Where Were the "Climate Scientists?"

Howard “Cork” Hayden, Prof. Emeritus of Physics, UConn, corkhayden@comcast.net |
Abstract: Look up the climate for a certain place you’d like to visit, and you’ll find long-term averages of temperature, rainfall, snowfall, humidity, and the like. Properly, “long-term” implies at least 30 years.
When climatologists talk about “the climate,” they refer to such data averaged all over the planet. Phenomena such as a hot spell in New England, a whole season of hotter weather than average in the Great Plains, or “atmospheric rivers” causing unusual flooding in California are local weather events, not changes in local climate, and certainly not changes in planetary climate.

The Thumb on the Scale

Howard “Cork” Hayden, Prof. Emeritus of Physics, UConn, corkhayden@comcast.net |
Abstract: The dinosaurs lived when the average global temperature was 6ºC to 10ºC warmer than it is now, so you might think that there has been some climate change since that time. According to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), you would be wrong.

Screaming About Climate Disaster

Howard “Cork” Hayden, Prof. Emeritus of Physics, UConn, corkhayden@comcast.net |
Abstract: The Stefan-Boltzmann (S-B) law gives the relationship between temperature and infrared radiation for planetary bodies. If researchers do not apply it when making predictions about increasing Earth’s temperature, they are negligent. A science journal refereed or not, that published the model result without that calculation is also negligent. Suffice it to say that the IPCC has never—repeat NEVER—applied the S-B law to their predicted temperatures.

Nuclear Notes

Howard “Cork” Hayden, Prof. Emeritus of Physics, UConn, corkhayden@comcast.net |
Abstract: "Nuclear energy is expensive," goes the mantra, but the main reasons behind the high cost are governmental regulation that is often senseless and lawsuits and delays about "the environment."
