Scope: The annual worldwide gathering of politicians, bureaucrats, and particular curiosity teams assembled in Sinai, to “save humanity” for the twenty seventh time, (COP 27). TWTW will emphasize what’s lacking – competent bodily science. Writing in “The Power Advocate” Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physicist Howard Hayden reveals that in its Sixth Evaluation Report (AR6, 2021) the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Local weather Change (IPCC shows a warmth stability chart much like these in previous Evaluation Reviews that appropriately shows 5 examples of the conservation of vitality. Nevertheless, they don’t current the same chart for even certainly one of their eventualities for the long run. In the event that they did, they’d uncover instantly that their eventualities violate the legislation of conservation of vitality.
AMO physicists William Happer and William van Wijngaarden joined Atomic, Molecular and Laser Physicist C. A. de Lange and Veterinary Drugs professor emeritus J. D. Ferguson to reveal the absurdity of regulating nitrous oxide emissions on the false declare of harmful international warming. Will increase in nitrous oxide come from using synthetic (manufactured) fertilizers changing fowl and bat guano and human manure in agriculture.
Atmospheric scientist Roy Spencer examines the temperature change in Las Vegas and a close-by neighborhood with no urbanization. He reveals the large distinction in change in summer time nighttime temperatures. This demonstrates the absurdity of claiming that the will increase in floor temperatures are resulting from carbon dioxide, slightly than urbanization. UN and US local weather experiences are constructed on this easy defect.
Judith Curry, and others, deliver up how shoddy local weather science by the UN and the US are horrifying youngsters who’re true victims of malicious propaganda.
All the above go to the true harms being completed to humanity by inferior authorities science and authorities bureaucracies and their promoters of their pompous efforts to “save humanity.”
Jennifer Marohasy produces photographic proof of the incompetence of Australian “marine scientists” in declaring the Nice Barrier Reef is lifeless or dying.

Science Lacking in Sinai: Extending his essays on Primary Local weather Physics, within the October challenge of “The Power Advocate”, AMO physicist Howard Hayden writes (Graphs and references will not be proven right here.):
“CO2 Emissions
For some wavelengths, infrared travels lower than a meter earlier than being absorbed by CO2 at our current focus of about 400 molecules per million molecules of air (ppmv). For lots extra wavelengths, the IR is stopped earlier than going 10 meters. Accordingly, even with only one % as a lot CO2 as we’ve, CO2 can be a powerful greenhouse absorber. Nevertheless, we’re involved with what occurs because the atmospheric CO2 focus will increase from 400 ppmv [parts per million in volume] to 800 ppmv, as might occur in the course of the subsequent century.
“Calculations of the greenhouse impact for the 5 most plentiful greenhouse gases have been completed by van Wijngaarden and Happer from over a 3rd of 1,000,000 high-resolution spectral traces. The calculations will not be only for the current GHG concentrations, however for fractional concentrations of every starting from zero (f = 0 within the close by graph) as much as double the current focus (f = 2). The graph reveals my added vertical traces one-eighth, one-fourth, and one-half of current focus.
“The vertical axis is the so-called ‘radiative forcing’—the distinction within the greenhouse impact from the current. Discover that the radiative forcing for CO2 at zero focus is unfavorable, to be particular –30 W/m2 [watts per square meter]. I added a number of horizontal traces representing the greenhouse impact from CO2 with the crimson numbers on the proper in W/m2. Discover the extraordinarily abrupt rise of the crimson CO2 curve, adopted by a curve of ever-decreasing slope properly earlier than half our current focus (f = 0.5). Discover that if the focus doubles, the CO2 greenhouse impact will change from 30 W/m2 solely as much as 33 W/m2. The full greenhouse impact is about 159 W/m2, so the rise resulting from CO2 doubling can be lower than 2%.
“Consider it or not, this piddling 2% improve within the greenhouse impact resulting from CO2 doubling is the supply of fairly actually tens of millions of ignorant statements about ‘the local weather disaster,’ ‘the local weather catastrophe,’ ‘local weather laws,’ ‘controlling the local weather’ and so forth.
