390 Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skepticism of "Man-Made" Global Warming

Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skepticism of "Man-Made" Global Warming

Another common myth is that no peer-reviewed papers exist disputing "man-made" global warming or the various environmental and economic effects.

Myth debunked.

Evidence that that is "a common myth?" Who has claimed there are no published peer-reviewed papers disputing human-caused global warming?

Such a myth would have to overlook that:

(1) There was, in the past, a scientific controversy regarding the existence of AGW. Until it was resolved by observations, this generated numerous papers by both sides.

(2) There are valid scientific disagreements at present, regarding the most likely anticipated effects of AGW and their magnitude. Papers addressing these issues can easily be misrepresented as challenges to AGW, when they are not.

(3) There is, in the present, a political controversy generated primarily by interests who find the prospect of having to limit their future damage to the environment, and perhaps even pay to remedy past damage, inconvenient and a transgression of their natural rights as wealthy elitist sociopaths. It is not at all surprising that such interests can generate a few dozen published peer-reviewed papers a year.

Respectfully,
Myriad

Wow, that many? 11,000 papers relevant to AGW?

Let's see, then your 390 papers (even assuming all of them actually challenge AGW, which has been shown on other threads not to be the case) would be 3.5% of them.

Oops. Fake controversy fail.

Most of those “papers” were published in the climate equivalent of UFOligy today.

If anyone ever needed more evidence of just how little real science is being done by climate change deniers looking at where those “papers” were published should do the trick.

Lets randomly check this list;

OK, first paper; Energy and Environment. Yeah, great source there. NOT.

2nd, 3rd, 5th, 12th, 15th, 20th, 22nd, and nos. 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 38, 39, 42, 43, 45, 48, 49, 51, 55, 59, 60, 66, 67, 74, 77, 78, 79, 82, 83, 87, 88, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 113, 122, 125, 131, 132, 133, 138, 143, 144, 146, 146, 150, 151, 152, 156, 157, 158, on and on and on.

It looks like almost half of these "papers" are from the same source? Why is that do you suppose?

Wikipedia says;

"The journal is not listed in the ISI's Journal Citation Reports indexing service for academic journals,[2] although it is included in Scopus, which lists it as a trade journal[3], with coverage from 1995.[4] Contributors have included Richard Tol, and Gary Yohe. The publication's ISSN is 0958-305X and OCLC is 21187549."

and

"The journal's peer-review process has at times been criticised for publishing substandard papers.[2][5] Roger A. Pielke (Jr), who published a paper on hurricane mitigation in the journal, said in a post answering a question on Nature's blog in May about peer-reviewed references and why he published in E&E: "...had we known then how that outlet would evolve beyond 1999 we certainly wouldn't have published there."[6]"

In other words, its a journal for hacks who cannot publish their tripe about AGW in any other place.

I think this list is debunked now...

Many of these are not papers, but are correspondence, which has very different standards.

A really bad job was done in putting this list together, overall. Where did you copy it from?

You know, PopTech, what might really be convincing (maybe) is a bar graph plotting the numbers of your papers against the year of publication. If the number was growing, that might cause one to wonder.

Better yet, plot them, rather than by count, by percentage of all papers both for and against GW. That would be really useful to you, if it showed the percentage of con papers was increasing over time. You might even classify it as a miracle.

shadron, excluding "Energy and Environment" of course. That thing is only one step better than J.O.N.E.S.

Not in the least.

Curiously, also, a number of the papers in Energy and Environment have been discussed at great length in various blogs. That is to say, the likes of Lambert, Rabitt, and Soro's operation, RealSmuggieClimate, seem to have thought they needed to discuss them.

Loehle is an example.

Well, what is it?

Are they right, or the self appointed moralistic bastions of scientific far left truthiness of JREF right?

Sure, glad to uh...contribute...

Who poisoned the well, me, with my ridiculous long insult to the Upholders of Sciency Moral Hygeine, or those here who poisoned the well to whom I took objection to, the Energy and Environment articles being smeared? Just curious....

