Update 3: Two more years down the track – time to recallibrate again!
Update 2: One more year down and still the warming continues.

Update: One year down and they had to recalibrate the graph to fit in all the warming that Joanne says is not happening.

Some will have noticed that I have not been posting much lately; why? Well after 80 posts I figure if someone can’t understand how poor Joanne Nova’s “science” is by now, I doubt they ever will.
98% of publishing climate scientists tell us it’s happening, we’re to blame, and the impacts will be serious. Hundreds of scientists from dozens of countries agree that action on reducing emissions is imperative if we are to be serious about reducing the impacts from climate change. If someone wishes to ignore that advice and go with Joanne Nova, blogger and repeater of climate myths, then no amount of reasoning will change for their mind is not open to discussion. So instead of blogging I am now actively speaking out to friends and colleagues and that’s been a very positive experience.
The warming continues and the impacts are already felt clearly around the world. Ocean Heat Content, where 90% of heat is accumulating continues to climb. Here’s the latest update from a few days ago …
Joanne Nova is in denial. She claims that the figures are not correct, but instead of proving this through scientific method, through the rigorous process of publishing her “evidence and method” in an established scientific journal, and have it peer-reviewed by experts in the field, Joanne instead relies on blogging. If you’re one of those people stupid enough to believe anything you read on an internet blog, then nothing I can say will change your mind.

True indeed. Joanne’s playbook is limited and obvious: you’ve done all that is needed to highlight its deficiencies.

I just googled “Joanne Nova Denial” and found this post. You are bang on. I started asking difficult questions, like “Please support your claim that OHC is not rising”, she posted links to papers, but the funniest thing was that none of the papers actually supported her claims. I think she believes that her readers are dumb enough not to actually open the citations and read for themselves.
The stupidest part of all was when she cited Levitus, S., et al. (2012), which is the source of the calculations for the OHC data above! What a nutter!
What’s more devious about Nova is the way she now blocks my posts. So not only can she not answer the “inconvenient question”, she blocks any attempt to force the issue.

nova means doesn’t go in Spanish. Sounds like her brain.
Thanks for the post.

have you seen David Evans latest work on solar?

Yes. Just another example of curve fitting.

It’s worse than curve-fitting, it’s wishful thinking.

The author of itsnotnova, in their criticism of Joanne Nova states, “If you’re one of those people stupid enough to believe anything you read on an internet blog, then nothing I can say will change your mind.”
I’m not sure of the technicality of what is an internet blog and what isn’t, but it looks a lot like the author posted that comment on an internet blog. I suppose that means either we shouldn’t believe that we’re stupid if we believe what we read on an internet blog; or we can believe what Nova writes because maybe it’s this blog that is the one we can’t believe.
Think I’ll go look up the definition of irony.

Read the science instead of blogs (yes, including this one). Peer reviewed science is likely to be more accurate than any blog as the authors are held accountable, whereas bloggers like Nova are not. You can find a lot of them summarised at https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/earth_climate/climate/ – they include links to the actual scientific publication so feel free to read the original paper.