“The Remaining Straw:
“The IPCC’s admission within the Sixth Evaluation Report (AR6) of Working Group I (Bodily Science Foundation) that the greenhouse impact G is the numerical distinction between floor radiation and radiation to area will finally be their undoing. They’ve supplied incontrovertible proof that their consultant eventualities are bodily inconceivable.
“To grasp what they’ve completed, it’s essential to have a look at sure abbreviations and requirements. We can be taking a look at eventualities (SSPs: Shared Socio-economic Pathways) similar to SSP3-7. 0,, the place the “3” refers to a specific state of affairs and the 7.0 represents the approximate “radiative forcing” in W/m2, by 2080-2100, relative to the 1850-1900 interval. Temperature rises (actual and predicted) are additionally relative to the 1850-1900 time interval.
“The one supply of warmth for the earth (ignoring very minor quantities of geothermal warmth) is radiation from the solar, and the one manner for the earth to shed warmth is by infrared radiation. So, IPCC makes use of the time period ‘radiative forcing’ to incorporate any change resulting from photo voltaic flux, albedo, or greenhouse impact.
“We are going to first be taking a look at SSP3-7.0, a state of affairs wherein the radiative forcing is 7.0 W/m2 relative to 1850-1900, as proven to the precise. The graph reveals a darkish bar (decrease left) indicating a temperature rise of about 1.1ºC for the reason that 1850-1900 interval and a predicted complete temperature rise to happen by 2080-2100 of three.6ºC for this state of affairs.
“Now, allow us to have one other take a look at the Local weather Constraint Equation. Recall that it’s derived from the Planetary Warmth Steadiness (relevant to all planets), the Stefan-Boltzmann radiation legislation (with σ = 5.67 × 10–8 W m–2 Okay-4) and IPCC’s understanding of the greenhouse impact.”
At equilibrium, the radiation emitted by the floor (the Stefan-Boltzmann fixed occasions floor temperature to the fourth energy) should equal the warmth radiated to area (aka the warmth absorbed from the solar) plus the online IR absorption by the ambiance (aka the greenhouse impact) [words replacing the equation].
“The 7.0 W/m2 determine for this state of affairs incorporates all modifications occurring on the precise facet of Equation 1 [articulated immediately above]. Due to this fact, if IPCC will get issues proper, the change within the left-hand facet also needs to be 7.0 W/m2. Nevertheless, if the temperature rises by 3.6ºC, the left-hand facet will increase by 20.1 W/m2. That’s an enormous inequality.
“To be truthful, IPCC makes no declare that the IPCC3-7.0 state of affairs for the 2080-2100 interval is certainly one of equilibrium. Allow us to take a look at the sequence of occasions. A rise in CO2 (and different human nefarious actions) trigger a rise within the greenhouse impact, in order that the warmth emitted to area is lower than the warmth absorbed from the solar. This causes the floor to heat up. However how can the floor heat up a lot that the planet now radiates extra warmth than it absorbs from the solar? Solely IPCC’s ‘local weather scientists’ know for certain.”
