UK SOLAR SUBSIDY - "ONE OF THE MOST RIDICULOUS SCHEMES DREAMED UP"

2012-02-03T09:18:00.001Z

That is according to government minister, Lord Marland. See this article in the Telegraph for details. There is still legal action going on to reverse the cut in subsidy which has been declared illegal in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. We now await the verdict of the Supreme Court.

GLOBAL WARMING - A SERIOUS THREAT IN 1947

2012-02-02T10:18:00.000Z

This article from a 1947 paper reports the concerns af a professor about the effect of global warming, and this wasn't the first time concerns have been expressed (see here).

OBAMA STOPS MENTIONING CLIMATE CHANGE

2012-02-01T09:27:00.001Z

This piece in the Washington Post looks at the change in rhetoric of the US President, which seems to refelect the increasing scepticism of the subject. Instead he now talks about sustainable energy and fuel security, while pursuing the same policies.

SPAIN SEES THE LIGHT ON RENEWABLES

2012-01-31T08:50:00.001Z

As the economic woes pile up, the Spanish government is beginning to focus on saving money by cutting back on renewable subsidies. They should be applauded, but when will our own government see sense?

LOOK OUT FOR THE MINI ICE-AGE

2012-01-30T09:08:00.002Z

This piece in the Mail explains that a number of prominent climate scientists are now seriously putting forward the idea that in the next decade or so we will be entering a period of distinctly colder weather; however readers will not be surprised to hear that the UK Met Office disagree. Time will tell as to who is right!

NEW UK SHALE GAS FIND IN NORTH WEST

2012-01-29T08:57:00.001Z

This report gives the details. More game-changing shale gas, who now needs the thousands of expensive ugly wind farms when cheap gas will be available in a few years time?

THE INSIDE TRACK ON GLOBAL ENERGY FORECASTS

2012-01-28T08:48:00.001Z

This piece by the excellent Scientific Alliance summarises the latest energy forecast from BP. It is well worth reading and its main conclusion is that the world will rely mainly on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future.

'SCRAP THE CLIMATE TAX' SAY MPs

2012-01-27T08:28:00.002Z

At last our MPs are waking up to the obvious point that by going further and faster in cutting CO2 emissions by putting in a floor price for emissions we are simply making our industry unable to compete and exporting jobs. here is the story.

LORD LAWSON HAS ALARMISTS RATTLED

2012-01-26T09:03:00.001Z

With his 80th birthday in March, Lord Lawson might easily be sitting at home in his slippers leaving the world's problems to others, but thank goodness he isn't. This article shows what he has to put up with for speaking out. Thanks are due to him for carrying on the fight for the truth.

US WEATHER FORECASTERS TARGETTED BY AGW ACTIVISTS

2012-01-24T09:01:00.002Z

This article on WUWT explains the details of the campaign. I actually think this will rebound against the oranisers of the campaign, first because the majority of the general public will not like to see ordeinary peole being targetted, and second it highlights a 'fact' (according to the campaign organisers) that tha majority of US weather forecasters do not agree with the AGW hypothesis, and that will lead them to ask - why? It also torpedoes the claim that there is a scientific consensus.

MPs FORM A GROUP TO FIGHT WIND FARMS

2012-01-23T23:59:00.001Z

This report in the Express gives the details of how MPs are trying to persuade the government to change its policy on wind farms.

More on this here.

IS THE USA ENTERING A DARK AGE?

2012-01-23T09:26:00.002Z

Reading this article in WUWT you have to wonder about free speech. It is a chilling reminder of the thin line between freedom and tyranny.

THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FIASCO

2012-01-22T08:56:00.001Z

This piece looks at the true situation regarding the attempt to sell electric vehicles to the public in the UK and the USA. For those who think electric vehicles are the future it makes grim reading.

ENVIRONMENTAL NIMBYS STOP OIL PIPELINE

2012-01-21T09:08:00.002Z

This article looks at the roots of environmentalism and finds it to be based on people who having gained an advantage from industry now seek to prevent it expanding near them. This attitude is exemplified by the decision of Obama not to go ahead with the Keystone XL Pipeline which was due to take oil from the Canadian Tar Sands to refineries in Houston. This project would have supplied secure oil for the USA, but has been vetoed for political reasons - to please the environmental lobby who support Obama, and not in the national interest of the USA.

