Watts Up With That, aka, LOLWUWT and WTFUWT

March 11, 2022, wind chill near zero in Chicago, temp 26 degrees, should be 44 degrees F. Last Saturday was 65 degrees F. Explain why the temp went from 65 to 26 when CO2 is warming us?
 
Wiik GHG

A greenhouse gas (GHG or GhG) is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range, causing the greenhouse effect.[1]
The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3).

Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about −18 °C (0 °F),[2] rather than the present average of 15 °C (59 °F).[3][4][5] The atmospheres of Venus, Mars and Titan also contain greenhouse gases.

Human activities since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (around 1750) have increased the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide by almost 50%, from 280 ppm in 1750 to 419 ppm in 2021.[6]

The last time the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide was this high was over 3 million years ago.[7] This increase has occurred despite the absorption of more than half of the emissions by various natural carbon sinks in the carbon cycle.[8][9]......

Wow!

CO2 is scary!
 
Nothing petulant about asking for sober coherent discussion.
One that avoids the hundreds/thousands of RW Trolls who never go past one or two sentences and Never post any topical Content.

If you request sober coherent discussion, it’s kind of incumbent on you to provide it yourself. You’re apparently not offended by the throngs of left wing trolls? Selective outrage?

By the way, your response to folks who merely disagree with you is not even remotely akin to a coherent discussion.
 
Meanwhile this thread is just a barrage of personal attacks because he and many warmist/alarmists can't address the CONTENT of...,.... As a Moderator there I see a lot of people with real science degrees and other technical degrees comment there and they generally make a lot of good points on the articles.

It's an attack on a Website and it's proprietor/his Position/qualifications and Paid financial interest.

"Attacks" on public figures like ie, Joe Biden or Breitbart are perfectly valid.
If I say Pete Buttigieg is not qualified to be President as mere mayor of South Bend, that is perfectly valid.
Or that Trump is the biggest liar of all time in public life...
perfectly valid.

Not to mention all 4 of mine are Fact-Filled and LINKED
One from the American Geophysical Union blog
.


And It's about time you DISCLOSED You are a Moderator at WUWT.
I assume that means just bashing people who acknowledge REAL CLIMATE SCIENCE. Yes?

Real mods would know "attacks" on Public figures/websites are perfectly valid, unlike attacks on members.



the articles many rational people have posted here now that it is world's LARGEST science blog it will always be a target for childish attacks and a thorn in their dirty underpants.

Alex Jones and Infowars were 100x more popular.
Talk about argumentum ad populum extraordinaire!

What's the "most Popular" 9/11 Troofer site?

But wait...all that site has done is win for the last 15 years. Lopsided winning btw.

The public has obviously embraced Watts reporting. How do we know?

We know because climate alarmists have done zero to move the voters to ANY action on energy policy!

So this thread is like spiking the football because you got a date with the fattest, ugliest girl in town!! Impressive!

View attachment 613957

That site has done as [NOT] well as your 2013//8.5 year old "Skeptics are winning" thread.

We then had the 8 Hottest Years on Record after it.

all the while you mindlessly embarrassing yourself with snow on your lawn thinking it was working.

Anyone with a conscience/brain would have let it die.

And Alex Jones did just as well/MUCH Better with similar grade material.

Perfectly normal for an interglacial cycle. The geologic record is littered with warming and cooling trends. And none were cause by orbital or CO2 forcing. Solar output and albedo.

Why do Wattsupwiththat and that other blogger website (I forget the name) account for like 99% of all media that contradicts what scientists are telling us about the climate? Does that not seem strange to anybody else?

Are all of the scientists and scientific institutions all over the world corrupt and lying to us, or is it more likely that the bullshitters are the couple of blog websites with spotty at best credibility that pump this shit out?

You people are desperate and blind if that doesn't raise red flags for you.

Willard Anthony Watts is a blogger, weathercaster and Non-scientist, paid AGW denier who runs the website wattsupwiththat.com. He does Not have a university qualification and has No climate credentials other than being a radio weather announcer. His website is parodied and debunked at the website Wott's Up With That? | A response to Climate Change disinformation at wattsupwiththat.com - - - Watts is on the Payroll of the Heartland Institute, which itself is funded by Polluting industries.[1]

Watts attended Purdue University from 1975 to 1982 but left without graduating.[2] A number of direct queries to Watts to find out if he graduated from college were rebuffed, but a direct query to Purdue revealed that he did Not obtain a degree from the university.

"Leipzig Declaration" signatory:: The signers of the Declaration are described as "climate scientists", although they include 25 weather presenters.[30] An attempt to contact the declaration's 33 European signers found that 4 of them could not be located, 12 denied ever having signed, and some had not even heard of the Leipzig Declaration. Those who verified signing included a medical doctor, a nuclear scientist, and an entomologist. After discounting the signers whose credentials were inflated, irrelevant, false, or unverifiable, only 20 of the names on the list had any scientific connection with the study of climate change, and some of those names were known to have obtained grants from the oil and fuel industry, including the German coal and the govt of Kuwait.

You'll have to pitch your panic to someone else, I ain't buyin'.

We have now entered the 4th decade of measuring sea level rise using the quartet of satellites Topex and Jason 1, 2 and 3. The first 3 decades were reported in the trio of papers (Ref 1), (Ref 2) and (Ref 3). These concluded that.

1. The perceived “accelerations” are mathematical accelerations occurring due to the methods of calculation, i.e. quadratic curve fitting, as used by Nerem et al [.pdf] (Ref 4) in their 2018 paper. Also, the start date of Jan 1993 also plays a major role in how the “accelerations” pan out.

2. The “accelerations” are now generally reducing year on year and are predicted to reach levels compatible with the long term (over 100 years) Tidal Gauge values during the next decade or two before stabilising over the next few decades.

3. A time span of 30 years is much too short a period to calculate actual accelerations with 3 or more times this period being needed.

So, I will ask you to name anyone who isn't paid to back your claim. Got anyone?

so when will you provide such? Can you name any actual climate scientist who isn't paid for climate research? Let's start there.
