To celebrate
30 years of wrong
climate predictions,
the UN's IPCC
secretly changed
their definition
of "climate" !
The World
Meteorological
Organization (WMO)
defines "climate"
as the average
of a particular
weather parameter
over 30 years.
This definition
was introduced
at the 1934
Wiesbaden
Conference
of the International
Meteorological
Organization
(now called "WMO")
because data sets
at the time
were only believed
to be reliable
after 1900,
so 1901 – 1930
was the initial
base period.
The latest IPCC
science-free
scaremongering,
their '+1.5 degrees C.
of global warming
will end life on Earth
as we know it',
( formerly
+2 degrees C.
of global warming
will end life on Earth
as we know it' ),
has secretly changed
their definition of climate
to be “the climate we are in.”
The IPCC still uses
a 30 year period
for its estimate
of global warming,
but now its the
30 years centered
on the PRESENT !
This is leftist
anti-science
nonsense!
We have
temperature data
for the PAST 15 years.
Of course we don't have
temperature data
for the NEXT 15 years !
Apparently, the IPCC
believes the future
average temperature
can be wild guessed !
This proposition
was discussed
at the recent
IPCC meeting
at Incheon, in the
Republic of Korea,
where it was agreed
that this was a
reasonable thing to do
to better communicate
climate trends.
An accounting of
the actual IPCC voting
on the new definition
of "climate"
is not available.
This new
IPCC definition
mixes "real data"
with wild guesses
of the future !
Even worse,
the "real data"
( historical data )
contain more
wild guesses,
called "infilling",
than data based on
actual temperature
measurements !
So, the new
IPCC definition
of the "climate",
will include:
(1)
50% wild guesses
of the future temperature,
(2)
Over 25% wild guesses
of the past temperature,
that can never be verified,
(3)
Under 25% "adjusted"
raw temperature data,
(4)
Near zero raw temperature data,
taken from thermometers
with no adjustments !
"Actual measurements"
that have been "adjusted",
often more than once,
actually are no longer
real data !
Real data are actual
raw measurements
from thermometers,
or other instruments.
Adjusting
those raw data
means a human
is guessing at what
the measurements
should have been,
if measured correctly
in the first place !
This new definition
of climate is open to
speculation
and manipulation.
Perhaps
I should have said:
"Even more speculation
and manipulation
than in the past" ?
The IPCC
will define climate,
based on data that
don’t exist,
using their
wild guess
of what
might happen
in the future!
Such a view avoids
having to explain why
the average temperature
remained below
its 1998 EL Nino
heat peak
for the next 17 years,
until the slightly warmer
late 2015 - early 2016
El Nino heat peak !
The fine print,
in footnote 5 ,
on page SPM-4,
of SR1.5 states:
“Present level
of global warming
is defined as
the average of a
30-year period
centered on 2017
assuming
the recent rate
of warming
continues.”
This major IPCC
methodology change
was communicated
with a fine print footnote !
This UN's recent report:
"+1.5 degrees C."
is science fiction,
used to support
a UN agreement
to cut fossil fuel use,
and support
the UN demand
for billions of dollars,
in annual payments,
from developed countries,
for imaginary damage,
done by CO2-caused
climate change.
As readers of this blog
already know:
There is absolutely no
scientific evidence
showing CO2
will cause
global warming ,
other than
laboratory
experiments,
showing a modest,
harmless, increase
in the temperature
with increasing
CO2 levels.
The actual, mild
and harmless
global warming
since pre-industrial times,
has been beneficial
for people, animals and plants,
and has harmed no one.
