ANOTHER CLIMATE SCIENTIST WITH IMPECCABLE CREDENTIALS BREAKS RANKS: “OUR MODELS ARE MICKEY-MOUSE MOCKERIES OF THE REAL WORLD”
[Article originally published on the now censored electroverse.net]
Dr. Mototaka Nakamura received a Doctorate of Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and for nearly 25 years specialized in abnormal weather and climate change at prestigious institutions that included MIT, Georgia Institute of Technology, NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, JAMSTEC and Duke University.
In his book The Global Warming Hypothesis is an Unproven Hypothesis, Dr. Nakamura explains why the data foundation underpinning global warming science is “untrustworthy” and cannot be relied on:
“Global mean temperatures before 1980 are based on untrustworthy data,” writes Nakamura.
“Before full planet surface observation by satellite began in 1980, only a small part of the Earth had been observed for temperatures with only a certain amount of accuracy and frequency. Across the globe, only North America and Western Europe have trustworthy temperature data dating back to the 19th century.”
From 1990 to 2014, Nakamura worked on cloud dynamics and forces mixing atmospheric and ocean flows on medium to planetary scales. His bases were MIT (for a Doctor of Science in meteorology), Georgia Institute of Technology, Goddard Space Flight Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Duke and Hawaii Universities and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.
He has published 20+ climate papers on fluid dynamics. There is no questioning the man’s credibility or knowledge base.
Today’s ‘global warming science’ is akin to an upside down pyramid which is built on the work of a few climate modelers. These AGW pioneers claim to have demonstrated human-derived CO2 emissions as the cause of recently rising temperatures and have then simply projected that warming forward. Every climate researcher thereafter has taken the results of these original models as a given, and we’re even at the stage now where merely testing their validity is regarded as heresy.
Here in Nakamura we have a highly qualified and experienced climate modeler with impeccable credentials rejecting the unscientific basis of the climate crisis claims — the AGW Party’s worst nightmare.
Data Falsification
When arguing against global warming the hardest thing I find is convincing people of data falsification, namely temperature fudging. If you don’t pick your words carefully, forget some of the facts, or get your tone wrong then it’s very easy to sound like a conspiracy nut job.
But now we have Nakamura.
The good doctor has accused the orthodox scientists of “data falsification” in the form adjusting historical temperature data down to inflate today’s subtle warming trend.
Nakamura writes, “The global surface mean temperature-change data no longer have any scientific value and are nothing except a propaganda tool to the public.” And while climate models are useful tools for academic studies, “The models just become useless pieces of junk or worse (as they can produce gravely misleading output) when they are used for climate forecasting.”
Climate forecasting is simply not possible, Nakamura concludes, and the impacts of human-caused CO2 can’t be judged with the knowledge and technology we currently possess. The models grossly simplify the way the climate works.
As well as ignoring the sun, the modelling also drastically simplifies large and small-scale ocean dynamics; aerosol changes that generate clouds (cloud cover being one of the key factors determining whether we have global warming or global cooling); the drivers of ice-albedo (“Without a reasonably accurate representation, it is impossible to make any meaningful predictions of climate variations and changes in the middle and high latitudes and thus the entire planet”); and water vapor.
Climate forecasts also suffer from arbitrary “tunings” of key parameters that are simply not understood.
Nakamura On CO2
“The real or realistically-simulated climate system is far more complex than an absurdly simple system simulated by the toys that have been used for climate predictions to date, and will be insurmountably difficult for those naive climate researchers who have zero or very limited understanding of geophysical fluid dynamics,” continues Nakamura.
“The dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans are absolutely critical facets of the climate system if one hopes to ever make any meaningful prediction of climate variation.”
Additionally, solar input is modeled as a “never changing quantity,” which is absurd.
“It has only been several decades since we acquired an ability to accurately monitor the incoming solar energy. In these several decades only, it has varied by one to two watts per square meter. Is it reasonable to assume that it will not vary any more than that in the next hundred years or longer for forecasting purposes? I would say, No.”

