RSS The United Nations climate panel faces a new challenge with scientists casting doubt on its claim that global temperatures are rising inexorably because of human pollution.
In its last assessment the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the evidence that the world was warming was “unequivocal”.
It warned that greenhouse gases had already heated the world [...]
Despite its assurances, GISS has adjusted the temperature records of two sites at Mackay to reverse a cooling trend in one and increase a warming trend in another. This study presents evidence that this is not supportable and is in fact an instance of manipulation of data.

Phil Jones, the beleaguered British climate scientist at the centre of the leaked emails controversy, is facing fresh claims that he sought to hide problems in key temperature data on which some of his work was based.
A Guardian investigation of thousands of emails and documents apparently hacked from the University of East Anglia’s climatic research [...]
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.

Atmospheric Circulations do not Explain the Temperature-Industrialization Correlation*

Anthony Watts and Joseph D’Aleo have produced a 111 page report on surface temperature trends, available as a pdf here.
The summary is as follows:
1. Instrumental temperature data for the pre-satellite era (1850-1980) have been so widely, systematically, and unidirectionally tampered with that it cannot be credibly asserted there has been any significant “global warming” in [...]
There’s a new paper in Nature suggesting higher sea levels and temperature during the previous interglacial, which, of course, didn’t have man-made CO2 in the atmosphere:
Probabilistic assessment of sea level during the last interglacial stage
Robert E. Kopp, Frederik J. Simons, Jerry X. Mitrovica, Adam C. Maloof & Michael Oppenheimer, doi:10.1038/nature0868
Abstract:
With polar temperatures ~3–5 °C warmer than [...]
THE Met Office was last night facing accusations it cherry-picked climate change figures in a bid to increase evidence of global warming.
UK climatologists “probably tampered with Russian-climate data” to produce a report submitted to world leaders at this week’s Copenhagen summit, it is claimed.
The Met Office’s study, which says the first decade of this century [...]
The BBC and other media report that the past decade has been the warmest in the instrumental record. The past decade has also been one of temperature stagnation despite a 29% increase in man-made CO2 emissions. The recent BBC website article by Paul Hudson entitled: ‘What happened to global warming?’ caused quite a stir amongst [...]
In a statement welcomed by climate change sceptics, the university said it would make all the data accessible as soon as possible, once its Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had negotiated its release from a range of non-publication agreements.
The publication will be carried out in collaboration with the Met Office Hadley Centre. The full data, when [...]
The NCAR Meehl et al study of record highs and lows that cherry-picked the starting year as 1950. Bruce Hall did an analysis and follow-up and Dr. Keen provided evidence from the western parts of the US and Canada. There were links also to Watts Up With That and World Climate Report studies as well. [...]
