Real Science
Professional climate fraudsters claim that Greenland is losing ice 600% faster than predicted. As of yesterday, the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) showed
Greenland surface mass gain for the winter at a record high. This is a
direct contradiction to the lies being spread by climate alarmists. The DMI data was being widely cited by skeptics as evidence against
global warming fraud, so today DMI changed the graph. They changed their
baseline dates, and no longer show 2017 as being a record high. We have seen this identical story hundreds of times. Climate data being
altered to avoid criticism from global warming alarmists. Apparently DMI
doesn’t want to have gunfire directed at their office, like John
Christy and Roy Spencer had after Bill Nye’s “March for Junk Science.”

In an attempt to discredit Judith Curry, Gavin at RealClimate shows how bad climate models really are
WUWT
A recent poster here wrote that they had stopped looking at the Real Climate web site, and good for them. It has become a sad, inwardly focused group. It’s hard to see anyone in the Trump Administration thinking they’re getting value for money from their support of that site.
I still check in there occasionally and just now I found something too good not to share with the readers at WUWT. "

Thoughts on the Public Discourse over Climate Change
Richard Lindzen
...The accumulation of false and/or misleading claims is often referred to as the ‘overwhelming evidence’ for forthcoming catastrophe. Without these claims, one might legitimately ask whether there is any evidence at all."

Lindzen starts with the meme: 97% of scientists agree, which was exposed as a myth by Joseph Bast and Roy Spencer in the Wall Street Journal. Another mime is “warmest years on record,” which covers many misconceptions. The prior warmest year, since about 1850 in the surface record, was 1998. A slight increase above that is immediately seized as evidence of dire global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, even though it cannot be felt by humans, given the enormous temperature range existing on the globe each day.
As Lindzen shows, from 1850 the “Globally Averaged Deviations from Average Temperatures Plotted on a Scale Relevant to the Individual Station Deviations” are remarkably stable over time. It is only by manipulating scales for visual impact, called “chartsmanship’, that the change appears significant. When Lindzen adds the range of uncertainty in the measurements, the record is far from clear. The same applies to the influence of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Similarly, Lindzen demolishes other memes; including extreme weather, sea level rise, Arctic sea ice, polar bear endangerment, ocean acidification, and death of coral reefs. These memes lead those who are not sceptics to accept that CO2 causes global warming and that global warming is the cause of everything. ..."

This needs to be repeated 20 million times, maybe someday it will be recognized by the #MSM.

Nye’s Quadrant
Judith Curry

Apart from the twitter aspect, here are other attributes of this quadrant:
......
Apart from the twitter aspect, here are other attributes of this quadrant:
- Second order belief – allegiance to consensus. Individual has not done primary research on the relevant topic or has not conducted an independent assessment of the evidence and research.
- Shutting down scientific debate; science as dogma
- Alarmism as a tactic to influence the public debate
- Political activism and advocacy for particular policy solutions
- Scientism: a demand that science dictate public policy
- Advocacy research ......"
