Public Gives Cold Shoulder to Global Warming Theory
Meanwhile, global warming models are increasingly wrong. The thing to remember about these models is they all assume trace amounts of CO2 can be a primary driver of climate change. There is still very little evidence to support this claim, as CO2 levels generally rise in response to higher temperatures, not as a cause, and we’ve gone into Ice Ages at CO2 concentrations ten times higher than today’s.
Australian Climate Madness: Climate sense from The Australian
Yet more climate sense, with even a dash of scepticism thrown in. What's going on? In an opinion piece entitled "Wong is wrong on ETS", The Australian skewers the utter nonsense that is the ETS...
Catlin Arctic Ice Survey first report offers no original drilling data, but anecdotally confirms satellite measurement « Watts Up With That?
Note: One of the many integrity issues with Catlin is that none of their photos can be dated. Even embedded EXIF information (including date/time done by most digital cameras in use today) has been removed from gallery photos on the website. For all we know this photo above they included in their just released report could have been taken during training. The high photographic angle suggests the photographer was standing on something, but what? Further, no raw data is offered in their first report, we are expected to take it on faith I suppose. Given their admittedly fraudulent biometric readings, and lack of candor on their ice radar, how can we trust anything they publish? So far for a “science” mission I remain unimpressed with the effort or the transparency. - Anthony

[Steven Goddard] In conclusion:

1. They seek out “flat” (implying thinner and younger) ice
2. They planned on being on multi-year ice, even though the satellites showed that their route is on first year ice.
3. The first year ice they are on is “thick.”
4. Their measurements agree closely with satellite data.

In other words, they could have been home enjoying a pint in sunny England, and waited to see what happens to the ice this summer.
