Mission: Falsify or fail to falsify the the alarmist effects of CO2 levels in our atmosphere. Report findings to patrons and interested parties.
I’ve been whining about the lack of real funding for man-made global warming skeptics for some time now. The amount of funding that has gone into the alarmist side is staggering, $100’s of billions have been spent on all the research and public relations. What has the Return on Investment (RoI) been?
- Zero experiments (able to be falsified) conducted that tie Temperatures to CO2 levels.
- 10’s of 1000’s of articles, paid for from Tax Revenue, on Effects of man-made global warming while never comparing to the Null hypothesis that it is Natural Climate Variability like it was from 4 Billion B.C. to A.D. 1950. They loosely assume Nature stopped doing what it has always done in 1950 and since then CO2 has taken control of climate.
- More calls and public relations to surrender more of our income and freedom to those who have wasted it for decades.
I’m saying “no more”. “Panic, and surrender more of your income and freedom” is not a policy worth continuing to pay for. We shouldn’t be paying for anything that is a repeat of that or similar messages. We know that the Alarmists believe that CO2 levels are going to lead to catastrophe. I don’t want my tax money going towards another study that says the same thing. There’s already 10,000+ of them. If you can’t convince the masses with 10,000+ articles and studies, another million won’t do it.
I want another message displayed to the masses with our tax money. The message that says “Don’t panic, it was a mild hallucination, it didn’t feel right for a good reason.” Truthful messages like “the Greenland Ice Sheet melted the last 2 interglacials like this one. It has not yet and we don’t know why.” It might be prudent to look at the studies already written about what would happen if sea levels rose 6 meters like it did the last two interglacials.
It happened twice before. I’m not saying it has to happen this interglacial, but it would be smart to consider that Nature did it twice before and CO2 never got above 280ppm. Okay? CO2 above 280ppm is NOT REQUIRED to have higher or lower temperatures, different degrees of storm intensity, or Greenland Ice Sheet to melt, like it already did two times before.
I’d like to see some studies that try to figure out what IS REQUIRED to have higher and lower temps, different degrees of storm intensity, and the Greenland Ice Sheet to melt, like it did the last two times. I’d like to see Climate Calm’ists get paid to give us the facts, attempt to Falsify hypotheses, and promote deeper inquiry.
So, all that said, I have fundingforskpetics.com and .org. I’m considering the best way to set it up and what it’s core mission shall be. I like the mission stated at the beginning. I think it would be both moral and ethical to lobby for Tax Revenue for Skeptical Scholarly Articles and Experiments.
And if Skeptics fail to falsify the AGW hypotheses, the AGW argument will get more solid.
Who would you nominate to get funding? What do you think they could provide for the funding we acquire for them?
