Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skeptical Arguments Against AGW Alarmism

By

Wanting to find a list of peer-reviewed papers supporting an alternative perspective on climate change? It’s just been compiled by the geeks at popular technology.net

http://www.populartechnology.net/2009/10/peer-reviewed-papers-supporting.html#Preface

So much for the false statement by Al Gore in 2000 that:

“There was a massive study of every scientific article in a peer reviewed article written on global warming in the last ten years. They took a big sample of 10 percent, 928 articles. And you know the number of those that disagreed with the scientific consensus that we’re causing global warming and that is a serious problem out of the 928: Zero. The misconception that there is disagreement about the science has been deliberately created by a relatively small number of people.”

The list includes 1350 plus papers on a range of topic:strike 2
Climate Sensitivity
Antarctica
Arctic
Clouds
Coral Reefs
Deaths
Disease

    You can’t deny the climate skeptics arguments against the stupidity of the so called ‘settled science’ and ‘scientific consensus’. Anyone who does is a true ‘denier’.

  4. Luke says

    Oh it’s a soft old list isn’t it – ho hum – a list of flawed mega-denial. I thought sceptics thought peer review was broken anyway.

  5. toby says

    mmmmmm, how is that co2 and temp correlation going….. settled science for sure , cant understand why anybody could doubt its catastrophic effects. I mean just follow the money trail, it tells all……. no more snow we were told , that’s looking good as well. The predictions made by models and forecasters and catastrophists have been so accurate I cant understand how anybody could be sceptical and not agree the science is in! I mean they predicted the winds would cause temperatures not to increase, just like they predicted the winds would make it warmer.. Sure is settled science. Fancy being a sceptic, you would need your head read. They must be so ignorant not to believe in the royal societies and our pseudo scientific prognosis and intellectual betters.

  11. Neville says

    Once again the science ????? guy Nye displays his pig ignorance and an inability to understand SKMs and the requirement to do a CBA.
    Just about everything this fraudster said is a ridiculous con.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baTwy_Yj2OQ The republican congresswoman is very smart and better understands the topic than Nye and the interviewer.

  12. hunter says

    Jennifer,
    Thank you for keeping the focus on the facts: The AGW claims do not hold up. And the efforts of the AGW community to misdirect from that inconvenient truth is not based on telling the truth.
    Congratulations on the new paper, by the way.
    Please consider going to Indiegogo for your research money.
    I believe that you would be nicely surprised at how many people would be pleased to pitch in and help you work.

  17. Neville says

    Geeezzzzz debbie that Poptech stirred them up so badly that the gutless Lambert banned him. Just another hysteric FACT FREE zone for the true deniers.

    Meanwhile Dick Warburton isn’t backing down on his scepticism about co2 being the major factor in any ? recent NATURAL climate change.
    He is absolutely correct of course , just look at all the recent studies on SLR, bushfires, droughts, floods, polar bears, extreme weather events, global sea ice extent, Greenland 20th century temps, earlier warmer Antarctic climate from 141 to 1250 AD etc.

  24. bazza says

    ‘According to USA sec of state John Kerry sceptics “are the world’s most destructive force and believe that the world is flat” Sorry Jennifer you’re beyond help.’
    Posted by Nev based on a fox news link.
    I did promise myself never to read a Nev nonsense but when I saw foxnews I had a peep. Nev accounts for about 2/3 of the stuff above! Go Nev, the ratings killer. ( he must be a fifth column)

  27. Neville says

    Ten out of ten to the Bolter for listing the facts and telling the truth about Labor and the Green’s barking mad co2 tax.

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/huge-price-for-green-policies-that-dont-work/story-fni0ffxg-1226831877783

    I know many small business people who are paying many thousands of dollars more p.a for running cool rooms and freezers because of Labor’s idiocy and they want it stopped NOW.

    And the change to climate and temp will be ZIP by 2100 whatever we do anyway. And if it’s so important that we stop adding to co2 emissions Labor should join the Greens and call for a halt to iron ore, coal and gas exports from OZ. That’s where the big increases of co2 come from anyway.
    Afterall Krudd joined Gore in 2007 and told the electorate this was the “greatest moral challenge of our generation.”

  28. Luke says

    Bazza – I calculate Nev probably saves us a considerable amount of time. His handy clipping service of the ratbag disinformation denialosphere is quite handy. I know someone in a climate unit at uni uses his service as a clipping file for the junk arguments list. Don’t knock it.

