Archibald doing real science or 30 political yes men doing pseudoscience?... There is no comparison here Archibald has it hands down.
You seem to have the same misconception that a lot of deniers suffer from: the IPCC does no research. The material on which their assessment reports are based is simply research published in peer reviewed journals. It's no being done by politicos. It's being done by scientists. And scientists with a hell of of lot better qualifications than David Archibald.
David Archibald
David Archibald is a Perth, Australia-based scientist working in the fields of oil exploration, climate science, energy and geostrategy. After graduating from Queensland University in geology (geology is not a climate science and this was a bachelor's degree
Meet David Archibald The Fringe Scientist Predicting An Ice Age Blog Media Matters for America) in 1979, he worked in coal and oil shale exploration in Queensland (not climate science) and then in oil exploration with Exxon in Sydney (not climate science). A long period in stockbroking (not climate science) in Sydney as an analyst was followed by moving to Perth in 1999 to work for a private investor (not climate science). He subsequently started the oil exploration company Oilex in 2003 (not climate science) and then joined a Canadian-listed oil exploration company in 2006 (not climate science). Also at that time, he was CEO of the mineral explorer Westgold Resource (not climate science).
Mr. Archibald began researching in climate science in 2006 and has published a number of papers in this field, and two books: "Solar Cycle 24" and "The Past and Future of Climate". His climate prediction methodology uses solar cycle length to predict climate up to one solar cycle in advance. Mr Archibald's work in this field was corroborated by three Norwegian scientists in a paper published in February 2012: Solheim, J.E., Stordahl, K. and Humlum, O. "The long sunspot cycle 23 predicts a significant temperature decrease in cycle 24" Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 16 February 2012 (
available online here). Mr Archibald has lectured on climate in hearing rooms of the US Senate, in 2011, and the US Congress, in 2013. (Corroborated? What is that supposed to mean? And how does his work in geology, oil and money qualify him to do solar physics?)
Mr. Archibald has been an expert witness in the Supreme Court of NSW in the fields of rolling mills for steel works and petroleum geology (not peer reviewed, not climate science). Also in the steel industry, he consulted on the Amurstal steelworks in Komsomolsk-na-Amur in Far East Russia in the mid-1990s (not peer reviewed, not climate science). In medical research, Mr Archibald was involved in investigating the synergistic effect of combinations of plant flavanols in reversing cancer, specifically sulforaphane and capsaicin (not peer reviewed, not climate science [Despite no background in medical science, Archibald
invented a formula for prostate cancer pills along with two Purdue scientists, made from vegetables such as "broccoli and chilli [sic]," and started
testing them in clinical trials. According to his biography, "[t]his drug demonstrated efficacy during in vitro trials at Queensland University in 2009 and will be entering human trials in 2012." - MediaMatters]). Also in the medical field, he edited and published a book on the role of isoflavones in modulating the human female hormone system (not peer reviewed, not climate science). This book (not peer reviewed) is available as "Hormones with Harmony" on Kindle.
More recently Mr Archibald has concentrated on predicting the effect on civilisation of the reducing supply and higher price of energy, MENA region population growth and collapse, the impact of deteriorating climate on agriculture, nuclear weapons proliferation and Chinese irredentism. These themes are brought together in his book (not peer reviewed)published in 2014 -
The Twilight of Abundance.
Mr. Archibald is the 2008 winner of the Iowahawk Earth Week Cruise-In*.

The 2013 Iowahawk Earth Week Cruise-In
What, you think I forgot? Rejoice citizen, it's time for the
8th Annual Iowahawk Earth Week Cruise-In - 7 days of peace, love, and carbon-belching horsepower straight from the garages of Iowahawk readers. Together we can combat
climate change and celebrate
Mother Earth - the Ultimate MILF®!
Want your hoopty featured in the Cruise-In? Spiff it up for a glamour shot, and follow the entry rules below. Best bring your A-game though, because when it comes to carbon production,
Iowahawk reader take a backseat to no one!
ENTRY RULES
- Submit a photo or video of your hooptie (preferably as a link), along with a pithy description, to the email link on the left using the subject line "Cruise In".
- Eligibility is open to fossil fuel-powered human conveyances (cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft, spacecraft, etc.) and other devices at my discretion. E.g., an electric blender is not interesting; a blown Hemi-powered blender is.
- Please submit only those vehicles you personally own, or have stolen. I know many of you have pics of other people's cars, but this exhibition is about taking personal responsibility for the environment.
- If your vehicle was featured in last year's Cruise-In, please wait 'til next year to re-enter. Let's keep it fresh, people!
- Submission deadline Sunday, April 28..
Archibald is a ******* millionaire coal roller.
