Updated WMO Consensus Perspective on Tropical Cyclones Fails to Link Hurricanes and AGW

Roger Pielke Jr reports that:
A team of researchers under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization has published a new review paper in Nature Geoscience (PDF) updating consensus perspectives published in 1998 and 2006. The author team includes prominent scientists from either side of the “hurricane wars” of 2005-2006: Thomas R. Knutson, John L. McBride, [...]

Missing ‘Ice Arches’ Contributed to 2007 Arctic Ice Loss

JPL News Release: Missing ‘Ice Arches’ Contributed to 2007 Arctic Ice Loss
February 18, 2010
PASADENA, Calif. – In 2007, the Arctic lost a massive amount of thick, multiyear sea ice, contributing to that year’s record-low extent of Arctic sea ice. A new NASA-led study has found that the record loss that year was due in part [...]

Australia’s Penny Wong is Wrong on the IPCC Linking Catastrophes and Global Warming

Another incisive blog post from Roger Pielke Jr:
In Australia yesterday, Climate Change Minister Penny Wong gave a speech is which she discussed the claims that the IPCC had misrepresented the science of disaster costs and climate change. She stated:
Another claim is that the IPCC exaggerated economic losses from catastrophes attributed to climate change.
The IPCC has [...]

Tax Payer Funded Airborne Government Hypocrites

The Daily Telegraph reports that:
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is in charge of a multimillion advertising campaign telling the country to cut down on carbon intensive activities, such as taking domestic flights.
But last year officials from DECC took just under 1,200 domestic flights, including 26 return flights to Manchester that can be [...]

The Climate Challenge Fund: Government Wastes £8.6m on Green Propaganda

With the Government’s Act on CO2 campaign recently launching a controversial advertising campaign on climate change issues, there is an increased focus on how the Government is engaging with the public over climate change.  Public information campaigns – like that warning people about stroke symptoms – can be legitimate.  But have climate change communications crossed [...]

Graphgate: Another Deliberate IPCC ‘Error’

The UN IPCC has more fiddles than an orchestra. Roger Pielke Jr has uncovered the willful misciting of a graph:
“In short, RMS has now independently confirmed that the IPCC willfully miscited the graph to avoid a publication deadline and admits that the IPCC shouldn’t have included the graph in the first place, because it was [...]

IPCC Underestimated Antarctic Sea Ice Increase by 50%

So, the peer reviewed literature, both extant at the time of the AR4 as well as published since the release of the AR4, shows that there has been a significant increase in the extent of sea ice around Antarctica since the time of the first satellite observations observed in the late 1970s. And yet the [...]

UK Petition to the Prime Minister: Stop Describing Members of the Public Who Question the Veracity of AGW as Climate Change Deniers

“The Prime Minister has chosen to give his full backing and support to the case for Anthropogenic Global Warming. That is his right as an individual and that right is part of the constitution of this country. The Prime Minister does not have the right to insult millions of British people by describing them as [...]

Sea Current Change Melts Greenland Glaciers

Waters from warmer latitudes — or subtropical waters — are reaching Greenland’s glaciers, driving melting and likely triggering an acceleration of ice loss, reports a team of researchers led by Fiamma Straneo, a physical oceanographer from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
“This is the first time we’ve seen waters this warm in any of the [...]
