In fact, it seems the only constant in climate history is change-continuous change, in varying ways at various times, collectively spanning a very broad range of temperatures. What causes these changes is unclear. Temperatures have been warmer than now, and greenhouse gas concentrations higherbut which caused which rem... | 2_1 |
Methane emissions from hydraulic fracturing operations have become the latest target for activists seeking to ban hydraulic fracturing, commonly called "fracking."

The above quote illustrates the extent to which the leadership of the EPA will ignore all science that interferes with its quest for power.

There is no greenhouse effect. Like two years ago, you again offer the fact down-welling IR measured by pyrometer (IR thermometer) from cold CO2 in sky at 300 w/m 2 as proof heat transfers at that rate from cold CO2 to warmer surface, is absorbed by surface, heating it and causing it to radiate more intensely. It prove... | 2_3 |
As the air's CO 2 concentration continues to rise, it is likely this dwarf apple species will exhibit significant increases in both photosynthesis and apple production.

In the real world, there has been a temperature rise of 0.3C in the last 35 years as measured by satellites. This is well short of what is predicted by global warming theory as practiced by the CSIRO, Bureau of Meteorology and others. | 5_1 |

This goes to show that temperatures are more closely related to ENO than temperatures are related to CO2, let alone ENO is related to CO2.

Now, if we leave out the extinctions by introduced predators, then out of the 207 bird and mammal extinctions there are only 9 extinctions in 500 years, three mammals and six birds.

First, as clearly documented on the Anthony Watts website, many of the observing sites are not at the same height above the ground (i.e. not at 1.5m or 2m).

Still, it is the geopolitical implications of this change that may well be the most important. There is not a one-to-one relationship between population and power. But numbers matter.
