“Hide The Decline II” Released in Response to Mann’s Lawyers

The No Cap and Trade Coalition is now hosting a new version of the ‘Hide the Decline’ video. Instead of focusing just on Mann the new video presents a generic scientist that represents all scientists embroiled in the Climategate controversy. The coalition has developed a white paper entitled, “Dr. Michael Mann: Defamed or Defined by [...]

Where is the Missing Heat in the Climate System?

The above figure is taken from the Science perspectives paper by Trenberth and Fasullo entitled ‘Tracking Earth’s Energy’ The summary reads: By measuring the net radiative incoming and outgoing energy at the top of Earth’s atmosphere, it is possible to determine how much energy remains in the Earth system. But where exactly does the energy [...]

‘Mystic’ Met Office Strikes Again: Models Get Volcanic Ash Cloud Wrong

The Met Office has been blamed for triggering the “unnecessary” six-day closure of British airspace which has cost airlines, passengers and the economy more than £1.5 billion. The government agency was accused of using a scientific model based on “probability” rather than fact to forecast the spread of the volcanic ash cloud that made Europe [...]

Judith Curry on Oxburgh

Climate scientist Judith Curry has commented on the Oxburgh CRU inquiry and the IPCC over at Roger Pielke Jr’s blog: The primary frustration with these investigations is that they are dancing around the principal issue that people care about: the IPCC and its implications for policy. Focusing only on CRU activities (which was the charge [...]

New Report Reveals Impact on Jobs of Climate Change Policies that Push Up Energy Prices

Ruth Lea – a leading economist who recently spoke at the TPA’s post-Budget briefing – and Jeremy Nicholson – Director of the Energy Intensive Users’ Group – have released a new report for Civitas about the impact of climate change policies on industrial employment.   The report makes a number of very important points. First, climate [...]

Are Cold Winters in Europe Associated with Low Solar Activity?

Lockwood et al have published a paper entitled: ‘Are cold winters in Europe associated with low solar activity?’ in Environmental Research Letters here. The Abstract states: Solar activity during the current sunspot minimum has fallen to levels unknown since the start of the 20th century. The Maunder minimum (about 1650–1700) was a prolonged episode of [...]

‘F’ For 21 of IPCC AR4′s 44 Chapters

21 of 44 chapters in the United Nations’ Nobel-winning climate bible earned an F on a report card we are releasing today. Forty citizen auditors from 12 countries examined 18,531 sources cited in the report – finding 5,587 to be not peer-reviewed.

Climategate Whitewash Number 2

The Global Warming Policy Foundation regrets that the Oxburgh Panel has been rushed and therefore extremely superficial. The body of the report is hardly five pages long. The Panel should have taken more time to arrive at more balanced and more trustworthy conclusions as there was no need to rush the inquiry. The Panel worked [...]

Arctic Sea Ice Maximum Extent Latest Since Satellite Records Began

Arctic sea ice reached its maximum extent for the year on March 31 at 15.25 million square kilometers (5.89 million square miles). This was the latest date for the maximum Arctic sea ice extent since the start of the satellite record in 1979. Early in March, Arctic sea ice appeared to reach a maximum extent. [...]

Early Earth Faint Sun Paradox: Greenhouse Gases Not Involved

Early Earth stayed warm because its ocean absorbed more sunlight; greenhouse gases were not involved, Stanford researchers say Researchers have long wondered why water on Earth was not frozen during the early days of the planet, when the sun emanated only 70 to 75 percent as much energy as it does today. Some theorize that [...]
