Global Warming on the Moon? « the Air Vent
The average day temperature and average night temperature are given at this link. It’s in degrees C so we need to add
is 273+107 = 380K in the day and 273-153 = 120K at night for a net average of 250K. This is 23C cooler than a simple calculation would demonstrate and if the same result was made on a planet with an atmosphere we would give have the impression that there was 23 C created by greenhouse gasses. However, the lunar surface has a great deal more variance in temperature than the earth which creates substantially more error in the simple calculation.
[Rare birding sighting reminds idiot that Pepsi bubbles might kill us all]
[Don Freiday, director of bird programs for New Jersey Audubon] said he shivered one frigid morning while watching the bird, too afraid to leave it to grab a coat from his car. The bird is especially meaningful because of its uncertain future. Climate change could spell disaster for Arctic species, he said.

“I said to my children, ‘This is the last one you’ll see in your lifetime,’” he said.
Hurricanes « the Air Vent
This is an interesting exchange. I was going to excerpt parts but everyone’s points need to be read. Dr. Christy was pointing out that hurricanes have not grown detectably worse or stronger – according to the evil data. He got a bit of a reaction. He also ended up pointing out that the gatekeepers were preventing non-conforming science from being included in the IPCC process.
Extinction, Climate Change & Modeling Mayhem by Doug L. Hoffman | Climate Realists
Climate and environmental scientists have become dependent on computer models in recent decades. The scientific literature and the popular press are filled with strident warnings of impending natural disasters, all predicated on the output of computer programs. The IPCC has solemnly predicted that climate change will drive thousands of species to extinction if anthropogenic global warming is not reined in. The coprophagous press has uncritically swallowed these computer generated droppings, reporting conjecture as fact and possibilities and certainties. Even though the climate change faithful continue to blindly believe the IPCC predictions, at least some researchers are aware of the glaring flaws in their computer models.
