Putting Nonsense Above Science

The journal PNAS has a couple of new papers that use computer models to make unverfiable alarmist predictions 100 and 1000 years into the future.

Steig, David P. Schneider, Scott D. Rutherford, Michael E. Mann, Josefino C. [...]

Americans Skeptical of Human Role in Climate Change

Americans will have two messages for Barack Obama at his inauguration today: We love you but don’t blame us for climate change. In a national survey released on the eve of Obama’s inauguration by Rasmussen Reports, the U.S. polling company, a majority of Americans — 51% — now believe that humans are not the predominant [...]

CO2 Emissions from Met Office Supercomputer

A new £33m machine purchased to calculate how climate change will affect Britain, has a giant carbon footprint of its own. For the Met Office the forecast is considerable embarrassment.

The Abstract states: Surface solar radiation has undergone decadal variations since the middle of the twentieth century, producing global ‘dimming’ and ‘brightening’ [...]
