Tory Leader David Cameron Still Losing the Plot on Climate

Conservative Party leader David Cameron is still trying to please Guardian readers, even though they are very unlikely to vote Conservative. Cameron did start to talk some sense on climate when he said, “If the environmental agenda becomes limited to well-suited politicians stepping out of aeroplanes on to tarmacs, telling people how to live their [...]

Carbon Credits to Cost 1700 UK Jobs

What is the connection between Dr Rajendra Pachauri, the Indian railway engineer who has been much in evidence at the Copenhagen climate conference, as chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and an Indian-owned steel company’s decision to mothball its giant Teesside steel works next month, ripping the heart out of the town [...]

Climate Realism in UK Newspapers

Today we have the Daily Express front page headline ’100 reasons why global warming is natural’ In The (Daily) Mail on Sunday we had a detailed ‘Special Investigation‘ into Climategate’s ‘hiding the decline.’ Things are certainly looking up in terms of news media reporting on climate more objectively.

Well, if at first you don’t succeed… The Met Office seems to have gone into climate alarmism over-drive during the Copenhagen Wealth Redistribution Summit, also [...]

‘Mystic’ Met Office’s Climategate Protection Racket

The Met Office has embarked on an urgent exercise to bolster the reputation of climate-change science after the furore over stolen e-mails. More than 1,700 scientists have agreed to sign a statement defending the “professional integrity” of global warming research. They were responding to a round-robin request from the Met Office, which has spent four [...]

Scientific Alliance Newsletter: Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen?

Few attendees or observers are likely to agree with the spirit of the old song, at least in terms of the output of the climate change summit. The stakes are high. After earlier hype of the ‘last chance to save the world’ type, expectations have been gradually moderated during the year. This is no longer [...]
