Climategate: Un-Hiding the Decline

Steve McIntyre writes on the Climate Audit mirror site: For the very first time, the Climategate Letters “archived” the deleted portion of the Briffa MXD reconstruction of “Hide the Decline” fame – see here. Gavin Schmidt claimed that the decline had been “hidden in plain sight” (see here. ). This isn’t true. The post-1960 data [...]

Climategate: Social Graph of IPCC ‘Power Group’ Emails

This social graph of CRU emails shows how miniscule is this IPCC “power group” if you ponder how many active climatologists there must be globally. Sent in by The Iconoclast. The software counts the To and CC lines but does not count the emedded emails, many of which are duplicates. The 300kb graphic is over [...]

UK Climate Minister: “I am not a scientist”

So, what was this country to make of a visiting climate change minister from Britain who was just 39 and who wasn’t even a scientist? This point clearly intrigued the audience listening to Ed Miliband on Monday morning at Peking University. After he delivered a speech on climate change, Mr Miliband was twice asked about [...]

A Cherry-Picker’s Guide to Temperature Trends

Chip Knappenberger has an excellent post over a MasterResource showing how recent global temperature data can be cherry-picked to show cooling, non-warming, or even warming.  He concludes: “I am often asked as to what is the “right” answer is. What I can say for certain, is that the recent behaviour of global temperatures demonstrates that [...]

Warming Caused by Soot, Not CO2

A new paper in Science reports that a careful study of satellite data show the assumed cooling effect of aerosols in the atmosphere to be significantly less than previously estimated. Unfortunately, the assumed greater cooling has been used in climate models for years. In such models, the global-mean warming is determined by the balance of [...]

Crops Under Stress as Temperatures Fall

Our politicians haven’t noticed that the problem may be that the world is not warming but cooling, observes Christopher Booker. Telegraph.co.uk: ‘Crops under stress as temperatures fall’

Great Barrier Reef Coral Calcification Alarmism Debunked

Steve McIntyre has an interesting post over at Climate Audit entitled: “Unprecedented” in the past 153 Years

Pielke Sr on Jones et al 2008 Playing Down 1C Urban Warming per Century over China

A new paper has appeared which provides further discussion of an issue (urban effects), as well as the existing bais,  with respect to the accurate calculation of multi-decadal global surface temperature trends (and thanks to ICECAP and Warwick Hughes for alerting us to the paper).  The article is  Jones, P. D., D. H. Lister, and [...]

More Evidence of a Warm Bias in the Surface Temperature Record

Ren et al, Journal of Climate, Volume 21, Issue 6 (March 2008), Article: pp. 1333–1348: Urbanization Effects on Observed Surface Air Temperature Trends in North China The Abstract states: A dataset of 282 meteorological stations including all of the ordinary and national basic/reference surface stations of north China is used to analyze the urbanization effect [...]

Florida: It’s Hot But Don’t Blame Global Warming

Roger Pielke Sr has featured an interesting article from ‘Florida Trend’ magazine on his climate science weblog entitled: ‘It’s Hot But Don’t Blame Global Warming’ Some Florida cities are getting hotter, but the evolution has more to do with bulldozers and pavement than global warming. The article features Florida State University emeritus professor Morton D. [...]
