Greg’s use of it here, sarcastically, invites additional sarcasm.

“Things don’t go better with Koch.”

“I’d like to teach the world to think, about reality…”

Or — is it sarcasm?

Policymakers have severely underestimated the risks of ecological tipping points, according to a study that shows 45% of all potential environmental collapses are interrelated and could amplify one another.

Risks of ‘domino effect’ of tipping points greater than thought, study says

I wonder what Crockford would say about that?

Indeed we did. So all the way back down to, um… 1C above preindustrial is okay, then…

And somehow ‘evidence’ that ECS is 1.8C even though a transient response of 1C to +120ppm CO2 rules this out…

So the next denialist gambit is that half the warming is teh magick invizible forcingz of Naturez…

Utterly undetectable by any available technology but enough to add at least 0.5C to GAT…

But somehow not falsify the claim that ECS to a doubling of CO2 or equivalent forcing change…

🙂

Well we have seen just that here from you know who recently.

To be fair, we see the same behavior from that person on any issue, from science to rights for women and minorities to health, etc. He’s an equal opportunity liar and denier (his lack of ethics comes into play as well).

I’ve just read a spray on you and others on that rather nutty polar bear site,

Oh, you mean Crockford’s crock of a site. She tends to rant and cast aspersions in a manner we have seen elsewhere from such as What the f’s Up With That, (not so much) Climate Etc, and ClimateFraudit. That is the problem when you are an outlier and wrong into the bargain being too far up your creek and lost your paddle for rowing back.

The wider Inuit picture:

Inuit polar bear subsistence hunters from two East Greenland regions, Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit, report changes to their hunting patterns as well as polar bear distribution and behavior due to decreasing sea ice and the introduction of hunting quotas in 2006. The hunters have observed large climate changes in their hunting areas — including warmer weather, less sea ice and disappearing glaciers — which the majority say have affected the polar bear hunt. More hunters are now using boats than dog sledges due to loss of sea ice. The hunters also note that more polar bears are coming into their communities looking for food, and that the bears are eating more seal parts than previously. Published in Frontiers in Marine Science, the study is the first in nearly 20 years to document traditional knowledge on polar bear catches and ecology in East Greenland — providing a valuable baseline for monitoring future changes as well as the polar bear population.

Hey if you be who I think you be
I’ve just read a spray on you and others on that rather nutty polar bear site, from earlier this year, whilst doing some reading on the internet about the Serengeti strategy. I read your old piece on the subject too Greg, in scienceblogs. Very good.

Personal thanks for your work if you are that person Jeff.
I miss reading Deltoid openthread a little bit. It was perky. Robust! Funny as anything in terms of invented abuse terms. Ocassionly it read like a radio play.

At that point the ignoranti will claim that the record warmth is simply the result of El Nino, …

Well we have seen just that here from you know who recently.
