The Billings Free Press | Puzzling Things In The Climate Change World

I enjoy reading some unusual blogs. One of them is Watts Up With That?

These are the kinds of graphs you are likely to find on this site. Useful though perhaps arcane stuff. But the text is really well done. Even I can understand most of it. Just like war is too important to leave to the generals, it looks like climate change is too important to leave to the politicians and their scientific sycophants.

Maybe our motto should be Trust But Verify.

Climate change targets questioned after CO2 falls by just one per cent in decade - Telegraph

Robin Webster, of Friends of the Earth, pointed out that the figures do not include emissions from international aviation or shipping.

Does the Medieval Warm Period mean that climate change isn't real, dangerous and caused by humans? (No) - Boing Boing

A frequent shibboleth of climate change denialism is that the Medieval Warm Period -- a period of apparent global climate change in medieval times -- indicates that the Earth's climate rises and falls all the time, and that therefore, human beings don't cause global warming. In this paper, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration investigate the best scientific findings on the Medieval Warm Period hypothesis, with special emphasis on the massive, wide-ranging, independent UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They conclude that "the late 20th and early 21st centuries are likely the warmest period the Earth has seen in at least 1200 years."
