Corruption of Climate Science Supported by Flawed Models

Imagine the theory of gravity being determined by a partisan vote. Or a group of politicians ruling on interpretations of the laws of modern physics. Bizarre as those propositions sound, that is what is happening in climate science.

Scientific research is done predominantly in academia, where truth is supposedly established through years of work that is financially supported by government or private entities.

Sometimes, the financiers of research desire particular outcomes for their money.

Human nature being what it is, ulterior motives creep into researchers’ methods and results when funding sources have a point view that is made known to scientists applying for grants and working in laboratories.

A sort of predeterminism arises where the funder’s interests are given priority over time-proven scientific methodologies.

There are large factions of politicians and scientists committed to a baseless narrative that emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity are leading to an apocalyptic warming of Earth.

With the enthusiasm of religious zealots and the ruthlessness of the power-mad, a climate industrial complex is driving energy policy on the basis of a hundred or so badly flawed computer models. More than 95 percent of these digital prognosticators have proven unreliable in predicting climatic trends.

Yet, they are used anyhow.

In simple terms, the models are designed to exaggerate the potency of atmospheric carbon dioxide as a ‘greenhouse gas’.

Consequently, the models overstate future warming.

The magnification of forecasted warming is revealed by retrospectively comparing model results to actual, historical temperatures.

A 2020 scientific analysis revealed that “models overpredict warming in every target observational analog, in most cases significantly so, and the average differences between models and observations are statistically significant.”

Scientist Ross McKitrick calls out errors of modelers that exaggerate future temperature increases.

“I get it that modeling the climate is incredibly difficult, and no one faults the scientific community for finding it a tough problem to solve,” writes McKitrick. “But we are all living with the consequences of climate modelers stubbornly using generation after generation of models that exhibit too much surface and tropospheric warming, in addition to running grossly exaggerated forcing scenarios.” (Forcing is the mechanism by which ‘greenhouse gases’ warm the atmosphere.)

“Back in 2005 in the first report of the then-new U.S. Climate Change Science Program, (others) pointed to the exaggerated warming in the tropical troposphere as a ‘potentially serious inconsistency,’” McKitrick says. “But rather than fixing it since then, modelers have made it worse. (The report writers) note that in addition to the wrong warming trends themselves, the biases have broader implications because ‘atmospheric circulation trends depend on latitudinal temperature gradients.’”

Why do researchers continue to use models that are known to exaggerate warming?

To produce outcomes that support a view politically popular with the climate obsessed?

It would seem so, given the profit motive and the lucrative nature of the current pernicious cycle: Governments advance their doomsday narrative, scientists and research institutions get grants, the green lobby secures investments and subsidies for uneconomic and ineffective technologies, and political candidates embrace the hysteria in exchange for campaign contributions.

This is all supported by working people who pay excessive taxes and unnecessarily high energy bills.

Some employed in the ‘fossil fuel’ industry pay with loss of livelihoods.

The price for the poorest among us — particularly in the developing world — may be lives lost through further impoverishment and early death.

Some climate warmists may be ignorant of science’s corruption. However, others cynically take advantage of it for money and power. At some point, this facade will collapse because of the lack of reality behind it. Nonetheless, we are obligated to do what we can to accelerate the falsehood’s dismantlement if only to honor sacrifices made by others in the name of truth.

In the 16th century, Martin Luther freed millions from the tyranny of a corrupt church by refusing to recant what he knew to be true. He managed to avoid torture and death by fire for his alleged heresies. Others were not so fortunate.

Yet our obligation is deeper than memorializing the past. As biographer Eric Metaxas writes:

“In the end, what Luther did was not merely to open a door in which people were free to rebel against their leaders but to open a door in which people were obliged by God to take responsibility for themselves.”

Those who recognize the wrong can do no other than to point it out.

And so we do.

    Ross McKitrick is spot on when he says climate modelling is difficult and the research needed to understand this will keep all the so called “climate scientist” in well paid work, but doing the science that leads to understanding not the fake science that supports failed beliefs.

    Martin Luther was a heretical, egotistical and anti-semitic Catholic priest who seized on problems in the Church to instigate disunity. His treachery shattered Christianity and Prods now number some 40,000 different sects in which you can choose your pastor and church. Not only was Lutheranism a factor on WWII, all the Lutheran pastors signed an oath to Hitler, per Metaxas book, but the dissolution of Christianity into myriad sects has led to the destruction of Western Civilization which is evident to anyone with eyes to see. It is disgraceful example of anti Catholic bigotry to cite this mendacious heretic in an article about the falsity of popular scientism.

