2012: 6 companies controlled 90% of the media consumed by Americans
The global warming of this century is exactly in phase with the normal climatic pattern of cyclic warming and cooling and we have now switched from a warm phase to a cool phase right at the predicted time (see graph below).
Whaling crews in this Arctic coast village store six feet of tail skin, blubber and bone underground from spring until fall. The tail freezes slowly while fermenting and taking on the flavor of the earth.
It started in December 1911 and continued into late February 1912. February and March continued the unrelenting freeze. Both months were unusually cold, and March was the coldest on record for many states in the Midwest and Northeast. Parts of North Dakota saw their coldest March readings to date. Some cities saw their coldest weather that winter since the Little Ice Age. 1912 itself was a very cold year.
Favoring hospitals and nursing homes tends to favor health-care providersincluding 1199 membersover patients. The goal of health-care policy should be to make people healthier, but the high price tag of New York's health-care system has never correlated with its performance. New York ranks 19th in the nation in the quality of care, according to the Commonwealth Fund, though it spends more on a per-capita basis than any other state.
The federal government is redoubling its efforts to reduce the uncertainties in our understanding of the global climate and develop a science-based policy, but with each new chapter in this debate it becomes increasingly clear that politicsfrom all sideswill continue to obscure the facts that should be driving the debate. (That, of course, is the lesson of the administration's handling of the EPA report: At the end of the day, although the report presented compelling evidence that environmental quality is improving in America, media accounts focused almost exclusively on the controversy over the climate change section, largely ignoring the substantive findings of the report.)
And to make your cruise even more enjoyable, you only have traverse several thousand miles of ice, with Arctic ice extent the highest it has been in a decade
Guadalajara looks to be something of an agenda-setting exercise with the new U. S. president. However, pre-summit discussions suggest several indicators of the road ahead. First, given the interconnections among the three North American economies, the leaders hope to coordinate national stimulus efforts so that they don't work at cross-purposes. This means addressing Canadian and Mexican concerns over "Buy American" provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that the Obama administration thought were fixed. Energy was another mutual concern: The U. S. has committed to "clean energy dialogues" with both Canada and Mexico, and it makes sense to bring these two dialogues together to share research and ideas and leverage public investment in this area.
A second part of their problem involved a paper by Soon and Baliunas titled Proxy climatic and environmental changes of the past 1,000 years (Climate Research, 23, 89110) that detailed worldwide evidence of existence of the MWP. The personal attacks on Soon and Baliunas are now exposed, particularly the role of John Holdren when at Harvard.
Almost everyone can see that more money offers not only more material things but greater opportunities: the ability to pursue another educational course for themselves or someone in their family, the chance to travel abroad, or the possibility of taking an extended break from work. Even committed greens are amazingly adept at demanding resources for personal travel or their organizations.
As far as England & Wales are concerned, there is nothing in the data which provides evidence that The increases in days of heavy rain and the greatest annual 5-days precipitation amounts suggest a tendency for an increasing likelihood for extreme heavy rainfall events . Even winter months show no such trend, as I showed in an earlier post here .
As the amount of CO 2 in the atmosphere continues to rise, soybean plants will likely exhibit enhanced rates of photosynthesis, which will lead to greater synthesis of starch and other carbohydrates for supporting increased growth and development. In addition, if the atmospheric ozone level continues to rise, the rising CO 2 content of the air will likely protect soybeans and other crops from the adverse effects of ozone that reduce productivity, growth, and yield.
This plot shows data from the Climax, Colorado neutron monitor operated by the University of Chicago. The cosmic rays show an inverse relationship to the sunspot cycle because Suns magnetic field is stronger during sunspot maximum and shields the Earth from cosmic rays.
activity over the last century give a CO2 initiated warming of 0.2 C and a solar influence of 0.54 C over this period, corresponding to a CO2 climate sensitivity of 0.6 C (doubling of CO2) and a solar sensitivity of 0.5 C (0.1 % increase of the solar constant).
Unfortunately, many media representatives have been unable to depart from their long-loved climate catastrophe. Catastrophes are interesting for readers, viewers and audiences, and they boost ratings and circulation. How on earth would the otherwise empty pages and radio shows be filled if the catastrophe disappeared? As we have been able to show in numerous analyses of recent media reports on the topicof climate at this blog, media reporting is often one-sided, tends to be and is even at times plainly false.
According to the UN figures, measuring factories, power stations and the like, New Zealand supplies about 1.1% of human emissions; when you include forestry, farming and land use changes, we supply only about 0.3% of human emissions. By either measure, our contribution to alleged dangerous man-made global warming is minuscule.
