Title: Majority
Post by # on Oct 6th, 2013 at 10:18am
From the smallest club, through company boards to the governments of our states and nation, the significance of majority is recognised. Perversely, those in denial about global warming assert that a majority of scientists is insignificant.

Is majority insignificant, merely because it involves scientists?

You should be asking how was this consensus formed...???


Quote:
That Scientific Global Warming Consensus…Not! – Forbes

By Larry Bell


So where did that famous “consensus” claim that “98% of all scientists believe in global warming” come from?


It originated from an endlessly reported 2009 American Geophysical Union (AGU) survey consisting of an intentionally brief two-minute, two question online survey sent to 10,257 earth scientists by two researchers at the University of Illinois.

Of the about 3.000 who responded, 82% answered “yes” to the second question, which like the first, most people I know would also have agreed with.

Then of those, only a small subset, just 77 who had been successful in getting more than half of their papers recently accepted by peer-reviewed climate science journals, were considered in their survey statistic.

That “98% all scientists” referred to a laughably puny number of 75 of those 77 who answered “yes”.


That anything-but-scientific survey asked two questions.

The first:

“When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?”

Few would be expected to dispute this…the planet began thawing out of the “Little Ice Age” in the middle 19th century, predating the Industrial Revolution. (That was the coldest period since the last real Ice Age ended roughly 10,000 years ago.)

The second question asked:

“Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?”
 
So what constitutes “significant”? Does “changing” include both cooling and warming… and for both “better” and “worse”? And which contributions…does this include land use changes, such as agriculture and deforestation?

    True.

    "Fifty one percent of the 18,829 people across 23 countries who took part in the survey said they were convinced there is an afterlife and a divine entity, while 18 percent said they don't believe in a god and 17 percent weren't sure."

    That's a really good point.
    This begs two questions:
    1. Is 12 000 + papers, many of which 5/6/7 to a single author a credible sample size for a world wide scientific consensus?
    2. Would a survey not be discarded if it skewed results and refused to heed the complaints of the authors it was surveying?

    What I mean about question two is in the Cook et al survey, only 8% of the 12 000+ papers (12 000+ papers no authors, even authors would be a small sample size wouldn't you say?) were classified as "explicit endorsements". Of that 8% many authors came forward and complained about miss-classification, also how many have been miss-classified and haven't come forward? For them to manipulate such a small numbers, in spite of miss-classification charges, to stretch out such a small amount of papers and call it 97% of a survey where 12 000 papers were reviewed is ridiculous. Add on the bias of the people actually reviewing the papers. Add on the bias of discounting "no opinion" papers despite specifically saying they would be counted as no votes, whilst putting that 8% into a graph whilst NOT showing a graph of the total paper results is ludicrous IMO.

    Reasonable people would accept that none of us is qualified to judge. Any reasonable person would acknowledge that those who reviewed Cook 2013 and approved it for publication in Environmental Research Letters are qualified.

    Vuk11 evidently believes, fervently, but he's no better qualified than you or I, Ajax.

    is that a majority of scientists is as significant as any other majority.

    Reinforcing the consensus is the fact that, as far as I know, no major scientific body disagrees.

    No, majority is vitally important for making decisions in clubs, company boards and governments. Because those institutions operate on the will of the voters. Deciding where to go for your holidays is also something where a majority is useful.

    HOWEVER, majority is totally meaningless in science, because science is based on evidence and fact, not on the will of the voters.

    Since science is 'majority based', does that mean that the Earth is flat, at the centre of the Universe, and the Sun orbits the Earth???

    Anything can be attacked. That doesn't mean that the attack is valid.

    You have not substantiated the expertise of those who supposedly refuted Cook 2013. You have not even been able to link to any peer-reviewed journal in which the so-called refutation was published.

    If you can find the relevant publication, then we'll need to consider the relative standing of the relevant journals. Outside the denyosphere, the so-called refutation hasn't raise so much as a ripple. From what I've seen the paper in question was written solely for denialists. Nobody else takes it seriously. It's up to you the establish its credibility.

    I presume you're getting confused over Galileo and Copernicus.

    Galileo was a scientist who had the temerity to elevate science over the dominant religious orthodoxy. He didn't discover anything new; if you look into it, you'll find that the Greeks knew that the earth is round, centuries before Christ. Copernicus, I'll leave to you.

    That you don't know the difference between science and religion does your credibility no good. It probably explains your denialism though.

    The only model that takes account of all variables, interactions and negative and positive feedbacks is the one we're in...every thing else is speculation and most equates to garbage in, garbage out as in no models predicted the warming "pause"...so it can't happen...the model don't allow it.

    Actually let's forget models that don't work or are insufficient and take a look at the Antarctic Ice Core data that shows actual temperature falling and CO2 increasing or where Co2 is falling and temperature is increasing Or you can go further back to where CO2 was 7000ppm...must have been hot then...a gizillion degrees I'd reckon...  ;D

    The problem is his focus. He focusses on historical data, particularly the Medieval Warming period. It's totally irrelevant to any argument.  Nobody has any accurate measurements from that period anyway. All we have is proxies for temperature and CO2. Solar Irradiance and other forcings for that period are pretty rubbery.

    It's all quite interesting I'm sure, but really has nothing to do with the properties of the CO2 molecule, which is the crux of the matter.