GREEN POLICIES ARE COSTING US DEARLY

2012-01-20T09:18:00.000Z

This article looks at the effect of green policies on the poor, and finds them causing much distress.

GREEN ENERGY PLANS TO COST FAMILIES £400 PER YEAR

2012-01-19T08:51:00.001Z

This article gives the details of a new report which completely contradicts the government's forecasts. Each accuses the other of making serious errors. I know who I believe, it is simply not credible for the country to spend huge amounts of money on inefficient wind farms and yet not increase energy costs.

THE FLAWS IN THE IPCC

2012-01-18T09:29:00.001Z

Here's another piece looking at the shortcomings of the IPCC, this time from a Canadian perspective. The arguments are damning - when will our politicians wake up and smell the coffee?

POLLUTION EATING MOLECULES COUNTERACT GW

2012-01-17T09:15:00.002Z

This article explains this concept is being looked at and found to be more effective than first thought. There is a lot more to climate science than most people realise.

IPCC DECEIT EXPOSED

2012-01-16T09:33:00.002Z

This report is quite long and is written with an Australian perspective, but none the less it is a very readable piece, packed with links. I recommend it for a thorough look at the ways of the IPCC.

LORDS GREEN DEBATE SHOWS LITTLE SCRUTINY

2012-01-15T11:25:00.000Z

This article summarises the debate in the UK House of Lords. It seems that most of their lordships were keen to show off their green credentials. The only dissent came from Lord Turnbull, the former head of the Civil Service (I don't know what Lord Lawson was doing) who reminded his colleagues of the many shortcomings of the AGW hypothesis.

WARMIST SCIENTIST LOSES BET ON GW CONTINUING

2012-01-14T08:52:00.003Z

This piece explains how the scientist made the bet on BBC radio that there would be no warming from 2007 to the end of 2011. He has lost the bet.

Update - James Delingpole notes that the scientist made another bet for the next 4 years.

LETTER TO ALL MPs

2012-01-13T09:13:00.002Z

This letter has been sent to all UK MPs. I hope it encourages some of them to look at this important matter more closely.

If the link remains black just click to enlarge it to 100% and it should open. (mine did!)

EAST AFRICA'S CLIMATE EXPLAINED

2012-01-12T09:14:00.001Z

This article refers to new research which gives an explanation of the severe droughts regularly occurring in East Africa, and it has nothing to do with man!

EU TO FIGHT A TRADE WAR OVER FLIGHTS TAX?

2012-01-11T09:18:00.001Z

This piece by Peter Glover assesses the EU's policy to put new green taxes on flights to or from the EU. Glover sees it as a disaster and predicts they will have to back track to avoid a serious trade war with the likes of China and India.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT DECLARES WAR ON GREEN ACTIVISTS

2012-01-10T19:19:00.000Z

This article gives the detail. It seems that the Canadian government is determined that their tar sands oil will be used despite the many well-funded green groups doing all they can to scupper the project. When reading this you can see how green activists are a serious threat to the prosperity of the West.

CO2 NEEDED TO PREVENT NEXT ICE AGE - NEW STUDY SAYS

2012-01-09T09:04:00.001Z

This article explains how CO2 is needed to stave off the next ice age, according to a new study.

FINANCIAL MADNESS LINK TO CLIMATE MADNESS

2012-01-08T08:41:00.001Z

here's an interesting piece which looks at the similarities between the conditions that led to financial meltdowns in Iceland, Greece and Ireland and the conditions that exist in the 'climate science community'. In both cases the author shows how wrong decisions are taken because people ignore crucial evidence. What both show is that once a bandwagon is rolling it is almost impossible to stop.

CANADIAN SENATE HEARS SCEPTIC CASE ON GW

2012-01-07T08:52:00.001Z

This article from WUWT has a link to the hearing. It is 2 hours long, but if you have the time it gives an interesting look at what goes on at such things. I found it interesting that several of the Senators were quite open-minded, or even of a sceptical nature. The scientists were trying to put a scientific case to unscientific politicians, and some succeeded better than others. It is time we did something similar here in the UK.

