Last night, the BBC broadcast a TV prmmoagre by the President of the Royal Society, Sir Nurse, who claimed there is an unprecedented rate of global warming now.I just sent the following complaint to the BBC:Royal Society President, Sir Paul Nurse, falsely states that the RATE of climate change is „unprecedented”Royal Society President, Sir Paul Nurse, who won a Nobel Prize for identifying a key human gene (CDK1) in the cyclin family of proteins which regulate the DNA synthesis (and other stages required cell mitosis/division) during the lifespan of a normal cell, in the first 50 minutes or so of the prmmoagre ignore all the important criticisms of groupthink propaganda masquerading as science, and instead digs up selective „straw man” criticisms to knock down in the pretense of demolishing all arguments. The major one is the false statement he makes that the RATE of change of climate is unprecedented: actually nobody has ever disputed the fact that faster RATES of climate change and consequences have occurred in the past. The temperature on this planet is never constant! It is always either increasing or decreasing, so there is a 50% chance at any random time in history that the temperature will be rising, and a 50% chance that it will be falling!!! It’s always one or the other. Moreover, the temperature has been almost continuously rising for 18,000 years when the last ice age started to thaw, so for this period the expectancy of warming is higher than 50%. Over the past 18,000 years global warming has caused the sea levels to rise 120 metres, a mean rise of 0.67 cm/year, with even higher rates of rise during part of this time. In the century of 1910-2010, sea levels have risen linearly by a total of 20 cm or a mean rate of rise of 0.20 cm/year. Nobody disputes the fact that we’re now living through a period of relatively SLOW climate change compared to the epoch of the past 18,000 years when humans adapted and indeed flourished under conditions of climate change. He also avoids the small CO_2 footprint of nuclear power. …He should not have been permitted to transmit such factually incorrect statements unchallenged. Then he interviews an ignorant science journalist and tells him that the public must believe the consensus of expert opinion on cancer diagnoses. I’ve known many close relatives who have received incorrect diagnoses, and I’ve had incorrect diagnoses myself. Consensus is the worst part of medicine, the least scientific and most political edge. It’s very dangerous. You should go to a doctor for a consultation and for advice and explanation, and be free to do your own research. It’s your life. This man is in this sense a pseudoscientific danger, like his fellow Nobel laureate the surgeon Alexis Carrel who in 1935 wrote Man, the Unknown , which advocated the pseudoscientific use of eugenics to create a super-race , which the Nazis used to bolster the „scientific” image of racial prejudice! This is relevant since it is the danger of popularizing ignorance!
