Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
My limited understanding is that GCR effects on cloud formation are accepted as plausible but that their precise magnitude is uncertain. What is known from GCR measurements, solar activity and possibly other established facts is that the warming we have been seeing over the last fifty years or so is definitely not due to GCR. My understanding is that Shaviv has claimed that GCR has been the predominant driver up 'til now. He seems to have found a strong correlation between temp and cyclical 140 million year cosmic ray variation. Unfortunately the cosmic ray cycle doesn't exist anymore in the updated understanding of astrophysics. He associates with the usual obstructionist thunk tanks which, although not damning in itself, certainly raises red flags.dogen wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2019 9:03 pmI've worked with Shaviv in the past. He's sloppy -- he shoots for results that challenge the "standard narrative", ignoring possibly important effects that might argue against his claims. I don't think he's a stooge for climate denialists, more someone who prioritizes his own glory over the truth.
Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
So - my predictions for the EU election (UK only): BXP won't do as well as the polls have indicated, while the Lib Dems will do pretty good. BXP will still make a strong showing, however. Tories will be annihilated. CUK will have a miserable showing, as will UKIP - now clearly a spent force. Labour will likely be vying for second place behind BXP with the Lib Dems - a hard call, but there's a good chance Labour will actually lose out to the Lib Dems here.
I actually think that even if Corbyn were to promise a second referendum, Labour have left it too late. I think remainer impetus is now behind the Lib Dems, because they've been consistent on their stance from day one, while Labour have flimflammed too much and lost trust. A classic case of 'because you are lukewarm, I will spit you out.'
Forlorn hope: that Tommy Robsinson gets elected as an MEP. I think he'd make a shit MEP of course, but it will be as funny as fuck observing remainers trying to keep us in a union where Tommy Robinson has legislative (albeit highly limited) power.

What is the practical difference between a shit MEP and a good one? I would trust Robinson to represent my politics on what I see as the most important political issues facing Europe than most other candidates. The rough edges should be irrelevant. IMO the only use for an MEP is to expose the Supreme Soviet's democratic facade and create as much of a stink as possible.Tigzy wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2019 6:09 amSo - my predictions for the EU election (UK only): BXP won't do as well as the polls have indicated, while the Lib Dems will do pretty good.

The comparison is surely with Farage/UKIP from 2015 (27.5% and 24 seats) with approx 33% (recent polling) for Brexit party 2019

Very early doors but outside London Farage's Brexit party are well ahead in England & Wales and polling a decent second in Scotland. Lib/dems and greens doing well in the shires and uni cities.
Some parts of northern England Brexit Party are apparently polling 40 and 50% .. But as I say very early doors. Tommy Robinson hasn't been elected, he was never going to be really. (source LBC)

After 10 of 12 regions declared , Brexit Party on 33.3% (pretty much as predicted by polls)
Tories truly tanking on 8.8% (even polls didnt go that low) - worse result since 1832, yes 1832

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
So there ya go. For me, BXP did better than I expected (cos I thought they'd do a fair bit worse than the polling indicated) and Labour did indeed end up behind the Lib Dems. No real surprises, other than that the Greens did very well - I honestly hadn't thought about them, but then again, who does?
Remainers are presently claiming it's a resounding win for remain, on account of stacking the Labour result on top of the combined LIb Dem, Green etc votes. While in the same breath claiming that Labour need to ditch Jeremy Corbyn, cos its not a proper remain party otherwise. Heh.
Pretty clear what the tories need to do now - get a leader who's prepared to keep no-deal on the table and not entertain any more silly notions of a 'people's vote' or a customs union. Otherwise, they can expect to see massive chunks taken out of their support should BXP stand at the next GE. It certainly won't be enough to get many (if any) BXP MPs into the HoC, but it will see the tories losing enough of the vote share to usher in a Corbyn government. Assuming he's still there, of course.
Anyway - Farage will be happy, Vince Cable will he happy (if anyone can tell, that is), whatever weirdos are fronting the Greens at the moment will be happy, tories will be miserable, though they expected to be anyway, Corbyn will be greatly peeved and Chukka Umunna will be thinking bitchy thoughts about the electorate. Gerard Batten will be - well, who the fuck cares.
No Tommy Robinson as an MEP, alas. Ah well. We've got Widdy though, which should provide a few laughs.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I honestly think the death knell is tolling for UKIP now. Farage's Mr Brexit persona has resonated with the public and his recent smearing of Batten/Robinson/Benjamin et al appears to have done the trick. I was watching the kipper stream last night (young UKIP members) and they were apopleptic over the future of the party. With Batten set to step down next month (he has said he won't seek re-election if he lost his seat) the favourite to take over is Mike Hookem, don't forget he's the guy who punched Farage's original 'successor' Steven Woolfe's lights out at the EU parliament building in Brussels, and he has recently criticised Batten's backing of Carl Benjamin over the 'Rape Joke' nonsense. From what I could gather last night is that the young kippers can't abide Hookem with many saying they'd quit if he took over.Tigzy wrote: ↑ So there ya go.

