You didn't need a Cray computer to figure that this was nonsense, that temperatures would have to more or less instantly soar to incredible heights and stay there for this to happen. (As it turns out, 18 degrees Centigrade.) But people wrote it, read it, and believed it. You'd think a magazine with the name Technology Review would know better, yet its latest issue declares: "The Himalayan glaciers that feed rivers in India, China, and other Asian countries could be gone in 25 years."
Barack Obama doesn't much like his nation's traditional allies. Europe gets the back of his hand. Saudi Arabia is dealt the same. He (or one of his inner circle) retells the tale of him confronting Jordanian King Abdullah for bad mouthing the president. And then there's Benjamin Netanyahu, for whom Obama reserves special contempt. The Bibi anecdote Obama chooses to share with Goldberg is unintentionally revealing, a story about interrupting the Israeli prime minister to explain that he knows perfectly well what the dynamics of the Middle East are. Well, OK. But does every discussion with Obama need to end with "I'm the president of the United States"? Apparently, yes.
John Coleman appears in Climate Hustle. He has his very own copy on disc. Do you?

If one looked only at these characteristics, one could easily believe the libertarian-Republican fable. But the two groups are very different when it comes to current politics. Post-Moderns overwhelmingly like Obama and the Democrats; Libertarians don't like him, and vote Republican. The reason is that Post-Moderns agree with the modern Democratic party on a range of matters well beyond social issues.
Also note that the excess ice is located at the exact places where Hansen predicted peak sea ice loss.
The authors simply taken a set of gases (including carbon dioxide) and ascribed an effect: climate forcing. They do not demonstrate a mechanism, or even shown a correlation, between levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and global warming.
The Piedmont Environmental Council is one of the leading opponents. It warns of the "enormous quantities of radioactive waste" produced by uranium mining.
In the words of Grenchik et al ., "this study shows that there is capacity for thermal acclimation during development, with individuals reared from an early age at some temperatures able to modify their physiology to maintain RMRs at near present-day levels," with the result that this developmental thermal acclimation "may assist coral reef fish to cope with increases in water temperature without a substantial loss to performance."

The ANPR also suggests thatan endangerment finding under CAA Sec. 202need not set a precedent forNAAQS regulation of GHGs, because CAA Sec. 108 lists threefactors triggering a NAAQS rulemaking, one of which is that the agency plans to produce an analysis known as an air quality criteria document. Thus, the ANPR opines, all EPA needs to do to avoid setting NAAQS for GHGs is simply not plan to do the requisite analysis.
The result could be a reversal of the weather patterns experienced last year. The northwestern United States could experience an abnormally cold and wet winter, while the South, which was cold and wet last winter, will be hotter and drier. And although the Peruvian fishing industry will profit from the turnaround, the eastern coast of the United States can expect a resurgence in hurricane activity which was nonexistent last year (The Washington Post, June 19, 1998).
This means that even if Congress votes to construct the Keystone XL pipeline, and miraculously overrides President Obama's threatened veto, the pipeline may not be initiated in 2015.

None of these dynamics (save perhaps the state of scientific understanding) are going to change, and I'm against waste, so, I'd argue that it's time to look past mitigation, and explore what adaptation to climate change means.
That is exactly the method used, with a base period of 18601879, by the energy budget study Otto et al. (2013), of which I was a co-author. That study used estimates of radiative forcing that are approximately consistent with estimates from Chapters 7 and 8 of AR5, but since AR5 had not at that time been published the forcings were actually diagnosed from CMIP5 models, with an adjustment being made to reflect satellite-observation-derived estimates of aerosol forcing. However, in a blog-published study, here , I did use the same method but with forcing estimates (satellite-based for aerosols) taken from the second draft of AR5. That study estimated only ECS, based on changes between 18711880 and 20022011, but a TCR estimate of 1.30C is readily derived from information in it.
As wealthy homeowners and businesses owners install solar panels on their homes and commercial buildings, low-income families, living in rented apartments, have to foot skyrocketing electric bills. Many can no longer afford to pay, so the utilities are cutting off their power.
There is no human activity whatsoever that does not generate CO2, and no plant can grow without a generous supply of CO2 in the atmosphere. More than any other substance on earth, production of CO2 measures human prosperity and plant growth.
An agreement merely among the nations represented in Ottawa obviously doesn't involve all nations, and not even such major polluters such as India and China. Those developing countries would exempted from the Kyoto Protocol. The apparent U.S. position at The Hague was weak enough, and any further would damage the U.S. economy, perhaps even send it into recession.

