Grey whale migration: Should we get all excited about data that doesn't even span one PDO cycle?

The scientists at the centre have observed the whales for more than 20 years as they pass through Monterey Bay. Compared to two decades ago, Perryman said, the animals are reaching the bay a week later.

"This isn't trivial," Perryman said. "It's a significant change."
Richard Ternullo, a boat captain for Monterey Bay Whale Watch in Monterey, California, said the whales' yearly arrival in the bay fluctuates, but he has noticed on average it has drifted about 10 days later into the year.

"Last year, they were considerably late," Ternullo said. "But this year they seem to be on time."

I just got an email asking me to "help STOP Climate Change." Dude, the climate has "changed" for thousands of years. You want ME to stop it?

2/13/09: Climate realist Joe Bastardi on the Dennis Prager radio show

Dennis: "I wouldn’t care about this…except policy is being shaped [to fight global warming]. A half billion dollars is being spent on global warming [research the new stimulus bill]. This belief which I believe is untrue and is politically and panicly inspired, is causing massive changes. There are consequences to the belief in Global Warming."

Joe: "California gets more rain when the earth is warming. When the earth is cooling it is cooling because of cooling in the Pacific which we are having now and will have for the next 20 or 30 years…"

Dennis: "Please understand the astonishing ability of the Left to corrupt the science. Global Warming tends to be a liberal-conservative issue. One of us should lose a lot of credibility. The world economy rides on whether or not we take the Kyoto Protocols seriously. There have been beliefs about the end of the world throughout history." MP3 here.