Yeah, I think UKIP's extremely rapid decline might be down to less of the former and more about such shenanigans as the latter. Don't forget the episode of Bolton and the racist thot, and Paul Nuttall - who was just weird. The ludicrous in UKIP was pretty excessive even before Sargon and TR got on board. Given that both those blokes came with an absolute shit ton of baggage, I doubt it would have made much difference to UKIP's fortunes even if Farage had kept shtum on the matter.the favourite to take over is Mike Hookem, don't forget he's the guy who punched Farage's original 'successor' Steven Woolfe's lights out at the EU parliament building in Brussels

As I've said most of the Tory leadership contenders are a bunch of idiots and blowhards only Rory Stewart who has since joined the fray has mildly impressed from previous notice though he did make up some statistics on the spot once which wasn't ..er helpful.
Thoughtful, articulate and intelligent which means he can never win.
There will (quite rightly IMO) be a stop Boris candidate. I suspect that of the rest, Michael Gove may edge it but he may not be as clever as he thinks he is
- though the prospect of his obnoxious wife (Daily Mail Columnist Sarah Vine) in No 10 is even more disturbing.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
The standard rebuttal to Shaviv's claim is that solar activity has declined since the mid-80's while temperatures have gone up, which I find it to be an incredibly weak argument. We're not talking about a simple system where discrete inputs always have readily identifiable corresponding outputs, but a highly complex non-linear chaotic system, full of latencies, feedback loops and memory. No only that, there are multiple potential other forcings over the shorter term, such as ENSO, the multidecadanal Atlantic and Pacific oscillations and volcanic eruptions. It seems completely foolhardy to look for a correlation to one particular input in the short-term, and when it doesn't exist, declare that input negligible. I could just as easily, and just as wrongly, argue the slight reduction in global temperatures from 1940-1975 while atmospheric [CO2] was ramping up was proof that CO2 isn't a significant cause of warming. Shaviv himself argues that the atmospheric temperature increase from solar forcings over the course of a solar cycle is a small fraction of the total warming influence of the forcing up to equilibrium, which he quantifies as 10%. The remainder of the heat is primarily stored in the upper oceans. Even 50 years later, according to Shaviv, 50% of the warming influence still hasn't been expressed as atmospheric temperature increase.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑
What is known from GCR measurements, solar activity and possibly other established facts is that the warming we have been seeing over the last fifty years or so is definitely not due to GCR.
One thing that seems reasonably certain from ice core beryllium-10 concentrations in concordance with direct sunspot observation is that solar activity over the 20th century was much higher than in previous centuries.
http://www.sciencebits.com/sites/defaul ... roxies.png
One thing going for the cosmic ray theory is that it at least partially explains the run-up in global temperature from 1920-1940, which is comparable in magnitude to the 1980-2000 run-up. Increased greenhouse activity due to CO2 is at a loss to explain this, since atmospheric [CO2] was barely above preindustrial levels during this time. Solar activity appears to have peaked in the '50s and then had a small decline through the rest of the century, although still at much above average historical levels. It's no stretch at all to say the temperature run-up from 1980-2000 had the latent heat from higher solar activity earlier in the century, as well as the still historically high solar activity, as a contributing factor. As a bonus for the cosmic ray theory, the relatively slow warming since 2000 is consistent with the effect of lower solar activity kicking in, while CO2 greenhouse dynamics again offers little explanatory power for this.
The evidence that 20th century warming had the increased solar activity->lower GCR incidence-> less lower atmosphere cloud formation dynamic as a significant factor is very strong, although I should again reiterate the evidence that it was the dominant factor is negligible
I don't think he ever claimed this, depending on your definition of 'predominant'. When he first entered the scene in the late aughts, he said GCR was responsible for 2/3's of 20th century warming. More recently, he's been saying half, so perhaps he's being more conservative/careful.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑ My understanding is that Shaviv has claimed that GCR has been the predominant driver up 'til now.

