Answer: “Let’s see: There were 10 experts, 6 said they were 50-50 and 4 said they were 162.5% sure—that averages to 95% certainty. QED” (by “Bernie” on Matt Briggs blog March 25th, 2010, comment #13) Scientific Objectivity from IPCC Reports? Q: Can someone explain to me how IPCC can put a numeric probability to the statement that there is some 95% (“very likely”) chance that global warming by man-made CO 2 emissions is true? Answer: “Let’s see: There were 10 experts, 6 said they were 50-50... d 4 said they were 162.5%

Three problems: (1) No expertise in solar physics (2) Misleading/Confused discussion on radiative forcing (3) Hide key physics: Absolute TSI calibration problem (4) Cherry picking: PMOD against ACRIM+RMIB TSI (5) Selective and outdated knowledge/citations (6) Dangerous ignorance: TSI reconstruction problems and assumptions in Steinhilber et al. (2009, 2012) should be pointed out (7) On artificial 11-yr solar cycles and flawed Sun-like stars studies: Danger of Schmidt et al. (2011) (8) Refusal to cite Fontenla et al. (2011)-the best paper on physical modeling of Sun’s irradiance on all wavelengths (9) Real story on Bill Livingston and Matt Penn’s solar magnetic field measurements at NSO (10) Zero expertise in the study of solar-type stars: Astronomers wanted
7
Still only one possible solar physics expert (1) No expertise in solar physics Why no scientists that are trained or strong in solar physics? Final version: from 29 to 38 authors

(6) Dangerous ignorance: TSI reconstruction problems and assumptions in Steinhilber et al. (2009, 2012) should be pointed out p. 8-33: “Our assessment of the range of RF from TSI changes is 0.0-0.1 W/m2 which covers several updated reconstructions using the same 7-year running mean past-to-present minima years (Steinhilber et al., 2009 …”

A careful look into the most popular reconstructed TSI values and results by Steinhilber et al. (2009 and 2012): p. 5-107 of AR5 Steinhilber et al. (2012) PNAS, vol. 109, 5967-5971; (2009) GRL, vol. 36, 2009GL040142

A careful look into the most popular reconstructed TSI values and results by Steinhilber et al. (2009 and 2012): Highly questionable TSI-B r correlation and its physical relevance! Steinhilber et al. (2012) PNAS, vol. 109, 5967-5971; (2009) GRL, vol. 36, 2009GL040142

A careful look into the most popular reconstructed TSI values and results by Steinhilber et al. (2009 and 2012): Highly questionable TSI-B r correlation and its physical relevance! Steinhilber et al. (2012) PNAS, vol. 109, 5967-5971; (2009) GRL, vol. 36, 2009GL040142 Shocking basis for the TSI-B r correlation : Based on only 2 points! plus 2 questionable points!!! Frohlich (2009) Astronomy and Astrophysics, vol. 501, L27-L30 Two points that should NOT be included in the fit
15
The schizophrenic TSI-B r correlations from Frohlich many papers? Frohlich (2009) Astronomy and Astrophysics, vol. 501, L27-L30; Frohlich (2013) Space Science Review, vol. 176, 237-252; Frohlich (2012) Surveys in Geophysics, vol. 33, 453-473; Frohlich (2013)-ppt dated September 24, 2013 Why the values of TSI and Br keep changing ?
16
You say you want a correlation? Sunlight in California versus Number of people who drowned by falling into a bath-tub
17
One can hardly accept such a weak result (based strictly on 2-point correlation!!!) let alone to beat the world with the news that the changes in the Sun’s TSI are small and therefore of minimal or no influence on global climate!
19
(9) Real story on Bill Livingston and Matt Penn’s solar magnetic field measurements at NSO p. 8-34: “A linear expansion of the current trend may indicate that of [sic.] the order of half the sunspot activity may disappear by about 2015 (Penn and Livingston, 2006).” Just not true and simply not the correct representation of Penn and Livingston’s works

Conclusion: The gangster science as practiced by the United Nations IPCC AR5 WG I report will not prevail (because even the almighty and super powerful IPCC does not get to vote on reality)
