Surface Temperature Records: Policy Driven Deception?

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 [...]

Sea Levels and Temperature in the Previous Interglacial

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 [...]

Russians Accuse Met Office of Cherry-Picking Weather Station Data

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 [...]

Copenhagen Climate Hype – ‘Warmest Decade on Record’

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 [...]

Climategate: UEA’s U-Turn on Data Release, but Data Prior to 1980 Destroyed

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, [...]

No Warming in USA/Canada and New Zealand for a Century?

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. [...]

Climategate: Pielke Sr on Email Documentation on Suppression of Biases and Uncertainties in Surface Temperature Trends

The release of the e-mails from Phil Jones further confirmed the attempts to suppress viewpoints of climate change issues, which conflict with the IPCC viewpoint. The issues of the conflict of interest illustrated by the sample of e-mails from Phil Jones, as well as the above e-mails from Tom Karl, illustrate the extent that this [...]

Global Warming Data ‘Lost’

Imagine if there were no reliable records of global surface temperature. Raucous policy debates such as cap-and-trade would have no scientific basis, Al Gore would at this point be little more than a historical footnote, and President Obama would not be spending this U.N. session talking up a (likely unattainable) international climate deal in Copenhagen [...]

Empirical Analysis of the Solar Contribution to Global Mean Air Surface Temperature Change

Nicola Scafetta has a new paper in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics: ‘Empirical analysis of the solar contribution to global mean air surface temperature change’ (doi:10.1016/j.jastp.2009.07.007) The Abstract states: The solar contribution to global mean air surface temperature change is analyzed by using an empirical bi-scale climate model characterized by both fast and [...]