      Hi PSI Readers,

      And that includes anyone (and everyone) who reads Gregory Wrightstone’s essay and this comment. Historical facts are the only truth which exists. When Gregory wrote: “we are obligated to do what we can to accelerate the falsehood’s dismantlement if only to honor sacrifices made by others in the name of truth.”

      If I would not call out “Martin Luther was a heretical, egotistical and anti-semitic Catholic priest who seized on problems in the Church to instigate disunity.” which Shawn Marshall just wrote, I would be dishonoring the courage displayed by Luther.

      Because of the current problems of the ESTABLISHED SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY (the reason that PSI excesses) I call out any PSI Readers (English readers) who have not gotten a copy of Henry Crew’s and Alfonso de Salvio’s English translation of Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences (1914). For when Galileo wrote this forbidden book, he had a few years earlier avoided being burned at a stake by lying that the earth did STAND STILL. To not read Galileo’s second book would be dishonoring the courage that he displayed. I doubt if Shawn fears for his life because of what he just wrote without spending a good portion of his life’s efforts to OBSERVE that which he wrote about in his brief comment.

      I began this comment to state: The Holy Bible is the oldest human history that exists. For it begins: “In the beginning” in most every translation I have read. And it seems little doubt that its human author was a man named Moses who wasn’t there in the beginning. But the human history found in this book is that Moses spent considerable time on a mountain being inspired by the Creator God. Which human history, spent much time alone on a mountain, I believe. So I have shared some writings attempting to connect the first page, which Moses wrote, with what SCIENTISTS, inspired by Galileo, have OBSERVED. For what we commonly OBSERVE one day becomes a historical fact the next day.

      Have a good day, Jerry

        Hi VOWG,

        I recently viewed the movie ‘The Most Reluctant Convert’. It is about C.S. Lewis (1898-1963). I was living during a portion of his life time and based upon my reading thought I generally knew what was intellectually going on in the “intellectual world of that earlier period.

        The only mention about science was Dalton’s theory that matter was composed of atoms and Darwin’s theory of the evolution of life and human intelligence involving the atoms’ accidents. And there was no mention of the Old Testament or even of the fact that Jesus was a Jew. Lewis loved to read but beginning in his youth he sought out and read about the intellectual ideas of the very “intelligent” ancient philosophers.

        Because you wrote: “Read what Jesus said and ignore the rest.”; I have to ask: What did you read as a youth? For I know I have always liked to read, but I certainly never read what the ancient philosophers had written, as translated to English. And no one ever suggested I should read what Galileo wrote; so I was about 50 when I finally decided maybe I should read what he wrote.

        Have a good day, Jerry

    Great article but how come no one looks up at the Sky? It’s forever full of ‘visible’ frequencies and constant chemtrails, which I have personally been recording since 2013, the 1st time I took the time to look. I have hard drive after hard drive of the evidence that the World’s weather is being manipulated and modified, and there are more than enough records available to confirm my findings are NOT theories although there are certainly plenty of Conspiracies behind these Weather Crimes.
    And you guys with all your religious views, praising the likes of Galileo, Darwin, Newton and the likes, have you truly looked for yourself and used your commonsense instead of regurgitating Mainstream garbage? Everything spouted by these people are “Un-proven Theories” for which any evidence is severely lacking. LOOK and while you are so happy Worshipping their Satanic Globe, just bear in mind the FACT that Every religious scripture which mentions where we live”Clearly” states as FACT, that our World is Flat, Stationery, Immovable and covered by a Firmament. and to “Believe” in their Spinning Ball, with Curved Water, spinnibg through the vastness of Sod All with way too many 666’s in their measurements and calculations, is beyond me. Try actually looking at things from a different perspective as Everything we have ever been taught, is a LIE. Just like their Covid, Ukraine and Climate SCAMS. It’s all about robbing the poor to give more and more, to the rich.
    We’ve all been had, period.

    There’s no disrespect intended btw. They brainwashed and continue to brainwash the lot of us, using Fear as the currency of Control.
    No disrespect intended regarding anyone’s religious beliefs, I ‘m merely pointing out that All Bibles are effectively Level Earth books, from cover to cover and you either believe their contents 100%, or you’re committing Blasphemy.

    Their “Globe” Theory goes “Directly” against ” The Word” and “Creation” itself.
    Their “Transforming” and murder of all Humans, also goes directly against “Creation” also – They want us all to either be loyal Cyborgs (Zombies actually), or Dead, simple as- Undoing Creation to be “As Gods” – Bloody insanity and total Psychopathic Evil, far worse than I ever imagined.

    I needed that 🙂 Best wishes to you all.

          We’ve been through this allready. I thought this subject was done and dusted?

          “And you guys with all your religious views”
          Says the one referring to religious documents.

