BBC QUESTIONNAIRE

I am attaching my answers to a BBC Questionaire recently circulated to a range of people who are uncomfortable with the current "climate change" hysteria. I thought Richard Black did a good job in identifying the questions that most frequently face us.

Many of the recipients refused to co-operate, as they were suspicious that the results would be used for yet another attempt to discredit dissent. This remains to be seen, but I have found much enlightenment and pleasure in reading the ones who replied. There wss, as is usual amongst scientists, a wide variety of opinion. It is only the advocates of "global warming" who hunt in packs and always have a unanimous and "consensus" opinion.

TEMPERATURE TRENDS

1      Do you believe that the global average surface temperature has risen over the last 50 years?

Most of the evidence is unreliable. The “Surface record” is based on an unrepresentative sample, plus a basic measurement of “mean daily temperature” in any one site derived from the average of the maximum and minimum temperatures, measured only once. This is not a scientifically acceptable basis for the final “record” as it is subject to unknown, mainly positive, bias. Also secrecy surrounds the actual sites, and such surveys that exist show that many of them are unsuitable for even local temperature trends because of proximity to buildings and vegetation. The huge variability in the number of sites available and the absence of an audit of their proper supervision and control for most of them render the entire surface record suspect and its results of little value.

On the other hand the temperature record from satellites in the lower atmosphere since 1979 is truly global, accurate, and has been scrutinised thoroughly for errors from hostile investigators, with no challenge to the basic record, which provides no evidence for globally averaged warming that cannot be explained by natural events such as volcanic eruptions, El Niño ocean events, and changes in the sun. The fact that the two volcanoes (El Chichon and Pinatubo) have caused depressions in the early part of the satellite record, and the El Niño events, particularly the large 1998 one, were in the latter part of the record, gives an impression of an upwards “trend”. The fact that there was no “trend” at all between 1979 and 1997, means that the greenhouse effect could not be detected in the place where it is supposed to happen, for 18 years, An upwards “trend” in the surface record over the same years must therefore have some other cause.

The temperature record from weather balloons supports this conclusion. They are also not distributed across the earth sufficiently randomly, but they also show no evidence of an overall warming effect since 1958 that could be attributed to greenhouse gas increases.

The National Institute for Water and Air in New Zealand (NIWA) has recently published a temperature record for New Zealand which shows that there has been no significant overall temperature change since 1950.

.

I am not a “believer”. I assess evidence. My conclusion from the above evidence is that a warming of the globe from increase in greenhouse gases has not yet been detected

2      If yes, do you agree with the IPCC’s range for that rise of between 0.10 and 0.16 Celsius per decade – alternatively, what figure or range of figures do you believe to be correct?

I have explained above that the IPCC figures are based on faulty data

The evidence shows that temperatures rise and fall in an unpredictable manner, and are usually explicable by well recognised natural claime events. There is simply no evidence for a steady increase which could be attributed to increases in greenhouse gases. “Trends” based on arbitrary choice of beginning and end points are meaningless

3      If you do not believe that the global average surface temperature has risen over the last 50 years, what is your explanation for increasing temperatures recorded by ground-based instruments over that period?

I have explained above that the readings from ground-based instruments are wholly unreliable. They are distributed in an unrepresentative manner on sites mainly close to human activity, which certainly causes a temperature rise over the years. There are no historic records of genuine temperature averages at all, but only a wholly unsatisfactory figure based on one daily reading. There is no system for monitoring sites to see whether they comply with WMO standards, and such surveys which been made suggest that many do not. Finally, the number involved lurched from 200 in 1850 to 8000 in 1980 to 2500 today.

4      Do you agree that the oceans have warmed to depths of several kilometres over the last 50 years?

The measurements go back only to 1955, the temperature displays a periodic behaviour, not a steady rise. A recent paper has found that the measurements have an upwards bias. The temperature is now falling. It is not legitimate to establish a “trend” from an arbitrary choice of beginning and end points.

GREENHOUSE GAS TRENDS

5      Do you believe that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases have increased over the last century or so?

Yes, they have increased. But the measurements suffer, again, from lack of representative sampling. Almost all measurements are over the oceans, whereas politicians worry about concentrations over land, where measurements are extremely sparse. Calculations of possible effects are distorted by the use of averages. Since the effects are related to logarithms of concentration a knowledge of variability is essential. And they do not measure it

Atmospheric concentrations of methane are falling, but the IPCC tries to conceal this.

6      If so, do you agree that the rises are principally due to anthropogenic factors?

There is evidence from isotopes that rises in carbon dioxide and some others are related to human activity. Methane is not rising, and it involves many non-human influences

7      For carbon dioxide, do you accept the broad figure of 280ppm in the post-glacial but pre-industrial era, and the current figure of about 380ppm?

The 280ppm figure is based on an extremely unrepresentative sample, actually a handful of sites. I cannot accept that it should be regarded as a “global average”. The 380ppm does seem to be afir figure for over the ocean, but I would like to see some land-based figures, as these are really more important. The rate of increase in the ocean figures has been about 0.4% a year since 1975 and shows no real evidence of changing. Computer calculations which assume 1% a year and “scenarios” which assume increases which for one case is even higher do not make sense.

GREENHOUSE GAS IMPACTS

8      Do you agree with the principle that rising concentrations of greenhouse gases will increase radiative forcing?

It seems likely that they make a contribution to the many factors involved in changes in net radiation to the earth.

The diagram of these various factors and their supposed effects published by the IPCC is a veritable dog’s breakfast. In “Climate Change 2001” they admit that the so-called “error bars” in the diagram have “no statistical significance’, and all the items are subject to unquantified “levels of scientific understanding” They also stated that you should not add and subtract them to get an overall figure.

