C3: What Has Really Caused Global Warming Since 1800's? It's Looking More and More Like Gross Mismanagement By Government

Due to the failure of the CO2 hypothesis and models based on that hypothesis, the best explanation of global warming lies in the gross mismanagement of the climate station network and temperature record database by government agencies. In fact, the survey and analysis of the stations and temperature records done by Anthony Watts and team indicates that a large upward warming bias has been interjected - to the tune of at least 70% of reported warming. In essence, real surface global warming has been substantially less than reported by the agencies responsible for the collection and dissemination of the data.

Well, if 70% of warming is due to gross mismanagement, what about the other 30%. Glad you asked

Boundary Layer Clouds: IPCC Bowdlerizes Bony « Climate Audit

As we've discussed before (and is well known), clouds are the greatest source of uncertainty in climate sensitivity. Low-level ("boundary layer") tropical clouds have been shown to be the largest source of inter-model difference among GCMs. Clouds have been known to be problematic for GCMs since at least the Charney Report in 1979. Given the importance of the topic for GCMs, one would have thought that AR4 would have devoted at least a chapter to the single of issue of clouds, with perhaps one-third of that chapter devoted to the apparently thorny issue of boundary layer tropical clouds.

This is what an engineering study would do - identify the most critical areas of uncertainty and closely examine all the issues related to the critical uncertainty. Unfortunately, that's not how IPCC does things. Instead, clouds are treated in one subsection of chapter 8 and boundary layer clouds in one paragraph.

Ms Placed Democrat » In The Are You Kidding Me File: Glenn Beck Exposes Goldman Sachs Owns The White House

Glenn Beck exposes Goldman Sachs for what it is — a subsidiary of the White House, Oval Office, and Treasury. Or maybe Goldman Sachs just owns the White House and federal government. Who truly knows the answer? My guess it is all in the telling of the Goldman Sachs tale!

CNS: EU Teams With MTV on Climate Change

Don’t quote me on it, but I think there was once a time when MTV showed something called “music videos” instead of political propaganda.
