The Government’s plans to increase the proportion of Britain’s energy generated by “green” sources is set to cost between 11 and 17 times what the change brings in economic benefits. The figures are buried deep in the Government’s Renewable Energy Strategy paper produced last month. According to the document, while the expected cost will total [...]
Himalayan glaciers, including the world’s highest battlefield Siachen, are melting due to variations in weather and not because of global warming, Jammu University scientists have claimed. “The field studies from other glaciers in India also corroborate the fact that inter and intra-annual variations in weather parameters have more impact on the glaciers of northwest Himalayas, [...]
A new paper has been accepted which documents a newly recognized relationship between a circulation pattern [the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)] and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean basin. This study illustrates again why a simple climate metric such as the global average surface temperature trend cannot inform us of hurricane activity. Hurricanes depend on regional atmospheric [...]
It’s not often that a well informed interviewer asks challenging questions about climate alarmism and energy policy reality, especially on the BBC. All too often the likes of Greenpeace are allowed to make absurd statements on science and policy unchallenged. Enjoy some ‘global squirming’ from the outgoing Executive Director of Greenpeace International, Dr Gerd Leipold, [...]
Potential Dependence of Global Warming on the Residence Time (RT) in the Atmosphere of Anthropogenically Sourced Carbon Dioxide Robert H.

Yesterday the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) released a report that criticised the Government on its emissions policy. The report, Greening Government, suggests that the Government is unlikely to meet its 2011 targets for reducing CO2 emissions; carbon output has dropped by 6.3 per cent on 1999 levels – just half of its target of a [...]
The Taxpayers’ Alliance have published a new report entitled ‘Taxpayer funded lobbying and political campaigning,‘ which exposes a “tip of the iceberg” £38 million of taxpayers’ money given to groups that support government policy. Information was obtained using the Freedom of Information Act and was inspired by the FakeCharities.org website. For the year 2007 to [...]
Because it needs to be protected from the Sun! The scientists at the Real Climate (RC) weblog echo-chamber have recently launched another attack on the work of Nicola Scafetta. Scafetta does the unforgivable in the eyes of politically motivated climate alarmists and publishes peer reviewed papers claiming that the influence of the Sun on climate [...]
Living close to wind farms can lead to a greater risk of heart disease, panic attacks and migraines, according to a study. The farms can cause ‘wind turbine syndrome’, the symptoms of which also include tinnitus, vertigo and sleep deprivation, research to be published later this year claims. Dr Nina Pierpoint, a leading New York [...]
