Yup... Nobel Laureate Thinks You're All Fucked In The Head

Nobel Laureate: "Climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience"

Dr. John F. Clauser, joint recipient of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, has criticized the climate emergency
narrative calling it "a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world's economy and the well-being
of billions of people."

Along with two others, Dr Clauser, an experimental and theoretical physicist, was the 2022 recipient of the
Nobel Prize for work done in the 1970s that showed "quantum entanglement" allowed particles such as photons,
effectively, to interact at great distances, seemingly to require communication exceeding the speed of light.

He has criticized the awarding of the 2021 Nobel Prize for work in the development of computer models
predicting global warming, according to a coalition of scientists and commentators who argue that an informed
discussion about CO2 would recognise its importance in sustaining plant life.

In a statement issued by the CO2 coalition, Nobel Laureate John Clauser Elected to CO2 Coalition Board of
Directors - CO2 Coalition Dr. Clauser said that "there is no climate crisis and that increasing CO2
concentrations will benefit the world"

He criticized the prevalent climate models as being unreliable and not accounting for the dramatic
temperature-stabilizing feedback of clouds, which he says is more than fifty times as powerful as the
radiative forcing effect of CO2.

Dr. Clauser notes that bright white clouds are clearly the most conspicuous feature in satellite photos of
the earth.

These clouds are mostly produced by the evaporation of seawater by sunlight. They cover variably one third to
two thirds of the earth's surface.

Most of the energy incident on the earth is in the form of visible sunlight. Clouds reflect sunlight energy
back into space before it can reach the earth's surface to heat it.

According to the Nobel Laureate, this creation of a reflective cloud cover provides a natural thermostat that
regulates the earth's temperature with a powerful negative feedback effect.

He asserts that this temperature regulating effect is more than fifty times as strong as the warming effect
of CO2.

Dr Clauser's statement said that the "Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and National Academy of
Sciences repeatedly concede that the effects of clouds do indeed represent the greatest uncertainty in their
climate predictions."

He further adds that "The IPCC's detailed analysis of clouds (AR5) and their effect on climate totally
misunderstands the effects of clouds, and totally ignores this dominating energy transport process."

According to Dr. Clauser, "The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of
science that threatens the world's economy and the well-being of billions of people.

"Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the
pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and
extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and
environmentalists."

"In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a
decent standard of living to the world's expanding population, especially given an associated energy crisis.
The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science," he said.

However, the 2023 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change calls for countries to ramp up
their pledges to lower greenhouse gas emissions enough to reduce global emissions by 60 percent by 2035.

Yup - a climate model has thousands of equations, all with estimated parameters, all of which are subject to
uncertainty. And then they come out with the certainty that the world is going to heat/burn up in 2050 or
whatever, unless the West (always the West) bans fossil fuels by 2050. One could not make it up - except that
we live in times when the West has collectively lost its mind, and only the little guy with his feet still on
the ground can see that the emperor has no clothes.

Pressure groups like "Extinction Rebellion" actively proselytize throughout the Western world for their
doomsday creed. Yet are strangely silent about what must be immense carbon dioxide and other emissions as a
result of the Ukraine conflict.

Meanwhile, our rulers have already set the nation on course for membership of NATO, with a view to
participating in various elective wars around the world. Without any concern for carbon emissions. To take
the American Abrams tank as a case study: this monster boasts a 300 gallon fuel tank which lasts for at most
8 hours - even if stationary. Add to this the fuel requirements of all the other ground, air and naval forces
which would be involved in combat.

In summary, our schizophrenic regime wants to subsidize vast military carbon emissions (and invite the
destruction of our cities) while simultaneously taxing Irish motorists into penury for their comparatively
trivial emissions. "The Science" seems to indicate that carbon emissions anointed in blood are harmless but
those produced for any other purpose threaten the very existence of the planet.

When the summary of an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report makes a statement that is at complete
variance with what is being said in the full report, any discerning reader can see how this is being
fraudulently used to push the climate alarmist narrative.

Even the phrase, climate change, is misleading. We have some thirty climate zones and sub-zones (see Koppen
climate classification) and not some homogeneous global climate. We see a considerable range of weather
conditions in the different zones with for example floods and droughts characteristic of certain areas.
Attributing these to climate change - based on computer models - rather than natural variability - seen in
centuries of empirical observations - is misleading.

Those who reject the idea that we are facing catastrophic climate change actually have a clearer scientific
understanding of weather and climate than their detractors. They have no fear of discussion and debate. Gript
is to be commended for publishing voices that dissent from the alarmist narrative and show the damaging
consequences this is causing.
