Comments On The NASA GISS Website Q&A “GISS Surface Temperature Analysis - The Elusive Absolute Surface Air Temperature (SAT)”

This means the use of GISS surface temperature anomalies [and those of other sources of SAT anomaly analysis (as summarized in CCSP, 2006) which are drawn from essentially the same raw temperature data] are providing erroneous and misleading quantitative diagnoses of global warming and cooling both within climate assessment reports and to policymakers.

Media's own climate agenda | The Australian

The media is about to put the Rudd Government on trial when its targets are released next week. But the media should also be put on trial in any contest about honesty and integrity.

When you hear calls for Australia to cut emissions unconditionally in the 25-40 per cent range by 2020, ask why Australia should be expected to do significantly more than other developed nations in per capita terms when any such action would make no difference to the climate change challenge. Ask why Australia should merely entrench the Kyoto-Bali framework that is manifestly inadequate to solve a global problem whose nature has changed fundamentally in the past decade. And ask what is wrong in moral and practical terms with Australia tying its response to the political burden the rest of the world assumes given that our global emissions contribution will be about 1per cent of the total by 2030.
