Error Theory: NASA’s acknowledgement of “deep solar minimum” is still deeply dishonest

Phillips even quotes NASA solar scientist David Hathaway’s acknowledgment that, "five of the ten most intense solar cycles on record have occurred in the last 50 years,” yet they STILL fail to acknowledge the elephant in the room: that this period of high solar activity coincides with the period of global warming that the IPCC attributes to CO2.

These are supposed to be our experts, the one’s who make sure that what is known about solar science is properly taken into account by the IPCC and by our domestic policy-makers. Instead, they are providing as much cover as they can for the IPCC’s outright refusal to account the most well known facts about the correspondence between solar activity and global temperature.

EU Referendum: The appliance of science?

The Reuters exercise, incidentally, was carried out as officials from 175 nations were meeting in Bonn for 11 days of negotiations lasting until 8 April in an attempt to stitch up a deal for the Kyoto treaty replacement, due to be agreed in Copenhagen in December.

But, hilariously (not), the agency sent five questions to 35 IPCC authors and got 11 replies. Thus, its real tally is not nine out of 11 but nine out of 35. Nevertheless, this was good enough for a shock headline, repeated by newspapers and broadcast media throughout the world.

And upon this rock of fatuity founders the last vestiges of rationality in our society. Science we have no longer – just belief systems. But, as the sun continues to show an unusual quiescence, these people are on increasingly thin ice.

Is JR Killing the Polar Bears? — Climate Resistance: Challenging Climate Orthodoxy

Precarious situation indeed. And not only for the reasons that Meier had in mind. It’s not just Arctic sea ice that’s on the line, but the reputation of a scientific discipline that has got distracted by the need to save us all from our sins. Tune in for the next episode. There might be a crucifixion.

The White House - Weekly Address: Only one direct reference to the climate scam this week?

This idea – that we are all bound up, as Martin Luther King once said, in "a single garment of destiny"– is a lesson of all the world’s great religions. And never has it been more important for us to reaffirm that lesson than it is today – at a time when we face tests and trials unlike any we have seen in our time. An economic crisis that recognizes no borders. Violent extremism that’s claimed the lives of innocent men, women, and children from Manhattan to Mumbai. An unsustainable dependence on foreign oil and other sources of energy that pollute our air and water and threaten our planet. The proliferation of the world’s most dangerous weapons, the persistence of deadly disease, and the recurrence of age-old conflicts.

These are challenges that no single nation, no matter how powerful, can confront alone. The United States must lead the way. But our best chance to solve these unprecedented problems comes from acting in concert with other nations. That is why I met with leaders of the G-20 nations to ensure that the world’s largest economies take strong and unified action in the face of the global economic crisis. Together, we’ve taken steps to stimulate growth, restore the flow of credit, open markets, and dramatically reform our financial regulatory system to prevent such crises from occurring again – steps that will lead to job creation at home.
