68 Acidic error

Guardian Confused the rate of change of something, with the actual figure and no one noticed.

- THIS MEGA cos it sums the entire climate debate in a simple in a microcosm :A brilliant example of fearful alarmists vs Skeptics
- I realise the difference of thinking : they are coming from a base of FEAR.... fear drives "drama queening panic", drives rush, drives getting fact 180 degrees confused
- Greendream followers have no feeling for science & are sloppy with it and also in a rush retweet (& ALMOST NEVER CORRECT later). Who shows these colors ? The Guardian made an fundamental error in the first sentence & neither their professional editors or fanboys spotted it Fiona Harvey ran to plug her story tweeted that first sentence, @NatureGeosci, @BBCNewshour, @bbcworldservice, @GeorgeMonbiot (followers retweened 101 times)
- The Guardian page gathered 371 comments, before comments were switched off ..non of the uncensored comments mention the error ..they just all ploughed in "fault of big oil" etc. etc.

It's like in the famous experiment, where people miss the obvious gorilla. Focused on the fear they just don't see the same big picture, that skeptics do.
- How come they didn't spot the error at the 5th word ? "The oceans are more acidic" hmm "The Oceans are BECOMING more acidic AT A RATE" or "oceans acidification is more" is what they meant to say But their thinking is "What's wrong with that ? Doh, we are all going to die, you fool ! that's what's wrong !"
- And we can trust the "consensus scientists" cos they stepped forward to correct the public record ? Oh seems like a "no", cos after 4 days none have.
- Also note how media and governments are quick to republish greendream stuff from scientists speaking outsides their field instead of going to an expert in the field

How can that "tiny minority" geeky old skeptics be right and all the AFEARED : the cool artistic crowd, the authorative Guardian and BBC be wrong ..it's not possible !

BTW was it NEWS anyway ? the headline in Washington Post 31st Aug & Time on 2nd March "Sea Changes: Ocean Acidification Is Worse Than It’s Been for 300 Million Years and same mis extrapolation then
e.g. @s_guilbeault 2 Mar 12
"Our oceans now more acid than they've been for 300 MILLION years because of increasing CO2 levels "
- Steve Burnett wrote a good item in WUWT in July

Yes credit to @NatureGeosci (took them 4 days to correct tweet)

Alarmists meme every climate story with the usual polar bear photo, can we meme counter-commentaries with a pic of a drama queen ?

Acidic Incident explains the state of Climate Debate

Yesterday I came to understand the thinking of the other side. They are driven by FEAR, which causes them to rush to conclusions & "drama queen". Then today a brilliant example

How can a few Geeky skeptics be right and all the afeard the cool artistic crowd, the authorative Guardian and BBC be wrong ..it's not possible !
- Do you send General who has fear in his brain, to make your decisions ?

Odd Notes

These extreme overstatements that warmists so often make ..are they genuine mistakes or exagerration lies for the cause ? why would anyone feel the need to go beyond the truth ?
... Hang-on I am channeling Sir Bob Geldof
Of Course they are freakin lies ! for freak sake, the whole life of the planet is at stake ! We need you lies ! send us your freakin lies NOW !

.. please make his new single "Do they know it's BS ?" the Xmas #1
he's doing it with large green corps like Solyndra, Tesla Earthday TM ..think they call it BRAND AID

extra notes rewordings

Entire Climate debate in a simple story : Guardian Confused the rate of change of something, with the actual figure and no one noticed.
- Yesterday I came to understand that the "true believer", alarmists, warmists etc are driven by fear, which causes them to rush to conclusions. Then today a brilliant example
- A new report came out saying that the RATE of acidicification is mega "highest in 300 million years". What Guardian journalist is not going to run with that story ? Fiona Harvwey did The Guardian headlined it "Ocean acidification due to carbon emissions is at highest for 300m years Overfishing and pollution are part of the problem, scientists say, warning that mass extinction of species may be inevitable" Thursday 3 October 2013
- Then the first sentence "The oceans are more acidic now than they have been for at least 300m years, due to carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, and a mass extinction of key species may already be almost inevitable as a result, leading marine scientists warned on Thursday." What's wrong with that ? ..simple it's in the 5th word The oceans are more acidic" hmm "The Oceans are BECOMING more acidic AT A RATE" or "oceans acidification is more" is what they meant to say but Fiona Harvwey to plug her story tweeted that first sentence, BBC depts retweeted it, Monbiot retweeted it, 101 of his followers retweeted it..The Guardian page gathered 371 comments, before comments were switched off ..non of the uncensored comments mention the error ..they just all plough in "fault of big oil" etc. etc. then
- Then skeptic Latimer Alder read the article and tweeted an alert of the error. Ruth Dixon turned it onto a blog post http://mygardenpond.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/the-oceans-are-not-more-acidic-now-than-in-the-past-300-million-years/
- And we can trust the "consensus scientists" cos they stepped forward to correct the public record ? Oh seems like a "no", cos after 4 days none have. How can a few Geeky skeptics be right and all the afeard the cool artistic crowd, the authorative Guardian and BBC be wrong ..it's not possible ! I note this ties into Gorilla blindness ..seems when you are afraid you can't see the big picture Do you send General into battle if he has fear in his brain ?

WORDING 2 Mike I have just realised something pretty big, same data
- why the 2 sides in the climate debate draw 2 different conclusions from the same data ? The cool & arty & authority of Guardian & BBC vs The geeky old skeptics ? Do you know the experiment when people can't see the gorilla on the basketball court ? If people come with FEAR they are gorilla blind, so jump to conclusions, they miss gorilla's The skeptics are geeky and check detail (focused on now, not of end catastrophe)
- There is a brilliant example of this Thursday a Guardian writer made a mega error in the first sentence and none of the warmist readers or "consensus scientists noticed
- Then skeptic Latimer Alder read the article and tweeted an alert of the error. Ruth Dixon turned it onto a blog post http://mygardenpond.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/the-oceans-are-not-more-acidic-now-than-in-the-past-300-million-years/

WORDING 3 My summary Yesterday I came to understand that the "true believer", alarmists, warmists etc are driven by fear, which causes them to rush to conclusions. Then today a brilliant example
- A new report came out saying that the RATE of acidicification is mega "highest in 300 million years". What Guardian journalist is not going to run with that story ? Fiona Harvwey did The Guardian headlined it "Ocean acidification due to carbon emissions is at highest for 300m years Overfishing and pollution are part of the problem, scientists say, warning that mass extinction of species may be inevitable" Thursday 3 October 2013
- Then the first sentence "The oceans are more acidic now than they have been for at least 300m years, due to carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, and a mass extinction of key species may already be almost inevitable as a result, leading marine scientists warned on Thursday."
