The Smoking Gun At Darwin Zero « Watts Up With That?

Yikes again, double yikes! What on earth justifies that adjustment? How can they do that? We have five different records covering Darwin from 1941 on. They all agree almost exactly. Why adjust them at all? They’ve just added a huge artificial totally imaginary trend to the last half of the raw data! Now it looks like the IPCC diagram in Figure 1, all right … but a six degree per century trend? And in the shape of a regular stepped pyramid climbing to heaven? What’s up with that?

Those, dear friends, are the clumsy fingerprints of someone messing with the data Egyptian style … they are indisputable evidence that the “homogenized” data has been changed to fit someone’s preconceptions about whether the earth is warming.

C3: The Climate Liars: UK Political Elites Perpetuate The Climate Science Fraud By Claiming Temperatures Are Accelerating

Alligators basking off Sweden? Can you imagine being represented by such blithering idiots? Either the UK populace is incredibly dense, or it's a case of the UK leaders being so revenue starved they will say anything.

Bob Carter: Kill the IPCC

The IPCC is the official UN body that has presided over this fiasco. It is an organisation that was specifically set up to provide advice to national governments (including Australia's) for their use in setting climate policy. The IPCC's incompetence is manifest in its failure to detect the corrupt science that has for so long permeated the activities of the international jetsetters of the climate science power group. The organisation should be closed down (without tears), and the Copenhagen COP-15 meeting would be a good place to start this process happening.

That the global warming scare should turn out to be precisely the scam that climate rationalists have been banging on about for years is shocking enough; many future PhD theses and books will undoubtedly be written about it. Yet it is but the tip of the iceberg so far as the public prostitution of science is concerned. Climategate being currently in full swing, the obvious question is when (not if) the parallel Reefgate, Murraygate and Fishgate scandals will erupt in Australia?

Northwest cold spell to last all week

McFarland says this is the kind of freeze-your-pipes cold that only hits Western Washington once or twice a winter, typically.

Copenhagen: the AGW druids at Copenhagen know they are on a losing wicket and it shows – Telegraph Blogs

The evidence is all around us. Take last weekend’s global warming demonstration in London. It was attended by 20,000 people. In today’s climate of internet communication to organise protests, is that a credible figure reflecting public concern over a global crisis? The Countryside March attracted 407,000 people, the Anti-War in Iraq march 750,000. Subtract from the climate change marchers the smellies who will turn out to bang tin cans to protest against globalisation or global warming indifferently, how much of the British public was galvanised by planetary concern?

“They have science and momentum on their side,” lied a supposedly neutral, but blatantly biased, BBC commentator. In reality, they have neither. Copenhagen is the high watermark of the AGW scam: after this it has nowhere to go but down.

Sammy Wilson, the Northern Ireland minister at odds with the world’s climate experts in Copenhagen

Yet, here in Northern Ireland, former Environment Minister Sammy Wilson insists his climate-sceptic views now represent the majority opinion following a number of polls suggesting most people do not believe in man-made climate change.

telegraphjournal.com - Copenhagen meets Climategate: a skeptic's view | Ian L. McQueen - Breaking News, New Brunswick, Canada

Don't believe claims that "the science is settled." It isn't. Consensus counts only in politics. Remember Galileo and Pasteur, whose research showed the prevailing ideas of the age to be wrong. The opposite of sceptical is gullible.

We can only hope that world leaders will come to their senses and do nothing in Copenhagen.

Pagasa: Temperature in Baguio at 11 degrees, still dropping

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration forecaster Elvie Enriquez said that last Monday’s temperature in the city was the coldest so far this year.

“Last Monday we recorded the coldest temperature in Baguio thus far at 11 degrees Celsius. We expect it to go down further and it may reach the record low set in 1961, at 6.3 degrees," Enriquez said in an interview on dzBB radio.

Low temps tonight could tie record

WENATCHEE — Low temperatures tonight in the Wenatchee area are forecast to be from 1 to 6 degrees below zero — cold enough to tie or break the record low of minus 1 set in 1972, according to the National Weather Service.
...
Crews this morning recorded a summit temperature of 11 degrees below zero at Mission Ridge with wind gusts of 58 to 73 mph.

Winds of that speed makes a temperature of minus 11 feel like more than 48 degrees below zero, according to wind-chill conversion tables.

The EPA's long-overdue climate change ruling -- latimes.com

More important, the EPA action sends a strong message to the Senate, where progress on a crucial climate bill has stalled. The cap-and-trade system created by the bill is a market-based method for cutting carbon that would be less expensive to industry and consumers than the direct regulatory approach taken by the EPA. In other words: If you don't like cap-and-trade, you'll like the alternative less. That's something even science-denying obstructionists ought to be able to understand.
