My first visit the BH in years. I had a great education in science in general and climate science and politics in particular on this blog, all delivered in simple and entertaining fashion by the blog owner and commenters. Good times. Miss the old times.

Climate Science remains as Unreliable and Untrustworthy as ever, but still depends on Unreliable and Untrustworthy Politicians.

Questions about Climate Science should be used as a simple Litmus Test for all Politicians. Any answer with a hint of Green, should be seen as a Red Flag indicating Danger.

Gosh Gwen, litmus paper doesn't turn green, but perhaps you are red-green colour blind, or have forgotten your high school chemistry.

Did you never try putting litmus paper into different coloured bottles of ink? For some strange reason, my school chemistry teacher was pleased to forget me.

Think of it as that part in the war, when the trenches haven't moved for months and you've settled down in the mud to make a model of Big Ben out of spent matches.

You haven't missed much, sHx.

A brief summary: Climate scientists widened their uncertainty limits and then claimed to be more certain about falling within those widened uncertainty limits. Truly astonishing, but when a discipline has made zero progress, or less, what else could one say to the sponsors?
