A Human Mystery — Scientists Incapable of Science

“The people who are supposed to be the experts and who claim to understand the science are precisely the people who are blind to the evidence…I hope that a few of them will make the effort to examine the evidence in detail and see how it contradicts the prevailing dogma, but I know that the majority will remain blind. That to me is the central mystery of climate science. It is not a scientific mystery but a human mystery. How does it happen that the whole generation of scientific experts is blind to obvious facts?” – Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson, the man that holds the same position that Albert Einstein did at Princeton, has taken a look at climate change and observed that the physical observations simply don’t support the conclusions reached by the climate alarmists.

[A] simple theory explains far more about the recent warming than CO2 and is supported by the data.

1. The oceans are warming
2. The oceans control the global climate
3. What is warming the oceans is also warming the atmosphere above the oceans
4. CO2 and the LWIR wavelengths that it radiates (13 to 18 microns) don’t warm water
5. Visible radiation between 0.4 and 0.7 microns do[es] warm water
6. More visible radiation mu[st] reach the oceans to cause warming
7. That can happen through fewer low clouds, a hotter sun or both

The problem with the CO2 caused climate change is that CO2 and temperatures don’t correlate. CO2 is a smooth near-linear variable and temperatures are all over the place and highly variable. Most important however is that temperatures have different characteristics over different time periods. CO2 doesn’t, it just increases in a nearly linear fashion since the start of the industrial era. In other words, temperatures don’t zig when CO2 zags. Temperatures zig a lot, and CO2 doesn’t zag much, and when it does it is mostly in the same direction, up.
