UN chief: Time to stop climate finger-pointing

COPENHAGEN — Rich and poor countries must "stop pointing fingers" and increase their pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions to salvage the faltering talks on a global warming pact, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday.

Weather and Climate Through the Eyes of Mark Vogan: 50 below zero air too close for comfort?

With the low angled sun, abundant and increasing snowcover and a likely western ridge building across the Western US and Canada over the next 5-10 days, that truely ferocious air must go somewhere and I'm affraid to say if you don't like cold, your not going to like the next 4-8 weeks which could be the worst 4-8 week period from the Lakes to Southeast coast in a decade. That cold bottled and bruatalising the West of Canada is going nowhere other than the US, only question is, how cold will we see?

Townhall.com Blog : Greg Hengler : Obama's Great Temptation at Copenhagen

Put aside all the serious fights over the climate science, the astronomical costs associated with capping carbon emissions, the endless demands for carbon reparations, compliance and verification, etc., the only question that really matters this week at the Copenhagen Conference on climate change is whether President Obama is really going to end up corrupting the American constitutional system in front of the entire world.

The Temperature Tax - TierneyLab Blog - NYTimes.com

Should climate policy be set by the climate? In my Findings column, I discuss a proposal by Ross McKitrick to impose penalties on carbon emissions that would be pegged to the temperature in the atmosphere near the equator — if it goes up, so does the penalty for using carbon. I’m impressed with its potential for forcing both sides in the climate debate to make serious forecasts — to essentially bet on the future instead of issuing attention-grabbing predictions. But I’ve asked some other experts to critique it, and I’d like to hear your thoughts, too.

C3: Evidence of Significant Global Warming 200 Years Before Massive Modern Output of Human CO2, Peer-Research Finds

s Copenhagen climate alarmists always attempt to focus the debate on a short period of warming starting in the mid-1970's, it's always important to remind them that a major "global warming" has been happening since the end of the Little Ice Age, and it has absolutely no relationship to human CO2. It is natural warming that periodically asserts itself despite human wishes and actions.
