CRU PROMISE TO PUBLISH DATA IN FULL

As a direct result of the pressure from the Climategate fallout, the UK's Climate Research Unit has now promised to publish its temperature data in full. This may be a bit difficult however, if they were teling the truth when they earlier claimed that they had destroyed much of it.

HAS BOOKER BEEN NOBBLED ON THE INTERNET?

There is something very strange about the way today's Christopher Booker column is being treated by the search engines as EUReferendum have reported, though it seemed to be ok when I checked.

CLIMATEGATE UPDATE - INQUIRY DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED

This BBC report on their website (I doubt if it will be broadcast on screen!) gives the good news that an inquiry looks very likely to be held into various aspects of the leaked emails.

DEMAND A FAIR INQUIRY INTO CLIMATEGATE

Magnificent Christopher Booker has got it absolutely right in this article. Any attempt to rig an inquiry to give a whitewash will be obvious from the start and must be resisted. Only a fair and transparent process with a truly independent chairman will be acceptable.

CLIMATE JARGON EXPLAINED

Here is some climate change jargon explained for those interested in such things. Just thought you should be aware. There are a couple of errors in it which discerning readers will spot. No prizes, but let me know if you like.

CLIMATE CHANGE TO CAUSE INCREASE IN PROSTITUTION

No, I am not referring to even more frantic attempts by alarmists to push out the message of doom! This report tries by a very convoluted argument, to suggest that "climate change" (of the catastrophic type predicted by alarmists) will drive poor women to seek a living by selling their bodies. I don't know who is the more desparate, the poor women or the people making the argument.

AUSSIE OPPOSITION IN TURMOIL OVER ETS

This report shows the deep divisions in the Australian opposition Liberal Party over the Emission Trading Scheme being put forward by the government.

LAND SINKS LEAD TO SELECTIVE ACCOUNTING ON GW

This report shows the fact that land acts as a natural sink for CO2 which could account for most if not all of Australia's CO2 emissions. The fact that it is not accepted would seem to show that the ETS is more about raising taxes than in real accounting.

CLIMATE TREATY DISASTER LOOMS

This article looks at the economics as well as the science and concludes that disaster awaits if a new treaty were to be signed at Copenhagen. Included in it is a short clip from a recent speech by Lord Monckton which has been seen by over 3 million people over the past few weeks.

'HEAD OF CRU SHOULD RESIGN' - GEORGE MONBIOT

Yes this article by none other than arch alarmist, George Monbiot, call for no less than the resignation of the head of the Climate Research Unit at Hadley UK, over the 'climategate' emails leak. Of course he then goes on to say that he still believes in the global warming scare and writes a long diatribe to support his thesis, but the extraordinary thing is his acknowledgement of just how seriously he regards the contents of the leaked emails, even though other alarmists have tried to shrug it off as nothing more than banter between scientists.

More on 'climategate' here.

JOANNE NOVA HIGHLIGHTS WEAK 'CONSENSUS' CASE ON GW

This presentation is really excellent and reveals the empty thinking of politicians on the subject, and the lack of rigour applied.

'PUT CLIMATE SCIENTISTS IN THE DOCK'

Lord Monckton has called for the scientists whose leaked emails point to the destruction of data to avoid complying with a freedom of information request, to face a court of law in this article, though he admits it isn't likely to happen.

LORD LAWSON CALLS FOR AN INQUIRY INTO 'CLIMATEGATE' LEAKS AND SETS UP A NEW CLIMATE POLICY THINK TANK

This report explains the details. See my post of two days ago for details of the leaked emails. To hear Lord Lawson on the BBC Today programme, click here.

This Times article explains about the new Climate Policy Foundation.

This episode is starting to grow into the main stream media and will prove very embarrassing to the alarmists.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE FROM THE UK PARLIAMENT

The proceedings of our parliament receive little or no coverage in the media, particularly when a member makes a speech contrary to the prevailing orthodoxy on global warming. So by way of a change I highlight the excellent contribution from Peter Lilley MP which can be read here. (to read his speech scroll down to page 1048, about half way down 2.55pm.)

NOW FOR YOUR PERSONAL CARBON ALLOWANCE

This Telegraph report tells the story. Logically, this is where the government is heading if they carry on with this nonsense, and I doubt anything will change as the Conservatives are just as signed up to it as the Labour government. So whichever way we vote there is no other policy on offer.

EMAIL RECORDS FROM HADLEY CENTRE HACKED INTO

A large amount of emails and other sensitive data from the Hadley Climate Centre in East Anglia UK, was released onto the internet yesterday. This article gives some details. Some of the exchanges released show the thinking of our top climate scientists seems to be far from the objective process that is required for impartial evidence-gathering and scientific research.

**UPDATE - For those with the time and inclination to delve deeper Here is the site to go digging!

More Here and here.

ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES TO COST £15,000 EACH

This article in the Guardian explains the plans of the UK Climate Change Committee - even more costs for the taxpayer and the citizen.