  29. Neville says

    Oh goody the second true denier fantasist comes out from under his rock. So tell us why a co2 tax is so good for OZ and how it will help and don’t forget the impact on temp and climate change, tell us your great nirvana period of climate, tell us why Antarctica was so much warmer for over a thousand years according to your study, tell us why the EU is burning lignite again BIG TIME and why shouldn’t they just be building EVEN MORE clueless solar and wind farms to mitigate your CAGW?
    That idiot speech by Kerry must have been a real inspiration to bazza and Luke because it was so full of delusional BS. Just like Obama and Holdren’s latest stupidity. Like nearly all weather is now caused by CAGW according to pseudo scientist Holdren.

  30. hunter says

    So what passes for leadership in the US is upping the ante on their flat earth smears, while the IPCC, the Met, the people of Australia, the EU, are all backing away fomr either linking weather to CO2 or dumping the policies of CO2 fanatics, or both the claims and policies.
    Skeptics called it right on flooding Australia, in the UK, and on weather linkage in general. But reactionary political hacks and rent seekers are sticking to their story, no matter what.
    Interesting times, indeed.

  31. hunter says

    Neville,
    The true believers no longer care if a skeptic is actually correct, or even if a skeptic is accurately quoting something. all that matters is that it came by way of a skeptic, and so must e bad. Afterall, in AGW true beleiver land cooling is warming, wet is dry, last year’s prediciton of dry and warm is actually this year’s wet and cold; slr is rising when it isn’t, and all of this is unprecedented, even when it isn’t.

  33. Neville says

    Hunter I couldn’t agree more. This is really just another fundamentalist religious cult with all the delusional stupidity that cults promote.

  34. bazza says

    Bit of a stretch Luke, seeing Nev as maybe useful (“I know someone in a climate unit at uni uses his service as a clipping file for the junk arguments list’). He could be more comprehensive for example on the UK climate/weather. There must be a truly devastating sceptic argument rooted on the presence of 1954 in the top five wettest years on record. There are only four this century.!

  35. Neville says

    The American Physical Society is reviewing its 2007 statement on climate. They’ve asked 6 experts to give their opinions and the sane scientists are Curry, Lindzen and Christy.
    They’d better watch out or Ben Santer could threaten to punch them like he promised to punch Pat Michaels some time ago.
    Some of these cultists leave a lot to be desired. Perhaps a proper observation and history of the real physical world would make a good start?

  39. Minister for Common Sense says

    Contrary to what that moron from Qld and his side kick say, I reckon your posts are excellent stuff

    …they document the extent of the stupidity by the alarmists frauds that call themselves scientists and economists, and does so by referencing a huge amount of material that exposes it for the utter b/s that it all is.

    They are all too stupid to recognise that even if the science as they say, is in ( which itself is about as dumb as unscientific statement as you can possibly get), our ability to effect any reduction temperature, is so close to zero its not worth worrying about

    But still the cretins pushed the Rudd/ Gillard Govt/Shorten/Greens into throwing away our competitive advantage, namely cheap power for NO worthwhile gain at all.

    The utter futility of it all is now being directly and indirectly visited upon all those poor buggers who now are out of jobs.

    …and all because of a con, a fraud, a complete greenoidal scam, for which there are 1350 PR papers that don’t support it.

    What an absolute joke

  40. Debbie says

    Luke,
    “I know someone in a climate unit at uni uses his service as a clipping file for the junk arguments list. ”
    ROFLMAO! 🙂 🙂

    That’s very funny Luke.

    ‘ratbag disinformation denialosphere ‘
    ROFLMAO! 🙂 🙂

    That is very funny too.

    And Bazza’s response is hilarious.

  41. Luke says

    Come on Minsey – it’s pure disinformation sludge and drivel from fifth columnists who should be rounded up and licensed. All fodder for right wing wack jobs who think Fox News is source ! Stop screeching like a banshee and get medicated.

  43. Minister for Common Sense says

    Well, there has been no one better at not reading and comprehending papers that have been referenced on this blog over many years, than you….including your own references.

    In addition the compilation of the papers in this instance is prefaced by a rebuttal of all the standard alarmist clap trap that dills like you peddle.

