David Henderson’s paper entitled ‘Economists and Climate Science: A Critique’ is due to appear in the coming issue (Volume 10 Number 1) of World Economics. This article presents a critique of the characteristic treatment by economists of issues relating to climate science, which appears as uncritical and over-presumptive. I draw on a range of illustrative [...]

Lu Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1, Canada Received 7 August 2008; published 19 March 2009 This Letter reports reliable satellite data in the period of 1980–2007 covering two full 11-yr cosmic ray (CR) cycles, [...]
MADISON: The recent warming trend in the Atlantic Ocean is largely due to reductions in airborne dust and volcanic emissions during the past 30 years, according to a new study. Since 1980, the tropical North Atlantic has been warming by an average of a quarter-degree Celsius (a half-degree Fahrenheit) per decade. Though this number [...]
……..Iberdrola, a big investor in wind farms in Spain and the owner of Scottish Power, is slashing its spending on renewables by 40 per cent. Shell said recently it would no longer invest in wind turbines, preferring to focus its efforts on new biofuel technology, while BP has opted out of the UK renewables market, [...]
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has previously objected to wind farm projects, but has now released a report saying that more should be built: There should be a significant increase in the number of wind farms built onshore in the UK, the RSPB has said. It called for an end to the [...]
A new paper has appeared which provides further discussion of an issue (urban effects), as well as the existing bais, with respect to the accurate calculation of multi-decadal global surface temperature trends (and thanks to ICECAP and Warwick Hughes for alerting us to the paper). The article is Jones, P. D., D. H. Lister, and [...]

Indian and German scientists have said that a controversial experiment has “dampened hopes” that dumping hundreds of tonnes of dissolved iron in the Southern Ocean can lessen global warming. The experiment involved “fertilising” a 300-square-kilometre (115-sqare-mile) area of ocean inside the core of an eddy — an immense rotating column of water — with six [...]
A warming of ocean temperatures by five degrees Celsius could prompt the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS), according to models published in Nature this week. The models show that such a catastrophic collapse has occurred several times in the recent past over geologically short timescales. Scientists are concerned that the WAIS is [...]