UK DASH FOR UCG

2012-01-06T08:52:00.005Z

We have looked at shale gas several times in recent months, but here's another new technology that could keep our energy costs down, if only the government would realise that reducing CO2 emissions is now unnecessary. This one is called Underground Coal Gasification. The link is to a Channel 4 News article from Jan 4. In it you will see that already 18 licenses have been granted by the government to set up UCG plants. There is an interview after the film with two scientists - one working in the new technology and the other a committed climate alarmist. Despite the first scientist claiming that he was working to capture all the CO2 emitted, the alarmist still wanted the technology stopped as he feared it would be used in India and China without CO2 capture. He claimed that we would have global warming of 5 or 6 degrees C (though I can't recall when by!)

What we never hear is any scientist saying that emitting CO2 is no longer a problem. That would be a step too far, even though many of them think it and say so privately.

MANN'S HOCKEY STICK DEMOLISHED BY LEAKED EMAIL

2012-01-05T08:46:00.002Z

This article highlights one of the newly leaked emails from the East Anglia Climate Research Unit. It is from an expert in dendrochronology, in other words tree-rings. He basically says that the temperature reconstruction made by Michael Mann and others is complete nonsense.

'LET'S PRETEND THAT SHALE GAS DOESN'T EXIST'

2012-01-04T09:30:00.001Z

That seems to be at the heart of the government's chief advisor's new energy pathway tool, according to this report. The dark art of spin and propaganda are taken to new heights in the attempt at making us all believe that there is no extra cost in reducing our CO2 emissions by 80%, but I still doubt that the public will believe it as their bills go on rising year on year.

COLD WINTER CAUSES OZONE HOLE OVER THE ARCTIC

2012-01-03T09:27:00.001Z

This report refers to the dramatic loss of ozone over the Arctic during the very cold 2010/2011 winter.

DOES BACK-RADIATION EXIST?

2012-01-02T09:07:00.003Z

This article gives a very interesting discussion of this fundamental point. This author does not believe in the back-radiation theory.

Further reading below for those with time.
- http://www.tech-know.eu/uploads/IRabsW05122011.pdf argues that it does not. This article - http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/EnergyBalance/page5.php says it does.

CRU EMAILS - WHO DUNNIT?

2012-01-01T08:43:00.000Z

The intriguing question of who leaked the CRU emails is the subject of this article which puts a plausible case that it was an inside job.

OCEAN ACIDIFICATION FEAR EXPOSED

2011-12-31T08:54:00.001Z

This article shows how coral and CO2 can exist quite happily side by side. So that's another scare we can safely ignore.

THE FORGOTTEN HEAT SOURCE

2011-12-30T09:02:00.001Z

The following link - http://iceagenow.com/Underwater_volcanoes_Bake_Sediments-Add_to_Warming.htm looks at heat from beneath the earth's crust which the IPCC has chosen to ignore when drawing up a global energy budget. See page 10 of this pdf http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cas/papers/KiehlTrenbBAMS97.pdf for the diagram.

RELAX, WE'RE NOT DOOMED AFTER ALL

2011-12-29T09:05:00.001Z

Apocalyptic reports recently in the press have suggested that GW is causing a melting of the permafrost in Siberia leading to vast outgassing of methane causing a runaway warming; however this article may reassure you that there is no need to panic. Just relax and enjoy the festive season.

2011 NOT A WARM YEAR

2011-12-28T09:15:00.001Z

In fact 2011 is not in the top 10, according to this GWPF report. The warming just isn't happening and the warmists just cannot explain it, except by saying that they never said every year would be warmer than the last one - but they never said we would not see any warming trend for 12 years either.

EU CAR MAKERS FACE AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE

2011-12-27T09:22:00.002Z

This report explains the system of fines for motor manufacturers if they fail to meet the strict new emission controls on new vehicles. No doubt we will all be paying the extra costs for these unnecessary stringent conditions.

WHAT CONNECTS THE EU AND CLIMATE CHANGE?

2011-12-26T09:25:00.001Z

This essay shows the connection brilliantly. Two of the most expensive and futile political causes in history debunked.

EPA GIVES AMERICANS AN EXPENSIVE PRESENT

2011-12-25T09:13:00.001Z

This piece explains how new restrictions on mercury emissions will drive up the price of electricity without actually lowering the level of mercury in the atmosphere. Merry Christmas!