    As for screeching etc there a been no one more than you who has sprayed bile and invective, also at a constant rate over many years, in your idiot lone ranger defence of the increasingly indefensible….but hasn’t got intellectual nous nor common sense to realise that the game is up.

    But dont worry fortunately there are better people than your sort able to clean this mess up..

    I wonder what the next alarmist scam will be.

  44. bazza says

    Deb, I am pleased you found mine hilarious but alas sadly you will need to find some other source of amusement. I am being moderated into the ether for no other reason than I put Delingpoles stuff into a climate perspective, given that Nev gets away with posting the same link 3 times. What I wrote was :
    “Took your advice Nev and looked for real world stuff. Why didn’t Delingpole mention that in the UK 4 of 5 wettest years on record and all 7 of the hottest years are this century”.

  45. Debbie says

    So Luke?
    Have you read the 1350 papers?
    How can you be so certain they’re all crap?
    I certainly haven’t read all 1350 (not even close) but the few I have read are indeed peer reviewed and published and authored by people with relevant qualifications from reputable institutions.
    They cover an impressive range of topics from general climate matters to specifics like wildfires or polar bears and even some on the socio/economic/political aspects. (Jen has copy/pasted that list in her post)
    There is also a FAQ type section called ‘rebuttals to criticism’ that you could perhaps peruse. . . which may then save you from being unnecessarily critical of something that has been designed as a resource. . .because. . . the meme has been that there is some type of settled scientific ‘consensus’ and that there are no ‘serious’ reputable scientific studies (aka peer reviewed and published) that provide alternative views to the AGW hypothesis.
    http://www.populartechnology.net/2009/10/peer-reviewed-papers-supporting.html#Preface
    Bazza,
    It appears you’re no longer in moderation?
    It has happened to me sometimes too. . . but it is usually just an error. . . either a typo by me or some momentary glitch with the site.
    It is highly, highly unlikely that Jen is ‘conspiring’ to favour Neville over you.
    No offence Bazza, but I do find your adherence to the hyperbole and pretentious behaviour that reports weather/climate events as if they are some type of sporting or stock market event very amusing.
    As has been mentioned before. . .MET, BoM, IPCC & etc do not own the means to PRODUCE the climate/weather. . .they also don’t possess a monopoly over IP that can manufacture better weather/climate. . .or perhaps TREAT the climate/weather in the future. . . by fiddling around with global and domestic markets.

  46. bazza says

    gee thanks Deb. But there is a huge market for weather information and in a climate context. And I know from contacts in the UK how concerned they are. Anyway, why do you keep weather info?
    moving right along, I have a conundrum that is beyond semantics – you may be able to get me sorted on. This Pop Tech list seems to be seen as something to do with peer-reviewed science articles on CAGW. But scientists don’t use the term?

  47. Debbie says

    Bazza,
    Seems to be?????????????
    Read the link and perhaps particularly the ‘rebuttals to criticism’ section.
    And then … as Luke would say….report back.
    There is no need for me to sort out your conundrum… the Poptech resource link deals with that question plus many others.
    If you think the language is not ‘sciency’ enough, then please take it up with Poptech or perhaps the authors of the papers.
    This question is rather cryptic:
    “Anyway, why do you keep weather info?”
    I’m unclear how it relates to my comment above.
    If you would care to demonstrate the relevance of that question I will attempt to answer it.

  48. hunter says

    Debbie,
    Notice how the believer is questioning your keeping of information is a way to undermine the legitimacy of your keeping it. So he can dismiss any non-AGW conclusions you may draw from it.
    In the believer’s mind non-believers are not entitled to keep information if they do not come to the correct conclusions.
    Think of the period of Catholicism when the bible was kept out of the hands of the common folk lest they cause trouble thinking for themselves.

  49. hunter says

    bazza,
    Why don’t you notice that the UK Met, obsessed with AGW, has gotten worse and worse at predicting weather?
    And since they are using a CO2 centered model, they cannot reasonably blame the CO2 for their failure.
    As to your assertion of wettest and warmest, bunk.

  50. Debbie says

    Yes Hunter,
    On past performance. . . that would certainly be one way to interpret that question.
    I could also answer with the ‘bleeding obvious’. . . . ah duh!. . . I’m an irrigation farmer in the MIA. . .straight off the top of my head I can supply MANY reasons why I would keep weather info!
    Duh!

  51. Luke says

    makes you wonder how much these guys mention religion. Closet bible bashers perhaps. And also verballing us of alarmism? What us?