Treaty advocates claim that this provision is merely hortatory. Yet Lawrence Kogan of the Institute for Trade, Standards, and Sustainable Development warns that several provisions create a potential cause of action and could ``be used to commence litigation against the U.S.'' LOST already has generated a suit by Ireland against Great Britain over domestic-source pollution.
For years, climate-change activists have argued by anecdote to make their case. Gore, in his famous slide shows, ties human-caused global warming to increasing hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, drought and the spread of mosquitoes, pine beetles and disease. It's not that Gore is wrong about these things. The problem is that his storm stories have conditioned people to expect an endless worldwide heat wave, when in fact the changes so far are subtle.

So let me declare now that in no way would I want to upset those who have worked for years in the climate Skeptic cause. However we have to admit that we have made scarcely a dent on the public mind on the public conception.
There are other climate establishments in this world, and they havent come to the same conclusions about what causes global warming.
1. Hammer, M. June 27, 2009. Does the US Temperature Record Support Global Warming? http://jennifermarohasy.com/2009/06/how-the-us-temperature-record-is-adjusted/
Recently WUWT published my comparison of several different land-based and satellite-based global surface temperature anomaly (GSTA) datasets (1, and data sets descriptions and references therein). However, my analysis was critiqued for not using the same baseline period for each data set. Namely, HadCRUT4 refers to the official WMO period 1961-1990, while NCDC and GISS instead use the periods 1901-2000 and 1951-1980, respectively, which results in higher positive temperature anomalies for these two estimates. In addition, UAH references to 1981-2010 while RSS output is calculated relative to a 19791998 average.
Only 8 out of around 180 countries have capital cities above this 3200m height, so most of the densest populated areas today would still be habitable with a 30% lower air pressure.

In todays post, Im going to show the Deflategate data from a new perspective. Rather than arguing about whether thePatriots used the Logo gauge, Ive assumed, for the sake of argument, the NFLs conclusion that the Non-Logo gauge was used, but gone further (as they ought to have done). Ive guessed the amount of deflation that would be required to yield the observations. And, instead of only considering the overall average, I plotted each data point and how the guessed deflation would reconcile each data point.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ?statistically significant? warming.

Given these limitations on mitigating carbon emissions, it is important to study how to adapt to climate change. There are myriad possibilities for adaptation, including the obvious, like building dikes in low-lying areas, and planting heat-tolerant crops and trees in cities. Some adaptation will occur naturally. For example, economic incentives will induce people who are setting up new households, businesses and farms to move to areas that are less severely harmed by warming temperatures.
With infrared measurements taken since 1980, it is clear the planet is warming. What is remarkable is that this has occurred without any contribution from automobile traffic, energy power plants or any other activity of man. How do we know this? Because the planet we are talking about isn't Earth, but Neptune. Yes, that's right, according to recently published studies by Colorado's Space Science Institute, Neptune has been getting brighter from 1980 to 2004, and infrared measurements confirm the planet is heating up. Since a similar warming has also occurred on Mars, and solar activity is presumed the culprit, it appears these new findings present yet another new twist to this hot topic of global warming!
This graph below from Bishop Hill shows that it isnt just one paper, but several now that show lower climate sensitivity to a doubling of CO2.
Trucost, a group that advises investors on corporate environmental and social risk, estimates the average price increase for airline tickets will be 2 per cent and will continue to increase as the cost of reducing emissions rises. This will most affect low-income passengers, who tend to be more price sensitive. (The Observer, Mar. 24, Edie, Mar. 24.)
The mainstream media, which has tolerated and even promoted people who call global warming skeptics Nazis and traitors and called for the death penalty for skeptics, now pretends to be outraged by this billboard. We took it down immediately and admitted that it was in poor taste and a mistake, but they continue to promote madmen on the other side of the issue including Michael Mann and Bill McKibben, and hypocritically pound on us for our ethical lapse. This is fake indignation, being staged by ideological extremists as part of the ongoing attack on us and our donors. It is not sincere, it is not accurate, and it is not ethical.
The Meteorological Agency, which has been keeping statistics on typhoons since 1951, said the lowest number 16 was in 1998. The average per year between 1971 and 2000 was 26.7, while the most on record is 39 in 1967.

Such an approach is unwelcome from an economic and political perspective. Making people poorer and imposing austerity is undesirable. It also does not generally work since ordinary people, quite naturally, resist cuts in their living standards. Such an approach will only likely be successful if imposed through authoritarian means.

