In the case of 'global warming' there are lots and lots of subsidies. So 'experts' are incentivised to write reports that garner more of them subsidies.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586735342675041312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-86180129292354997772021-03-10T18:04:52.974+00:002021-03-10T18:04:52.974+00:00B, another good counter example.B, another good counter example.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-45420764359906401352021-03-10T17:33:03.183+00:002021-03-10T17:33:03.183+00:00Din, 1. sshh!

That's why there's all the emphasis on "extremes".<br />2. Jeez, that must have been unbearable even for the natives, who are presumably used to that temperature and humidity. No doubt they were thanking God for air-conditioning.<br /><br />OTOH "Theoretically no human can tolerate a wet bulb temperature of above 35C" is clearly wrong as lots of Scandanavians willingly subject themselves to wet bulb temperatures far higher than that in their saunas.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-82491582197413223782021-03-10T15:56:54.848+00:002021-03-10T15:56:54.848+00:00Din, good question.Din, good question.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-35754120853399757112021-03-10T15:09:14.221+00:002021-03-10T15:09:14.221+00:00Bayard well spotted , but Dhahran has been 33.3 De...Bayard well spotted , but Dhahran has been 33.3 Deg C.<br /><br />https://www.google.co.uk/search?ei=Z95IYOLPBMPYxgOcvrrAAQ&q=dhahran+wet+bulb+temperature+&oq=dhahran+wet+bulb+temperature+&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQghEKABMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKABOgcIABBHELADUPTcAVj03AFghugBaABwAXgAgAGCAYgBqwKSAQMyLjGYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6yAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwiin-Gc_qXvAhVDrHEKHRyfDhgQ4dUDCA0&uact=5Dinerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632385731642361211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-9097625384094951672021-03-10T14:56:41.474+00:002021-03-10T14:56:41.474+00:00Where are the positive global warming stories.

Like a good conjurer, the Alarmists have got you looking in the wrong place. A wet bulb temperature of 35C means that the minimum temperature you can reach through the evaporation of water is 35C and the dry bulb temperature (the one recorded as "the temperature") can be way above that and still be tolerable.<br />The sleight of hand is juxtaposing this piece of information with the usual alarmist crap without any causal link. Sure, we may not be able to tolerate a wet bulb temperature of 35C, but the Groaniad is not actually saying that anywhere is going to reach that sort of temperature and humidity, even if "governments fail to curb global heating to 1.5C above the pre-industrial era". They are leaving you to make that erroneous connection.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211150959757982948noreply@blogger.com
