Washington Post: ‘No climate crisis,’ A Nobel-winning physicist declares’ – 2022 Nobel Prize in Winner in Physics declares his dissent: – ‘I call myself a climate denier’

Washington Post: ‘He won a Nobel Prize. Then he started denying climate change.’ John Clauser shared the Nobel in physics last year. Now he’s a self-described ‘denier’ of the overwhelming scientific consensus on a warming planet.

John F. Clauser shared the Nobel Prize in physics last year before declaring Tuesday that “there is no climate crisis” — a claim that contradicts the overwhelming scientific consensus. The event showcased Clauser’s remarkable shift since winning one of the world’s most prestigious awards for his groundbreaking experiments with light particles in the 1970s. His recent denial of global warming has alarmed top climate scientists, who warn that he is using his stature to mislead the public about a planetary emergency. …

The other speakers included Marc Morano, a former Republican congressional staffer who runs a website that rejects mainstream climate science, and Alex Newman, a journalist for right-wing media outlets who has called for exposing the “climate scam.” Both men took multiple jabs at former vice president Al Gore and his 2006 documentary about the dangers of climate change.

Clauser, who wore a gray blazer with black jeans and Teva sandals, appeared buoyant as he took the stage. He cycled through a PowerPoint presentation that began with the exclamation: “Great news! There is no climate crisis!”

“Much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is not in peril,” Clauser told an audience of roughly a dozen people in the hotel conference room and others watching online. “I call myself a climate denier,” he added. “I’ve been told that’s not politically correct. So I guess I’m a climate crisis d-word person.” …

Clauser bragged that he met privately with President Biden in the Oval Office last year, when the 2022 Nobel Prize winners were invited to the White House. He said he criticized Biden’s climate and energy policies, to which he said the president replied: “Sounds like right-wing science.”

The Washington Post could not confirm this account; a White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. …

Clauser has not been welcomed everywhere. In July, he was scheduled to deliver a seminar on climate models to the International Monetary Fund’s Independent Evaluation Office, but then the event was “summarily canceled” with no explanation, the CO2 Coalition said in a statement at the time. On Tuesday, Clauser said he was initially told the event would be reformatted as a debate with an author of a report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But that idea “never went anywhere,” he said. Asked for comment, a spokesperson for the office declined to comment on the record and did not respond to follow-up questions about whether the event might be rescheduled.

Climate expert Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: Biden admin new National Climate Assessment is ‘about political promotion not scientific assessment’ – Report ‘carefully cherrypicks peer-reviewed climate research to construct a political narrative’

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: “The NCA carefully cherrypicks peer-reviewed climate research to construct a political narrative There’s an entire alternate universe of research that’s ignored Everyone with expertise in climate research can see how obvious this is & even those without expertise can easily see.” …

“The Fifth US National Climate Assessment is out Includes this to justify reliance of RCP8.5: ‘The scenarios do not have relative likelihoods assigned and are all plausible futures.’ This is simply false.”

New Scientist mag: ‘Climate change will prompt expansion of farming in northern wilderness’ – ‘Vast areas of wilderness in Russia, Canada & Alaska will become more suitable for farming’

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2398603-climate-change-will-prompt-expansion-of-farming-in-northern-wilderness/ By James Dinneen Climate change is expanding the amount of land suitable for farming in colder regions. While farming such areas could offset declines in crop yields elsewhere, it would also pose a threat to wild places once protected from cultivation by the cold. As the planet warms, researchers expect farmers will have to adapt […]

David Whitehouse: Climate ‘out of control’? A reality check

https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2023/10/13/david-whitehouse-climate-out-of-control-a-reality-check/ By Paul Homewood By David Whitehouse: Why are many parts of the world so warm right now? Over the past four months we have seen record-breaking temperatures. September, globally-averaged, was 0.5°C above the previous record. 2023 is bound to be the warmest year of the instrumental record period. This is quite extraordinary, but what […]

BBC: ‘Climate change could make beer taste worse’

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-67078674 Global warming is changing the quality and taste of beer, scientists have warned. A new study reveals that the quantity of European hops, which gives beer its distinctive bitter taste, is declining. Hotter, longer and drier summers are predicted to worsen the situation, and could lead to beer becoming more expensive. The authors warned […]
