The Psychology of CAGW Alarmists

New Research: The Psychology of Conspiracy Theorists and Climate Change Deniers : The New Yorker

bring a bunch of climate change doubters into a room together, and they will leave the room even more skeptical than before, more confident and more extreme in the their views.

And this would not be true of a roomful of climate alarmists??

But the alarmists have the science on their side.

But do they? Recent observations would beg to differ.

Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry: ‘It is becoming increasing difficult not to downgrade the estimates of climate sensitivity

Yes, Let’s Please Have More Conversations About Global Warming

At Long Last The Mainstream Media Are Paying Attention To Climate Skeptics

Reuters explodes the idea of global warming consensus: We don’t know how the planet would respond to doubled CO2; we don’t know if more clouds cause warming or cooling; maybe Chinese coal burning is cooling the planet; we don’t know if the heat is hiding in the oceans, etc.

Climate changing for global warming journalists — ‘beginning to reassess their position on global warming’        

‘When Will Green Journalists Learn Their Lesson?’ — ‘The overwhelming consensus on global warming among journalists may be cracking’

The Great Green Edifice is Crumbling: ‘The old guard of the environmental movement is passing from the scene and the entire edifice of the global warming hoax is crumbling’

Geologist Dr. David Deming mocks ‘The real deniers of climate change’ — the warmists!    

Unlike the atmosphere the public debate seems to be warming up and the free ride heretofore given to alarmists to be cooling off. Alarmists lay claim to the science before the scientific silent majority decided to speak out. Now the game is up. The alarmists will have to earn their claim to have the science on their side while people are learning that:

1. There is no hot spot despite the increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Here is another paper that reaches the same conclusion. They keep piling up. Is it hiding?
2. World temperatures have been flat for the last 16 years despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century. Consensus is lacking.
3. Extreme weather is not getting worse despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century. Sandy was not due to AGW.
4. Sea level rise (SLR) is not accelerating despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century.
5. Water vapor is not increasing in the atmosphere despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century.
6. US has been cooling for the last 15 years despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century. Kinda takes the GLOBAL outta GLOBAL warming don’t it?
7. Himalayan glaciers expanding contrary to prediction and despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century.
8. The melting Arctic? We have heard it all before. We are still here and still waiting for the disastrous rise in sea levels despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century.
9. Antarctica is cooling despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century.
10. IPCC Global Climate Models (GCMs) can’t predict squat despite the rapid rise in CO2 atmospheric concentration since the turn of the last century. Some warmists are beginning to recognize this. Here is more grist for their mill.

Bonus: plants grow better, stronger, faster because of the increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.

The only voice that counts in science is that of Mother Nature and she is saying loud and clear that CO2 does not have much if anything to do with climate change. After all, if you have extreme weather in times of lower CO2 concentration and bad storms in times of higher CO2 atmospheric concentration then isn't the correct conclusion that CO2 has nought to do with it?

People are learning that CO2 has nothing to do with the temperature or the climate.

The evidence mounts as a new study shows that tropical storms have decreased in frequency since 1872. Weather was more variable  and extreme in the past.

Did you realize that deaths due to severe weather trauma are way down because of our early warning systems? Isn’t that great?

If we are a warming world then why was snow cover at a record level in December 2012? As the world warms are we not supposed to see less snow and more rain in the winter? Why were 2012 winter temperatures so cold in a warming world?

Mother Nature has given warmists the finger. And hers is the only finger that counts.

Does the term delusion fit the alarmist psyche?

Delusion: a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.

It is difficult to see the truth when your eyes are closed.

We owe CO2 an apology.

We need to stop all activities aimed at decreasing human emissions of CO2.

CO2 is green. We need more of it not less. CO2 has been exhaled during the creation of this post. No living thing was harmed. Some even liked it. Let the plants dance.
