I don't know about "scare" but Y2K was real unlike all Conspiracy Theories.<br /><br />Concerning AGW it's not all that complicated, some people like following Conspiracy Theories as a type of hobby. A strange hobby... but just a hobby.<br /><br />The rest well I suspect it is just confirmation bias, and an appalling lack of intellectual honesty. And some are just downright dishonest, what some call "bad faith actors". I run into this mob all the time in anti-vaccines, anti-GMO, anti-Evolution etc. They have a not-so-hidden agenda.Frank Rosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309632468813896365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-46386058822252239172018-06-13T04:01:49.636+10:002018-06-13T04:01:49.636+10:00Connedspiracy Theory does not require any proof or...Connedspiracy Theory does not require any proof or evidence to be considered true. In fact, just the opposite represents "truth". Because you can't find proof of Connedspiracy Theory that would pass any kind of reasonable fact check - this is considered "the proof" that Connedspiracy Theory must be true!<br /><br />I wrote a series of articles on this ridiculous thought process (or lack thereof) and why connedspiracy theory is the bastion of idiots, morons, stupidstitious fools and whatnot. I didn't pull any punches and still don't.<br /><br />Connedspiracy theory is what fuels the "alternative" reality / news cycle on a constant basis. It's like a shot of cold water being dumped over your head - you'll need a daily dose of this to stay "awake" and "informed" to the "truth about our world".<br /><br />Despite the vast majority of their claims being utterly false, dishonest and highly selective of their alleged "facts", the historical record shows that their connedspiracies are almost always false. But it does sell a lot of useless unnecessary products and gain website visitors.<br /><br />I recently got contacted by TimeBomb2000 - the old connedspiracy forum for the Y2K scare. It was a fund-raising request. I spent a few hours researching the site and examining their current articles and comments. Connedspiracy theory is alive and well (including climate change denial). But so is rampant racism, xenophobia, stupidstition, conjecture, straw "arguments" and absolute utterly ridiculous commentary from grossly uninformed participants.<br /><br />The connedspiracy theorists relish uninformed debate, illogical arguments and claims and lack of evidence. Facts are unnecessary. Counter-arguments are undesirable. Group-think and blind obedience to asinine claims is expected. Because of these characteristics, you do not find relevant arguments or facts being presented, they're not even desired in such places.<br /><br />These websites operate in a vacuum of self-fulfilling paranoia and prediction. Adherents scour the news for only what fits their preconceived filters for "truth". What you're left with is a bastion of stupidity and ignorance, reinforced by daily updates of outrageous denial and disbelief of the real world, poisoned by stupidstitions and wrong-headed thinking.<br /><br />Anthony Watt's website is exactly like this. I do not bother engaging, reading or stopping by to read anything there because it's the same regurgitated utter nonsense found all over the Stupid Net now. <br /><br />These people have abdicated all critical thought processes and have elected to promote absolute garbage that defies reality, science and facts in their quest to gain attention, readership, money and advertising revenues. They reject reality and live in an alternate universe of their own creation. They want you to join their dwindling numbers.<br /><br />It's not a place where I want to be. It's a dangerous delusional step away from reality. It's destroyed thousand of lives and will undoubtedly destroy more. I've made an earnest attempt to pick up the pieces of some of the shattered lives that have been affected by such websites and disinformation outlets. It is an enormous amount of work, but rewarding to see someone get their life and thought process back to reality.<br /><br />I've learned that you cannot help those who refuse to help themselves. Connedspiracy Theory is a dangerous, deep, dank, delusional black hole of despair and ugliness. If you know someone that has been caught up into this, they can be helped - but only when they have decided that they've had enough and want "out". It is a cult of connedspiracy collusion and fear, they have to want "out" in order start to deprogram from the lies and deceptions. ~Survival Acres~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-87126689735833573912018-06-12T12:14:49.910+10:002018-06-12T12:14:49.910+10:00Reading the article, Tim Ball is clearly homogenis...Reading the article, Tim Ball is clearly homogenising his data to be able to make better estimates of the observed warming. He also explains the various changes in the measurement methods that make the homogenisation necessary. The main one being the changes in the time of observation. <br /><br />He also clearly states that over the study period 1768 to 1910 the observational record shows warming:<br />"<i>The value of these records lies primarily in providing absolute measures of temperatures in central North America at the critical period of transition from the apparent termination of the Little Ice Age <b>into the warmer modern era.</b></i>"Victor Venemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842816166712285801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-36034954087521098902018-06-12T06:14:38.383+10:002018-06-12T06:14:38.383+10:00Thanks for digging up that Ball publication!
