Psychoanalyse this dupe instead | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Well, “if” that evidence were indeed overwhelming, sceptics like me would be, well, overwhelmed.

But on that false presumption, or evasion, the writer proceeds to psychoanalyse the people he claims don’t look at the evidence of which he himself seems stunningly ignorant.

Climategate: not news to me, says Shaviv | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog

Brilliant young astrophysicist Professor Nir Shaviv says he’s not surprised at all by Climategate, whether it’s the revelation that data was destroyed to prevent checking, or evidence that sceptics were blocked from publication

Global Warming Revolt - WSJ.com

The global revolt keeps building against carbon cap and trade, not that you'd know it from the U.S. media. First the U.S. Senate postpones its bill, next countries meeting in Copenhagen this month can't agree on emissions cuts, then emails among climate scientists reveal rigged peer-review, and now comes a political uprising in Australia that may doom a carbon tax down under.

By the end of the century, streamflow is likely to be radically disrupted, rendering many of the state’s dams obsolete, according to Mr. Maurer.

Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: CDM Halts China Wind Projects

What does this mean? If Michael Wara's assertion is taken as in fact the case then the EU has sent to China $1 billion in support of actions that would have occurred anyway. This means that the EU is able to claim credit for reducing emissions by about the equivalent of 2 years worth of Portugal's emissions (EEA data), but from a global perspective nothing has actually happened differently than it would have otherwise. Except of course for that transfer of $1 billion from the EU to China.

[Climate realism exploding; Will Heaven not happy] – Telegraph Blogs

Blimey, I’ve just seen the Telegraph’s blog figures for the last week. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that James Delingpole is on the fringes of the global warming debate. He’s bloody not. In fact, as the (top secret) figures show, he’s amassing a vast army of climate change sceptics behind him, who think that anthropogenic global warming is a worldwide conspiracy between climatologists and politicians. Climategate – the furore surrounding some very dodgy emails exchanged by leading scientists at East Anglia’s CRU – has become their pièce de résistance.
...
But what with the remarkable response to my post on Sunday and Delingpole’s weekly figures, it’s beginning to dawn on me quite how serious this all is: unbelievable numbers of Right-wing Brits and, yes, Right-wing Americans truly believe that global warming is a Left-wing conspiracy; that it was concocted by scientists with a hidden global agenda, corrupted by the skewed will of their puppeteering political masters. It sounds bonkers because it is.

CRU ClimateGate Scandal Continues, One Head Rolls

Heaven seems to be applying a classic logical bait-and-switch — he’s ignoring the very reason the science is being questioned, which is the emails which suggest that the “experts” were up to something hinky.
