A bus company's efforts to cut global warming emissions have led to services being disrupted by cold weather. First Eastern Counties Buses, which runs services in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, said bio-diesel had turned waxy in sub-zero temperatures. The thicker consistency of the diesel meant fuel lines became blocked. The company said it had suspended use of the bio-diesel, and was refuelling buses with ultra low-sulphur diesel which is not temperature sensitive.
Muller was never a sceptic, and there are plenty of rusted on believers who have problems with both Manns hockey stick and AIT , which is nothing more than a propaganda film. Mullers subsequent evidence-free claim of attribution to human causes has led to widespread ridicule from within the warmist community.
AccuWeather.com: Global Warming News, Science, Myths, Articles 2. The very thin blue area (lowering sea height) off the U.S. East Coast could be due to a decadal change in the average latitude or velocity of the Gulf Stream current.
If Sandy had been a category 3 hurricane like its 1938 ancestor, the devastation would have been of biblical proportions as winds, waves and surges slammed into expensive homes, businesses and high-rises, and roared up waterways rendered progressively narrower by hundreds of construction projects.
The EUs legislation means all airlines operating in EU airports must have their CO2 emissions regulated.
For the hindcast period of 1861 to 2005, the model mean of the outgoing longwave radiation declines at a rate of about -0.1 watts/m^2/decade. The model with the slowest decline during the hindcast has a trend of about -0.02 watts/m^2/decade, while the model with the fastest decline from 1861-2005 has a trend of about -0.17 watts/m^2/decade. That is, theres a spread of about 0.15 watts/m^2/decade during the hindcast.
In a sense President Obama's State of the Union remarks are right. The Climate Change debate is over because there never was one. How do you debate whether the sun rises from the East in the morning. And we can leave our children's children a safer, more stable world with abundant energy suppliesdevelop our vast resources of inexpensive fossil fuelscoal, oil, and natural gas. Abandoning these resources by substituting renewable energy sourcesthat are uneconomical, unreliable, and difficult to produce vast energy amountsleaves our children's children a bankrupt nation unable to exert strength on global affairs.
In eight months, the Obama administration has given a clearer indication of its policy outlook; the Canadian and Mexican governments, in power longer, have done the same. Yet, we might call these "unilateral" policy agendas since coordination among the three countries has been sparse.
The analysis relies totally on the accuracy of path width and length data. While this may now be reasonably accurate, past data is highly suspect.
If you install the panels yourself, you'll get the "Fits" for yourself as well as the reduced energy bills: note that, nuts as it may sound to the average tax payer, you get paid for all the electricity you produce even if you use it yourself.
Subsidies are extremely generous and guarantee investors an almost 10 per cent annual return for 20 years. Given such an unparalleled offer, it is not surprising that more than a million families already have installed solar panels. This solar boom, however, has saddled the country with obligations of more than ?130bn in subsidies, leading to ever increasing energy prices.
From the University of California Riverside , and the department of sulfurous odors, comes this it must be carbon dioxide moment:
Let me seize this brief gap in the aerial bombardment to pose a question that is bugging me. Why did the Met Office forecast a "mild winter"?
James Hansen, a fully-paid-up member of the new regime, has notoriously called for anyone who disagrees with the new superstition to be put on trial for ?high crimes against humanity?. Now, crimes against humanity are punishable by death, as Saddam Hussein discoveredt. So what Hansen is asking for is the judicial murder of those of his fellow-citizens who disagree with him ? one of the unfailing hallmarks of Nazism and Fascism everywhere.
GDP, with all it's shortcomings, is at least useful for showing the development of the GDP/Tax pressure ratio, over time, and in comparison with other countries. Adding new, rather shaky variables seems like little more than inventing another tool for the politicians to polish their statistics.
First, pessimism about growth often increases in times of economic difficulty. Many conclude that anemic growth, and certainly economic contraction, shows that natural limits constrain rising prosperity. The recent financial crisis and consequent economic downturn have certainly strengthened the forces of austerity.
Designing Global Climate Policy: Efficient Markets versus Political Markets
When Heritage evaluated the FUND and DICE models it was clear that the resulting SCC estimates were very sensitive to the choice of discount rates and equilibrium climate sensitivity.
Genuine scientific inquiry has brought us the wonders of modern medicine, the green revolution in agriculture, the internet, and countless enhancements of the human condition in all its aspects. We can't allow the global warmerstruly the flat-earthers of the late 20th centuryto steal that precious inheritance. Scientists and researchers really dedicated to their mission should rise up in protest against global warming hysteria, saving science from the dead hand of politics and restoring it to its proper place in the pantheon of human achievement.

