The Reference Frame: UAH MSU: temperatures for 2009 and ranking

Among these 15 years, 2009 will be cooler than 1998, 2005, 2002, 2007, 2003, and maybe 2006, so it will be just the 6th or 7th warmest year - pretty much exactly in the middle of the last 15 years' scoreboard. A global warming trend continues to be absent despite the very strong El Nino episode that has been affecting the weather for more than half a year and that may match the 1998 El Nino of the century in the near future.

If there were some significant or urgent global warming, you would expect the record to be broken almost every year: that's what increasing functions like to do. However, it's been the 11th year in a row when the record reading wasn't rewritten. And according to UAH, 2009 was 0.25 °C below 1998.

EDITORIAL: Obama's cold day in Denmark - Washington Times

The only reason China gives lip service to the global-warming alarmist agenda is to hamper the competition - and our Democratic president is falling for the trap. Mr. Obama pledged that the United States would move forward with strict emissions limits whether or not the international community did the same. From Beijing's perspective, if the foolish Americans want to wreck their economy based on the misguided belief that they are saving polar bears, who is China to say no?

EDITORIAL: Carbon class warfare - Washington Times

We don't think made-made global warming is a problem. However, those who do should open their eyes and focus on the real enemies of humanity: socialism, atheism, poverty and dictatorships - not carbon dioxide.

EDITORIAL: The green dictatorship - Washington Times

To call the eco-friendly posturing of Third World dictators a farce is to understate the scandal. That the audience greeted such self-serving insanity with applause and that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Obama sanctified the gathering with their presence exposes a dark side to the green agenda. Global-warming theology is not just a fraud; it attacks freedom and encourages dictatorship.

C3: The Climate Liars of Copenhagen, Pt. 1: Global Temperatures Are "Accelerating"

There are several lies that public officials, "scientists," and activists used over and over in an attempt to build support within the mainstream media and the public. One of the principal lies that was very effective with the press and leftist pundits, but not with the public, was that global temperatures are "accelerating" and will reach climate model tipping points in the very near future. As the U.S. climate agency data reveals below, "accelerated warming" is a flat-out lie.

CapitalClimate: Washington DC Breaks December Snow Record

5 pm Update: Dulles now reports 15" on the ground; no increase at National. This puts Dulles close to the second highest December monthly total of 15.9" in 1969. The December record is 24.2" in 1966.

Another Prolonged and Solemn Farce, Finally Reaching the End of the Road - Steven Hayward - Planet Gore on National Review Online

Taking the long view, I expect that 20 or 30 years from now, environmentalists will look back on global warming (no matter what actually happens with or to the climate) as the issue that ate their movement alive, and Copenhagen as the turning point.

The EPA's Power Grab

The climate campaign, built step-by-step over the last 20 years, has reached its Waterloo.
...
The Carlin/Davidson document and the emails were leaked to the Competitive Enterprise Institute in June, but attracted only scant media attention. In light of the scandal surrounding the East Anglia emails, however, the newly urgent demand for transparency in the climate science and policy process may shine unwelcome new light into the dark corners of EPA's politically driven agenda. There will certainly be new fodder for litigation challenging the EPA's endangerment finding, which will involve reopening basic questions of climate science to judicial review. What was "settled" is about to become unsettled. In other words, in hoping to use the EPA's Clean Air Act club to bully Congress into passing cap and trade, the -climate campaign may have made its biggest blunder yet.