"Environmental pressure groups have also claimed that ANWR contains very little oil and natural gas," continued Ebell. "The U. S Geological Survey's best estimate is 10.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil. That is equivalent to about 30 years of imports from Saudi Arabia, one of our major foreign suppliers. And if the experience of Prudhoe Bay is any guide, there could be much more oil under the coastal plain. The USGS estimated 7 billion barrels at Prudhoe Bay. They have now pumped 13 billion barrels and are still pumping."
Models get cloud feedback wrong, but *only* by 70W/m2 (thats 19 times larger than the CO2 effect)
Daprile was beginning of 1997, when the coming to power of the feared political opponent, the Labor Anthony Charles Lynton "Tony" Blair, was celebrated by the pro-conservative British newspaper The Daily Telegraph with a cartoon of the award-winning cartoonist Matt, with a child He asked his astonished parents: Pope, but because 'Tony Blair allows machine comes in earthquakes?
Tomorrow, the House Foreign Affairs Committee will hold a hearing on the national security threats from melting Arctic ice. Greenwire (subscription required), the Online environmental news service, explains the rationale for the hearing:
They find that when their proposed natural radiative warming effect of El Nino is included, the climate sensitivity to CO2 is reduced substantially to 1.3 deg. C. This is below the IPCC estimate of 1.5 deg. C to 4.5 deg. C.
Putin's gift to America's energy independence
Does this tattling make any sense? This is the climate fervor. Sense has nothing to do with it. The tattling is sleaze over sense, and soap opera over substance. But lets burrow into the internal logic of it, anyway, without implying any external coherence.
The Daily Caller discusses with Myron Ebell the outcome of the approaching United Nations' global warming summit in Paris.
how to make "clever" use of new technologies to deepen direct ties with what the U.N. calls "civil society," meaning novel ways to bypass its member nation states and deal directly with constituencies that support U.N. agendas.

Some environmental elitists may say: Let them use solar panels. But the moral imperative of the 21st century is to liberate the master resource of energy from the politics of these reactionary enemies of democratizing progress, prosperity, and quality of life.
Estimates are that there are 8-12 million illegal immigrants in the US (Brewer's hispano-phobic allies would put the number much higher). They are mostly all drug dealers and criminals? Really?
The George Marshall Institute's report Climate Change Science: A Review of the Draft Climate Change Science Program Strategic Plan was designed to provide insights into and recommendations for the U.S. climate science programs.
Global Warming Why Carbon Dioxide Plays No Role
Working-class Americans share classic American beliefs very strongly. They value economic growth because they believe they personally benefit from it. Unlike Continental Europeans, working-class voters do not envy the rich. They believe that Bill Gates has earned his billions, and while they do not believe they can become billionaires, they believe their children can.
There are studies with different conclusions. Perhaps the most famous is the Seralini study, which purported to show that Roundup, the herbicide used with genetically modified crops, causes tumors in rats. First published in 2012, it was withdrawn later by the journal where it appeared, after near unanimous opprobrium from the scientific community. It recently re-appeared in an "open access" journal, but the authors had done nothing to correct the errors in the original study.
You'll do more than pay lip service to saving the planet with your purchase of Lip Action. One dollar of each $3.49 sale of Kiss My Face's Lip Action line of lip balms supports the Alliance for Climate Protection , founded by Nobel Peace Prize-winner Al Gore. With eco-aware names like Berry Warm and Glacial Mint, the SPF 15 balms shield against the blast of UV rays while aloe and cocoa butter help smooth and soothe. kissmyface.com
It is disingenuous to now use the climate scientists as a new population sample size. The response figure of 3,146 is the figure against which the 75 out of 77 should be compared and in this case we get not 97% but just 2.38%.
I downloaded three lots of data raw, GCHNv3 and GISS Homogenised (GISS H), then replicated Mearns method of calculating temperature anomalies. Using 5 year moving averages, in C hart 1 I have mapped the trends in the three data sets.
Rising demand in China and India will push coal past oil as the two Asian powerhouses will need to rely on the comparatively cheaper fuel to power their economies. Coal demand in the United States, Europe and the rest of Asia will hold steady.