In brief, the IPCC would have us consider that in bodily science, 7 will develop into 20 in 60 years. See http://www.sepp.org/science_papers.cfm

Loss of life by Hunger: Because of the earlier authorities eliminated by revolt believing UN delusional claims of world warming from fertilizer, the folks of Sri Lanka are affected by actual meals shortages. Professors C. A. de Lange, J. D. Ferguson, W. Happer, and W. A. van Wijngaarden tackle the absurdity of UN claims that nitrous oxide (N2O) from fashionable fertilizer is inflicting harmful warming. The summary of their paper reads:
Larger concentrations of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) are anticipated to barely heat Earth’s floor due to will increase in radiative forcing. Radiative forcing is the distinction within the internet upward thermal radiation flux from the Earth by a clear ambiance and radiation by an in any other case equivalent ambiance with greenhouse gases. Radiative forcing, usually measured in W m−2, is dependent upon latitude, longitude and altitude, however it’s usually quoted for the tropopause, about 11 km of altitude for temperate latitudes, or for the highest of the ambiance at round 90 km. For present concentrations of greenhouse gases, the radiative forcing per added N2O molecule is about 230 occasions bigger than the forcing per added carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule. That is because of the heavy saturation of the absorption band of the comparatively plentiful greenhouse fuel, CO2, in comparison with the a lot smaller saturation of the absorption bands of the hint greenhouse fuel N2O. However the price of improve of CO2 molecules, about 2.5 ppm/yr (ppm = half per million by mole), is about 3000 occasions bigger than the speed of improve of N2O molecules, which has held regular at round 0.00085 ppm/yr for the reason that yr 1985. So, the contribution of nitrous oxide to the annual improve in forcing is 230/3000 or about 1/13 that of CO2. If the principle greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4 and N2O have contributed about 0.1 C/decade of the warming noticed over the previous few many years, this is able to correspond to about 0.00064 Okay per yr or 0.064 Okay per century of warming from N2O. Proposals to position harsh restrictions on nitrous oxide emissions due to warming fears will not be justified by these information. Restrictions would trigger critical hurt, for instance, by jeopardizing world meals provides.
After going by detailed evaluation displaying any warming from a doubling of nitrous oxide is insignificant, of their conclusions the professors write (references omitted right here):
“Since few residents notice that the consequences of complete N2O emissions on local weather are negligible, many governments are underneath strain to “do one thing” about agricultural contributions of N2O. Ideologically pushed authorities mandates on agriculture have often led to catastrophe. The world has simply witnessed the collapse of the as soon as bountiful agricultural sector of Sri Lanka because of authorities restrictions on mineral fertilizer. An earlier instance is the collectivization of agriculture within the Soviet Union, when the kulak (the derogatory Bolshevik phrase “fist” for a profitable farmer) was ‘eradicated as a category.’ In consequence, tens of millions died of hunger. People reminiscences of the Golodomor (hunger-murder) performed no small half in unleashing the current struggle in Ukraine.
“Regardless of this lamentable historical past, numerous governments have proposed burdensome laws on farming, ranching and dairying to cut back emissions of N2O. The laws will
haven’t any perceptible impact on local weather, however a few of them will do nice hurt to agricultural
productiveness and world meals provides. As we identified in Part 6, one of many main
elements for the world’s unprecedented abundance of meals lately has been the use
of mineral nitrogen fertilizers. It isn’t potential to keep up extremely productive agriculture
with out nitrogen fertilizer.
“Though agricultural emissions of N2O are not any menace to local weather, they’ll result in eutrophication of waterways. So, nitrogen fertilizer ought to be used intelligently to maximise nitrogen use effectivity by crops. To restrict manufacturing prices, main farmers already use no extra nitrogen fertilizer than wanted. Farmers are a lot better certified to make this judgement than bureaucratic ideologues.
“Mandates to cut back animal numbers and fertilizer use will cut back agricultural yields. To proceed to feed the world’s rising inhabitants with out mineral and pure fertilizers, agricultural areas must improve and encroach on native habitats, which may have remained untouched with rational use of fertilizer. The outcome can be extra environmental stresses, not much less.”

It Stays in Vegas: In persevering with his analysis, atmospheric scientist Roy Spencer writes:
“Now that I’m again to researching the floor air temperature file and the City Warmth Island (UHI) impact, I made a decision to revisit the temperatures in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s been over 8 years since I posted about Las Vegas being the poster youngster for the UHI impact and I confirmed some warming pattern calculations from the hourly temperature knowledge at McCarren Worldwide Airport (now Harry Reid Worldwide Airport… not kidding) which advised that a lot of the warming there was from the city warmth island, not international local weather change.”
In discussing his analysis Spencer states [Graph of findings not shown here]:
“I computed 50-year tendencies for Las Vegas and for a rural Nevada station, Winnemucca from 24-hourly knowledge, which permits us to see how the tendencies change with time of day. I did this for the warmest half of the yr, April by September. The next plot reveals a outstanding characteristic… the robust warming in Las Vegas has been solely at night time. Winnemucca reveals the background local weather sign, with pretty uniform (and weak) warming tendencies all through the day. However the impervious surfaces in Vegas — buildings, concrete, asphalt — take in extra daylight in the course of the day than the encompassing desert, after which at night time launch that warmth into the air.
