Mr. President, How about These Shovel-Ready Projects? — MasterResource

Replacing these older plants as they are retired from service with newer coal-fired power plants represents the quickest and lowest-cost way to reduce the adverse environmental impacts of current coal-fired power generation. And it does so without government subsidies or any deterioration in the quality of electricity service.

Climate change rhetoric spirals out of control - Christopher Booker - Telegraph

It was another bad week for the "warmists", now more desperate than ever to whip up alarm over an overheating planet.

Fred Singer and the vitriol in the global warming discussion | Salsa Verde

Lastly, I just thought I’d reprint some of the varying reaction to my story that I got in the last two days in calls and emails. Most of them were from people I’ll call skeptics. (Singer, by the way, said this community is not monolithic and has a wide variation of opinion; the variety of these reactions seems to prove his point.)...

Arctic Sea Ice News & Analysis

Some people might ask why we don't simply switch to the EOS AMSR-E sensor. AMSR-E is a newer and more accurate passive microwave sensor. However, we do not use AMSR-E data in our analysis because it is not consistent with our historical data. Thus, while AMSR-E gives us greater accuracy and more confidence on current sea ice conditions, it actually provides less accuracy on the long-term changes over the past thirty years. There is a balance between being as accurate as possible at any given moment and being as consistent as possible through long time periods. Our main scientific focus is on the long-term changes in Arctic sea ice. With that in mind, we have chosen to continue using the SSM/I sensor, which provides the longest record of Arctic sea ice extent. [Via Climate Research News]