Nor is it ethical or sensible for President Obama to ask Saudi Arabia to send us more oil, rather than telling his energy and environment regulators to foster more production here at home.
According to Entine, the last year has seen a realization among many in the media that the case against GMOs is without merit. The European Union is moving toward allowing more of the technology, and even India will soon allow GMO trials. The New Yorker recently ran an article that was critical of anti-GMO crusader Vandana Shiva, and even Mother Jones's series of articles dealing with the safety of GMO foods did not find much to worry about. Entine references a recent article in an Italian science journal, compiling some 1,783 studies done in the last decade about biotechnology. Researchers found "little to no evidence" that GM crops have a negative environmental impact on their surroundings.

It is tempting to play the crusader, to make some moral, if futile stand in defense of our current thermostat setting. But we must be realistic. There is little hope of creating an enforceable global carbon constraint, and without the existence of such a regime, there is little point in surrendering our national economy to green adventures.
India is planning a massive increase in clean coal power capacity, as it struggles to meet growing demand for power.
Those people in the 1940s defending their perverse Nazi ideals. Their heirs in 2011 are only protecting their dirty profits and the anti-human propaganda that makes them possible. I urge all people who have some power to look into this business, to investigate, and if the reports are confirmed, do everything they can to execute the people driving and benefiting from this carbon-neutral genocide.
"The cost of destroying the personal data collected under the ill-starred programme will be a mere 400,000, Home Office minister Damian Green revealed yesterday."
Oil Spills, Gas and other Leaks & Consequences
But here comes our favorite set of conclusions. Mackay writes Diatom census data and reconstructions of snow accumulation suggest that changes in the influence of the Siberian High in the Lake Baikal region started as early as c. 1750 AD, with a shift from taxa that bloom during autumn overturn to assemblages that exhibit net growth in spring (after ice break-up). The data here mirror instrumental climate records from Fennoscandia for example, which also show over the last 250 years positive temperature trends and increasing early summer Siberian temperature reconstructions. Warming in the Lake Baikal region commenced before rapid increases in greenhouse gases, and at least initially, is therefore a response to other forcing factors such as insolation changes during this period of the most recent millennial cycle.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, global warming was the Left's last, best chance to redistribute wealth for a supposedly greater cause. When global warming, too, collapses, will they go gently into that good night?

John Christy of the University of Alabama at Huntsville, who with his colleague Roy Spencer compiles the satellite temperature record, commented that Santer's "model shows that increasing tropopause heights are due in good measure to human factors for 1979-99. However, the real world shows a huge tropospheric temperature spike due to the 1997-98 El Nino which then tilts the tropopause height trend upward. So what causes the height increase in the model and in the data are likely two different causes."
It is estimated that the average Briton produces around 8.6 tons of carbon dioxide a year, while the average Indian produces just over one ton.
In conclusion, three factors seem to be playing a role in the range changes of nesting Elegant Terns. (i) The success of conservation measures in the terns nesting grounds both in Mexico and California has allowed an increased population growth of the species, and the exponential increase in the Isla Rasa colony in particular seems to be pushing reproductive pairs onto new nesting grounds in California. (ii) Superimposed on this systematic and continuous expansion, there is a pulse-like variation in local SST conditions in the Midriff, which seems to drive nesting pairs to emigrate toward California when surface seawater in the Midriff is too warm , the thermocline is too deep, and fish availability is poor. (iii) The decision by seabirds to abandon their traditional nesting grounds in the Midriff is compounded by the fishing effort during the previous season, which further increases the proportion of Elegant Terns migrating away from the Gulf of California.
The OIC, it will be remembered, was created by Saudi Arabia in 1969 as a weapon against the Egypt-led Arab League in the ongoing Arab Cold Wars. In recent years, under the leadership of the OIC, the UN has turned into UN-istan:
Apparently not. At least, not yet. There was no sign of renunciation of Gingrich's belief in climate change on his campaign website.
During the past few weeks, a series of articles in the press have implied that Willie Soon, a well-known global-warming skeptic, had violated ethical standards by failing to disclose information about research funding.
If you actually go to Mann et al 2005 to see how it supposedly supports the claims here, youll not find much that actually supports any of the claims. The context is a "tame network" like the one that I discussed in connection with the VZ pseudoproxies a little while ago. Like VZ erik167, they constructed pseudoproxies from gridcells information from a GCM mixed with equal amounts of white noise a "tame" network. Most of the article is about "CPS" methods i.e. averaging scaled versions of the series. If you know that the proxies all have equal amounts of white noise, this system works pretty well and is probably as good as you can get. Heres the description of their setup in Mann et al 2005:

