Heres the thing the computer models that predicted something more accelerated than what has actually happened since 1998 are the same ones predicting disaster in the long run. If they were wrong about the past 15 years, it is a good sign they are wrong about the long run, too. | 5_1 |
So forgetting all this, and taking the reports analytics at face value, it is concluded that the FULL COST of coal makes wind, solar, and other forms of nonfossil fuel power generation economically competitive. As such, the study calls for phasing out coal and phasing in cleanly powered smart grids using place-appropri... | 0_0 |
Would anyone care? You can see that there are warm places on the Earth, too: Sahara, Brazil, India, etc. But there are many other issues we should remember. First, the warming near the equator is going to be slower (the warming near the poles is amplified by the ice-albedo feedback effect). Second, the latitude is not ... | 0_0 |
Yeatman: Not so-warmer but richer (i.e., no economy crushing climate policies) is better for humans than poorer but cooler. Global warming policies are worse than global warming! For the sake of our children, we must do nothing on climate change. | 0_0 |
I thought the climate was gentle when atmospheric CO2 concentration was below 300 ppm steady, unvariable and associated with few weather extremes. Thats what fraudster warmist climatologists tried to have us believe with an assortment a various hockey stick charts. | 5_2 |

There has been a sharp decline over the past year in the percentage of Americans who say there is solid evidence that global temperatures are rising, that it is a very serious problem, and that it is caused by human activity.

Even neglecting radiosonde data, which has recorded little or no warming, and using the untested new satellite data set, Santer et al. find models still predict 170 percent more warming than was actually recorded by the data sets they use. | 5_1 |
The exact same thing is going on with the climate. It is governed by a variety of emergent climate phenomena such as thunderstorms, the El Nino/La Nina warm water pump, and the PDO. And as a result, the change in global temperature is totally decoupled from the changes in forcings. This is why it is so hard to find tra... | 2_1 |

The final thing I learned from this study is that creatures in the ocean live happily in a wide range of alkalinities, from a high of over 8.0 down to almost neutral. As a result, the idea that a slight change in alkalinity will somehow knock the ocean dead doesn??t make any sense. By geological standards, the CO2 conc... | 3_2 |

Schmidt says that these efforts are a little misguided.

By contrast, $26 billion taken from taxpayers and given to wind, solar and biofuel energy projects via Department of Energy subsidies and loan guarantees since 2009 created only 2,298 permanent jobs, at a cost of $11.45 million per job, the Institute for Energy Research calculates, using DOE data. | 0_0 |
