Andrew Montford: Why the Met Office has hung its chief scientist out to dry
Andrew Montford is increasingly being invited onto radio and television as a rational foil to extremism and here is writing in a weekly “magazine”, lively read is The Spectator.
Why the Met Office has hung its chief scientist out to dry
Andrew Montford 18 February 2014 10:57
Link to Spectator article and of course is linked by his blog Bishop Hill
The Met Office has not changed even though it might look that way to some. I’m not sure what Slingo did wrong from the Met Office point of view if anything since this might be knee jerk damage limitation after the event.
Montford mentions the heat means more water ploy where the idea is that AGW produced the heat therefore more rain. “This made a great deal of global warming having increased the water content of the atmosphere, leading to increased rainfall…”
I’ve mentioned this in the past but in a different context, as a raining out after historic hot times. I spent some time ages ago looking at ancient flood reports from China, Indian and so on. These seem to fit a vague cyclic pattern but not sound enough for me to speak out.
As I see it the flaw in the Met Office position is the chicken, they have no causal but like so many others they see a correlation which fits their own fear CO2… so it must be that. Correlation is causation.
The free running heat engine which is the earth water cycle has perhaps shed excess heat to space, fine, why is a whole different matter.
At the Talkshop the suspicion is that this is extraterrestrial in the form of input heat coupling with the external earth environment.
The reason for the recent prolonged wet and storms in the UK is explained I hope on my own blog, basically the stuck in place cold over North America is also a stuck Atlantic cooling loop and the UK is on the receiving end.
What actually comes before the effect, who knows, could indeed be external. Trying to understand what happened seems a better idea than losing one’s head, ending in a chicken stew.