17h. The ability of regional climate models to model sea level rise for the next 50 years
The frequency of tornadoes in the US is approaching a record low in 2014, after setting new record lows in both 2013 and 2012.
The people of the United States need to understand that the production of fossil fuels is a manufacturing process. Production of 1,000 tons of coal, 330 barrels of oil, or 6 million cubic feet of natural gas is the same as producing a $30,000 car, 7,000 bushels of corn, or 15,000 two-dollar hamburgers. Millions of high paying jobs are created, billions of tax and royalty payments are paid, and security and safety will increase for all our citizens.
So what enormous benefits would this non-impacting regulatory check on climate change actually serve? According to McCarthy, local governments would avoid tens of billions of dollars in damage from floods and other severe-weather events, while farmers would save up to $11 billion a year in damage from a combination of drought, flooding, and destructive storms.
Ladies & Gentleman, mankind is in danger. The threat is real. Unless we, gathered here together resolve to take action there will be real and dire consequences. Never before in my lifetime has the danger been so real, so close, so palpable. The threat, however, is not from man-made global warming, but from man-made hysteria. Yesterday, some 10,000 delegates representing over 180 nations flew into this lovely city for the start of the United Nations conference on Climate Change. They represent the greatest threat to the health, safety, and standard of living for all mankind since the fall of twentienth century totalitarianism.
Feldstein, who serves on Obama's economic advisory board, has also "warned of serious inflation and higher taxes down the road" as a result of Obama's policies.
Taylor Comment on "Understanding Conservative Religious Resistance to Climate Science"
I would like to contact Dr. Scheckman directly. His characterization of Drs. Happer and Chou is hardly accurate. My last collaboration with Dr. Chou was over 7 years ago, and he has had no connection with the present research. Dr. Happer, although not a climate scientist (as, for example, is also the case with Anderson), is deeply involved in general spectroscopic issues. Four of the suggested reviewers are well known proponents of global warming alarm, and I don?t think it likely that they would provide a fair assessment. An alternative reviewer with a long and neutral record in this field is Albert Arking (of Johns Hopkins) who would be far more suitable. Of those mentioned by Scheckman, Ramanathan is the most likely to be fair.
A remarkable piece of advice when one considers that Edenhofers boss, Schellnhuber, had claimed earlier that the Himalayan glacier melt by 2035 was certainty.
Temperatures in Greenland reach their annual maximum this week. The rapid melting at -12C threatens all coastal cities particularly the ones wherewomen, transgender and poor people live.
There are people who just need a cause thats bigger than themselves, said Happer. Then they can feel virtuous and say other people are not virtuous.
A major part of the expansion into wind will be at offshore sites that are comparatively costly to build and maintain, compared with onshore sites and many other energy sources.
It is believed that Australia has joined Japan, Canada and Russia in wanting changes to a proposed agreement that says greenhouse cuts should be informed by advice that the developed world needs to cut emissions by 25-40 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020.

What further complicates the situation, is that scientists like all people, come to opposing conclusions. In the case of politics, choosing the right scientists affects the outcome far more than actually committing fraud. Fraud is not the keystone of a good conspiracy, subtleties of choice are.
Moreover, an average global temperature can only be diagnosed; it cannot be directly measured. The approach has been to sample air temperatures across the globe in order to construct a global average surface temperature trend. However, there is a major problem with the use of the sampling of surface air temperature trends as is discussed below, for example, for nighttime minimum temperatures over land (which are used as part of the construction of the global average trend).
Expanding domestic U.S. oil and gas production and exports would aid EU workers and families, while also improving America's gross domestic product, balance of trade, national security, job growth, and prestige. Contrary to what some have argued, American consumers would also benefit, because exports would help stabilize global supplies and prices, keep OPEC and Russian price hikers at bay, and make the United States less reliant on imports and less vulnerable to supply disruptions.
In May 2012, I did a quick calculation incorporating more recent Hantemirov data, showing that the resulting modern portion was remarkably similar (TM-climate science) to the green chronology of my September 2009 and had an almost identical discrepancy to the Briffa et al superstick.
Studies show that even areas that have previously been degraded or completely deforested can have their biodiversity restored. And according to de Miranda, they can even more importantly attain a "new agricultural transformation to recover their biological and production potential."
Frequency Of 90 Degree Days Plummeting In The US Midwest
Also, it is silly to pretend that Cullen is simply asking for meteorologists to receive additional scientific training. Instead of citing a climatology textbook, she says, "One good resource if you don't have a lot of time is the Pew Center's Climate Change 101." The Pew Center is an advocacy organization that lists toward alarm and energy rationing. Virginia State Climatologist Patrick Michaels is an outstanding expert, but would he pass a politically-correct test on global warming? Only if he suppressed his real views.
4. North Dakota Building Boom. The number of building permits issued for single-family homes in North Dakota skyrocketed in May to 818, establishing a new record monthly high that was more than 57% above the previous record of 510 permits issued in April 2013, see chart above.

