure definition of that term. None of them have ever done any empirical scientific trials or experiments recreating the world’s climate for study. They’re climatologists, climate modellers, climate data analysts at best. Most, I would contend, are just climate alarmists.
80
They like to call themselves “Scientists” expecting that people will genuflect and think they are special people and quite reliable. It helps them talk about “The Science”.
Having spent many years with scientists I would think that many are just as gullible as the average public servant (and I must censor myself on that). I had to remind them occasionally that water ran down hill and gravity was still working.
I’ve lost the link but recently a local University expected around 85-90% examination marks to get into hard science, but for Climate Science the marks were 45-50%. A quick way for entry into University but doesn’t auger well for the practitioners.
90
Climate science 101- how to tell lies creatively with as much jargon as possible.

This phenomenon is know Anthropogenic Catastrophic We’re Smarter Than You Are Bowerbird Syndrome, or ACWSTYABS.
It began as a way for reproductively unsuccessful human males to compete.
Allowing them to attract reproductive partners, and produce several generations of offspring.
The result was development of gender neutrality in the general population observable in habitats surrounding Universities, and urban cultural and national governmental centers.
The genetic subgroup is identifiable by unnatural colored hair, face piercings, androgynous presentation, 24 hour surgical masks use, and an intolerance of boundary weather conditions.

I have found the worst graphs and logic in NOAA. Like NASA, they have many excellent scientists, but their PR people push this rapid tipping point man made CO2 driven Armageddon with ridiculous stuff.
But by far this is the worst graph
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS80WpylcRcREPaip1hCBJandPDdvQSp1hbCg&s
If it was prepared by a scientist I would be amazed. Every rule of science is broken to make it appear that CO2 emissions and atmospheric CO2 are comparable and in lockstep. You can see the area of overlap and very similar shapes of comparable magnitude.
The rules broken to produce this fake graph are many but
1. no zero on the LHS, allowing random movement up and down
2. different scales left to right, allowing scaling to create the impression of identicality
3. different scales when both are CO2 and could have been plotted using the SAME units. After all the allegation is that emissions are directly responsible for the increase in CO2.
You could make a flea and an elephant look like twins with this.
When both are drawn in Gigatons on the one scale and zero, the CO2 graph would be near flat until 1970 and then a straight line. The ’emissions’ in black would be a rocketing exponential but still would not rise off the X axis. This graph alone is a total disgrace, blatant and deliberate deceit presented as the voice of authority. There is a lot more, but NOAA is a repeat offender.
120
So, a bit like Manns hockey stick. 😊

Manne, a failed research physicist, broke the fundamental rule of experimental analysis. Do not mix measurement types without proof that they are measuring the same thing.
So he has his tree rings bolted onto proxies bolted onto thermometers bolted onto his own projections without explanation or the essential proofs. And he didn’t use his own data for the 20th century, the critical century, clearly because it was wrong. Since then he has refused to supply the data, even after agreeing to the release in the Supreme Court in Canada. His view is that he owns all the data, even though it was publicly funded research. He spends his time suing people who call him a liar and a fraud. As with the late Prof Tim Bell who won his defence in Canada against Manne. He said Manne belonged in the State Penn, not Penn State. Manne cannot even take a joke. That statement is now legal in Canada.
60
That’s the “science” they teach these days in the indoctrination centres once known as schools and universities.
80
I am not sure. I expect its the science taught in Arts Courses. Real science and engineering is hard to corrupt and not easy to undermine with Woke. But the upper management of universities and the vast administration is both very woke and very political. Everyone else keeps their heads low as they saw what happened to Prof Peter Ridd who was 100% correct but crucified in this High Court no less. It’s hard to win a case against an opponent with infinite public money. Scientific truth had nothing to do with the final decision which cost Ridd everything.
The universities could destroy CO2 driven man made Global Warming, but poorly paid and needing their jobs, they keep their heads low, intimidated by the administration.

Way back in 2009, when King Charles was still just a not so humble Prince, he announced to the world that “…we have just 96 months to avert “irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.” So, according to that Royal prediction, planet earth should have gone to hell in a handcart in 2017.
https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/just-96-months-to-save-world-says-prince-charles-1738049.html
However, planet earth and its various climate systems totally ignored the 2009 Royal alert and continued on its merry way. So, Charles modified his proclamation and announced in 2019 that humanity had only 18 months in which to avert cataclysmic climate change,
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2019/07/11/18-months-save-world-prince-charles-urges-commonwealth-leaders/?msockid=36cc83a60864633637ed9266090462b3
A few hundred years ago, a Monarch, so disgracefully misled by “scientists” as to make such an utter fool of themselves, would have had the Tower of London full of embarrassing “climate scientists” and the executioner’s axe would be made sharp.
Today we are supposedly more civilised, but by golly, there should be a price to pay for scaring our kids to death for over 40 years.

I think the TRUMP Revolution and the casting away of Leftist insanity has even influenced the following story.
There is absolutely no way prior to now that the Lamestream Media would have admitted a child undergoing a gender “transition” with possible sterilisation and mutilation would have been a mistake, let alone admitting to someone seeking justice for the crimes done to them.
