RUSH: Dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut. Trumpet fanfare. Time for an update, touch on some global warming news here. Paul Shanklin is as Algore.<\/p>\n

(Playing of Ball of Fire spoof song.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. That\u2019s Algore, Ball of Fire, one of our three rotating global warming update themes. An amazing story here from Reuters. This is so full of See, I Told You Sos. I mean, try the headline: ‘Scientists Try New Ways to Predict Climate Risks.\u2019 Yes, you heard correctly. ‘Scientists are trying to improve predictions about the impact of global warming this century by pooling estimates about the risk of floods or desertification. ‘We feel certain about some of the aspects of future climate change, like that it is going to get warmer,\u2019 said Matthew Collins of the British Met Office. ‘But on many of the details it\u2019s very difficult to say.” What the hell does that mean? We feel certain about some of the aspects of the future, like it\u2019s going to get warmer, but on many of the details, it\u2019s very difficult to say, which means they don\u2019t have a clue. Which means they don\u2019t know. ‘The way that we can deal with this is a new technique of expressing the predictions in terms of probabilities,\u2019 Collins told Reuters.<\/p>\n

‘Scientists in the U.N. climate panel, for instance, rely on several complex computer models to forecast the impacts of warming this century, ranging from changing rainfall patterns over Africa to rising global sea levels. But these have flaws because of a lack of understanding about how clouds form, for instance, or how Antarctica\u2019s ice will react to less cold. And reliable temperature records in most nations stretch back only about 150 years.\u2019 It\u2019s every argument I have made to not listen to these people. We don\u2019t have the slightest idea how clouds are formed. Nobody can predict what the percentage of cloud cover is gonna be unless you have a big front coming through and you know you\u2019re going to be overcast. On a day-to-day basis, they can\u2019t do it. They know the process, but they don\u2019t know how big they\u2019re going to be, their altitude, they know nothing. ‘Under new techniques looking at probabilities, ‘predictions from different models are pooled to produces estimates,” meaning the flawed research we get from one model is going to be combined with the flawed research from another model. We\u2019re going to come up with probabilities based on what both of these flawed models say.<\/p>\n

‘The approach might help quantify risks for a construction firm building homes in a flood-prone valley..\u2019 If a flood-prone valley is flood-prone, they already know the risk. It\u2019s like people building homes on the beach. You know that it can happen; there\u2019s going to be a hurricane. People still do it. They\u2019re willing to take the risk. ‘Collins said uncertainties include how natural disasters out of human control affect the climate. A volcanic eruption, such of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, can temporarily cool the earth because the dust blocks sunlight.\u2019 Another See, I Told You So. Now, here\u2019s what\u2019s interesting about that passage to me. They admit that a volcano is out of human control. Well, tell me, if a volcano is out of human control, then how the hell is anything else involved in the weather in human control? Somebody tell me this. ‘Man is destroying the planet, Mr. Limbaugh! There\u2019s no question about this. There\u2019s been a documented consensus of scientists.\u2019 Then the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance, David Stainforth of Oxford University in England: ‘Climate science is a very new science and we have only just begun to explore the uncertainties. We should expect the uncertainty to increase rather than decrease\u2019 in coming years as scientists work to understand the climate. That would complicate the chances of assigning probabilities.\u2019 Now, wait a minute. We\u2019ve heard from a bunch of groups. There\u2019s no question anymore, scientific consensus, it\u2019s there. These guys say there is going to be even more uncertainty in the future, more and more uncertainty. The more they learn the more they realize they don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
