what 18,000 page views
actually meant.
Not knowing the answer,
I felt that I had to make one up,
as modern climate "scientists" do:
(If they said: "I don't know"
what the future climate will be",
they would be correct,
but saying that
would make them seem dumb,
so why not make a scary prediction
of a coming climate catastrophe,
and repeat the scary prediction
30 years in a row -- that gets them
attention and respect from leftists,
although what they really deserve
is detention and disrespect !)
Knowing just how
modern climate "science" operates,
and having an old BS degree
from 1975, when people
just enjoyed the climate,
and didn't try to predict it
100 years into the future,
here is what I told the wife:
(I am about to tell a joke)
"18,000 page views means
either one person looked at
my climate change blog
18,000 times, or 18,000 people
looked at the blog once."
(I just told a joke)
Understanding modern climate "science"
Modern climate "science":
(1)
CO2 is a greenhouse gas
in laboratory experiments
= real science
(2)
CO2 is a greenhouse gas
in the atmosphere
= assumed
(reasonable assumption)
(3)
Doubling the CO2 level
will warm the Earth by
about +1 degree C.
= assumed
( assuming 100% of measured warming after 1950
was caused ONLY by CO2
= a worst case assumption because
even the UN's IPCC only claims "over 50%" )
(4)
Increasing CO2 will also increase
water vapor in the atmosphere
(aka "positive feedback")
and that will triple the warming
from CO2 alone, from +1 degree,
to +3 degrees C., per CO2 doubling
= assumed
(this is a poor assumption because there is
absolutely no evidence in Earth's history
of the runaway warming this would allegedly
cause, in spite of historical CO2 levels up
to 10x or 20x higher than today, at their peak)
