The Truth About Climate Change
https://vixra.org/abs/1309.0069
Climatology occupies the intersection of science policy and public understanding of science. In such a prominent position, the wide spectrum of climate opinions is remarkable. Society has achieved a paradigm in which global warming subscribers and non-subscribers are largely segregated by political affiliation. Since science is non-political, only a misunderstanding of the science can facilitate such a segregation. In the first section we analyze a recent study by Cook \emph{et al.} finding overwhelming scientific endorsement for the greenhouse theory of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). We find the popular reporting on Cook's result is not accurate. The aim of the following section is to clarify the science behind the most popular climate arguments and introduce the reader to some evidence that is not widely publicized. Even the astute non-climatologist should come away from this report with an enhanced understanding of relevant issues in modern climate science.

If you read the articles, the gist of it is the global warming models combine temperature data from thermometers in both urban and rural areas in order to find some kind of mean average temp across all the thermometers. They do some finagling to say that the combined data represents total global warming. What this paper did was separately evaluate rural and urban thermometers, and found that the vast majority of reported global warming is due to the fact that urbanization is causing massive heat islands, but if you go look at the rural thermometers hardly any warming has occurred in comparison.
Something like 0.66C per century for entirely rural thermometers, and something more like 1.5-2C for urban thermometers. They used Japanese Data and USA data. The Japanese data is where that 0.66C came from, and Japan has significant urban development which makes even the 'rural' thermometers suspect there. For the USA its more like 0.4C per century. So basically global warming is way overblown because the urban heat island effect has skewed all the data and existing studies don't accurately account for this effect, and so they report that the 'global warming' is about twice as much as the actual warming occurring in rural areas.
Essentially yes your world is heating up if you live in a city that continues to grow, but if you are in the countryside you aren't really seeing much heating.
The article then states that to mitigate warming seen, more should be done to mitigate urban heat island effect than reduction in carbon emissions.

Coincidentally, this seems to correlate with the political views of the urban/rural divide when it comes to global warming.

They're not extrapolating the "climate" out 100 years. The climate evolves deterministically and predictably. Where the uncertainty (and thus the extrapolation) occurs is humanity's levels of CO2 output. So basically if we assume a business as usual scenario, the climate would warm 4 degrees by 2100.

"Climate change" was politicized to slap tariffs and taxes on CO2 and make CO2 swaps tradeable for companies. By doing this you can also raise the price for consumers. There's literally no evidence for either CO2 levels being continually increasing (other than cherrypicked data being in a negligible level of parts per million) nor is there evidence for CO2 as a molecule supposedly trapping heat. Furthermore, an increase in global CO2 levels simply causes more more photosynthesis to happen, it's all an equilibrium.

Everybody in Chemical Engineering knows the partial atmospheric pressure of CO2 is always considered a constant. Discussing this with non-engineering leftists friends used to be impossible causing loads of ridicule when these people lack the understanding of extremely basic concepts in STEM such as photosynthesis or behavior of closed systems

Your reading comprehension needs to improve.

>A statistical analysis was applied to Northern Hemisphere land surface temperatures (1850–2018) to try to identify the main drivers of the observed warming since the mid-19th century.
>Two different temperature estimates were considered—a rural and urban blend (that matches almost exactly with most current estimates) and a rural-only estimate. The rural and urban blend indicates a long-term warming of 0.89 °C/century since 1850, while the rural-only indicates 0.55 °C/century.
>This contradicts a common assumption that current thermometer-based global temperature indices are relatively unaffected by urban warming biases

>Our analysis focused on the Northern Hemispheric land component of global surface temperatures since this is the most data-rich component. It reveals that important challenges remain for the broader detection and attribution problem of global warming:
> (1) urbanization bias remains a substantial problem for the global land temperature data;
> (2) it is still unclear which (if any) of the many TSI time series in the literature are accurate estimates of past TSI;

They tried to debunk heat island effect. It was retarded.
They basically said, "does a measured heat island effect explain our fake temperature data created by modeling CO2 warming into a biased model? no, it doesn't, so there's no heat island effect explaining our fake model."
Completely retarded study.

Heat island effect is real.
So you have Roy Spencer who is called a lukewarmist because he pretends to believe in greenhouse theory and CO2 driving temps. He just doesn't think they drive temps that much.
Even HE points out that NASA is biasing the observational data to juice their models.

The models are calibrated to 1980, so the more time passes since then, it has to get hotter and hotter. At some point, the observational regional data, even though its normalized, homogenized and calibrated into fake global data, that regional data will start pulling down the warming signal because the two are so fucking divergent. So NASA in 2016 had to start juicing the observational data.

What they did was find the hottest reading in a region, and then say "oh the other readings are much colder, so we're just going to assume they're wrong and make them match the hot one". So they calibrate data to fit a regional test case, which inevitably is urban with the "cold" temps being rural
>but they didn't measure accurately with consistent procedures.
Bruh, then you have to adjust according to that premise, not use it as an excuse to just make all the cold readings match the one hot reading, WTF.

You're the retard. Since Intermittency in power generation is the inverse of baseload (constant/reliable).
They could simply have left out the Intermittent column, as it is made redundant by having a baseload column.
But then they wouldn't have all the nice looking green check marks.
Or, God forbid, they could have entitled that column "reliable", but then they would have to give green checks to the fossil fuels and red crosses to the renewables.

Few things about that. It's not extraordinary, it's not powerful, and even if it were both of those things, it's not at all infinite.

You keep repeating we've said it's 10 years away. I've looked but have not found a single source from 2004 saying we'll have commercially viable nuclear fusion by 2014, nor one from 2014 saying all of the world's problems will be solved by 2024. In fact, I don't even see credible claims saying that now for 2034. Fact is though that it's theoretically possible and it has now been proven to work in practice. Bit odd therefore to shut it down entirely as 'will never work' before it's had even 10% of investment in renewables that aren't really renewables.

Humans don't power the sun, retard, and the sun is bigger than the Earth and any fusion plant that has been, or will be, built.

No. Both of those are examples of weather. Climate is a long average of weather.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate
>Climate is the long-term weather pattern in a region, typically averaged over 30 years.[1][2] More rigorously, it is the mean and variability of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years. Some of the meteorological variables that are commonly measured are temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, and precipitation. In a broader sense, climate is the state of the components of the climate system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and biosphere and the interactions between them.[1]
