Dr. Naomi Oreskes is the science historian whose book “Merchants of Doubt” was the take off point of the new must-see movie of the same name.
John Cook interviewed her in San Francisco this past December, and I was lucky enough to listen in. All these interviews are part of John’s Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on climate communication and climate denial – more on that here.
For more on the book and movie, see below:
Yes, simple chemistry/physics of absorption/emission. And yet. Ignoramuses everywhere arrogantly point out stupid irrelevant soundbytes of data they think “disproves” the whole thing. Just take a look at comment number 1 over on Realclimate’s ‘Hypothesis about cold winters’ blog. Every time, there they are, right at the top, declaring everyone else but them is stupid.
Ha, ha! Catastrophic Warmists! The 17 year pause and increase in Antarctic Sea Ice extent and Greenland precipitation all point to the cosmic ray seeding of clouds per CERN, whilst the sun melts the Mars polar cap with its sun spots and people fudge the isostatic rebound to make it seem like the oceans are rising because you can’t trust the satellites (except for UHA before pal-review forced them to revise), not to mention the FACT that the not-well-mixed CO2 gas plant food, whose ppm delta from baseline is only a tiny, tiny percent, only radiates light that the ocean can’t absorb like my IR gun pointed at a bowl of water, and my proprietary pattern detection software I made on my IBM 486 shows that we are in a clear, long term, natural variation pattern, but because the sun is quieting down, which will lead to significant freezing the next few decades, this local apex isn’t as great as the Roman and Medieval ones, utterly destroying Jame Hansen’s Scenario B, proving all the models are Chicken Little Alarmists, crying at the top of their lungs, whose watermelon users unilaterally possess designs to funnel carbon tax money through UN Agenda 21 to the Marxists that plan on controlling all third world states with their exploding wind turbines and solar bicycles, making Al Gore billions.
Happy April 1st everyone.
Isn’t all of that true? I’m a dumb old guy and get so confused sometimes.
Excellent April 1st. message! Here’s another.

I knew Inhofe and Cruz were on to something! Oh, I forgot to add climategate to my sentence. Maybe next year…