Arm yourself with the facts, and then spread them–facts such as the three collated below (all lifted from the book):
“[The models have] no understanding of cloud formation/forcing.”
“Assumptions are made, then adjustments are made to support a narrative.”
“Our models are mickey-mouse mockeries of the real world.”
Solar Forcing
Solar output isn’t constant, IPCC — and the modulation of cloud nucleation is a key consequence.
During solar minima, the sun’s magnetic field weakens and the outward pressure of the solar wind decreases. This allows more Cosmic Rays from deep space to penetrate our planet’s atmosphere. These CRs have been found to nucleate clouds (Svensmark et al), with clouds known to play a crucial role in Earth’s climate system.
As Roy Spencer, PhD. succinctly writes: “Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade, and if cloud cover changes for any reason, you have global warming — or global cooling.”
“(cloud cover being one of the key factors determining whether we have global warming or global cooling)”
This is aptly demonstrated this morning in SW Florida.
It has been cool the past several days with February like temperatures as
the cool clear dark sky soaked up the heat as a black body will absorb radiation.
Today we have a solid moderately high cloud cover that moved in last night.
The Sky temp is up THIRTY DEGREES F, from 26 F to 56 F. The air temp up to 66 F.
The air temp is up only 4 F, but up is up. With the clouds this means rain.
The rain will cool being nature’s equivalent of freon and “air conditioning”!
BTW – the Bugs are back. We have been enjoying pretty much a bug free environment but with the warmer temps and humidity today, the 28th of April the bugs are back!

Water is a refrigerant fluid. It just operates at different temps and pressures than Freon. At the plastics plant 1982 when the Freon based cooling water compressor proved troublesome, using some 6,000 lbs of Freon lost to the air each time we had to work on it, the engineers replaced it with a water based system. This machine would pull a vacuum on the water which then cooled to 40 F the plant’s cooling tower water. The vacuum was caused by a dessicant absorbing water vapor. There were two containers of dessicant. While one was absorbing the other was heated by steam to dry it out to be used again and again. The entire unit was in a small building about the size of a 20 ft container or two. The way this machine moaned and groaned one would think an earthquake was happening.
Today the ENTIRE refinery looking like polypropylene and polyethylene producing plant is leveled, sitting south of Odessa, Texas. It was a good job while it lasted.
It’s not just the total global cloud cover that can affect global temperature anomalies, but also the spatial distribution of clouds and the type of cloud. Although in general it’s correct to say that clouds reflect incoming sunlight and act as a sunshade the detail is far more complicated. Clouds can also provide an insulating effect and trap heat, such as during cloudy nights in winter when temperatures may only drop by 5 degrees or less whereas on clear nights temperatures can drop by 15 degrees or more in very dry air. The same applies on a global scale, areas near the equator gain heat which is transported by the oceans and atmosphere to higher latitudes which are areas of net heat loss. Therefore a decrease in tropical cloud cover will result in more energy reaching the surface and warming, whereas a decrease in cloud cover at high latitudes will mean less insulation, more heat being lost to space and cooling. Therefore even if over several decades total global cloud cover stays the same but the tropics become cloudier and high latitudes less cloudy global average temperature will decrease, and vice versa. This is something that none of the models includes or could predict decades in advance. It’s possible that ocean cycles such as the PDO and AMO can change the spatial distribution of cloud cover e.g. by changing the average position of quasi permanent areas of cloud free high pressure such as the Azores High over the Mid Atlantic and the equivalent high over similar latitudes in the Pacific. Jim Steele in his book Landscapes & Cycles touches on this when discussing periods of drought in the Western US, but it seems that even climate sceptic scientists haven’t devoted much research time to this area of climate science.
One other curious whodacky about clouds is earth’s surface below a clear sky receiving maximum sunlight (energy) from the sun can receive even more energy from incoming energy refracted by clouds not directly overhead.
This can give an area of earth surface greater energy received than calculated by total solar irradiance. (TSI)
A minor curiosity.

Poor guys about to get canceled.
Here in Colorado Springs we typically get 300 sunny days a year! This year we are getting far more cloudy days, more than double than normal. No wonder the first 4 months of this year is running 7F colder than average! I’m wondering how effective solar energy will be, it’s definitely having a negative effect on ours.
I‘ve been flying this week from Italy to Switzerland. Snow was on the hights of Apenin near Napoli to the Alps, that have still a huge amount of snow.
The air wasn’t clear blue, but milky, cloudy, a white layer in the sky. It reminds me on the Svensmark effect. In the south of Italy it was unusually cold, end of April 2023.
Thanks for that update on the amount of snow on the Alps. The MSM were, predictably, very keen to report the relative lack of snow at the start of the year but have been silent on the subject ever since. This made me suspect that snow amounts had recovered or perhaps gone above average for the time of year as if they were still way below average the media would still be reporting it. Temperatures over the Alps look like they’re going to stay below average with more snow for at least a couple of weeks so the melt season at higher altitudes is going to start late this year. It’ll be interesting to see if snow cover at the end of summer is higher than last year, or if they’ll be more media scare stories about Roman era paths becoming visible again, which actually shows that snow cover on some of the passes was lower than current levels 2,000 years ago, climate is cyclical and changes independently of CO2.