Scaremongering stories of increased frequency or intensity of hurricanes from CAGW are without observational basis. In addition, climate models project decreased frequency and intensity of hurricanes in the future, due to a decrease in temperature gradients between the tropics and poles.
Figure from paper cited later. If the top trace is correct that is a superb match between insolation (P) and proxy. A lot of reading follows.
But string theory may also be around the corner in the case of some stringy braneworld models, particularly the intersecting braneworlds. In these braneworlds, which are very concrete stringy realizations of the "old large dimensions" paradigm, the Standard Model fields live on stacks of branes, they have the form of open strings whose basic duty is to stay attached to a D-brane. Some string modes (particles) live near the intersections of the D-brane stacks because one of their endpoint is attached to one stack and the other to the other stack and the strings always want to be stringy short, not to carry insanely high energy.
Benefit/cost analysis: It sounds so scientific, so rational, so impartial. So sound as a tool with which to resolve conflicting assertions about the wisdom of regulatory proposals. So divorced from partisanship or ideological influence.
One note of caution. Concerns about global climate change are particularly complex as they touch on climate science, economics, societal response to climate change, and other issues. In order to prepare a guide that is accessible to a general audience, some simplification is inevitable. For this reason, references to the technical literature have been provided in the endnotes for those interested in further study.

Once again (see our Editorial of 11 Dec 2002 ), in spite of all the hype about recent dramatic warming in the permafrost regions of Alaska, real-world data demonstrate - at least for Barrow - that it is no warmer there now than it was half a century ago , and the area's permafrost is in no more danger of being wiped out today that it was in the days of our grandparents . Furthermore, the authors note that degradation of permafrost does not proceed as rapidly as many climate alarmists would have one believe. As they describe it, "degradation of permafrost is a slow process," and "if recent trends continue, it will take several centuries to millennia for permafrost in the present discontinuous zone to disappear completely in the areas where it is actively warming and thawing."

1 The term "greenhouse effect," coined nearly two centuries ago, is scientifically inaccurate. A greenhouse stays warm because the closed windows prevent the inside air from cooling by circulation; the glass does not absorb outgoing infrared radiation.
How can this be right, when the median model TCR is 40% higher than an observationally-based best estimate of 1.3C, and almost half the models have TCRs 50% or more above that? Moreover, the fact that effective model TCRs for warming to 20812100 are the 10%20% higher than their nominal TCRs means that over half the models project future warming on the RCP8.5 scenario that is over 50% higher than what an observational TCR estimate of 1.3C implies.

The UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently released its first major global warming manifesto since 2007. Once again, the IPCC makes dramatic predictions of future warming and catastrophic consequences due to manmade carbon dioxide emissions. Typically, these predictions are reported as proven findings that have the same status as the readings of a thermometer.
This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.
Last year, destruction of CFCs accounted for more than half the CDM credits issued, in a market that will eventually, it is estimated, be worth $17 billion. Of the 1,390 CDM projects so far approved, less than 1 per cent accounts for 36 per cent of the total value.

So some people analyzed this theory in some more detail, using the state-of-the-art computer techniques. No clear signs of a human or glasses or anything like that were found. More devastatingly, the person had to be one meter tall if he were exactly there; or he was several meters tall and flying 5 meters above the Earth's surface at a much more distant place.

Then there were many signs pointing to the possibility that the Earth may be headed for another ice age ( The New York Times , August 14, 1975), moving toward extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciations ( Science , December 10, 1976) and facing continued rapid cooling of the Earth ( Global Ecology , 1971) and the approach of a full-blown 10,000-year ice age ( Science , March 1, 1975).

Perhaps given the chance to avert public eyes from his lackluster results with containing the deteriorating situation in Syria, nuclear talks with Iran, and the Middle East peace process, Secretary of State Kerry has chosen to flaunt his lack of scientific understanding as a needed diversion.
Yet, scientific evidence shows that weather would be less extreme in a warmer world. Peer-reviewed studies on droughts, floods, hurricanes and storms show that 20th Century occurrences have been of equal or lesser severity than similar events in past centuries, when Earth??s climate was in the cooler period of the Little Ice Age. The bulk of science shows that today??s climate is not more volatile as alarmists claim.
To the west, recent acceleration of Greenlands Jacobshaven Glacier is almost certainly related to geologically induced heat flow.