NEW TAX ON UK ELECTRICITY TO PAY FOR CARBON CAPTURE

This Times report gives details of the new tax to be levied on all UK electricity bills to pay for carbon capture to be fitted to coal-fired power stations. How long will the public accept these increases before they realise that the climate is not controlled by CO2 emissions, or how long can the government maintain the fiction that it does?

GLOBAL WARMING AND EXTINCTIONS - EXAGGERATED CLAIMS EXPOSED

This paper explains that claims of large numbers of extinctions are based on incomplete understanding and may be greatly exaggerated (like so many things in the global warming debate).

IPCC MATHS - 4000 MEANS 50

This report explains the myth of "4000 scientists agree that man is causing catstrophic warming". The report carefully explains how the true number of scientists is under 50. This is far from the broad consensus claimed by the alarmists. Global warming is a crisis built on a web of deceit to support some very weak scientific evidence.

BARMY QUANGOS WILL BANKRUPT US ALL

Christopher Booker sums up our problems brilliantly in his weekly column in the Sunday Telegraph. Thank goodness he is still able to do so. It is surprising that his bosses have not been lent on to get rid of him. If so how long before they give in?

THE CLIMATE ENGINE

This paper gives a very interesting account of the behaviour of our atmosphere. It is a hard read for a non-scientist, but very thought-provoking.

KILIMANJARO SNOW MELT NOT DUE TO GW

Christopher Booker explains the real reason for the loss of ice and snow on the famous volcano. This myth is constantly trotted out by alarmists, who must be desparate to find examples, when they repeat such an easily disproved one.

SNOUTS IN THE CARBON TROUGH

This article by the Carbon Sense Coalition sums up succinctly the situation that we are facing with regard to the introduction of carbon trading schemes. Let's hope that common sense will prevail, though I personally have serious doubts.

50% OF MAN-MADE CO2 IS ABSORBED BY THE PLANET

This report explains the new study which shows the capacity of the planet to absorb CO2 is much greater than was realised. Once more we learn how little we really understand of the science.

COPENHAGEN TREATY WILL LEAD TO 'WORLD GOVERNMENT'

This is the claim made by Lord Monckton in an interview on Ausralian radio. His claim is based on a draft treaty which was uncovered on the UN website and passed on to him. Monckton has made a speech in the USA and in Canada warning people of the danger of governments signing such a binding treaty. This interview is very clear and well worth listening to.

To access a copy of the draft Copenhagen Treaty click here, though I should warn you it is 180 pages of legal jargon, full of acronyms and utterly politically correct gobbledegook.

GERMAN RENEWABLE ENERGY A FAILURE

This report into the german renewable energy system, which is one of the most advanced in the world and held up as an example to other nations, is extremely critical. It highlights the fact that it is extremely costly and it does not actually save any emissions over all. An extraordinary result.

UK LEAST WORRIED ABOUT GW - NEW SURVEY

This report gives the details. It's ironic that despite this, the UK government has been the most fervent promoter of the global warming hysteria.

CHINA AND INDIA CLIMATE SCEPTIC ACCORD

This article gives the details of the doubts expressed by scientists in China and India on man made GW. The debate goes on, even if the temperature has stopped rising.

CLIVE JAMES ON GLOBAL WARMING

Here is a link to a BBC radio broadcast by Clive James in which he gives his views on global warming. (The global warming comments are in the last third of the broadcast.)

THE GREEN INDUSTRIAL STATE

Here's an article to explain the way big business is linked to green activist groups as well as goverment to bring in the carbon trading schemes in the face of opposition from ordinary people.

THE WIND FARM SCAM

Here's a good article from Roger Helmer MEP on the subject of wind farms and their considerable drawbacks. Well worth a read.

US WEATHER AUTHORITY REMOVES WEB PAGE QUESTIONNING GW HYPOTHESIS

Here are the details. Are the climate alarmists becoming paranoid?

RUSSIAN EMISSION CREDITS COULD SWAMP EU CUTS

Here's an example of where carbon trading can lead to. If it wasn't so serious it would be funny in a farcical way; and yet the UN and many governments are seriously considering extending this sort of scheme on to a world scale. Luckily it is likely that some nations will throw a spanner in the works and no agreement will be reached, other than a huge fudge. Even a fudge will probably be nassively expensive, create a huge bureaucracy and be subject to enormous fraud, which we will all be paying for.

US POLL SHOWS PUBLIC NOT WORRIED ABOUT GW

Here's the poll findings. This is one of several polls around the world that show the disconnect between politicians rhetoric and their people. Despite the ratcheting up of pro AGW propaganda the public remain implaccably unconvinced. Could it be due to a lack of real evidence?

UK GOVERNMENT 'FIDDLING THE FIGURES' ON EMISSIONS?

This report explains the claimed shortcomings in the government's recently released figures. There is bound to be room for massive errors on this sort of calculation which is practically impossible to verify.
