CHIEF SCIENTIST WANTED

See here for the advertisement. You have until the end of April to get your application in. I suspect a strong belief in climate alarmism may be required, so sceptics should keep their scepticism to themselves.

EXTREME EVENTS NOT INCREASING

See this article explains that alarmist reports that extreme weather events are on the increase and that this is caused by global warming due to increased CO2 are simply incorrect. There is no discernible increase in these events. (Even if this could be shown to be true, the "global warming so far has been very small, and there is no clear link to CO2)

MIXED MESSAGES ON ENERGY AND CLIMATE

This piece from the excellent Scientific Alliance spells out the problems faced by the UK and EU policies of CO2 emissions reduction while the rest of the world carries on regardless.

EU AVIATION EMISSIONS SCHEME CAUSING TROUBLE

This article in the UK Telegraph highlights the growing opposition to the EU's aviation emissions reduction scheme. Now India has joined China, Russia and the USA in rejecting to take part. It looks as though there is going to be a trade war unless the EU backs down.

"CO2 THE EARTH'S SUPER COOLANT"- NASA

Yes you did read that correctly, CO2 is one of Earth's super coolants which prevents heat pulses from solar ejections from penetrating the atmosphere.

Here is the NASA article which explains it.

AUSSIE STATE ELECTIONS - CARBON TAX PARTY ROUTED

Voters do not like politicians who tell blatant lies, and it looks as though the voters of Queensland have gained revenge by kicking out the ruling Labor Party by a landslide. Read all about it on Jo Nova. Things not looking too good for PM, Julia Gillard's party at the next general election.

EPA LOSES LANDMARK CASE

This article shows that sometimes we little people can take on the over-mighty bureaucracy of the state and win. Congratulations to them.

THE FUTILITY OF CARBON TAXES

Here is another good article in the UK Daily Mail which shows the futility and huge cost of imposing emission taxes on CO2. Of course governments like them as they are massive revenue raisers. Only people power will stop them through the ballot box.

WORLD FUEL SUPPLIES - THE FUTURE

This article by a leading expert paints a rosy picture; on the other hand this article by another expert is rather pessimistic. Just another example of the problem of deciding who to believe. You choose.

THE FATE OF SUBSIDISED WIND FARMS

This article in the Mail shows the fate of subsidised wind farms when the subsidies run out. In the end you can't buck the market. I hope PM, David Cameron is watching.

CLIMATE ESSAY COMPETITION

For a chance to win a cash prize of £8,500 you can enter this competition to write an essay of between 1000 and 2000 words to debunk some environmental alarmist nonsense. The link gives you the details, and good luck.

CLIMATE LESSON FROM CALIFORNIA

This article is from a Californian businessman who expects their climate change legislation to lead to an exodus of businesses from the state which is currently going through an economic downturn. The same problem exists here in theUK.

NUCLEAR - GOOD OR BAD?

 

The arguments are reviewed in this article from the excellent Scientific Alliance. Clearly there are some who are against nuclear power on ideological grounds, whatever the logical case may say.

CLIMATE SENSITIVITY

This article looks at the predictions of climate models since 1990 and the comparison of those predictions with the real data. It makes very interesting reading.

MORE BIG BROTHER POLICIES FROM GREEN PROFESSOR

Here is an interesting post at Haunting the Library blog. In fact its the first post on there since last June - so welcome back! What it highlights is the sheer authoritarian approach of those on the "green left", such as environmental professors. This one wants to control population and the freedom of people to enjoy a lifestyle of their own choice. It is people like this who, if they ever exercised power, would condemn us all to a third world existence - so watch out! 

BIG BROTHER GETS A STEP CLOSER

Here is an article which should disturb all those who cherish our freedom to speak or write our thoughts. Much of the article relates to Australia which many people see as a relaxed place where people's freedom is secure. The plain fact is that authoritarianism is only a short step away. In fact when I read that the Australian press inquiry report suggests controlling any website with more than 41 hits per day, I realised that this blog is under threat as it gets around 200, which is tiny in comparison to the big boys which get many thousands. It seems unbelievable that they could even think of controlling the internet in this way. I doubt whether they would succeed, though even suggesting it is worrying for the future of free speech.

THE POLITICS OF CLIMATE

Here is an excellent article looking at politics of climate change and how the big corporations line up with government and the media. Despite the shaky science it is hard to overturn this massive group, though the cracks are emerging.

