Because wind and solar don’t show their upstream energy requirements in national statistics, they appear cleaner, simpler, and cheaper than they truly are.

It seems strange that media outlets are flocking to white knight for First Street, and save its reputation. They are not the only company that does these kinds of “climate risk” analyses, and some other companies seem to be more transparent with their modelling and data, as admitted by CNN in their post. Perhaps it is because First Street is among those risk companies that explicitly generates reports and content for climate alarmists to use to scare the public, even though its risk assessme

The climate system is not an oscillator. It has oscillatory components, but the whole system is a gradient-driven heat engine. It moves energy from where there is a lot of it (the tropics) to where there is very little (the poles). If more energy enters the system, the distribution of that energy doesn’t increase the amplitude of some hypothetical wave.

Your criticism and your dissertation were and still are **completely correct**. When correlated systematic errors and the realistic treatment of infilling problems are properly accounted for, the global mean temperature curve before 1950–1970 (and partly even today) cannot physically be determined with an accuracy better than ±0.5–1 °C. Consequently, a claimed trend of +1.3 °C since 1850 is **not significantly distinguishable** from a zero trend. This is not “skeptical exaggeration”;
