New book: Doubt and Certainty in Climate Science
One time climate alarmist, Dr Judith Curry has released a new book and it is F R E E!!!!!!!
Curry, once universally loved by the entirety of the AGW community, is now universally hated by the AGW community. Why? She no longer concurs with the k00k doomsday scenarios dredged up by alarmists on a daily basis!!
From the preface............
"The complex relationship between solar cycles and regional climate states on Earth that was central to classical climatology (and is still being discussed in the peer-‐reviewed literature) had been replaced with a reductionist assumption concerning radiative balance, and the effective dismissal of any significant solar influence. I found this rejection of an entire body of scientific literature troubling, and looked for a disinterested discussion of the balance between natural and anthropogenic effects, but could not find what I wanted -‐ a book that covered the whole field in an accessible and unprejudiced manner, and that was based solely on the scientific literature: I found text-‐books on individual topics aplenty, together with a flood of others, either supporting or attacking the standard climate change model, but none that was based wholly on studies certified by peer-‐review -‐ and whose author was inquisitive rather than opinionated."
In other words, Curry see's the current AGW sentiments as rigged....................if they find scientific information that doesn't conform with the AGW narrative, it is dismissed out of hand.........