CLIMATE FRAUD REVEALED

2011-12-24T08:53:00.001Z

This article shows how we are being manipulated and deceived by those who we should be able to trust. As each breach of trust is revealed we become more cynical, until in the end we cannot trust anyone in the media.

THE TROUBLE WITH BIOFUELS BY MATT RIDLEY

2011-12-23T09:19:00.001Z

This essay by Matt Ridley gives the arguments why biofuels are not the answer to cutting CO2 emissions. As he explains far from solving the perceived problem of global warming they do not do so and actually cause several other problems such as drive up food prices as well as actually increasing CO2 in the short term.

"GREENHOUSE GASES COOL THE EARTH"

2011-12-22T08:29:00.002Z

That is according to this paper - http://omsriram.com/Greenhouse_Gases_Cool_Earth.pdf which refutes the very basis of greenhouse theory. While I go along with much of what they say, such as that water in the form of clouds can have a cooling effect; I did not see in the paper any mention of the fact that both CO2 and H20 absorb infra-red radiation, which even most sceptic acientists accept does lead to increased heat retention. However this is still an interesting contribution with many truths in it.

MONCKTON TO REPORT CLIMATEGATE SCIENTISTS FOR FRAUD

2011-12-21T09:19:00.001Z

This article by Christopher Monckton explains his reason for preparing a report for the police based on the revelations in the leaked emails. I doubt whether the police will be keen to act, but on the basis that if you don't ask you don't get, it is surely worth having a go.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ICE SHEETS

2011-12-20T08:45:00.001Z

This article by Prof Ian Plimer shows that the ice sheets do not conform to any script dreamed up by computer models. The truth is much more complex.

IS THIS THE FUTURE OF ENERGY?

2011-12-19T09:06:00.001Z

This clip shows a marvellous piece of lecturing.

AN EXPERT VIEW OF OUR ENERGY FUTURE

2011-12-18T09:09:00.002Z

This article on the Royal Academy of Energy website looks at a sensible energy policy, as opposed to the government's obsession with wind farms as the only way forward.

HOW CHINA CONNED THE WEST ON GW

2011-12-17T08:33:00.000Z

This report highlights the problem of China keeping out of any current emission cuts, while expecting the West to commit to more severe cuts.

CANADA QUITS KYOTO

2011-12-16T09:27:00.001Z

This report looks at the reason for the Canadian government's decision and the effect of it on the future agreements.

IPCC SEA LEVEL FORECASTS ARE WAY OUT

2011-12-15T08:32:00.002Z

The problem with the IPCC forecasting sea level rise is that other organisations, such as those tasked with coastal protection, use these forecasts to make long term plans. We are now finding that these IPCC predictions are proving to be exaggerated. See this article to see how reality trumps computer models yet again.

SO WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN DURBAN?

2011-12-14T08:41:00.003Z

This report makes interesting, if rather disturbing, reading. What it says is that there is a lot more going no behind the scenes than is reported in the media, and that governments would like their voters to know. It is also going to cost us all a great deal of money.

More on the Durban climate conference here and here

NO NEARER TO UNDERSTANDING THE CLIMATE

2011-12-13T09:04:00.001Z

This report by the Scientific Alliance shows that scientists still disagree about the precise cause of warming, which confirms that no real consensus actually exists.

SCOTTISH CLIMATE POLICIES TO COST £11 BILLION

2011-12-12T09:28:00.001Z

The cost of Scottish climate policies is set to reach £11 billion according to this report in the Daily Express. No doubt the Scottish people will be grateful to Alex Salmond for his efforts.

HERE'S WHY THE CLIMATE BONDOOGLE WON'T END

2011-12-11T09:02:00.001Z

This report from the excellent Canadian journalist Donna Laframboise, who I had the pleasure to meet at a one-day conference at Westminster on her recent visit to Britain. She has uncovered the collaboration going on between our climate scientists and our activist organisations and politicians - all in it together.

ARCTIC WAS VIRTUALLY ICE-FREE IN 1922

2011-12-10T08:54:00.001Z

Here is an interesting article to put before those such as David Attenborough who claim that today's Arctic warming is unprecedented.

