An Example Of The Misuse Of The Publication Process “Model Ensemble Estimates of Climate Change Impacts on UK Seasonal Precipitation Extremes” by Fowler and Ekström 2009

Since there is no way to validate their model results for the time period 2070-2100 and the IPCC models have not even demonstrated skill in predicting regional climate extremes for the current climate, the results in the Fowler and Ekström are just hypotheses. It is a disppointing statement of climate science that hypotheses, which have not been tested, are presented as papers in the literature.

As I See It » The science of Global Warming is disputed, but so what?

Is anyone upset?

Upset, that in spite of so much contrary evidence, the global warming crowd is going ahead with protections that are not needed. Protections that will cause the masses to suffer economic hardships that will be blamed on the free-market capitalistic system.

Why aren’t we the people screaming?

The Madoff scam was supposedly big time, but this one will affect millions of people, but it is sanctioned by the government, which makes it OK.

Even GE backs away from offshore wind - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

Six years ago, before the project was stalled by powerful political headwinds, Cape Wind developers selected General Electric to do the work.

“G.E. Wind Energy manufactures the most advanced offshore wind turbines available today,” Jim Gordon, the managing general partner of Cape Wind, said at the time.

But G.E. no longer makes any offshore turbines, according to Steve Fludder, the head of G.E.’s green business unit, who sat down for a wide-ranging interview with The Times on Wednesday.

G.E. has instead focused its turbine business where it sees the vast majority of demand: on land. Offshore wind, said Mr. Fludder, is “just a vastly costlier proposition — not for us but for the world.”

Arne Jon Isachsen: To drive carbon emissions down, let's allocate every individual a "pollution" entitlement | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

Idealism alone is not enough to drive carbon emissions down: we should give each individual a pollution entitlement

Incentives, incentives

Hmm, now, imagine you are a ruthless dictator desirous of making the most possible money out of your control of your country and its people.

It’s not entirely beyond the bounds of believability that such exist now, is it?

So what’s your best option under this scheme? Slaughter the population and sell their carbon quotas of course.

An interesting set of incentives to organise, don’t you think?
