New York — There are clear indications that the European Union and Japan may not sign on to an agreement on climate aid funding that combines short-term and long-term aid numbers without the US being clear it can do its share.

AGW, Revisited: James Randi  

It's easy enough to believe that drought, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes are signs of a coming catastrophe from global warming, but these are normal variations of any climate that we -- and other forms of life -- have survived. Earth has undergone many serious changes in climate, from the Ice Ages to periods of heavily increased plant growth from their high levels of CO2, yet the biosphere has survived. We're adaptable, stubborn, and persistent -- and we what other life forms don't have: we can manipulate our environment. Show me an Inuit who can survive in his habitat without warm clothing... Humans will continue to infest Earth because we're smart.

In my amateur opinion, more attention to disease control, better hygienic conditions for food production and clean water supplies, as well as controlling the filth that we breathe from fossil fuel use, are problems that should distract us from fretting about baking in Global Warming.

James Randi: Information from Answers.com

Global warming and the Arctic--what The Team should have read beforehand

It makes me wonder if those collecting tree rings in Siberia for the creation of Mark I, Mod II of the Hockey Stick read what the IPCC actually produces. Certainly the information here does not correspond well with what The Team produced. I wonder why? Certainly a lot of the names in ACIA's report look very, very familiar.

C3: Putting Global Warming Into Real World Context: The Actual Climate Outcome of Accelerating, Runaway Warming Is Not Going To Happen

...positive feedback is unsustainable in nature unless we are talking about nuclear reactions, but that's not what the natural climate is about. Global temperatures may increase, but they won't do so in either an accelerated or runaway mode as global warming alarmists and climate modellers speculate.

Fielding finds climate sceptics in strange places

SENATOR Steve Fielding has had a revelation: the Federal Government is full of climate change sceptics.

"If they really believe the science, you wouldn't do a 5 [per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions], you wouldn't do 20, you would do 30 or 40. If you really believe the science, how could you support anything other than 40 per cent?"

Open Scienceand climategate: The IPCC/CRU needs to take a leaf out of CERN's Book

This is not the place to debate the immense subject of climate science but it is necessary to say something about “climategate” in order to explain what happens when scientists and politicians collude to distort, hide and even destroy critical (raw) data and methodologies which, unlike the output of CERN, have absolutely colossal financial implications for every man, woman and child on this planet.

The Reference Frame: Open science & Climategate

Not only because the Antarctic has actually seen an increasing trend, I think that the whole 30-year change in the Arctic sea ice area cannot be attributed to a trend i.e. it cannot be blindly extrapolated so my estimate for an ice-free summer is actually much longer than 90 years even if there is an underlying trend.
