2022 Physics Nobel Laureate John Clauser has found by investigating the current status of climate science that the climate alarmism propagated by IPCC and the new International Panel on Information Environment formed by the Nobel Foundation, is pseudoscience:
- Now I am not alone in observing the dangerous proliferation of pseudoscience. Recently, The Nobel Foundation has formed a new panel to address the issue called the International Panel on Information Environment. They plan to model it after the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC.
- I think personally that they are making a big mistake in that effort because in my opinion the IPCC is one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation.
This connects to the previous post on the conflicting views of Clauser and the Nobel Foundation. To help sort out pseudoscience from realscience, Clauser gives the advice to use mathematics:
- Recall, if you want pseudoscience to be true, just simply spin it and it becomes true. Importantly, a referee must know and use mathematically based physics. A good scientist must also know how to derive and solve differential equations. That was the first thing I learned as an undergraduate at Caltech.
- Follow the teaching of Sir Isaac Newton. He found that the world is governed by differential equations. He had to invent calculus to do it, but he did it. A referee must correctly identify the dominant processes. That’s the starting point. The best way to do this is with order of magnitude estimates of the various conceivable processes.
This is the approach I have used with particular focus on discovering magnitudes by computation.
In particular, there is no known or even thinkable physics indicating that a minor increase in the level of atmospheric CO2 from use of fossil fuel can cause measurable warming of a global climate subject to major impact from the Sun, clouds and ocean circulation. Zero.
Yes but the starting point should be dimensional analysis. This is an engineering subject that scientist appear to not understand. CO2 or methane are gases which can not cause forcing.
