India’s environment minister, having faced accusations of practicing “voodoo science” (by UN IPCC Head Pachauri), has been vindicated with the Nobel Prize-winning United Nations climate body’s prediction that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035 being exposed as inaccurate speculation. After suffering blows from the “Climategate” scandal and the tumultuous and essentially failed Copenhagen climate [...]
Bishop Hill reports that Hans von Storch is disputing the authenticity of quotes attributed to him in a Nature article by Quirin Schiermeier. The article includes another shoddy attempt to dismiss the leaked UEA CRU emails as ‘taken out of context’ (how, for example, can the overt knobbling of the peer review process be taken [...]
Climate Depot: Yet Another Mistake For UN IPCC!? Claims About Extinction ‘confusing’ – IPCC Scientists ‘acknowledge there was inconsistency and flawed writing’ in extinction section. ‘In the Summary for Policy Makers of the report on climate impacts, there are different summations of extinction risk within a few pages’ Roger Pielke Jr’s Blog: More Laundered Literature [...]
CNN: U.N. climate chiefs apologize for glacier error The Guardian: Claims Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035 were false, says UN scientist (CRN note to the global warming industry’s Bob Ward – doubts about the IPCC reports aren’t based on ‘one error’ but on the entire IPCC process) Seattle Times: UN climate report riddled with [...]
Copenhagen deal falters as just 20 countries of 192 sign up to declare their global warming strategies. The UN has dropped the 31 January deadline by which time all countries were expected to officially state their emission reduction targets or list the actions they planned to take to counter climate change. Yvo de Boer, UN [...]
Australia’s peak science agency, the CSIRO, has backed away from attributing a decade of drought in Tasmania to climate change, claiming ”the jury is still out” on the science. The comments follow the issuing of a CSIRO report yesterday, revealing drought has cut water availability in northern Tasmania’s premier wine growing region by 24 per [...]
UPTON, NY – Planet Earth has warmed much less than expected during the industrial era based on current best estimates of Earth’s “climate sensitivity”—the amount of global temperature increase expected in response to a given rise in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2). In a study to be published in the Journal of Climate, a [...]
Republican Scott Brown has won a shock victory in the race for the US Senate seat in Massachusetts left vacant by Democrat Edward Kennedy’s death. The Republican win has robbed the Democrats of their filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the Senate. The BBC’s Paul Adams, in Boston, says Ms Coakley’s defeat is a humiliating blow for [...]
NEW DELHI: India’s senior-most glaciologist V K Raina today said the chief of the UN climate body should apologise to the scientist fraternity for dubbing their work on melting of Himalayan glaciers as “voodoo science”.

Ten Conservative election candidates were sent on a green “re-education” (Brainwashing?) day by Steve Hilton, the Tories’ head of strategy. The move came amid evidence that party leader David Cameron’s enthusiasm for a climate-change agenda is not shared by many Conservatives. The scientific event last week in Whitehall, organised by a think-tank called Green Alliance, [...]