    You're right and I agree.
    It focuses on history and credibility mainly and for that it's great at clearing up some claims like the hockey stick and pointing things out like temperature monitors next to air vents and waste treatment plants.

    He does have in there some predictions and some information about adaptation/costs etc. The predictions are just extrapolated trends with nothing else really behind them, however it's main use is to show where people lose credibility.

    That's exactly why I've posted it in the past, to help clear things up historically (as you rightly point out beyond a certain time period there's no real reliable data) and expose fraudulent acts. It's more of a politically centered piece against the IPCC rather than analysis of new research so you're right on that.

    Isn't deforestation additional to your original argument?
    In any case you're confusing "could" with "did" which requires a burden of proof from you.
    You still havn't "explained" the relationship between CO2 and temperature since the Precambrian...because you can't...without knocking down your own sand castle.

    Then you would understand that rising CO2 levels attributed to human activities cause our planet's thermal retention rate to increase.

    This basic undeniable, verifiable scientific FACT is commonly known as Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW)

    It is a well established basic primary school level scientific fact that empirically dates back to the late 1980s

    Have you found any models and accompanying theoretical foundations that show cooling or static global temperatures as CO2 levels increase with time?

    Chimpy the Earth is going to cool, because the sun hasn't got any more measles, well at least not for acouple of decades anyway.

    Its already started, we have had more than one third of ALL manmade CO2 emissions going into our atmosphere since 1998 yet temperature have flat lined.

    This has left your furores scratching their heads, their computer circulations models showed unequivocal every decade.

    Tony Abbott's new direct action sceptics

    Leading economists have overwhelmingly rejected Tony Abbott's direct action climate change policy and backed carbon pricing.

    A Fairfax Media survey of 35 prominent university and business economists found only two believed direct action was the better way to limit Australia's greenhouse gas emissions. Thirty - or 86 per cent - favoured the existing carbon price scheme. Three rejected both schemes.

    Internationally renowned Australian economist Justin Wolfers, of the Washington-based Brookings Institution and the University of Michigan, said he was surprised that any economists would opt for direct action, under which the government will pay for emissions cuts by businesses and farmers from a budget worth $2.88 billion over four years.

    Professor Wolfers said direct action would involve more economic disruption but have a lesser environmental pay-off than an emissions trading scheme, under which big emitters must pay for their pollution.

    The extraordinary challenge of limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees - the level scientists consider necessary - was underlined by a new report by European consultants Ecofys that found Australia would have to cut emissions by at least 27 per cent by 2020 to play its part.

    Australia has a bipartisan target of 5 per cent below 2000 levels by 2020. The Climate Change Authority - set up by Labor and which the Coalition plans to abolish - will this week release its draft recommendation on Australia's 2020 target.

    Some said the direct action plan would rely too much on bureaucratic decisions. "If I had to make a choice between pricing carbon and having bureaucrats allocating permits, then I'm going to go for the market mechanism every time," said Rob Henderson, a National Australia Bank senior economist.

    I presume you're getting confused over Galileo and Copernicus.

    Galileo was a scientist who had the temerity to elevate science over the dominant religious orthodoxy. He didn't discover anything new; if you look into it, you'll find that the Greeks knew that the earth is round, centuries before Christ. Copernicus, I'll leave to you.

    That you don't know the difference between science and religion does your credibility no good. It probably explains your denialism though.


    That you can't spot sarcasm isn't that much of a surprise...

    But being confused over 'majority' when that's the thread title that YOU chose is just ridiculous. And selectively quoting a response to your OP is being deliberately dishonest..

    p.s Not 'denialism'...skepticism.


    scepticism is a Greek word, it means being able to think and question what is happening in the world around you and temper that understanding with experience and wisdom. It is a critical element in the scientific method.

    that kind of rules you out doesn't it you smelly freaked up weasel stench clown maggot


    Actually..it 'rules' me 'IN', since the concept of 'scepticism' means ' being able to think and question what is happening in the world around you and temper that understanding with experience and wisdom.'...which is what I actually do..

    The only model that takes account of all variables, interactions and negative and positive feedbacks is the one we're in...every thing else is speculation and most equates to garbage in, garbage out as in no models predicted the warming "pause"...so it can't happen...the model don't allow it. Here's a cooling prediction however from the IPCC for Britain (actually big chunks of the NH would be effected) for the gulf stream to slow by 20 to 44 percent. However to tie this to any anthropogenic warming is a bit rich as it has stopped and started many times in the past without our help.


    jet powered flight is also controlled and optimised using computer modelling theory and empirical data

    do you fly much?

    what was the date of the first fire in the Blue Mountains?

    Do some research mr Greggy

    Do you think the warming planet has increased the intensity and frequency of bush fire events in Australia?

    I'm not getting in to this thread, because the effects we're seeing at this stage are subtle. I wouldn't like to put money on whether or not this particular episode is due to global warming.  It's a bit too early to say. When we get to the stage of + 2 degrees, the more severe effects will become apparent.

    you make a good point muso

    An individual weather event cant definitively be attributed to a warming planet but a statistically significant trend in event intensity and/or frequency can.

    No doubt about that, and there have been some good studies in that area. Unfortunately Adam Bandt's recent proclamations have not really helped. If we are to get the point across, it must be through painfully methodical application of the facts.

    It's important that we don't contaminate those facts with political propaganda.