Another real-world observation that casts doubt on the Wilson theory actually comes from an island, Puerto Rico, where according to Lugo, human activity reduced the area of primary forest by 99%. "But because of extensive use of coffee shade trees in the coffee region and secondary forests, forest cover was never less than 10 to 15% in an analysis of bird fauna, concluded that seven bird species (four of them endemic) became extinct after 500 years of human pressure and that exotic species enlarged the species pool. In the 1980's, more birds were present on the island (97 species) than were present in pre-Columbian times (60 species) Secondary forests in Puerto Rico have served as refugia for primary forest tree species as well." (Lugo, "Biodiversity," p.66)
"Global warming could cause dramatically hotter summers and a depleted snow pack in California, leading to a sharp increase in heat-related deaths and jeopardizing the water supply, according to a study released Monday .
After a comprehensive examination of the peer-reviewed literature, the author concludes that there is a tendentious use of evidence by the IPCC, revealing "a systematic tendency of the climate establishment to engage in a variety of stylized rhetorical techniques that seem to oversell what is actually known about climate change while concealing fundamental uncertainties and open questions regarding many of the key processes involved in climate change" (1).
Most research on the effects of ocean acidification are flawed according to a Nature article. But we still believe the evidence? From Nature, Crucial ocean-acidification models come up short
Fred Baileys studies refute the fundamental assumption that the solar energy received on earth is sensibly constant and has no influence on variations in the earths climate. The opposite is true. It is the dominant cause of these variations.
Despite the cold winter this year, the trend to milder and wetter winters is expected to continue, with snow and frost becoming less of a feature in the future. The famously cold winter of 1962/63 is now expected to occur about once every 1,000 years or more, compared with approximately every 100 to 200 years before 1850. Peter Stott, Climate Scientist at the Met Office, 25 February 2009
Entitled Orbital forcing of tree-ring data, the new study was published in the journal Nature Climate Change . View that article here:
Since 1812, the CO2 concentration in northern hemispheric air has fluctuated exhibiting three high level maxima around 1825, 1857 and 1942 the latter showing more than 400 ppm.
CNBC's Santelli rants about NY Times and other critics of congressional Constitution reading:
In the context of climate change, our level of information about where specific harms will manifest is far, far lower than 70%, and our understanding of whether our mitigation efforts will negate any particular harm is virtually nil. Clearly, the focus on greenhouse gas mitigation, both domestically and internationally, has been misplaced, and the money and attention of world leaders toward greenhouse gas mitigation efforts would be best directed elsewhere.
We could not read every one, but tried to cover the most relevant topics such
?We?re heading toward what occurred around the year 1800. It was called the Dalton Minimum of low sunspot activities,? he explained. ?We certainly are down to that in number of sunspots this year. That means the cooling will continue at least until 2030 and yet the government is preparing for warming, which is outrageous. Some people think that this cycle of sunspot activity and global cooling will take us down to as cold as it was around 1680, which was the nadir of the Little Ice Age.?
I can see weather each day, but Smithsonian scientists seem to have the unique ability to see climate change. I like the Smithsonian when it sticks to its purpose as a natural history museum. But, with the government dumping billions into climate change and each element of the government coming up with its own climate agenda, what can you expect? You expand climate change outside just science and get on with the propaganda.
CEI Expert Available to Comment: Senior Fellow Marlo Lewis on what Al Gore said about global warming and tornados in An Inconvenient Truth:
Finally, a vestigial government-funded program actually worth cutting gets taken out as Denmarks new regime change is opting to excise Bjorn Lomborgs $1.6 million in funding for his Copenhagen Consensus Center. Its been very strange that particular researchers have received special treatment due to ideology. Were going to run fiscal policy differently, said Ida Auken from the Socialist Peoples Party. -Laurel Whitney, Desmog, 28 September 2011
Even assuming it were true that Alar slightly increased cancer risk in laboratory rats no small assumption given the well-known limitations of laboratory animal studies in determining human cancer risk a human would have to consume 19,000 quarts of apple juice per day for life to get the same dose of Alar as the rats.
Note: Writing in Nature Senevirnate (2012) argues with respect to global trends that, there is no necessary correlation between temperature changes and long-term drought variations, which should warn us against using any simplifications regarding their relationship.23
Ben Rhodes, a National Security Adviser in the Obama administration, bragged recently about the lies officials told to support a major foreign policy decisionthe nuclear agreement with Iran. That agreement permits Iran to possess nuclear weapons in about ten years. Rhodes publicly admitted that the Obama administration claimed that the new Iranian government was a moderating influence despite the fact that experts at the Central Intelligence Agency warned that the new government in Iran was not moderate. According to Rhodes, that false claim was critical for getting the deal approved by Congress. He and his colleagues suffered no consequence for having lied.

