This past week, climate scientists Richard Betts, Tamsin Edwards, Doug McNeall, and Ed Hawkins revisited another Rose article from 2013 called ‘ The Great Green Con.” In it, he showed a graph of climate model temperature projections against observations. The scientists described Rose’s article as “incredibly misleading,” “flawed to perfection,” “deceptive,” and “completely bogus.” One expressed dismay that they couldn’t rate its credibility worse than “very low.” When it comes to getting science wrong, David Rose goes to 11. This past November, Rose tried to blame the record-shattering hot global temperatures of 2016 on El Niño in a piece that the climate scientists at Climate Feedback gave a “very low” scientific credibility score of -1.9. But David Rose isn’t interested in the physical mechanisms, he’s just interested in giving his readers the impression that something about this global warming stuff just doesn’t seem right. Global warming is actually one reason – melting of Antarctic land ice has freshened and cooled the ocean surface, allowing for more sea ice to form. Why is Antarctic sea ice important? For no reason, except it’s bucked the disappearing trend of all the rest of the Earth’s ice. In 2014, as Arctic sea ice continued its death spiral, along with disappearing glaciers and ice sheets around the world in a year that would soon become the hottest on record, Rose tried to distract his readers by focusing their attention on Antarctic sea ice. The same Lamar Smith who said that listening to Donald Trump “might be the only way to get the unvarnished truth.”Īrctic sea ice annual minimum volume data. Important people – the best people – like in Rose’s case, Lamar Smith. Both attack the readership of those have debunked them, like the “ failing New York Times” or Ars Technica.īoth claim that other people agree with them. Both brag about the size of their hands, or rally audiences, or Facebook shares (they’re yuge). Rose’s reaction to the critiques of his first piece are quite reminiscent of Donald Trump’s responses to being called out for spreading misinformation. The few quasi-scientific points in Rose’s new piece are patently false. It’s another pedantic critique trying desperately to make a mountain out of less than a molehill. In his follow-up piece, Rose’s “ smoking gun” is that NOAA published its updated ocean temperature data 5 months later than it could have, to coincide with the 2015 global temperature data paper that incorporated it.

So after a week full of rebuking and debunking from climate science experts and real science journalists, and after Rose’s own source walked back his criticisms and explicitly said there was “no data tampering, no data changing, nothing malicious,” how did Rose respond? Like any good propagandist, he doubled down.
It was a giant nothingburger, or as NASA GISS director Gavin Schmidt called it, “ a NOAA-thing burger.” nnXCUrzrQB- Zeke Hausfather February 8, 2017ĭavid Rose’s sensationalist story claiming that “world leaders were duped into investing billions over manipulated global warming data” was entirely without scientific merit. All rights reserved.Just a quick reminder to folks that the NOAA "adjustments" have relatively little impact on our understanding of recent warming.

The surge values at multiple locations were historic and record-breaking. Last but not least is the storm surge that devastated parts of Southwest Florida.
Additional flooding is possible in several other states as Ian makes another landfall on Friday near Charleston, South Carolina. Totals outside of that zone of 15-25″ weren’t as significant, but many areas picked up 4-9″ and saw at least some flooding. Flash flood emergencies are very rare and are only issued in the most extreme situations. Those extreme totals led to multiple flash flood warnings and even some flash flood emergencies across the state. Rainfall according to radar estimates ranges from 15″ to 25″ in the swath of heaviest totals across Central Florida. Estimated rainfall totals reached 10-20"+ across a swath of Florida.