          ““Un-proven Theories” for which any evidence is severely lacking.”
          Same as religious documents.

          “Every religious scripture which mentions where we live ”Clearly” states as FACT, that our World is Flat, Stationery, Immovable and covered by a Firmament.”
          Er, no It doesn’t. It also states the contrary. Nobody knows the truth as stated in:
          Job 38:4-6 ESV
          “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have
          understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,
          Cornerstone? So the Earth is also described as square/rectangular then:
          Revelation 7:1 ESV
          After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
          Or
          Revelation 20:8 ESV
          And will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea
          Or
          Job 37:3 ESV
          Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.

          The Bible is a riddle book. I use the Bible’s own words to refute you, and itself.

          Gen 1:17
          God placed them in space to shine on the earth.
          In space

          Hebrews 11:3
          By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
          The universe was created.

          2 Peter 3:10 ESV
          But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved
          The heavenly bodies will be burned up, not lights.

          2 Peter 3:5 ESV
          For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God
          The heavens existed before the creation of Earth so the dome is a fallacy

          Ephesians 4:10 ESV
          He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
          Above the Heavens. corroborates the dome fallacy.

          What about this?
          Acts 7:49
          “’Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.”
          As ridiculous as it sounds, is the Earth stood on legs then? The Bible states fact as you say, and yet:
          Job 26:7 ESV
          He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.
          No supports.

        Wigginton believes the entire fake climate narrative. He also has put together some very good info. on geoengineering. How do we convince people that he is right about geoengineering, while he totally buys into the fake climate narrative?

      Roo63 = TRUTH.
      Lots of folks can’t seem to handle the truth.
      Some claim to be religious but refuse to see the devil and his minions running the show.
      They like to quote famous dead shysters as though the system would lie about global warming and covid but never about other obvious lies like gravity the globe and space.
      Seems as lots of folks here are only partially awake.
      Either that or paid shills.

        “Roo63 = TRUTH”

        I used Roo’s source of truth as my source, Charles. Therefore, all my posted verses are fact, as was also claimed by Roo. The ‘good book’ is either unerring, or it’s not. By not accepting the verses I posted as truth, Roo’s words cannot be accepted either since they are from the same source. No pick and choose I’m afraid. Catch 22, and no way out.

        Nothing to do with handling the truth, but everything to do with seeing what’s in front of you with some objectivity and accepting things are not as straight-forward as they seem.

          Perhaps your interpretation of the listed verses lead you to a globe for me they certainly do not.
          To each their own.
          Belief is what I claim, not knowing.
          None of us really “know” much at all. It’s mostly belief.
          Most folks seem to believe in covid as an actual virus that should be feared.
          I certainly do not share those beliefs either.
          Quite impossible to convince them otherwise.
          Quite “impossiball” to convince globe believers either.
          So I won’t.
          Good day.

            I didn’t interpret them Charles, the verses are taken at face value as most take them and shown to still be in complete conflict from one to the next, whatever one reads into them.
            The Bible says the Earth is a flat circle, while also claiming corners, yet still a sphere, all at the same time. Futility of it all was the point of the exercise. A riddle book, as I said.

          These are end-time events, Charles. Allready in the Bible, so as far as one understands, all by Divine decree. The real ‘great reset’.

          If science is to be believed, then complete removal of humanity from the planet isn’t remotely unusual, and will result in ‘wiping the slate clean’ ad infinitum until God gives up, or humanity takes the appropriate route and discontinues to devolve over time as is the usual way of things, such as is currently being witnessed

    Hi Gregory, A good post highlighting a real problem. For years now climate scientists have been stating that the models do not overpredict warming, but the NASA/NOAA measured temp curve is hugging the low end (5% probability) of the 2013 IPCC models ranges, which seems to indicate their models are – on average – overpredicting. This is also indicated by the downwards revision – by the IPCC – of their 2100 temperature estimate. Why then are we seeing articles like this? https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2943/study-confirms-climate-models-are-getting-future-warming-projections-right/ from JPL? How is it that their models can be spot-on when most of the predicted and observed global warming is occurring in the Arctic, the place where the GHG effect should be minimal? This doesn’t make scientific sense, unless they continue to use mythical “Arctic Multipliers” that are not supported by physics or data. These claims need to be reviewed by a panel of independent scientists

    If ‘Greenhouse Gas Theory’, which is really an hypothesis, could be demonstrated in a laboratory, then no one would need computer models.
    Unfortunately, no one has ever demonstrated the magical warming capability of CO2 in the real world with real physical demonstration.

    The greatest contribution to science would be offering a $100 million prize to the clever individual who can show how a box of CO2 warms the floor underneath it…
