- I will admit that warming has been much slower than we expected
- I will admit that recent sea level rise is nothing unusual or threatening
- I will admit that our forecasts of declining snow cover were wrong
- I will admit that Arctic temperatures are cyclical, and that we have no idea what will happen to Arctic ice over the next 50 years
- I will admit that our forecasts of Antarctic warming have been a total failure.
- I will admit that Polar Bear populations are not threatened
- I will admit that climate models have demonstrated no skill, and are nothing more than research projects
- I will admit there was a Medieval Warm Period
- I will admit that that there was a Little Ice Age
- I will stop pretending that we don’t have climate records prior to 1970
- I will admit that the surface temperature record has been manipulated and is contaminated by UHI
- I will stop making up data where none exists
- I will honestly face skeptics in open debate.
- I will quit trying to stop skeptics from being published

- I will admit that temperatures have been cooling for at least the last decade
- I will publish the raw data and not lose it.
- etc. etc. etc.
I would not give climate models the dignity of calling them research projects. The word research implies that these are genuine scientists attempting to honestly test a hypothesis. How are climate models research when the results are rigged and predetermined?
They are post-normal research projects……..you know, where influencing opinion toward a desired action are more important than actually doing the science. It’s all the rage at the universities.

It would be a most remarkable climate if one country somewhere in the world did not have a warm year every once in a while.
I totally agree with you. I post this because people are so ridiculous. But I would like to know why these conditions
It’s interesting that after a century of “global warming”, Norway is as warm as 111 years ago!!
Certainly here in England we have had a very mild autumn, purely and simply because we have a nearly constant SW airflow. I would be pretty sure that Norway has experienced the same.
The same airflow off the Atlantic led to our extremely poor summer. I guess this weather pattern kept out the colder polar air in Norway.
Great!
More ones:
I will not finish my papers using selected words only to get more funds
I will not make pre-releases (tojournalist friends) of my research before publishing them
I will not label the skeptics as deniers
I will not delete e-mails to deceive FOIAs
I will not pose as skeptics to be um trojah horse
Those are nice, but reality is probably more like this:
I will only use Gmail or Hotmail to game the system.
I will only discuss really importantant issues, like how to get journal editors fired, on my personal cell phone – no written record.
I will ignore published papers that have shown my friends paper was total crap.
I will not let it be known that I think Michael Mann is a borish idiot who fudges his data and results.
I will always kiss Trenberths arse.
Etc., etc.,..
One for Mikey Mann :-
I WILL GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL. I WILL NOT PASS GO. I WILL NOT COLLECT £200.
Or one for Phil Jones
I WILL NOT GO TO JAIL
I WILL PASS GO
I WILL COLLECT £100k
Thanks for a very useful list for future reference. I can make use of this. It is all sad but very true.
Before the Cry Wolfer climate ‘scientists’ get to all the other resolutions, just admit:
#1 : The CAGW scam is the richest f***ing gravy train in the history of the world; I will continue to ride this sumbitch until all the wheels come all the way off
>17. I will admit that hurricanes are on the decline
>18. I will admit that severe tornadoes are on the decline
If these two declines have bottomed and lately started climbing as part of cooling I suppose climate scientists’d be excused for admitting so
