I know it’s a tough job – but let’s just check their iconic, widely-quoted conclusion and parse its meaning: “Most of the observed increase in globally-averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHG concentrations.” [IPCC Synthesis Report, SPM, Nov 2007]. How should one interpret this ex [...]
The following Abstract entitled, ‘Solar Influence on Recurring Global, Decadal, Climate Cycles Recorded by Glacial Fluctuations, Ice Cores, Sea Surface Temperatures, and Historic Measurements Over the Past Millennium’ by Don Easterbrook, is from the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Annual Fall Meeting in San Francisco, 15-19 December 2008: “GLOBAL, cyclic, decadal, climate patterns can be traced [...]
Scientists have reported a rapid recovery in some of the coral reefs that were damaged by the Indian Ocean tsunami four years ago. It had been feared that some of the reefs off the coast of Indonesia could take a decade to recover. The New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) found evidence of rapid growth [...]
The UK’s cooling climate, wet summers and generally erratic weather over the past two years has had a negative effect on some of the UK’s wildlife. The BBC reported The National Trust as saying: Birds, mammals and particularly insects have all suffered from a cold, late spring, a wet summer with little sunshine and a [...]
The Met Office is the UK Government’s official Meteorological agency and a key promoter of climate alarmism, which claims that simulation models are now accurate predictors of both global and local effects of stimuli to the climate. Presented below is a chronology of notable predictions via Met Office press releases and media articles starting on [...]
NASA already has James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt, but still no sign of the 90 rubber ducks that were sent down a drainage hole in the Greenland ice in September. According to the BBC News website, the ducks are an experiment to see how melt waters find their way to the base of the ice [...]
WASHINGTON, DC – Award winning Princeton University Physicist Dr. Will Happer, who was reportedly fired by former Vice President Al Gore in 1993 for failing to adhere to Gore’s scientific views, has now declared man-made global warming fears “mistaken.” “I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon dioxide is mistaken,” Happer, who has published [...]
US President-elect Barack Obama has nominated two leading global warming specialists for key science posts in his administration. Harvard physicist John Holdren will be Mr Obama’s scientific adviser while marine biologist Jane Lubchenco will head the US oceanic research body. Both have advocated greater government action on climate change. BBC News website: ‘Climate experts get [...]
A study of Swiss Glacier mass balance by Huss et al, presented at the AGU 2008 Fall Meeting, uses a mixture of direct data and modelling. The scientists analysed the mass trends from 1900 to 2007. Over this period, there is a significant negative trend. It is not linear, however. There are two distinct phases [...]
Jean Syrota, the former French energy industry regulator – to draw up a report to analyse all the options for building cleaner and more efficient mass-market cars by 2030. The 129-page report was completed in September to coincide with the Paris motor show. But the government has continued to sit on it and seems reluctant [...]