I request that you take your well known, well trod, and well exercised loop of neurons which fire this off (otherwise known as neurotic behavior....that is, repeating disfunctional behavior after it is shown not to work) and actually consider the facts. Bolding is mine.

The OP: Another common myth is that no peer-reviewed papers exist disputing "man-made" global warming or the various environmental and economic effects.

Please explain to your audience how the CATO institute is not an excellant source for commentary on this subject.

I have a blog, and I can't even get my wife! To come debate stuff on there.
So where do I sign up for the "scientists debate important stuff here" link I can put on it.

Commentary? Uh, the OP is about peer-reviewed papers. (Or at least that's the topic it fails at.)

No that have the words "climate change" appear in them, instead of the words "global climate change". Not all are relevant to AGW, least of all the papers selected by Oreskes - all 1117 abstracts where only 13 (1%) explicitly endorse the 'consensus view' on AGW.

You failed indeed.

Quick question OP!
How many and which papers were published in Nature.
And could you give me issue numbers please!

Nature it the most reputable so I figure I will start there and work my way down.

You should know, nature is also called the "reputation killer" because if you publish in it and your peers find you falsified or even messed up your test. Your scientific reputation is on the line.

-edit-
To clarify!

What I mean to say is I know people who published in other journals and recanted there studies AFTER publication and it was ok. Embarassing but ok. I specifically have heard a friend tell me, "If I publish in nature, I better have my P's and Q's in order. Because you can lose your lab if you mess up there."

So personally (from my knowledge) I think I should start with nature.

You just proved my point! Someone either messed up a test or falsified research (the highest crime in science) in Nature. And you know what happened? They were found out and their reputation is ruined! Don't think those scientists will be overseeing a lab anytime soon because it is basically career suicide for LIFE to falsify data.

I proved your point by showing that fraudulent science got published in Nature? Is that a joke?

You probably don't need PT to list the papers in Nature...just follow his link, and use the "Find on this page..." feature in your web browser.

"Nature" would be the search term.

In my own search, I see a few, only one or two appear to be papers, others are "Commentary" or "Letters", etc.

Might want to look for yourself, though!

Good luck!

My point was if you post research in Nature you better make sure it is solid because it will get found out if you missed the slightest detail.

So yes! you proved my point! If you publish wrong data in Nature you will get called on it and your reputation will be ruined.

He posted them like he knew them to be true and accurate. OK then! He should be familiar with them. I don't see the harm in asking him that question. And let us say he gave an answer and then I looked, and I discovered that he was wrong. Then that would call into question the entire list.

Most of them were published in Energy and Environment, which is also a reputation killer though in this case it’s because it’s a pseudoscientific rag that publishes papers or embarrassingly low quality.

There are a couple references in Nature, but aside from a couple that were listed as commentary none they seemed to have either very little relevance to current climate change or actually refute the OP’s claims. For example the very first one I found was a letter that talked about a climate change event 55 million years ago where a 70% increase in CO2 caused 5-9 deg of warming. Current accepted CO2 sensitivity is that a 100% increase will cause 3 deg of warming.

"The following types of contribution to Nature journals are peer-reviewed: Articles, Letters, Brief Communications, Communications Arising, Technical Reports, Analysis, Reviews, Perspectives, Progress articles and Insight articles."

Actually it doesn't all it proves is that Nature's peer-review process is no better than any other journal and it's alleged "reputation" irrelevant.

Absolutely not true. E&E is a reputation killer for frauds like Michael Mann.

(Energy & Environment, Volume 14, Number 6, pp. 751-771, November 2003)
- Stephen McIntyre, Ross McKitrick


The M&M Critique of the MBH98 Northern Hemisphere Climate Index: Update and Implications (PDF)

And it states: "We conclude that ...other processes and/or feedbacks that are hitherto unknown must have caused a substantial portion of the warming during the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum."

Clearly stating that CO2 was not the major driver.
