INDEX - Jim Steele's climate science horror collection, Landscapesandcycles, 2014



This blog has been a personal learning process and I'll admit some posts are duds, others aren't all they should be, but then, a few hit the nail.  

Since the past decade has taught me that climate science denialism is an insuperable ideological point of faith with many - I've switched my focus to the few who want to study the tactics and dynamics that climate science denialist types employ in order to misrepresent and distort the science.  These tactics are dedicated to confusing and misleading people.  

 Thereby turning what should have been a sober learning process into a contorted dishonest political farce.  A farce forced on us by special-interests employing disingenuous jokers such as the "Lord" Monckton or this current rising star Mr. Jim Steele.  

His message: 
'Think locally, ignore the global.' 

 His tactics:
    Obsessive focus on flaws in extremely challenging wildlife population studies.
    Misrepresent the scope of those flaws and the learning process. 

 As an excuse to:
     Ignore the physics of atmospheric greenhouse gases.
     Ignore the fact that industrialized society has increased our planet's atmosphere's insulation medium (GHGs) by nearly 40%.
     Ignore the fact that our climate system is a global heat distribution engine.
     Ignore the overwhelming observational evidence of continued global warming.

Employing:
    Political theater to dismiss well established science.
    Political theater to disparage dedicated professional scientists.
    The magician's tactic of distraction and sleight of hand.
    The Serengeti Strategy which is explained here and here.

I have invited Mr. Steele's comments and assured him I'll post what he offers, but he does his best to ignore me and has offered nothing. Except occasionally complaining about me at other venues and having me banned from commenting on his YouTube Climate Science Horror series.  Hopefully that will change.

 For a detailed look at how I've arrived at and support my conclusions here's the index for my 2014 articles specifically focused on understanding Mr. Steele's "Landscapes and Cycles" game.  Stay tuned, given continued health, there will be more.
