Expert software engineer and climate science blogger/critic Tony Heller just posted a video commenting on the just newly released National Climate Assessment (NCA) report:
“Utter garbage”
Heller starts by pointing out that “there’s a huge number of problems” with the report and that the content contradicts itself, even on the same page.
Heller says that the claim that the number of record hot days is on the rise “is simply not true” and he wonders how peer review “allows this sort of utter garbage to get through.” Heller makes it clear that this report belongs in the garbage can of science.
Wildly fraudulent
Heller methodically explains how the NCA report used faulty computational methods to make it appear as if more record hot days have been occurring, when in fact the trend has been the opposite.
The National Climate Assessment graph is wildly fraudulent. Not only have record maximum temperatures plummeted in the US, but record minimum temperatures have plummeted too. The US climate is getting milder, not more extreme.”
Record minimum daily temperatures (blue) and record daily maximum
temperatures (red) have been falling “tremendously”, thus contradicting
NCA report claims. Chart: Tony Heller here.
The computational methodology used by the NCA report authors is so dubious that Heller even goes on to wonder how “this sort of scientific garbage” ever got through peer-review.
Consistent poor quality
Heller then singles out one of the authors of the report, known Texas Tech University climate activist/alarmist Katharine Hayhoe, reminding viewers that he has examined her work many times in the past and that the NCA report’s poor quality is consistent with what he has seen from Hayhoe in the past.
Heller’s makes his frustration with government-funded climate science clear: “Government-funded climate science is the biggest fraud in history.”
That statement by Heller can be illustrated, however, as the history of government science fraud is long, tragic, and has cost tens of millions of lives just in the last century alone. Other examples of government science fraud include eugenics, the science of race, Lysenkoism, and the carbohydrate-promoting nutritional guidelines of the late 20th century, to name a few.
History indeed tells us to be very careful and skeptical about government-funded science.
One for the dustbin
President Trump should send this report to a thorough review by a panel of independent critical scientists.
