He is the climate change chief whose research body produced a report warning that the glaciers in the Himalayas might melt by 2035 and earned a Nobel Prize for his work – so you might expect Dr Rajendra Pachauri to be doing everything he can to reduce his own carbon footprint.
But as controversy continued to [...]
The chairman of the leading climate change watchdog was informed that claims about melting Himalayan glaciers were false before the Copenhagen summit, The Times has learnt.
Rajendra Pachauri was told that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment that the glaciers would disappear by 2035 was wrong, but he waited two months [...]
Osama bin Laden has warned of the dangers of climate change.
The Al Qaeda leader spoke in a new audiotape aired in part on Al Jazeera television today.
In the tape, bin Laden warns of the threat presented by global warming – but he also offered a solution.
‘Talk about climate change is not an ideological luxury but [...]
Donna Laframboise has previously compiled a list on non-peer reviewed reports by climate activist group WWF cited by the IPCC in AR4, including the now infamous Himalayan Glaciergate report. Read more here:

You may remember that back in November I reported here that we were lodging a complaint with Norfolk Police about clear and criminal breaches of the FoI Act by staff at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit. Two months on, the story has got messier and messier.
When I originally called the police, they [...]
The Department for Transport have released a new survey, the January 2010 survey of “Public attitudes towards climate change and the impact on transport”.
Much of the poll is pretty useless as it asks ridiculous questions. For example, it asked whether respondents agreed with the statement “I would be prepared to change behaviour to limit climate [...]

Lord Lawson said the [...]
Ross McKitrick has had a paper accepted in a good journal which confirms his earlier work that up to half of the warming since 1980 is due to non-climatic processes such as urbanisation, land use change and socio-economic processes.
A pdf of the pre-print is available here.

American researchers have discovered that the amount of water high in the atmosphere is far more influential on world temperatures than previously thought.
The study, published in the journal Science, says a 10 per cent drop in humidity 10 miles above the Earth’s surface explains why global temperatures have been stable since the start of the [...]
The study by a panel of independent experts found that the irritation caused by the noise around wind farms can effect certain individuals.
Scientists dismissed the idea of a “wind turbine syndrome” where the vibrations in the air or the particular sound waves from wind turbines cause headaches, nausea and panic attacks.
However, they did concede that [...]