BBC News: "Show Your Working': What "ClimateGate' means
Fracking is going on under my own home, my whole town, and much of my home state. We're surrounded by thousands of fracked oil and gas wells, and my family and I drink the water every day. If I thought it was unsafe I would not be living on top of it.
I've now had a change to review the S&TSC; report into Climategate, which is pretty much as expected. Here are a few thoughts.
This is not science; this is not data; this is not research. It is fraud, nothing more, nothing less transparent, obvious fraud.
The scientists found the years from 800 to 1300, known as the Medieval Warm Period, had the most frequent fires in the 3,000 years studied. Other research has found that the period from 800 to 1300 was warm and dry.

Unilaterally cutting U.S. emissions would be pointless and would handicap negotiators in any effort to reach an agreement with developing economies like China and India.

This value falls within the uncertainty range of the Leob et al 2012 study. However, we are 13 years since the end of the 20th century, so Jim Hansens value for the imbalance must be larger (~0.95 Watts per meter squared from GISS?).
The IPCC says it will "probably" issue a formal correction. "Probably?"
If energy-poor nations are serious about safeguarding their future development, they should reject "voluntary commitments" and not give faint-hearted Kyoto foes in the U.S. any excuse to switch sides. By the same token, congressional and business opponents of Kyoto should stress the vital importance of energy abundance to human welfare, and applaud, or at least refrain from criticizing, developing countries that correctly view poverty (not climate change) as the greatest threat to their people's safety and survival.
But if anything, the spill should demonstrate the need both to reduce our dependence on oil and to focus yet again on environmental policy. Of course, Congress needs to get to the bottom of the causes of the spill, including whether Norway's requirement of acoustic valves on offshore equipment should be required here. But it also needs a redoubled focus on climate change and a willingness to turn to natural gas as a more environmentally safe choice for our energy as a way to reduce our consumption of and dependence on oil.

For the Earth, the issue with equation 12.1 is how to interpret Te and n. There is no simple way to deconvolute the gaseous greenhouse effect from the radiative emission from clouds.Postmas proposed model doesnt help at all with the Earth, because of the complex coupling between the radiation and dynamics. Which is why a dynamicalclimate model with interactive radiative transfer, water vapor and clouds is needed to get insights much beyondEquation 12.1. Which is what climate scientists have been doing for several decades.
Because of the effect of high (beta) error, careful scientists rarely interpret failed to reject as confirming a hypothesis that has not been supported by very large amounts of historical data and sound theory with very few approximation or assumptions. While the theory of AGW is well supported, it is not clear to me that the specific quantitative predictions by the IPCC are, by extension, supported with equal strength.
Those basic guidelines are patently ignored today, as countless examples demonstrate beyond doubt.
As the data referred to for this review has obviously been assembled, why has it not been made available?
Fact : we already know how to teleport single ions of calcium and beryllium .
The Great Game at sea is too complex to be examined in detail here. Suffice it to say that if in terms of transportation, the true identity of the players takes forever to sort out (the nationalities of the owner, the crew, the flag, the cargo), there is a clear trend in the nationalization of oil companies when it comes to production: "The percentage of the world's oil reserves held by publicly traded international oil companies (IOCs) has declined, while the percentage held by state-owned national oil companies (NOCs) has increased. Currently, 72 percent of the world's proven oil reserves are held by NOC's ."27
So only two out of the six divisions have recorded an increase, and only one of these is more than the 0.4F announced by NOAA for the whole of Virginia.
