@RennickGBR @DrunkAt12 Perhaps we'll find out if the authors are brave enough to actually publish

[C e i s t (Climate Change) @Ceist8]

Trump's newly annointed NON-expert on climate change Matthew Wielicki got caught posting an old newspaper meme misrepresenting a 20yr old paper Cook et al 2006 on droughts. He didn't even READ the paper or ANY of the much more recent research by the same authors which all REFUTE his ignorant opinions.

When I challenged him with the much more recent research, he deflected by claiming "there's the trick- restarting the clock in 1500". They did not.

Once again, he didn't even read the papers. He just looked at the title of the first paper I posted & ignored all the others which covered the last millenium and last 2000 years (not just since 1500).

Here's yet another paper by the same authors covering the last 2000 years that refutes his non-expert opinions:

"Megadroughts in the Common Era and the Anthropocene" Cook et al 2022
https://t.co/RzkMmEgs6D

"Anthropogenic climate change has intensified ongoing megadroughts in south-western North America and across Chile and Argentina. Future megadroughts will be substantially warmer than past events, with this warming driving projected increases in megadrought risk and severity across many regions, including western North America, Central America, Europe and the Mediterranean, extratropical South America, and Australia."

Wielicki likes to call others "intellectually lazy"? 😂

@TheDisproof 2/2 ""Climate change is a global issue, so it should be assessed using global data. Pointing to horrific fires in one corner of one continent while ignoring a planet that burns phenomenally less is the definition of cherrypicking"

[Jon Cook @JonLeCook]

@TheDisproof 1/2: I was reminded of this when reading Bjorn's typical nonsense in an article on the recent European fires this morning. Apparently he thinks we must use global data for fires, but only the GBR for coral....He wrote...

@TheDisproof @Lclimateguy Oh! I blocked Chris ages ago - what's the goss on him not knowing what AMOC stands for? sounds fun!

[Jon Cook @JonLeCook]

@ClimateRealists @dangerBoyAu I know you won't see this - but .... soo.... sooo.... stupid.

[insideNIAID @insideNIAID]

@mattwridley What do you mean? They published this: https://t.co/NitVMaGNA3

[C e i s t (Climate Change) @Ceist8]

@JonLeCook Yes, Wielicki posted childish insults and blocked everyone who posted screenshots of the Chat-GPT generated fake papers and quotes he posted (and deleted). Then he tried to play "victim"😂

@HarmstonVe56329 @Ceist8 @Feijoa_Chutney @DefiantLs Koonin in 2014:
"Although the Earth's average surface temperature rose sharply by 0.9 degree Fahrenheit during the last quarter of the 20th century, it has increased much more slowly for the past 16 years"

It kept warming sharply:

@rexdelay @TomANelson thanks for the heads up - muting and blocking Tom now

@mattwridley Ok Matt, I’ll bite. If you add 40 Gt H2O to the troposphere annually, how much warmer would the world be after a year? Or 5 years?

For CO2 it’s ~0.02C in a year, and ~0.1C in five years.
