The growth of British trees appears to follow a cosmic pattern, with trees growing faster when high levels of cosmic radiation arrive from space. Researchers made the discovery studying how growth rings of spruce trees have varied over the past half a century. As yet, they cannot explain the pattern, but variation in cosmic rays [...]
Compulsive taxer and waster Gordon Brown, who like other MPs is very well-off, has two homes (one taxpayer funded) and clocks up more taxpayer funded air miles than a World War II bomber crew, is quoted in today’s Daily Mail spouting unfounded climate alarmism: Thousands of people will die from killer floods, droughts and heatwaves in Britain [...]
Watch the documentary film ‘Not Evil, Just Wrong’ live on Sunday 18th October at 8.00 pm EDT: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/not-evil-just-wrong http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/ http://action.afa.net/ I’ve already watched my personal DVD copy. I’ll be writing a short review of the film later.
The BBC reports that the Arctic Ocean could be ice free in as little as 10 years time, based on the ‘Catlin Ice Survey’ stunt (‘update’ here). There’s more from Anthony Watts here on the scientific joke of 2009. I think that anything involving ‘Climate Charlie’ and the ‘WWF’ is highly suspect. (WWF seem to have been [...]
The UK’s unilateral Climate Change Act (2008) was passed without any properly mapped out or costed plan of how the 2020 interim target of a 34% and the 2050 target of an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions would be achieved. Instead, a Committee on Climate Change was set up after the act was passed in [...]
Chip Knappenberger has an excellent post over a MasterResource showing how recent global temperature data can be cherry-picked to show cooling, non-warming, or even warming. He concludes: “I am often asked as to what is the “right” answer is. What I can say for certain, is that the recent behaviour of global temperatures demonstrates that [...]
Britain faces a return to 1970s-style power blackouts and disruption to its electricity supplies within four years, the energy regulator warned yesterday. Ofgem raised the spectre of a return to the three-day week for British industry as the country scrambles to renovate its crumbling power infrastructure ahead of new EU pollution rules that will force [...]
BBC News climate correspondent Paul Hudson has produced a surprisingly balanced article using the same title as a recent CRN post: What happened to global warming? I wonder if this has been approved by ‘climate campaigner’ Jo Abbess? The article begins: This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that [...]
“So almost five years after we first submitted our paper how does it hold up? Pretty well I think, on all counts. I would not change any of the conclusions above, nor would I change the reply to Anthes et al. Science changes and moves ahead, so any review will eventually become outdated, but ours [...]
Pielke, Jr., R.A., 2009. United States hurricane landfalls and damages: Can one-to five-year predictions beat climatology?, Environmental Hazards, Vol. 8, pp. 187-200. (pdf) Abstract: This paper asks whether one- to five-year predictions of United States hurricane landfalls and damages improve upon a baseline expectation derived from the climatological record. The paper argues that the large [...]
