Antarctic temperatures between ice ages '6C warmer than today' - Telegraph
Until now temperatures during the warm periods between ice ages - known as interglacials - were thought to be only slightly warmer than those of the present day, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) scientists explained.

But the findings, published this week in journal Nature, show brief spikes in temperature, which recur roughly every 100,000 years and last a few thousand years, seem to have been a lot warmer.
Polar bears suffer brutal deaths in a new advert by climate change campaigners Plane Stupid - Telegraph
The advert, which aims to raise awareness of the carbon emissions associated with short-haul flights, has been criticised as “distasteful” and “distressing”.

Opening on what at first appear to be unidentified objects descending from the heavens, the viewer eventually can see that the objects are in fact dead polar bears plummeting to the ground as a plane is heard overhead.

As the advert continues, the computer generated bears meet their deaths, crashing against buildings, leaving a trail of blood, and landing on cars.
No Consensus « the Air Vent
These emails have been incredibly revealing. We who are skeptical will hear no more criticism of our points that top quality skeptical papers cannot pass through review after these emails. There is widespread evidence here of active collusion to prevent papers which could be interpreted as skeptical from being published.
...
This is a scandal with proportions that reach past all of the imaginations of a skeptics mind. Now I’ve never claimed global warming to be false here at tAV, and this provides absolutely zero evidence either way. However, regardless as to whether the “scientists” or polyscienticians are right or wrong about global warming, the disservice they have done to humanity through this collusion and manipulation approaches criminal. It will be impossible to convince people that this globalization effort is about warming. These many emails demonstrate that climate science is absolutely not a natural consensus but a forced one with leftist governmental goals, manipulated from the IPCC on downward to give the impression of certainty of knowledge.
I Love CO2: BREAKING: Hadley CRU has apparently been hacked – hundreds of files released
Watch out, Al Gore. Run for the hills, Obama. Better stick your head back in the sand, Suzuki.
...
If these turn out to be real and accurate files, it will be a massive blow to the alarmists and a major victory for all of us realists.