HERE'S ONE WAY TO GET MORE ENERGY FROM A WIND TURBINE

2011-12-09T14:29:00.001Z

BBC BETRAYAL ON CLIMATE - A NEW REPORT

2011-12-08T14:22:00.000Z

This article in the Daily Mail sets out the evidence, which all those who see the BBC's climate change output are well aware of. It came to a head with the recent showing of the last episode of David Attenborough's accalimed series Frozen Planet. Sadly, those who saw it will have seen a one-sided look at the evidence for a catastrophic warming of the planet with no mention of any evidence that contradicts the so-called 'consensus' narrative. One small example was the melting of sea ice where no reference was made to the fact that this will have no effect on sea level - something that many viewers will be unaware. No mention either of the fact that the Antarctic has been gaining ice in recent years, leaving the total mass of ice on our planet more or less unchanged. No mention of the fact that the Arctic has in the recent past had several periods when it has warmed and lost ice, only to revert to regain it again. I fear Mr Attenborough has bowed to pressure and resorted to propaganda instead of balance. What a shame.

GOVERNMENT PLANS TO BAN PETROL & DIESEL VEHICLES

2011-12-08T08:58:00.001Z

This article in the Express sets out Mr Huhne's vision, though I note that no date has been given. No doubt it will be way beyond the next election, but the fact that he has mentioned it at all is a warning to us all.

CAUGHT HIDING THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH

2011-12-07T09:03:00.002Z

This article explains how the NSW authorities decided to pull the plug on the work of their scientists working on sea-level, when the results showed that sea-level was only rising at one tenth of the rate given by the IPCC.

MARKET FUEL PRICES FALL AS FUEL POVERTY GOES UP

2011-12-06T09:18:00.000Z

This article in the Mail explains that the increasing in fuel bills is driving more and more people into fuel poverty, and yet at the same time the wholesale price of gas is going down to a 12 month low.

AUSSIES BATTLE CARBON TRADING SCHEME

2011-12-05T09:30:00.000Z

Here is an advertisement by those in Australia opposed to the carbon trading scheme being put forward by the current government.

RENEWABLES WILL BANKRUPT SCOTLAND - LETTER

2011-12-04T08:43:00.001Z

This letter from the former leader of Scottish power looks at the weakness of relying on renewables.

ONLY 3% OF CO2 RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE IS MAN MADE

2011-12-03T08:57:00.001Z

Many people are unaware of the very small proportion of CO2 emitted by mankind. To prove that this is a well-founded claim here is the proof from none other than the IPCC itself ( I know, they can't be trusted!)but if you are trying to convince a warmist it should be good enough. When you look at the diagram in the link you can add up all the amounts in the 'up' arrows (all amounts are in gigatons), the total is 215. The fact that the UK emits less than 2% of this 3% and you are getting to some pretty small amounts. As Michael Cain might have said "not a lot of people know that."

LORD LAWSON COMMENTS ON DAVID ATTENBOROUGH'S TV PROGRAMME

2011-12-02T09:13:00.001Z

Lord Lawson has replied to the assertion being made by David Attenborough that human CO2 emissions are causing the Arctic ice to melt. He could have added to his remarks the important point that melting of the Arctic ice is not unusual. See this article for example.

RADIO INTERVIEW WITH JO NOVA IN OZ

2011-12-01T09:29:00.001Z

The climate debate is still going on in Australia and here is a link to a radio interview with Joanne Nova, a prominent Australian blogger. When do we get this sort of coverage here in the UK?

CLIMATE CONFERENCE STARTS IN DISARRAY

2011-11-30T09:11:00.002Z

This report in the Telegraph gives an overview of the negotiating positions of the major nations and the EU. It looks unlikely that any progress will be made.

PORRITT AND DAVID KING DEBATE ON TODAY PROG.

2011-11-29T16:55:00.001Z

This clip will be available for 7 days. In it you can hear Jonathan Porritt and Sir David King debate the merits of voluntary emission cuts versus binding commitments like the Kyoto Protocol. It was an interesting exchange, if only for the fact that there is such disagreement among the alarmists as to what is effective, but of course neither of them would actually admit the obvious point, which is that no individual nations can make a difference to world-wide emissions without a world-wide commitment from every major industrial nation, and that looks highly unlikely.

EU TO GET TOUGH IN DURBAN CLIMATE TALKS

2011-11-29T09:29:00.001Z

This article explains the new negotiating stance in which the Eu is set to demand that other nations agree to a road map before they commit themselves to further cuts. At last some realism. I hope they stick to it.