“A part of the rationale this occurs is the albedo of town is decrease than that of the encompassing desert (due to Anthony Watts for reminding me of this). However not less than as vital is that undeniable fact that concrete has a thermal conductivity 9 occasions as giant as sand does, so when it’s heated by the solar, way more vitality is saved down into the pavement. Sand would have gotten exceedingly scorching, however simply on the floor, and the additional vitality would radiate away (infrared) in addition to drive stronger atmospheric (dry) convection which might carry that warmth away in the course of the daytime.
“Why would such a factor not present up in the course of the day simply as properly? As a result of turbulent mixing pushed by a powerful super-adiabatic lapse price close to the floor spreads the warmth up by the ambiance and cooler air comes down to exchange it, cooling town in the course of the day. However then at night time, a temperature inversion varieties, and the bottom ranges of the ambiance now not change vitality convectively with greater altitudes. In impact, the robust nighttime inversion that naturally happens within the desert has weakened over town because the pavement releases the additional vitality it has saved in the course of the day.
“The precise background local weather warming within the final 50 years in Las Vegas (no matter its trigger), based mostly upon the above plot, appears to be like to be round 0.25 deg. C/decade. That is additionally a part of the rationale why it is very important monitor international temperature tendencies with satellite tv for pc measurements of the deep troposphere — it gives a extra strong measurement that’s not as influenced by floor results, such because the City Warmth Island, and avoids conflation of Las Vegas warmth with the ‘local weather disaster’.”
Spencer’s analysis on the UHI demonstrates why the UN and US emphasis on floor temperature knowledge whereas ignoring atmospheric knowledge leads to meaningless conclusions. See hyperlink underneath Difficult the Orthodoxy.

Actual Hurt: On her weblog, Local weather And many others. Judith Curry cites educational research displaying the psychological well being results of local weather change on youngsters and younger adults:
…together with elevated ranges of hysteria, melancholy, post-traumatic stress dysfunction, elevated incidences of suicide, substance abuse, social disruptions together with elevated violence, and a distressing sense of loss.
The psychological accidents to youngsters related to local weather change are featured prominently by Our Kids’s Belief which is “representing and supporting youth securing their authorized rights to a protected local weather.” This group sponsored the lawsuit Juliana vs. the US, plus lawsuits in nearly the entire U.S. states and globally together with Netherlands and Colombia. A key rationale for these Complaints/lawsuits is the psychological hurt being inflicted on the Youth Plaintiffs. Right here is one instance from the Juliana criticism:
“’Defendants have precipitated psychological and emotional hurt to Kelsey because of her concern of a altering local weather, her information of the impacts that may happen in her lifetime, and her information that Defendants are persevering with to trigger harms that threaten her life and wellbeing. Because of the acts and omissions of Defendants, Kelsey believes that she will be unable to proceed to do the entire issues described on this Criticism for her life, well being, and pleasure, nor will she in the future be capable to share these experiences together with her youngsters.’
“That is in no way the worst/alarming assertion by the Youth Plaintiffs that I’ve seen, however it’s the first one I noticed in a search of the Juliana Criticism.
“Lise Van Susteren, a medical psychiatrist, submitted an Skilled Report on Behalf of Juliana et al. From her introduction:
“’The science and literature present {that a} huge vary of well being impacts, together with psychological well being impacts, from local weather change are already impacting, and anticipated to affect in more and more dangerous methods, our most weak inhabitants, youngsters. Local weather change is already harming youngsters, together with these youth Plaintiffs, psychologically, and this struggling will increase as local weather change worsens and because the federal authorities continues to exacerbate the risks of local weather change and doesn’t act to cease the local weather disaster. This report focuses on the present and anticipated psychological harms dealing with youngsters because of local weather change, and the menacing circumstances that threaten future hurt, if no significant motion is taken to handle local weather change by the federal authorities. I focus on each acute and continual local weather harms as a result of local weather change has short- and long-term impacts on psychological well being. I focus on how these harms are worse as a result of the federal authorities, together with these defendants, are inflicting the hurt, and failing to correctly reply to the threats posed by local weather change. I additionally focus on why youngsters, together with a few of the Plaintiffs on this case, are experiencing disproportionally dangerous, and what I anticipate to be life-long, psychological well being impacts, because of local weather change and the federal government’s position in inflicting it.’