  52. Neville says

    A good response by McNider and Christy to the Kerry donkey. They use facts and obervations of the satellite and balloon data sets over the last one third of a century to prove their case.
    Kerry just resorts to more delusional BS to try and bluster his way through their alarmist nonsense.
    The graph easily proves the sceptics are right and the cultists are wrong.

    http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/02/20/a-must-read-why-secretary-of-state-john-kerry-is-flat-wrong-on-climate-change/

  53. Luke says

    Neville parades his usual rubbish. What drivel. No references. No error bars. What a content free joke you are.

  54. Neville says

    Geeezzzz Luke with a desperate reply like that we know that we can keep quoting the quality scientists like Christy, McNider, Spencer, Lindzen, Curry etc again and again. Plus we should keep quoting the PR studies that support our case.

    By now just about everyone understands the importance of the PDO/ enso over the last 33 years and it certainly seems to account for so much of temp change over that time. And co2 doesn’t seem to be much of a driver at all.
    Just look at Judith Curry’s reference to 20th century SLR as well. Why were the earlier trends the same as the later trends if the co2 effect is so important?
    Also many new SL studies also show a deceleration in the rise.

  55. Neville says

    Here’s part of that post by Judith Curry about AR4 compared to IPCC AR5.

    “Nielsen-Gammon says he has no disagreement with these individual points from my testimony:

    ■Lack of warming since 1998 and the growing discrepancies between observations and climate model projections
    ■Evidence of decreased climate sensitivity to increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations
    ■Evidence that sea level rise during 1920-1950 is of the same magnitude as in 1993-2012
    ■Increasing Antarctic sea ice extent”
    Nielsen-Gammon further agrees with the following statements from my testimony:

    “Multiple lines of evidence presented in the IPCC AR5 WG1 report suggest that the case for anthropogenic warming is weaker than the previous assessment AR4 in 2007. Anthropogenic global warming is a proposed theory whose basic mechanism is well understood, but whose magnitude is highly uncertain. The growing evidence that climate models are too sensitive to CO2 has implications for the attribution of late 20th century warming and projections of 21st century climate.”

    “If the recent warming hiatus is caused by natural variability, then this raises the question as to what extent the warming between 1975 and 2000 can also be explained by natural climate variability.”

  58. Neville says

    Silly Luke caught out AGAIN with his failure to respond to the sane scientists and real observations. As every month goes by he just gets more desperate.

  61. Debbie says

    Hotwhopper???????
    Seriously??????
    From someone who often whines about ratbag disinformation sites???

    http://blog.hotwhopper.com/p/about-us.html

    This is Sou’s comment from the piece Luke has linked:

    “Global warming isn’t all “man” made. It’s likely that more than 100% of the current warming is because of human activity. “Made” by men and women. And it’s definitely a serious problem and going to get worse if we don’t do something about it.”

    And I’m guessing that this article is about that ‘something’ we have to do about this definitely serious problem?

  62. Avatar photojennifer says

    Thanks Handjive for that link. And I think John did a good interview if you listen to the audio. Jen

  65. Luke says

    Neville you’re just a climate porn peddler. Really you should be ashamed of your indiscriminate vulgarity. And obviously you’re addicted and can’t stop.

  67. Luke says

    Of course as we know Nifty the climate porn peddler never reads what he posts. Good to see Nick Stokes all over McIntyre.

  68. Neville says

    Yes I did read ALL the comments, but if he gives you comfort then I suppose it’s OK.

    Interesting new study from the ice cores on Greenland. It seems to show that the NATURAL change from the Younger Dryas to the Holocene occured over just one year. This resolution is not just year by year but much shorter periods. If true it is truly incredible and indeed hard to believe.

    http://joannenova.com.au/2014/02/greenland-ice-cores-show-natural-swings-are-large-and-warming-means-less-storms/#more-33952

  69. Minister for Common Sense says

    I see the alarmist hypocrite is out of bed early this morning.

    As for Stokes being all over McIntyre, that’s a side show to the drubbing that Mann will be getting, and exposure that crap science and management overall will be getting in a court room at last.
    Fun days ahead.

    Keep ’em coming Neville.

  71. Luke says

    Come on Minsey – McIntyre has now become a tedious old bore to the denialist industry with his interminably long essays about who knows what and endless conspiracy theories. Neville doesn’t even read it. He just snips the headline.

