Scientism is the cult of believing, venerating and worshipping at the altar of anything named 'science' – even if it is irrational, inane, counter-factual, wrong, or corrupt. Phd's and quackery are used to sell the unscientific dogma. Most of Aristotle's hand-waving, Lysenko, Lamarck, Michael Mann, Globaloneycooling/warming/changing, abiogenesis, bacteria-to-Barry-Obama, are all examples of the cult of science. None of the aforementioned have any basis in reality or a connection with facts or even common sense.
For example plant food or Co2, is necessary for life and the human emits a resoundingly paltry 20 parts per million of this trace chemical [4% of atmospheric gas by weight]. Blaming weather on non-existent greenhouse effects whilst ignoring complex convection systems and natural processes is fraud, not science. To sell the nonsense, scientism and the cult of warm place their temperature stations in urban heat sinks and disconnect rural stations. This is not science but criminality.
From the luke-warmist site Wattuspwiththat.com, it is clear that all temperatures are being adjusted upwards – fraudulently.
Even worse many stations which contradict the warm theorems are no longer in use and most cited readings are from urban heat sinks. Example from Australia. Link
“The BOM thermometer at Canberra Airport is cleverly located adjacent to a huge parking lot, and showed 2013 as the hottest year ever. That thermometer shows Canberra warming at 3.3°C/century since 1996.”
Melbourne – a temperature reading station in the midst of the urban nightmare.
2 rather big countries, Russia and Canada have very poor station coverage. Link
“In the cold countries of Russia and Canada, the rural stations in the Polar Regions were thinned out leaving behind the lower latitude more urban stations. The data from the remaining cities were used to estimate the temperatures to the north. As a result the computed new averages were higher than the averages when the cold stations were part of the monthly/yearly assessment.
In Canada, the number of stations dropped from 600 to less than 50. The percentage of stations in the lower elevations (below 300 feet) tripled and those at the higher elevations above 3,000 feet were reduced by half. [The] depicted warmth comes from interpolating from more southerly locations to fill northerly vacant grid boxes, even as a simple average of the available stations shows an apparent cooling.
The IEA [Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis] believes the Russian meteorological station data did not substantiate the anthropogenic global-warming theory. Analysts say Russian meteorological stations cover most of the country’s territory and that the Hadley Center had used data submitted by only 25 percent of such stations in its reports. The Russian station count dropped from 476 to 121 so over 40 percent of Russian territory was not included in global temperature calculations for some other reasons than the lack of meteorological stations and observations.”
Even the Turks get the fraud. Link
“This Turkish [2013] study confirms what previous UHI effect studies have found: rural areas are not experiencing an increase in temperatures due to greenhouse gases. Because the dataset used to calculate global temperatures is dominated by urban and airport locations, overstating global warming has been the result.”
The cult of warm – another brain dead theology of corruption and non-science.
