The Court also brushed this aside, lecturing the EPA on the need to make a start at correcting the problem and commanding action. It left the EPA an out in that the agency can decline to list carbon dioxide as an air pollutant only if it has a scientific basis for this choice. | 0_0 |

This chart is a real head-scratcher for scientists trying to prove a causal relationship between CO2 and global temperatures. By theory, temperature increases from CO2 should be immediate, though the oceans provide a big thermal sink that to this day is not fully understood.

The authors state that heavy metal pollution in agricultural soils is receiving ever more attention, citing Tang (2006) and the IPCC (2007), while noting that China possesses more than 130 km 2 of cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil due to wastewater discharge from mining operations and industrial emissions, citing Xiong et... | 3_3 |
If the earths climate were really responding the way that climate models project it should, the warmest year on record would be announced about every other year (factoring in the observed level of natural variation in annual average temperatures). | 5_1 |
Our ability to quantify the human influence on global climate is currently limited because the expected signal is still emerging from the noise of natural variability, and because there are uncertainties in key factors.

Whats interesting is that if you leave Kelburn out of the equation, Thorndon in 1910 is not far below Airport 2010.

Statistically there has been no change in the average annual temperature of the globe since 1997 meaning that the standstill is now 16 years.

Of course, the authors ignore the fact that there has been no warming for at least a decade - while anthropogenic greenhouse gases have been increasing more rapidly.

There is some merit to these comments.

EPA is determined to make our air not merely safe or healthy, but pristine, with no human pollutants.

We may reasonably wonder why they feel compelled to endorse this view.
