irv Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 THE PEER REVIEW PROCESS The “peer-review process” typically involves the editor sending a submitted article to a team of reviewers who are outspoken climate activists. After the paper is published, global warming activists and their media allies typically cite the peer-reviewed nature of the paper as evidence that its conclusions are infallible. Any who question the methodology or alarmist conclusions are then labeled science deniers. According to Ioannidis, the peer-review process guarantees little in terms of trustworthiness even before political agendas compromise the issue. “[W]hen studies are replicated, they rarely come up with the same results. Only a third of the 100 studies published in three top psychology journals could be successfully replicated in a large 2015 test,” AFP reported, summarizing Ioannidis’ findings. “Medicine, epidemiology, population science, and nutritional studies fare no better, Ioannidis said, when attempts are made to replicate them,” according to AFP. When only a third of peer-reviewed studies reach the same results when they are replicated by outside authors, this is a serious problem. Regarding climate change papers, the peer-reviewed papers are likely even less reliable – before even considering the inescapably political nature of the topic – because many papers address predictions and models for which it is impossible to test the paper’s conclusions against objective evidence. For example, when a scientist invents a climate model predicting rapid global warming or seriously negative future climate impacts, and when a paper summarizing the results of his or her model appears in a peer-reviewed journal, there is no way at the time of publication to compare the climate predictions against real-world observations. This adds an additional level of doubt to the accuracy of global warming predictions published in peer-reviewed science journals. And this is before taking into consideration the inherently political nature of the global warming debate and the political agendas of journal editors and their carefully selected article reviewers. The lesson to be learned is the liberal media engage in laziness or deliberate misrepresentation when they cherry-pick certain peer-reviewed studies and claim that anybody who questions them is “attacking science,” “attacking scientists,” or being a “denialist.” Sound science requires critically testing theories and predictions – including those published in peer-reviewed science journals – against objective evidence.

No. It means the rest of the world produces 98.4 % of greenhouse gases. WTF does that have to do with a complete contradiction to Global Warming and taxation that will not reduce carbon emissions by a micron ?

irv Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Dear Canada: Politicians can’t control the weather The mitigation debate, defined by federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna yelling at Conservative leader Andrew Scheer that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a climate plan and he doesn’t, is based on a fantasy. That fantasy — clung to by many bloviating media pundits — is the absurd idea anything Canada does to mitigate climate change will stop natural disasters like the current flooding in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick in our lifetimes, or our children’s, or our grandchildren’s. The folly of focusing on mitigation at the expense of adaptation was illustrated by McKenna on a recent visit to Toronto, where she blamed flooding at the south end of the city’s Don Valley Parkway on man-made climate change. Except that area has been flooding since the glaciers retreated 12,000 years ago, made worse by decades of urban development in an area we’ve known for centuries is flood prone. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-dear-canada-politicians-cant-control-the-weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is even more damning for the scientists who deny climate change since none of their studies can be replicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by nation Jackass and if the other 22 contributors generated 1.6% there would be a 64.8% reduction on GHG At least we can agree on 1 thing, the Carbon Tax that has 0 criteria or ability to reduce Carbon Emissions will be a success...