CANADIAN SENATOR TALKS COMMON SENSE ON CLIMATE CHANGE

This ought to be a normal state of affairs, but such is the grip of climate change orthodoxy that it is a very rare event indeed for a member of any state parliament to speak about the subject in a sensible practical manner; but that is what happened in the Canadian Senate, as can be seen here Surely any rational person can only applaud the senator for having the courage to make such a speech. Let's hope that others will be prepared to follow her example and speak out.

CONSUMERS ASSOCIATION CALLS FOR CARBON PRICE TO BE SCRAPPED

This article shows how the Consumers Association is now calling on the government to scrap its policy of having a "floor price" for carbon which will drive energy prices even higher.

TREES NOT FOLLOWING COMPUTER MODEL PREDICTIONS

Here is an article which shows that predictions of advancing tree lines towards the Arctic are not progressing as suggested by climate computer models. In fact the advance is far slower and in some places it is not happening at all.Yet another examples of models exaggerating the true picture.

SURFACE TEMPERATURES MAY HAVE BEEN STATIC SINCE 1856

According to this paper the errors in producing the figures for the world temperature anomaly are bigger than the anomaly itself. In other words the figures are meaningless. Now tell that to a climate alarmist and when he says "rubbish" point him to the scientific study at the above link. He won't like it, but he will find it hard to ignore it.

PACIFIC ISLANDS PLAN EVACUATION

You have to congratulate the rulers of Pacific island states on their far-sightedness. Here is a good example. Even though the scientific evidence shows that they have so far been unaffected by sea level rise, these island rulers are preparing to evacuate their citizens. Is this yet more hype in order to increase aid? Anything is possible in this new world of hyperbole!

THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF WIND?

The above title is that of an article by Matt Ridley which highlights the dilemma facing the UK government which has already committed huge amounts of money to the wind farms, and even if they have now seen the error of their ways will find it difficult to extricate itself from committing even more. No government likes to reverse policy for obvious reasons.

CLOSE SCRUTINY OF GHG THEORY

Climate alarm is based on the hypothesis of global warming which relies on greenhouse gas theory. This article examines in detail the science of greenhouse gases (GHG). The scientists examining this came to the conclusion that GHG theory does not make scientific sense. this is a controversial conclusion. What this shows, is that, at the very least, the science is definitely not settled.

AUSSIE DEVELOPER TO SUE OVER SEA LEVEL SCARE-MONGERING

This article from the Australian media explains how a property developer is getting together a 'class action' to sue the local council over its new restrictive rules about building on the coast which are preventing development and putting a blight on coastal property.

CLIMATE WAR - IS IT REALLY ALL OVER FOR ALARMISTS?

According to this piece the writer is saying yes (though using quite a few eloquent words to do so). I personally think this monster is one that will need to be killed several times before it finally lies down.

COSMIC RAYS AND CLIMATE - LATEST RESEARCH

Here is the latest news about research into the effect of cosmic rays on the earth's climate. It is a very interesting new branch of science, showing just how much we have still to learn about the subject, which is just what climate alarmists don't want you to hear. It just shows how meaningless the terms settled consensus are.

CANADIAN UNIVERSITY CLIMATE COURSE "EXPOSED" FOR SCEPTIC LINK

Climate activists have tried to expose a canadian climate course for not adhering to the alarmist viewpoint. This is reported here at WUWT. When reading this report you cannot fail to be struck by the hopeless one-sidedness of the alarmist as opposed to the logical openness of the course provider, Tom Harris. I think that these activists actually do their cause a disservice by showing themselves up as so completely biased. See what you think.

CLIMATE PROPAGANDA IN SCHOOLS - LATEST

This piece in the GWPF highlights a play touring schools in Yorkshire pushing the alarmist message. It is this kind of 'drip feed' that can be very effective at getting a message home, which is exactly why it is so wrong to allow it for unproven and controversial matters like man-made climate alarmism. Well done to MP Philip Davies for trying to do something to stop it.

THE FUNDING IMBALANCE

This piece on the excellent EuReferendum blog highlights the quite vast amounts of money that are being used to to further climate alarmist propaganda. They say that money talks - well it certainly can talk a lot better with these sorts of sums!

EXPERIMENT TO SHOW IF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT WORKS

Here is a link to the details. I recommend the PDF as the phtographs are included and give a much clearer account. This is a most interesting experiment that replicates one first carried out in 1909. So, if you think you know how a real greenhouse works, then have a look, you maye be surprised.