To avoid showing the marked decrease in solar activity since then?jugheadnaut wrote: ↑The standard rebuttal to Shaviv's claim is that solar activity has declined since the mid-80's while temperatures have gone up, which I find it to be an incredibly weak argument. We're not talking about a simple system where discrete inputs always have readily identifiable corresponding outputs, but a highly complex non-linear chaotic system, full of latencies, feedback loops and memory. No only that, there are multiple potential other forcings over the shorter term, such as ENSO, the multidecadanal Atlantic and Pacific oscillations and volcanic eruptions. It seems completely foolhardy to look for a correlation to one particular input in the short-term, and when it doesn't exist, declare that input negligible. I could just as easily, and just as wrongly, argue the slight reduction in global temperatures from 1940-1975 while atmospheric [CO2] was ramping up was proof that CO2 isn't a significant cause of warming. Shaviv himself argues that the atmospheric temperature increase from solar forcings over the course of a solar cycle is a small fraction of the total warming influence of the forcing up to equilibrium, which he quantifies as 10%. The remainder of the heat is primarily stored in the upper oceans. Even 50 years later, according to Shaviv, 50% of the warming influence still hasn't been expressed as atmospheric temperature increase.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑
What is known from GCR measurements, solar activity and possibly other established facts is that the warming we have been seeing over the last fifty years or so is definitely not due to GCR.
One thing that seems reasonably certain from ice core beryllium-10 concentrations in concordance with direct sunspot observation is that solar activity over the 20th century was much higher than in previous centuries.

One thing going for the cosmic ray theory is that it at least partially explains the run-up in global temperature from 1920-1940, which is comparable in magnitude to the 1980-2000 run-up. Increased greenhouse activity due to CO2 is at a loss to explain this, since atmospheric [CO2] was barely above preindustrial levels during this time. Solar activity appears to have peaked in the '50s and then had a small decline through the rest of the century, although still at much above average historical levels. It's no stretch at all to say the temperature run-up from 1980-2000 had the latent heat from higher solar activity earlier in the century, as well as the still historically high solar activity, as a contributing factor. As a bonus for the cosmic ray theory, the relatively slow warming since 2000 is consistent with the effect of lower solar activity kicking in, while CO2 greenhouse dynamics again offers little explanatory power for this.
The evidence that 20th century warming had the increased solar activity->lower GCR incidence-> less lower atmosphere cloud formation dynamic as a significant factor is very strong, although I should again reiterate the evidence that it was the dominant factor is negligible
I don't think he ever claimed this, depending on your definition of 'predominant'. When he first entered the scene in the late aughts, he said GCR was responsible for 2/3's of 20th century warming. More recently, he's been saying half, so perhaps he's being more conservative/careful.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑ My understanding is that Shaviv has claimed that GCR has been the predominant driver up 'til now.

Haven't completely got through this, but the first half hour I've seen so far is very interesting:
In particular: "The nones are not children of the enlightenment. Which means they completely disconnect from both sides of the discussion."
Kirb in particular would probably find it interesting to. I mention his name because he's like Beetlejuice.

The big problem with climate change activists like Greta Thunberg is that they are white supremacist racists

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
The data wasn't truncated, if that's what you're asking. The graph is from Wikipedia and is based on data from published papers from the '90s, hence nothing beyond 2000. As I mentioned, the reduced rate of warming since 2000 seems quite consistent with reduced solar activity so far this century, so there isn't anything to hide anyway.

Since it was mentioned the recently - here is Jim's take on Sargon's political shenanigans...

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
I always thought that the rainbow coalition of the 'nones' could bear further analysis. For all I know the unaffiliated may include Wiccans, Pagans, Asatru &nd Satanists as well as the requisite atheists & agnostics and vaguely christian or new age-y types. (Gathering them all together would make for an interesting inter-faith forum - or at least one more diverse than typical).Keating wrote: ↑ Haven't completely got through this, but the first half hour I've seen so far is very interesting:

There are those on the right that also think the 'Enlightenment' has received more credit that it is due and that concepts such as democracy are at best a polite (or impolite) fiction. But I'm no expert so I'm largely in the dark on such matters.

I'll watch it later.

You could even say you've had a Dark Enlightenment.

Ouch! Is Carl really responsible for killing the UKIP party? I'm not familiar with UK politics, but this makes it sound like he played a big part in it.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
As always dear old Mr Metokur's pronunciations should be taken with a rather large grain of the proverbial.
It's more likely that Nigel Farage sunk UKIP with his invective. Perhaps UKIP provided the target needed, diverting media attention away from Nigel's new Brexit party - which did rather well, all things considered.
But the natives round here can fill in the detail with more nuance.

Re: You is all a bunch of poofs!
Holy shit... that was great. I used to listen to Sargon once in a while. I would say that about a year or two ago he was kind of interesting.... but.... I have not made it through one of his videos in ages. It is really kind of fun (in a sick sort of way) to watch him destroy himself. I'm glad I am an engineer. A good solid profession where you make things and try to build stuff.
Advice to the world: Try to make something and not destroy something. You will have a better life.