In the latest version of this diagram (Figure SPM-2) they have broken these rules. They give “error bars”  which are supposed to be 90% confidence levels (as opposed to the 95% levels usually supplied by statisticians) but they do not explain how these have been derived. They have also added and subtracted them but only did so in the last draft. They still have the unknown “levels of scientific understanding” and they omit altogether the main components of “radiative forcing” which are water vapour and clouds, for which they give the excuse that they are “feedbacks”

However you look at that diagram you have to conclude that the net radiative forcing since 1750 could easi;y be zero or negative.

9      Do you agree that the relationship between CO2 concentrations and radiative forcing, given current levels, is logarithmic?

I am not a specialist spectroscopist and I am inclined to accept the formulae given ib “Climate Change 2001” I would, however, point out, that it should not be applied to “averages”, since variations below the average are much more important than those above it.

10     If you answered ‘Yes’ to question 1, do you believe that rising greenhouse gas concentrations are the most important factor behind the observed increases in the global average temperature? If not, what would you say is/are the principal factor(s) behind the observed rise

The rise in 1998 was caused by the El Niño ocean event that year. The current warm spell (2001 to 2004 and 2004 to 2006). As shown on the satellite record, appears to have come to an end. In New Zealand the temperature last year was 1.5ºC below “normal” Since it remained almost stable throughout it could not possibly be related to increases in greenhouse gases. I am not an expert, but I have seen persuasive arguments relating the warm spell to changes in  the sun and cosmic rays.

11     If you answered ‘No’ to question 1 but ‘Yes’ to questions 5 and 8, what is your explanation for why rising greenhouse gas concentrations, associated with higher radiative forcing, have not resulted in a rise in the global average temperature?

First, I question the accuracy of the calculations of radiative forcing from “average” concentrations. The figures are too high. Second, there are a large number of other factors contributing to “radiative forcing”, most of which are very poorly known or understood. I therefore do not think there is evidence that the net net change in radiative forcing has been positive.

12     What value, or range of values, would you estimate for climate sensitivity?

First, the whole concept of “climate sensitivity” which assumes that a single constant can relate a net radiative forcing that cannot be calculated with a possible global temperature rise is a gross oversimplification of reality.

I would point out the work of Douglass et al, who in a study on Mt Pinatubo found that a low value of this supposed consyant gave a more plausible answer

NATURAL VARIATION

13     What would you say is the maximum amount by which the global average annual surface temperature can vary over the course of a century due to natural variability?

I am in no position to express an opinion, neither is anybody else. There are no reliable average global surface records which could be used to claim any figure.

MITIGATION

14     Do you believe that if concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases rise significantly higher than they are now, there is a chance of dangerous climatic change resulting?

There is no evidence that this could be so

15     If you answered ‘No’ to the previous question but ‘Yes’ to question 8, could you explain why you do not feel rising concentrations might prove dangerous?

I am a scientist. I do not make conclusions on important issues such as this from ”feelings” . I am unable to have any opinion until somebody comes up with plausible evidence.

16     Do you think it would be wise for the global community to set a maximum limit for atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, or of carbon dioxide equivalent? If so, what limit would you recommend?

They are not wise, they are mad. I would ignore the issue until somebody provides evidence

17     If anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions increase broadly in line with “business as usual” projections over the next 20 years or so, which of the following statements would most closely reflect your opinion of the likely impact of emissions over that period:

If wishes were horses beggars would rise. The “business as usual projections’ are simply rubbish. They pointedly refrain from checking whether they are actually happening. They are not

a) they will not have any deleterious impacts on human societies or the natural world

b) they will have some impacts on human societies and the natural world, but nothing that cannot be dealt with quite easily

c) they will have major impacts on some human societies and some aspects of the natural world

No justification for any of these propositions

18     Which of these statements most reflects your view of the Kyoto Protocol:

        a) it was a worthwhile attempt to tackle an issue of global significance

b) it was the wrong approach to tackling an issue of global significance

c) it was meaningless, because there is no reason for attempting to curb greenhouse gas emissions at present

At last, a yes and no question I can answer. My answer is ©

CLIMATE MODELS

19     Do you believe that computer models, when used in conjunction with observational data, can in principle make meaningful projections of future temperature and climate trends at global and regional scales?

In principle they cannot. And the reason ought to be obvious. None of them has ever been “validated” and the IPCC have banned the used of this word. They also never make “predictions” because they no that there is no basis for such a claim.

In order to validate a climate model you need to show that it is capable of predicting future behaviour to a known, and acceptable, level of accuracy

Otherwise it should not be used at all.

The IPCC does not even try to discuss how this may be done. Instead they “adjust” the highly uncertain parameters in their models to try and “simulate” a few past climate sequences, and claim that this “fudging” proves something. They then ask a panel of modellists, whoc are financially dependent on governments promoting greenhouse theory, their “opinion” on the “likelihood” of the value of the model “projections” They then have different levels of “likelihood” which are given fake probability numbers and claim their models are successful.

It is as if Newton and Einstein had not lived, and in order to send a rocket to the moon the asked the scientists who set up the schedule whether it might get there, and they replied “very likely, but we don’t know where”

20     If so, would you say current models are, on the whole:

                a) very accurate and useful 

b) quite accurate and useful

c) not very accurate or useful

d) completely useless

They are worse than useless because this fact is concealed.

21     If you answered c or d to the last question, could you explain what it is that you believe to be wrong with current models?

They have never been validated. They have never been shown to predict anything. One result of this fact is that there is no measure of their potential accuracy, which can only be determined by actual practical tests

22     If you answered ‘No’ to question 19, what approach would you prefer to computer modelling as a way of forecasting future climate?

Models do not make forecasts. They only make “projections” there is no future to modelling unless they can be shown to work. A major problem is that natural climate events are currently unpredictable