Thank you 👍
You can’t read the book for free unless you sign up and pay for a subscription. Besides, I couldn’t find an English version.
On cloud cover, the Copenhagen Consensus Foundation has proposed research into “cloud whitening” as a cheap, simple and remarkably effective geoengineering solution.
In short, by spraying ocean mist up a few hundred meters in the air from a small number of ocean going vessels, this would encourage whiter clouds, and with this we could potentially halt global temperature rise almost overnight.
https://www.copenhagenconsensus.com/copenhagen-consensus-iii/climate-engineering
Obviously there is a big question mark over whether temperature rise is as rapid as we are told, or if it’s even a problem, or if it will continue. But they propose having this as a solution to hand if it turns out we need it. But the climate doom mafia won’t entertain discussion of such things if it doesn’t bankrupt the global economy and/or send humanity back to a pre-technology stone age.
There’s loads of different schemes that have been proposed to cool the Earth e.g. spraying sulphur into the atmosphere or fertilizing the oceans to encourage algal blooms that would absorb carbon dioxide. The problem is that the only thing stopping people from doing these things is, at the minute, money since there’s no laws against geoengineering especially if it takes place in international waters. The danger is a large foundation or even an individual billionaire could well one day fund such a madcap idea with goodness knows what end results for temperatures and global weather patterns.
Last Friday Seattle had record cold temp for daytime high. Yesterday Friday broke the record for hot day. Forty degree difference. Last Friday NW US was under a giant Kamchatka volcanic ash plume from a solar flare that blocked the Sun with heavy rain and mountain snow. Sunday night was the big solar storm from a direct hit solar flare Kp8 northern lights down to Mexico and cosmic rays dropped six percent down to five percent below normal. Electron flux was above SWPC Alert Threshold all last week from the Kp8, another CME and a solar windstorm from a direct facing negative polarity coronal hole and it’s above alert level now on Saturday morning.

Florida and SE US still getting hit from Mexi volcano along with others from C America and S America. Last report on here two weeks ago said the Mexican volcano has erupted over three hundred times already this year more than double all last year. The eruptions are from solar activity as they have been the last few years, not CRs from no solar activity just like all the other volcanos going off around the planet they started erupting when the sun woke up as per solar flare, not CRs from no flares. Like Hawaii in December or Tonga last January and on and on. When CRs were at their peak volcanos were quiet there was no SO2 on the map from them, PM2.5 map was clean. It all started when the planets were lining up for the Grand Conjunction in Dec 2020 and just got worse during alignments and solar activity. One person at Ice Age Now said it was an 800 year alignment and has ended civilizations every time from volcanos. He had a list. I digress, the thunder showers SE US are from volcanos from solar activity because of major planetary alignments right now.

Heat rising, you seen all the US tornados this year? Heat rising from volcanos following solar activity from planetary alignments. Not from carbon not from cosmic rays from no solar flares. Just like last year and the year before are the volcanos going to stop now that Jupiter and Saturn are separating or what? Do they get worse as solar flares get bigger the next two years? I have no idea and am just glad the net still works and my pute so I can try to watch it all:

Right between pos polarity and neg polarity right now, the red/green show. Dangerous sunspot lookin’ right at us, Mercury in retrograde. This is my fourth pute in six years, I’ve had very slow internet for ten years. I hate Windows 10. Everybody keeps changing their websites, it’s a constant battle to learn anything amongst all the BS., when we get solar activity my internet goes out. I still can’t get SimSolar, working on it. I certainly had no idea weather and climate were this complex twelve years ago. Long live the internet and free speech.

Hi Cap, has your site been attacked again? I’m not seeing pictures anymore, just big gaps everywhere.
Thanks.
This can happen with some adblockers.
What are your thoughts on this article in “ARS Techica” negatively regarding the work of Valentina Zharkova?

Later on she published her research. In my oppinion she‘s brilliant!
I’m a Japanese to English translator if anyone wants me to translate the whole thing. I translate medical documents for the DoD so I’m not just some fly-by-night either. Contact me if you want to start an English copy of this.
I don’t understand how life on Earth could have survived the intense heat when Vikings were growing barley and raising sheep in Greenland, and Romans were growing grapes and citrus in England, and Egypt was building pyramids. I don’t understand how coral survived a sea level rise of 400 feet since the end of the Ice Age, but won’t survive a rise of 2 millimeters next year. I don’t understand how Bangladesh can be inundated by sea level rising 2 millimeters per year while the Ganges delta is silting up at 4 millimeters per year.
