That's a book. That's not what I asked for. Where are the meta studies?



It’s written by Judith Curry who has tons of cited work. Searching quickly unveils much more and it’s easy to do. But you don’t want to.

Hey I get it - you’re religious about it and can’t possibly take an objective scientific approach to the analysis. Dogma works that way. Many have been hooked on the mania and meaning it brings to their lives. That’s up to you.


Dude I'm just asking for studies backing up your position. You can't provide that, and I'm starting to think it's because it doesn't exist. I'm not gonna buy and read some non-peer-reviewed book by some random person. I'm sure this one person is the fringe "climate change isn't a big deal" climatologist, I know those exist, reading their book won't convince me that they're not on the fringe which is what this whole conversation is about.

I'm done here. Keep living in your fantasy bubble where climate change is no big deal, keep ignoring the 99.9% of climate scientists who say it's a big deal; after all you have a book from the 0.01% to back you up. I clearly won't convince you about anything, and you certainly wont convince me by pointing to non-peer-reviewed writings from individuals in that 0.01%. The fact that that's the best you've got is evidence enough.


OK, cool. I think you live in a delusional world and that's OK because that's your choice. That you choose to live with needless anxiety about an imaginary catastrophe that probably won't happen is your choice. .01% lol - I don't even know where you get these numbers but I imagine you listen to some climate doomer thing that puts silly ideas like that into your head. But hey, you sure are convinced you know something here. But, you do understand how science works, right? I still can't tell.

Hint: Fitting data to your preconceived conclusion isn't science. And we all saw how this happens in Climategate.
