The fallout surrounding the profound failures of the climate models used by the IPCC continues. If the German media is anything to go by, then IPCC science is virtually disintegrating before our very eyes.
Europe has always been a bulwark against climate skepticism. No more. The online German ‘Die Welt’ daily reports today that the upcoming IPCC AR5 is a de facto withdrawal of the scientific basis for climate regulation.
Die Welt writes that “global warming is currently advancing considerably more slowly than assumed a few years ago” and has stalled over the last 15 years and that “scientists are unable to explain why“.
Basis for climate regulation crumbles
Die Welt then adds that the failed models and prognoses of the climate scientists will have profound implications for policymakers:
The IPCC results likely not only usher in a small change in the direction of the climate discussion and a retreat from the loudest alarmism, they also withdraw the firm basis of assumptions, which policymakers had considered undisputed for European and national climate regulations.”
Until recently, policymakers had always fallen back on “settled science” to justify painful measures to revamp energy supply. But now that “settled science” is gone. Justifying the vandalism of the landscape with windparks and selling high priced, unstable renewable energies to a skeptical public is about to get a whole lot tougher.
So why hasn’t warming increased as projected earlier? Die Welt writes:
One reason for that, according to the report, is that the calculation of the global warming by carbon dioxide emissions in the computer models was too heavily weighted.”
Already politicians are now calling for a new policy approach with regards to climate policy.
“It is being admitted for the first time that the climate is warming less than predicted,” European Parliamentarian Holger Krahmer is quoted by Die Welt. “It’s reason enough to refrain from making emissions trading more strict, to rethink the CO2 targets which are dangerous to the German automotive industry, and to stop further ecological bans of products.”

“Germany called for the references to the slowdown in warming to be deleted…”
“Belgium objected to using 1998 as a starting year for statistics…”
“The United States delegation even weighed in, urging the authors of the report to explain away the lack of warming using the ‘leading hypothesis’ among scientists…”
The plateau in temperature is hurting, wonder what a fall will do?
A fall will make climate scientists who whore for governments end up being laughing stocks in a few years time. Spiegel also writes about the German bureaucrats’ efforts.
I wonder why they still try to make it appear as if this were a remotely science-based agenda. Why don’t they just use their dictatorial powers? They have EUROGENDFOR and a host of other means to squash any dissent.
Dirk, check this out…ZDF blames “a software bug”. Such propagandists.

Interesting. Maybe some underling in the apparat has tried to let the truth shine through.
Free voters Bavaria – where the Afd did not compete – achieved 8 %; so I think 8% for the AfD are possible, equal to what is expected for the Linke.
I think the graph is legit. I would never have thought we arrive at this level of dishonesty by the regime.
8%! That’s awfully high.
Rajendra Pachauri says that the high standard of the science in AR5 will convince “rational people”of the need for climate action.The response of the I.P.P.C. to the modest, cyclical and beneficial warming from c.1976-1998, could not by any measure be described as rational.To emphasize this point,I suggest the letters I.P.C.C. should now stand for…Irrational Panic at Climate Change.
The far-left will attempt to rationalize anything in order to ignore the temperature situation – they will lie. Saul Alinsky rules guide everything they do.

This report is full of outright distortion. Climate changes are still within IPCC’s predictions. Nowhere is there a retraction from the IPCC.
We continue to have extreme weather. At least 10 of last 15 years are hottest on record.
I will bet anyone $10k (and give you 10 to 1) that the next December will be warmer than the average Dec, of the 20th Ce.
Those that profit from denial are complicit in the delay/distortion that has fostered the catastrophes we have had and will experience. May you choke on your blood money.
“too heavily weighted” is the admission; in fact, “FAR too heavily weighted” (sensitivity) would be honest. The piddling reduction and radically expanded error bounds the report uses to fudge the point are typical CYA verbiage from liars caught in a major deception.
