IPCC Report Continues to Crumble
  • From the Telegraph, a brief history of the IPCC report’s collision with reality: Last month, the panel was forced to issue a humiliating retraction after it emerged statements about the melting of Himalayan glaciers were inaccurate. Last weekend, this paper revealed that the panel had based claims about disappearing mountain ice on anecdotal evidence in a student’s dissertation and an article in a mountaineering magazine. And on Friday, it emerged [...]
    • ClimateGate Graph of the Day
  • darwin_zero8The blue line represents the raw data. The red represents the adjusted, “value added” data used by climate scientists. What accounts for those oddly stepped adjustments which bend the curve sharply upward? Your guess is as good as anyone’s at this point. For a detailed account of where the graph comes from and what it means, I highly recommend a click over to Watts Up With That?
    • The Myth of Settled Science on AGW Has Been Busted
  • AJ Strata points me to this list in the OC Register. Since the CRU e-mails were published, at least 19 serious problems have been uncovered with the claims of climate change fanatics.

    • Samuelson on Obama’s Energy BS
  • If you read my reaction last week, this will sound familiar: Obama has made vilification of oil and the oil industry a rhetorical mainstay. This is intellectually shallow, if politically understandable. “Clean energy” won’t displace oil or achieve huge reductions in greenhouse gas emissions — for example, the 83 percent cut by 2050 from 2005 levels included in last year’s House climate change legislation. Barring major technological advances (say, low-cost [...]

At the Cape of Good Hope, Merkel listened to scientists explain the effects of global warming on species diversity.

    • Carbon Offsets = Child Labor
  • The Times of London is the first paper I’ve seen to make the connection: Pumping furiously on a foot treadle in the afternoon heat, six-year-old Sarju Ram is irrigating her impoverished family’s field, improving the crop and – without knowing it – helping environmentally sensitive holiday-makers assuage their guilt over long-haul flights to dream destinations. But Sarju and her four brothers and sisters working flat out in a clump of [...]
    • Was ClimateGate a Russian PsyOp?
  • putinOkay, I’m a skeptic on AGW. That said, I’ve noticed something about this that has me questioning the timing, shall we say. First off, it hasn’t been resolved whether the CRU e-mails were leaked or hacked. The Daily Mail says they were leaked by a group with ties to the “Russian security service.” Hmmm. One data point is not a trend. But what if we had two…? Yesterday the Telegraph [...]

    Let’s just do bullet points today, shall we?

    • Phil Jones steps down pending an investigation. Sounds like he’ll be back as soon as the heat is off.
    • Michael Mann is also being faux-investigated. Expect the all-is-clear as soon as they can identify the leaker and turn this into a story about him.
    • Douglas Keenan, writing at PJM, says there is another data scandal brewing. Queen’s University Belfast has for the last two years refused an FOI request to release tree ring data which would shed light on the Medieval Warm Period. Hiding the incline?
    • Hyperventilating media claims that the glaciers could by completely gone by 2035 turn out to be based on a typo. The original study said the glaciers could be gone by 2350. Oops! Maybe they were accelerating the date to account for the CO2 emissions of all the flying cars people will be driving?
    • Megan McArdle nails it on her third attempt. She was shaky out of the gate, but I agree with this completely. The e-mails are very, very troubling. However, that doesn’t mean AGW is undone. It just means we can’t trust the people who tell us the science is settled.

    That was painless.

      Time is getting short and it is coming down to the fact, that soon I will have to pray to the good Lord to maintain our freedoms and not allow our leaders to sign the Copenhagen Treaty, which will take away our liberties, let go and let God-this being a challenge to our Lord and Saviour? However, while there is still time to prevent the loss of a lifetime, perhaps loss of life it’s self – I will do what I am able to fight for our freedoms! The whole Climate change agenda is a proven fraud and racketeering, but the United Nations and Globalist governments don’t care as that is just the excuse instrument they have used to ensnare us! Has everybody out there become a tree hugger? The tree will be standing 100 years from now, but will you be looking at the tree, from inside the fence of a Concentration Camp? Anyone out there want to fight and maintain their freedom anymore? Please do all you can to preserve freedom in North America!

      To request that PM Harper doesn’t sign the Copenhagen Treaty, thereby causing Canadians to lose
      their Sovereignty and Freedom email the PM at: pm@pm.gc.ca

      Any lawyers want to help out by filing this Copenhagen Treaty be classified as an illegal Treaty, in order to, help save Freedom in North America? ( Unlimited Promotion Opportunity Here For a Law firm to Gain a favorable high profile credibility! )