  72. Minister for Common Sense says

    What I said was that …its doesn’t alter the fact that it is a side show to the real event that is about to happen, whereby Mann and his entourage will be fully exposed.

    Another example of just what a hypocrite you are… with double standards all over the place.

    Fortunately I also happen to believe that these antics are not the norm, with the climatariat over all. ..so I do wonder how you keep your job.

    Pissing people off on both sides of the fence is not very clever.

  74. Luke says

    “whereby Mann and his entourage will be fully exposed.” don’t make me laugh – what utter rot

  76. Neville says

    Minister that’s a very good column about the Mann fraudster. Perhaps if a decent quality scientist like Curry sued this dunce it might indeed accomplish a good outcome?

  78. Luke says

    The only fraud here Neville is you, the climate porn peddler, with your daily harvest of disinformation and rat dirt. Mindless little person.

  81. Minister for Common Sense says

    It seems that the more blatant the deceits that are exposed the more frenetic the rabid utterances from the spokesman from climate central.

    It doesn’t seem to matter what rock is lifted to expose the dirt underneath to the light of day, there is always a smell involved.

    I wonder how long this can go on before the climatariat and the various Governments, as the representative of the people who pay for all this crapola, decides/demands that a clean up is required.. and where on earth would you start.

  82. Luke says

    Fantasise on Neville. NOBODY in the “climatariat” has been arrested for anything. Licence sceptics not guns. Anyone ranting about conspiracies is a tin foil hat raving certifiable looney.

  83. Minister for Common Sense says

    Thank you for continuing to prove my point.

    The only reason no one has been arrested is that its not a crime to be incompetent, and further reforming peer review is too difficult, because of the strings of vested interests….but it is generally accepted that it is an unsafe way for evaluating and ranking the value of science related expenditure, of public monies in a modern world. A moments inquiry will reveal this

    Further the IPCC as set up does not work in the best interests of the general public being tainted with mad dog NGO’s, and poor administrative processes including the head line charter which requires that it proves that AGW exists. etc.

    When the initial goal is poorly defined and biased, its no wonder what follows is treated with suspicion… if not contempt.

    But then when its run by a second rate railway engineer and real life porn peddler, what can one expect.

  84. Luke says

    More screeching – blah blah blah

    So as human civilisation progresses through rapid technological development you’re telling me that science and peer review are irreparably broken. Adjust the aerial on the tin foil hat.

  85. Minister for Common Sense says

    Yet more jumping to conclusions by the resident alarmist and all round mensa challenged muppet .

    PR in the modern context is clearly flawed, and filled with examples of fraudulent behaviour. It may have provided some utility in the past but there are now obvious areas of improvement screaming out to be fixed…secrecy, shonky data and boys club approaches are but one set.

    Most other processes and practices in society are subjected to constant review and improvement, and that is how society as a whole has advanced… but PR is somehow sacrosanct …

    As a method of ranking and assessing huge amounts of public expenditure its time to say enough is enough.

    Please take the bait and come back with your usual tart and illogical response… it will just get added to the list.

  90. Minister for Common Sense says

    Hi Neville,

    Here is another interesting one to add to the list of PR failures. I don’t know about you but I have an ever increasing list that I have collected over the years that is now quite large.

    I wonder if I could get grant from the ARGC or the Auditor General to show what crock PR is.

    http://joannenova.com.au/2014/02/busted-120-gibberish-science-papers-withdrawn-so-much-for-peer-review/#more-34043

    You would have thought that the science fraternity would do more to fix up the mess ..if they don’t… the public clamour for change will just keep on growing.

  91. Luke says

    “Over at climate audit Steve continues his relentless pursuit of the Mann donkey.” yes what a pathetic grub he is. Typical denialist tactic – Maccer is a one man band denial of service attack.

    Minsey hates PR – would prefer his unqualified mates to get a free kick or just go the free for all. Let’s all have a bash at neurosurgery – how hard could it be?

    Blog rednecks – the force that keeps giving and why democracy is probably a bad thing.

  92. Minister for Common Sense says

    More vacuous nonsense from village idiot acting as the self appointed spokes person of the climatariat.

    No where have I said or even intimated that the unqualified should get free kicks or indicated that democracy is a bad thing.

    …sheer paranoia and desperation to fill the voids….with complete rubbish as per usual.

    Just gets added to the list
