It’s not the first time recent conflicts are being blamed on “climate change”, ie, because you, dear reader, drove a fossil fueled vehicle and probably have an ice maker in your fridge. Nor will it be the last. But Warmists see an opening to push their cult like dogma when it comes to Syria (Motherboard) […]

“But, but, but, it could have included some components of Hotcoldwetdry too!!!! Please, believe us, we have bills to pay” (via Junk Science) (Financial Times) Cities along the US east coast face a looming “sea level rise crisis” from a growing number of disasters as severe as hurricane Sandy, according to research on links between […]

In terms of landfalling hurricanes, this seems to be what’s happening. It’s been over 7 years and 10 months since a major hurricane (category 3+) hit the United States. There has only been one barely a hurricane strike since 2008. Superstorm Sandy was not a hurricane at time of landfall. Hurricanes and tropical systems seem […]

In Warmist World, the cooling Pacific is surely caused by too much heat (Judith Curry) My mind has been blown by a new paper just published in Nature. Just when I least expected it, after a busy day when I took a few minutes to respond to a query from a journalist about a new […]

I’d hazard a guess that it’s because people, like Sunstein’s former boss, The Man With The Largest Carbon Footprint In The World (41,000 metric tons), refuse to practice what they preach. (Bloomberg) With respect to the science of climate change, many experts regard the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as the world’s authoritative institution. A […]

They’re predicting a really cold winter, and, let’s face it, their predictions tend to be quite a bit better than the computer models of Warmists. They also put themselves out there by predicting what’s coming shortly, versus the Warmists that predict 50, 100, 1000 years out (BTW, how’s that “ice free Arctic in 2013” working […]

Apparently they’re stealth hurricanes, since the US mainland has not been hit by a major hurricane since October 24, 2005 (Hurricane enable: How climate change is mixing up bigger, badder storms ) Global warming and hurricanes are like Bourbon Street and Hurricanes: The farther down the road you go, the more intense they get. Buy […]

Al Gore sat down for an interview with the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein, and provides some real howlers. Here’s the part relevant to the headline (via Watts Up With That?) EK: Give me the optimistic scenario on what happens next. If all goes well, what do the next few years look like on this issue? […]

No, really (UK Register) Global warming and climate change are usually thought to mean that world sea levels will rise, perhaps disastrously. But according to US government boffins, in recent times (2010 and 2011, to be precise) phenomena driven by human carbon emissions have actually caused world sea levels to fall. The seas have, of […]

Usually I focus on the politics of “climate change”, throwing in a few facts and scientific data. Here’s a bit of true science I noticed while going through the feedreader (The Hockey Schtick) More bad news for Michael Mann: A new paper published in Climate of the Past finds that ‘modern sample bias’ has “seriously […]

Why? Because you refuse to give up your fossil fueled travel, still have a fridge with an ice maker, and dare to use hair spray before work (UK Guardian) Recent articles in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten (translation available here) and in the Irish Times both ran headlines claiming that another grand solar minimum could potentially […]

As I’ve noted many times, I’ll believe it when it happens. No matter which way you look, cool, warm, stagnant, it is all guess-work at this time. But, looking towards the Sun for guidance is a lot more scientific than thinking Someone Else’s usage of fossil fuels will cause the planet to boil. This comes […]

Funny thing is, the downfall of the Incas occurred around the same time the Little Ice Age got going (Guardian) Although their empire existed for a scant 100 years before being cut short in 1533 by the arrival of the Spaniards, the Incas managed to create 26,000 miles of roads, ruled an empire of 10 […]

It must have been really warm as the Black Death rolled through Europe and Asia…oh, wait, it was cooler and wetter during that time period. Anyhow, here’s super-Warmist Bryan Walsh at Time (via Tom Nelson) The venerable Science magazine has a special issue out today on climate change. Some of the content is free, and […]

The Department of the Interior has joined the Ministry Of Truth (via Junk Science) (E&E News) Interior Secretary Sally Jewell today challenged her employees to take an active role in the “moral imperative” to address climate change. “I hope there are no climate change deniers in the Department of Interior,” she said. If there are […]

In a word Don’t Especially if they are Progressives. They are all rigid, myopic ideologues bound by talking points without critical adult thinking. It’s exceedingly rare that any will ever change their minds, as most are close-minded and interested in political advantage and instituting their far left dogma of big fascistic government (for Other People), […]

Over at Ace of Spades, Ace mentions a study that links sunspots to the high level of warming that occurred from the late 19070’s to around 1990, and how that lack of sunspots is predicting a cooling period. That reminded me of this article from Monday that I stuck in Instapaper (via Tom Nelson) Global […]

Nor all the other “computer models” Warmists use (The NO CARBON TAX Climate Skeptics Blog) Each month Professor Ole Humlum from the University of Oslo published the latest month’s data in a report called Climate4you. He has just issued the latest for June 2013. (link – pdf) The two satellite records continue to show cooling; […]