“I’ve personally obtained emails from youngsters and younger adults affected by such results, which have been featured in earlier weblog posts. I’ve obtained quite a few extra emails from teenagers and younger adults which are very honest and speaking with me as a result of they’re greedy for causes to not be so depressed about this challenge. These psychological accidents, not less than in some people, appear actual to me.
“There’s little foundation within the IPCC assessments for a degree of alarm that might induce such psychological results — even in context of the IPCC’s quite a few inaccurate assumptions and doubtful judgment calls that have been outlined in my earlier weblog publish The local weather disaster isn’t what it was . The apocalyptic and deceptive rhetoric within the media and political discourse about local weather change is arguably the driving impetus of those opposed psychological well being results.”
Curry concludes her essay:
“It’s troublesome to keep away from concluding that youngsters are getting used as instruments in adults’ political agenda surrounding local weather change. This tooldom [using children as a tool?] is having opposed impacts on the psychological well being of youngsters and younger adults.
“I discover the Okay-12 academic brainwashing by institution educators to be significantly reprehensible. Wouldn’t it’s a lot better for the youngsters to find out about geology and meteorology, mass media influences on politics and society, and demanding occupied with massive societal points? Wouldn’t it’s nice to inspire college students to wish to contribute to fixing society’s issues and provides them the tutorial instruments to reap the benefits of alternatives?
“However a extra elementary challenge is how youngsters are being raised, in order that they’re missing in resilience and hardiness.
“And at last, there are near- and long-term political implications. Does anybody assume that throwing tomato soup at work in museums helps the “trigger”? In the long term, all of this propaganda and brainwashing will backfire when it turns into obvious in a decade or two that there isn’t a local weather disaster, and younger adults are rebelling towards the ‘institution’.”
Curry lets the IPCC off too calmly. The UN IPCC and the authors of the US Nationwide Local weather Assessments should pay attention to the hurt they’re doing. Their “science” just isn’t a bodily science utilizing the earth’s actual ambiance. Their false declare that it’s a bodily science leads to actual hurt to youngsters. The UN’s utilizing Greta Thunberg as a spokesperson for a science that the UN doesn’t perceive the bodily world was only one disgusting instance.
Ultimately, given its ineptness in responding to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and its distortion of an vital bodily science, one should ask does the UN have any worth for humanity? See hyperlinks underneath Speaking Higher to the Public – Use Propaganda on Kids.

Final week TWTW mentioned the “Good friend of the Courtroom” temporary filed by Professors Happer and Lindzen towards the EPA non-scientific endangerment discovering. Subsequent week it’ll focus on the petition to the US Circuit Courtroom of Appeals within the District of Columbia.
***********************
Variety of the Week: 3 nanograms per liter (ng/L). The Lawyer Basic of California has filed a lawsuit towards 3M and DuPont for concealing:
“…well being hazards related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the general public and continued producing them for public use.”
Though PFAS is a blanket time period for 1000’s of compounds, the lawsuit particularly applies to seven detected in excessive ranges in California waters: perfluorooctanoic acid, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorobutanesulfonic acid, perfluorohexanesulfonic acid, perfluorohexanoic acid, perfluoroheptanoic acid and perfluorononanoic acid.
The identify ‘endlessly chemical compounds’ derives from the compounds’ resilience and resistance to degradation in nature, and in accordance with knowledge from California’s State Water Assets Management Board, they’re detectable in 146 water methods that present water to about 16 million residents of the state.”