BBC EXPOSED AS BIASED ON CLIMATE CHANGE

2011-11-28T11:30:00.000Z

Release of climate emails has exposed the BBC's lack of impartiality in the climate change debate as this report in the Mail shows.

WHAT DID WIPE OUT THE DINOSAURS AND MUCH ELSE?

2011-11-27T09:10:00.001Z

This mystery can never be solved absolutely, but this article by Matt Ridley updates us on the latest evidence.

GLOBAL WARMING FORECASTS EXAGGERATED - NEW REPORT

2011-11-26T10:34:00.000Z

This report gives the details of new scientific studies pointing to a lower sensitivity of the climate.

GREEN TAXES TO RISE EVERY YEAR SAYS HUHNE

2011-11-25T09:11:00.001Z

This report in the Mail looks at the government policy. As the reality starts to bite I would not bet at this policy being dropped as 2015 and a general election gets nearer.

CLIMATEGATE RETURNS

2011-11-24T08:43:00.004Z

This piece by James Delingpole looks at the latest release of emails by climate scientists by a well-meaning whistleblower. They reveal the truth of what these scientists are thinking. I will be surprised if they get a mention on the main TV news.

DECEIT AND INCOMPETENCE AT THE HEART OF THE IPCC

2011-11-23T09:20:00.000Z

Here is astonishing evidence of the political nature of the IPCC, and it is all in the IPCC report itself.

BBC CLIMATE 'EXPERT' IN FUNDING CONTROVERSY

2011-11-22T09:52:00.001Z

This article in the Mail-on-Sunday looks at the details of how Roger Harrabin accepted payments from a climate alarmist pressure group which was used to fund seminars at the BBC. The article also mentions other clear conflicts of interest at the BBC in respect of programmes on climate change where substantial funding comes from similar groups. Clearly money buys influence and many, if not all big businesses are in on it.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH CALLS WIND FARMS "USELESS"

2011-11-21T09:37:00.001Z

This article in the Telegraph records a conversation between the Duke and an executive of a wind farm company. If only our politicians woukld be as forthright!

INSURANCE INDUSTRY AT THE HEART OF CLIMATE FEAR

2011-11-20T09:27:00.001Z

The insurance industry has a vested interest in exaggerating the extent of climate change in order to justify hiking up premiums, so it is no surprise to read this article which confirms it. They are not alone,of course, as there are many others hoping to make a good profit out of the scsre.

69% BELIEVE CLIMATE SCIENCE HAS BEEN FALSIFIED

2011-11-19T09:04:00.001Z

DON'T MENTION THE AUSSIE CARBON TAX

2011-11-18T09:27:00.001Z

This article explains how the Australian Government are trying to prevent businesses using the carbon tax as an excuse for price rises.

UK ALUMINIUM PLANT TO CLOSE

2011-11-17T09:05:00.002Z

Here we see the result of the cost of CO2 emission reduction policies on industry - plants closing, jobs lost. We are trying to get our economy on track with one hand tied behind our back. I hope the government are taking note.

NEW LEAKED IPCC REPORT LESS CERTAIN ABOUT CLIMATE

2011-11-16T08:59:00.001Z

This BBC report looks at the leaked draft IPCC report. It seems to be rowing back on the dire predictions circulated in recent times. Perhaps the message about not crying "wolf" is starting to get home.

NO WORLD CLIMATE DEAL UNTIL 2020

2011-11-15T08:49:00.001Z

This article reveals the thinking of UK Climate Minister, Greg Barker. Clearly he believes that climate change is being pushed into the long grass, and by that time it may be forgotten altogether.

BLAIR'S GAFF COULD TRIPLE ELECTRICITY PRICES

2011-11-14T08:35:00.001Z

According to The BBC's Panorama programme a foolish decision by the former PM to agree that we should sign up to produce 20% of our energy from renewables could lead to a tripling of our electricity bills by 2020.

WE'RE ALL DOOMED (AGAIN) IN 5 YEARS

2011-11-13T08:42:00.001Z

This Guardian piece repeats the "we're all doomed" mantra, just in time for the latest world climate conference. We used to have a man with a sandwich board with the slogan "The end of the world is nigh", now its climate alarmists in newspapers. The effect is the same - the world goes on and the message is ignored. Religious nutters or climate change nutters, we regard them as all the same.