In a 2013 law review, I argue that environmental special interests have captured environmental policymaking during the Obama administration. Consider the Natural Resources Defense Council and the EPA. Green groups often are thought to be the David against industry's Goliath, but that's not true anymore. Far from being the "little guy,' NRDC has annual revenues of $130 million and assets greater than $300 million, according to its most recent tax filings.
V.I. Lenin basically viewed all capitalists as rent seekers. Capitalists are so fixated on short-term gain, he mused, that they will "sell the rope" by which their enemies will hang them. This much is clear -- there is no honor among thieves. The more businesses depend on political predation, the easier it is for anti-market interventionists to divide and conquer.
Under normal circumstances, you could expect that those people will at least try to lie to their readers and pretend that they're impartial and un-corrupt and that they could a priori reach conclusions of either sign; they could a priori agree or disagree with others. But the likes of Mr Boslough haven't even tried to pretend such a thing. The idea that they should try to be impartial, at least for a while, sounds so utterly extraterrestrial to them that they haven't even considered such an option.
Yet Hansen's not even close to being an objective scientist. He is openly ideological and rabidly partisan. His political pals and financial patrons are liberal Democrats -- Gore, John Kerry and left-wing groups funded by George Soros and Teresa Heinz.

Oil prices rising a week after SPR release:
You can see the Stevenson screen is surrounded by astronomical science, such as the historic Dominion Observatory and the Carter Observatory to the west (off screen). But from a climate science perspective, it is also surrounded by asphalt, with a car park to the east. According to the Google Earth measurement tool, vehicles are parked within 6 meters of the Stevenson Screen.
The new koda Superb, an upper-class model, is increasingly reliably beating its proper German brother, Volkswagen Passat. In the U.K., the "advantage koda" has been obvious for years. But even in other countries, koda's victory became pretty much the rule. Two days ago, the Dutch Autoweek declared Superb as the winner, too. Most commenters agree. It's larger, better in many respects, still cheaper, and it seems to look better. The Passat is too bland in comparison. And all these "simply clever" gadgets in koda, automatic this and that, two umbrellas just like in a Rolls-Royce, seatbelts for dogs , and 100s of others.
As the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Climate Change observed years ago, researchers attempting to construct long-term (centuries to millennia) temperature records should "finish the dance" with the (proxy) data they started with.
I have no particular comment to make about the model itself. WUWT has covered this issue well already.
Now, amid the Christmas and New Year holiday, two million homes, schools and hospitals face fuel rationing. Some families could wait weeks before they can get their fuel oil tanks refilled, as more snow falls across Great Britain.

Veteran meteorologist and Weather Channel founder John Coleman has been following Hurricane Matthew and has a message for environmentalists linking the storm to global warming.
For those of you who either missed that report, or may have since forgotten about it, you can find it here , as an issue refresher, in hopes that our readers may gain some insight into the types of information that was not included in the ACIA report. For those who are interested in additional examples of scientific oversight in the ACIA report, please see our previous WCR on this topic .
Page said on CNBC that the U.S. biofuel mandate needs to be addressed through existing policy tools. Otherwise, the spike in U.S. corn and soybean prices to record highs will ration demand in ways that will hurt food production too much.
Mauna Loa does not represent the typical atmospheric CO2 on different global locations but is typical only for this volcano at a maritime location in about 4000 m altitude at that latitude.
The GHE is supposed to increase lapse rates, but Earths lapse rate (6.5K/km) is lower than predicted (9.8K/km), so the greenhouse theory is wrong.
In speaking about Cap and Trade, Monckton warned how any measure to curtail global warming would result in abject failure. Monckton then listed three current approaches that are doomed to failure because they would have no effect on climate change: Kerry-Lieberman Bill, EPA regulations, and an attempt to push a new treaty at Cancun to replace the failed Copenhagen one.

PG&E;, Exelon, and Duke preen themselves as progressive companies who put principle (planetary rescue) ahead of profit. In reality, they seek political rents at the expense of the public interest in limited government, economic growth, and affordable energy. Waxman-Markey sets aside the biggest chunk of free emission permits -- 35% -- for electric utilities. And their industry representative, the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), is lobbying the Senate to increase the booty to 40%.
This observation is just another example of the fact that great portions of the world, including most of the Arctic, most of the Antarctic and much of North America, are no warmer now than they were some 50 to 70 years ago .
Mr Chu, I don't know what the second and third expert will tell you about your situation but I am telling you that you should try to medically treat your warmophobia, otherwise it can lead to serious problem for you and your country, whose secretary of energy you are going to become, in a couple of years. Many people with milder anxiety disorders - such as claustrophobia - are being medically treated, too.
