Chinese scientists only looked at sea ice projections until 2005. Had they kept going, they would find more than a trend of slightly increasing sea ice levels. Last year was the first year on record that Antarctic sea ice coverage rose above 7.72 square miles. | 1_1 |
As illustrated and discussed in If the IPCC was Selling Manmade Global Warming as a Product, Would the FTC Stop their deceptive Ads? , the IPCCs climate models cannot simulate the rates at which surface temperatures warmed and cooled since 1901 on a global basis, so their failings illustrated in this postare not abnorm... | 5_1 |
These studies all find that the energy sector would be required to make massive reductions in carbon emissions. They also argue that CO2 emissions are closely linked to all aspects of economic growth and that energy use is essential to improving economic well being. | 4_5 |

Washington, D.C., August 11, 2003In an attempt to discredit the Competitive Enterprise Institute's lawsuit against the White House over the Administration's failure to implement a sound-science law in regard to global warming reports, the state attorneys general of Maine and Connecticut have asked U.S. Attorney General... | 0_0 |

* The last scene is a soccer field. A new coach has arrived and thinks his team is a bunch of pansies. Which they are. And there's an 80 year old goalie so it's no wonder they needed a new coach.

Researchers in the UMaine Climate Change Institute ( http://www.climatechange.umaine.edu/ ) have focused on the relationship between solar variability and climate, particularly the use of isotopes in tree rings and ice cores to provide an indication of the suns strength.

ACESA could only harden their resolve. As other countries adopt GHG limits, China and India will make competitive gains by simply standing pat against controls.

Fred Singer: With regard to those drought conditions in Texas, it's very apparent that ocean cycles have had an important influence. The Pacific Ocean has shifted to a cooler phase while the Atlantic is still in a warm phase. This circumstance is similar to what occurred in the early 1950s when the drop in tropical Pac... | 0_0 |
The book requires a good opening chapter that lays out the facts on global climate change, but I would like this chapter to be framed with optimism, not gloom and doom, Maple said in an email to Hayhoe in October 2007.

The billions of dollars spent by government and others to fund science just perpetuates problems rather than solving them. Funding only continues if research shows what those funding it wish it to prove, otherwise funding is discontinued. | 0_0 |
ACESA makes a valuable contribution in highlighting the importance of adaptation. Fortunately, much can be done to minimize the social costs that climate change might otherwise cause.

In late June, the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) took President Obama up on his "so sue me" challenge and filed a lawsuit over his administration's modification of the 1940 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act that now allows wind energy producers a 30- year permit to kill the majestic birds.

Yes, Mr. President, we do produce more oil at home than we have in quite a long time. We could actually be producing a lot more than we currently are. See that decline in Federal Gulf of Mexico production from ~1.7 MMbbl/d to ~1.4 MMbbl/d since early 2010? You actually did build that. | 4_5 |
Despite widely held beliefs, there continues to be very little correlation between regional air pollution rates and asthma rates.

Another absurdity which is pushed with the vehemence of an absolute is that if the oceans get more acidic than pH 8.1 ocean life will be destroyed, because calcium carbon precipitates above that pH and dissolves below it.

Now polar conditions have stopped cooperating, and sea ice looks poised to defy the projections.

Unless stopped, EPA will be in a position to determine the stringency of fuel economy standards for the auto industry, set climate policy for the nation, and even 'amend' portions of the Clean Air Act (to avoid some, but not all, absurd results).
