This really illustrates the difference between the fact-based conservatives and the propaganda-based liberals:
Lord Monckton repeatedly interrupted Lord Whitty to ask him to give a reference in the scientific literature for his suggestion that "95% of scientists believed our influence on the climate was catastrophic". Lord Whitty was unable to provide the source for his figure, but said that everyone knew it was true. Under further pressure from Lord Monckton, Lord Whitty conceded that the figure should perhaps be 92%. Lord Monckton asked: And your reference is? Lord Whitty was unable to reply. Hon. Members began to join in, jeering Your reference? Your reference? Lord Whitty sat down looking baffled.
So the climate scam-artist uses the made up (not to mention tired) 95% stat but when asked to provide a source for his number, he can't but falsely claims "everyone knows it's true".![lmao :lmao: :lmao:](/styles/smilies/lmao.gif)
He then alters that number (after claiming everyone knew it was "true") and makes up a new number of 92% but again cannot back that up with a research source. Fed up with having his feet held to the flame for facts, he sits down flustered. But wait, it gets better:
Lord Monckton, a former science advisor to Margaret Thatcher during her years as Prime Minister of the UK, concluded the case for the proposition. Lord Monckton said that real-world measurements, as opposed to models, showed that the warming effect of CO2 was a tiny fraction of the estimates peddled by the UNs climate panel. He glared at the opposition again and demanded whether, since they had declared themselves to be so worried about global warming, they would care to tell him to two places of decimals and one standard deviation the UNs central estimate of the global warming that might result from a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration. The opposition were unable to reply. Lord Monckton told them the answer was 3.26 plus or minus 0.69 Kelvin or Celsius degrees. An Hon. Member interrupted: And your reference is? Lord Monckton replied: IPCC, 2007, chapter 10, box 10.2. [cheers]. He concluded that shutting down the entire global economy for a whole year, with all the death, destruction, disaster, disease and distress that that would cause, would forestall just 4.7 ln(390/388) = 0.024 Kelvin or Celsius degrees of global warming, so that total economic shutdown for 41 years would prevent just 1 K of warming. Adaptation as and if necessary would be orders of magnitude cheaper and more cost-effective.
When the conservative is asked for his source of information, he cites the exact study, with the exact year, with the exact chapter, and the exact section.
