Climate Feedback: Copenhagen: 'They are heading into that zombie state'
"Everybody needs a deal," he says. "For us, Africans, we just have to get what we can."
..."The negotiators are starting to look bedraggled. They are heading into that zombie state," Diringer said. "But they need to be in that zombie state. That's when the deals get done."
The Green Hypocrites: Prince Charles and Gordon Brown take separate jets... to lecture the world on global warming | Mail Online
Charles used the £1,019-an-hour Queen’s Flight so he could deliver a keynote speech to the climate change conference, flying back after less than three hours.

“Propaganda” Warrior exposed « JoNova
Is $100 million in solar better than say, $60 million in coal and $40 million on reforestation?

How can we know, if we don’t have the global records for temperatures; if we can’t get the raw data to check, and if the scientists in control of the data secretly and “artificially adjust” their results?

ClimateGate hurts people.

Science belongs to all of us. When corruption distorts it, we are all poorer.
Roger L. Simon: Cope Notes #1: The Snows of Kilimancrazy
First the good news: it’s snowing out (big flakes, beautiful) and I didn’t drink too much last night.

Now the bad news: The rest. This whole event so far, what I can see of it anyway, is just silly. Basically, it’s a combination of a trade fair for eco products that are being flogged everywhere (I’m staying in a CO2 neutral hotel – you can see it on PJTV), third world operators looking for hand-outs (a couple of African scientists admitted to one of the skeptic scientists they knew AGW was a schuck, but it was a great oppo to get some cash) and leftover, re-upped hippies doing what they do — demonstrate and carry-on.

Comments On A New Paper “Strong Alpine Glacier Melt In The 1940s Due To Enhanced Solar radiation” By Huss Et Al 2009 « Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.
This is yet another study that documents the inability to properly describe the climate system when it is oversimplified by focusing on just the metric of surface air temperature anomalies. The higher Alpine glacier melt in the 1940s, also provides evidence that this climate event is not primarily caused by a long-term trend in the global warming (or cooling).