The California’s State Water Assets Management Board notification states:
“In line with the 2022-2026 Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5), U.S.
“EPA Technique 533 can be used to investigate for PFHxS in ingesting water samples and has a
minimal reporting degree of 3 ng/L.” “3 nanograms per liter (ng/L)”
“Toxicological Endpoint: Decreased complete thyroid hormone in male rats,” [Boldface added]
By definition, a nanogram is one billionth of a gram or about one trillionth of a pound. One of the vital poisonous chemical compounds identified to man is the nerve agent VX, which is classed by the UN as a weapon of mass destruction.
“The CDC calls it ‘he most potent of all nerve brokers.’ It kills rapidly, even after publicity to infinitesimal quantities. Loss of life by VX, which is a transparent, motor oil-like liquid at room temperature, can happen after inhaling 25 to 30 milligrams, or simply 10 milligrams if it comes into contact with the pores and skin.” [Boldface added]
There are 1,000 milligrams in a gram (milli that means one-thousandth). There are 1,000,000,000 nanograms in a gram. A milligram has 1,000,000 (1,000,000) nanograms. In line with California Water Board, endlessly chemical compounds are 1,000,000 occasions extra deadly than VX. The AG’s workplace and California regulators should be contaminated with mass innumeracy, (numerical illiteracy).

By Hambler and Henderson, College of Oxford, 2022
From Conclusion in Summary: “Time lags between variables point out major drivers of the fuel dynamics are resulting from photo voltaic motion on the polar areas, not mid-latitudes as is conventionally believed. Our outcomes are per a proposed position of a high-latitude temperature-dependent abiotic variable similar to sea ice within the annual cycles of carbon dioxide and methane. If sea ice doesn’t drive the online flux of those gases, it’s a extremely exact proxy for no matter does. Potential mechanisms ought to be investigated urgently.”

Biden Embarrasses Joe Manchin
The Senator is upset the President advised the reality in regards to the plan to kill coal crops.
By The Editorial Board, WSJ, Nov. 6, 2022
TWTW Abstract: The editorial begins:
“Every now and then President Biden blurts out what he actually thinks, even when it’s politically or diplomatically embarrassing. He did it once more Friday when he stated his Administration will shut down coal crops throughout America. Whereas true, his remark gained’t assist Democratic Senate candidates or West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.
“Mr. Biden’s marketing campaign remarks in Carlsbad, Calif., have been imagined to be in regards to the semiconductor invoice and his ‘unity agenda.’ However throughout a riff on Democrats’ tax and local weather spending invoice, he let slip that ‘we’re going to be shutting [coal] crops down all throughout America and having wind and photo voltaic.’
“The boast drew an indignant response from Mr. Manchin, whose state is a high coal producer and generates some 90% of its electrical energy from coal. ‘President Biden’s feedback will not be solely outrageous and divorced from actuality, they ignore the extreme financial ache the American persons are feeling due to rising vitality prices,’ Mr. Manchin stated.
“‘Let me be clear,’ he added, ‘That is one thing the President has by no means stated to me.’ Perhaps not, but when Mr. Biden’s feedback got here as a shock, the Senator should not be paying consideration. The principle goal of the local weather provisions within the Inflation Discount Act Mr. Manchin negotiated with Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer was to drive coal crops, and over time all fossil fuels, out of enterprise.
“Eight state coal associations despatched a letter to Mr. Manchin warning the laws will ‘severely threaten American coal’ partially by ‘turbocharging the lofty incentives that already prolong to renewable vitality.’ Beneficiant subsidies for wind and photo voltaic have made coal energy uncompetitive in wholesale markets. Coal crops can’t cowl their prices operating solely a few of the time. Mr. Manchin stated the businesses have been mistaken in a reply letter.
“About one-third of the nation’s coal crops have retired since 2008. The tremendous inexperienced subsidies within the Inflation Discount Act will speed up coal plant retirements. Biden officers have additionally teased new laws which are supposed to boost coal plant prices and drive extra shutdowns, which can kill 1000’s of jobs and make energy much less dependable.”
The editorial then goes into persevering with political video games