THE EVIL GREEN CHARITIES

James Delingpole's article sums up brilliantly the way alarmist charities are using desperate propaganda to try to keep their bandwaggon rolling.

ALARMIST CLIMATE PREDICTIONS SHOWN TO BE WIDE OF THE MARK

2011-11-11T09:27:00.001Z

This article shows an alarmist prediction made in 2007 relating to armageddon in 2012. It illustrates just how foolish some alarmists can be.

CHINA BLACKMAILS THE WORLD OVER CLIMATE EMISSIONS

2011-11-10T08:54:00.001Z

"Give us the money, or we'll release our climate-warming gases", is what the Chinese seem to be saying, according to this report. What should our response be? I say we should tell them we won't pay them anything and if they go ahead we will stop all aid to China - but I am not too confident our leaders will take that line. We will wait and see.

CLIMATE CONFERENCE LIKELY TO FAIL TO AGREE

2011-11-09T09:11:00.001Z

This BBC report into the intractible problems to be overcome at the upcoming international climate conference in South Africa. With a bit of luck they will reach no agreement at all and we can get on with our lives, emitting whatever CO2 we like. However all the taxes will remain in place for ever.

DITCH WIND FARMS AND STILL REACH EMISSIONS TARGET

2011-11-08T08:44:00.001Z

This piece refers to a report from KPMG which says that we can still reach the 2020 emissions target without building very expensive wind turbines and save 30 or 40 billion pounds. It seems so obvious and so simple and yet the government don't seem to get it. Gas and nuclear will do the job.

A LOOK AT REAL TEMPERATURE DATA

2011-11-07T08:33:00.001Z

This article looks at a number of long temperature records, including that of Central England, which is over 400 years, and compares them with the records of the IPCC and the Climate Research Unit. It is a lengthy but readable piece and it reveals a temperature that has remained stubbornly stable overall with a small steady rise, though with considerable variation within. This article should be compulsory reading for all those interested in the subject.

A CLOSER LOOK AT SURFACE TEMP. RECORDS

2011-11-06T08:32:00.001Z

This article makes fascinating reading. A scientist has looked at temperature data taken at regular times throughout the day and his analysis shows that the warming is mainly at certain times of the day,leading to some very interesting conclusions for global warming. It is amazing that no one has looked at this before.

SCIENTISTS LOOKING FOR REASONS FOR LACK OF WARMING

2011-11-05T08:56:00.001Z

This article discusses the problem of the lack of warming over thE past decade and the attempts of scientists, trying to keep the CO2 hypothesis on track. There is no doubt that if the planet continues to fail to warm serious questions will need answers, or else the CO2 hypothesis will come to a dead end

"ECOCIDE" THE NEW CHARGE AGAINST NATIONS

2011-11-04T09:29:00.001Z

This website shows what the green extremists want to see on the World legal statute. Nice work for the legal profession - huge costs for the rest of us/

IPCC STUFFED WITH ACTIVISTS AND IGNORES EXPERTS

2011-11-03T08:43:00.001Z

This may seem a crazy headline, but it is not far from the truth according to this book review by Matt Ridley in the Australian. He is reviewing a book by Donna Laframboise who has throughly researched the working of the IPCC. I think she deserves all success for such mind-numbing work.

CURRENT CO2 THEORY TURNED ON ITS HEAD

2011-11-02T09:30:00.002Z

New data from a Japanese satellite seems to turn existing ideas upside down according to this article which appears to show that the third world emits more CO2 than the developed nations.

The link does not appear to work now, so just to show I did really see it here is another link with more information on it.

SHALE GAS COULD SAVE THE UK

2011-11-01T08:57:00.001Z

This article explains how. Is it the miracle that saves us from climate alarmism as well as financial ruin?

MORE LIES DECEIT AND PROPAGANDA FROM ALARMISTS

2011-10-31T08:47:00.001Z

This article in the Mail on Sunday reveals how a new report has been distorted by a press release from its main author in order to try to show that the world is continuing to warm. The reality is that for the past 12 years no warming has been evident from the record. This was made clear by the report's second author. This is yet another example of an alarmist hype in a desparate attempt to keep the alarmist bandwaggon on the tracks.
