Real Climate Smack down:

Lord Monckton Rebuttal to Gavin Schmidt



A Response to Gavin Schmidt’s Critique of Monckton’s “Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered” Excerpt: For the second time, the FalseClimate1 propaganda blog, founded by two co-authors of the now-discredited2 “hockey-stick” graph by which the UN’s climate panel tried unsuccessfully to abolish the mediaeval warm period, has launched a malevolent, scientifically-illiterate, and unscientifically-ad-hominem attack on a publication by me.

My 8000-word paper, Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered3, was published in Physics and Society in July 2008, after a request from the editors that I should submit a paper setting out the methods by which the UN had overstated the likely warming in response to doubling the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Monckton Rebuts Dr. Arthur Smith of American Physcial Society

Excerpt: Dr. Smith’s criticisms of my paper are superficially ingenious but in reality unmeritorious. Objectively speaking, the IPCC’s method of evaluating climate sensitivity, which is faithfully, concisely, and correctly expounded in the first part of my paper, suffers from multiple exaggerations and contains serious conceptual flaws – such as the abuse of the Bode equation – and is subject to uncertainties whose combined effect is so great as to render meaningless its 2007 conclusion that, to a 90% confidence interval, we have been responsible for more than half of the warming that may have occurred over the past half-century, and which ceased with the great el Nino of 1998. Were we to be permitted to stray from the mathematics and physics just for a fleeting instant, we might say of the IPCC’s conclusions what Pope Innocent X said of the Treaty of Westphalia – that they are “null, void, invalid, iniquitous, unjust, damnable, reprobate, inane, and empty of meaning for all time.” (More...)
