Why Russia Doesn’t Care About Copenhagen » The Foundry

MOSCOW - The rest of the world’s passions may be boiling over in Copenhagen this week, but Russia is paying no attention.

There is an impression that the government and public opinion – quite in the classical liberal laissez faire spirit - share the conclusion that global warming has a moderate and non-unprecedented nature, its impact on human health and wildlife is largely positive and that carbon emissions are hardly the primary factor in climate shaping. Thus, it is not a crisis and there is no need to resort to massive cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.

I calculate that this is a factor of 10 greater than the change in reflected sunlight that results from the 0.1% modulation of the total solar irradiance during the solar cycle.

Any value for carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere greater than 350 parts per million is not compatible “with the planet on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted.”

Bill Scher: Memo To Politico: "ClimateGate" Is A Flop

The "Climategate" cranks will surely be an annoyance throughout Copenhagen, but they have yet to become a substantive distraction. A better headline from Politico would have been: "Debunked Psuedo-Scandal Sputters Out At Copenhagen."

Scientists Help Ranchers Wrangle Carbon Emissions : NPR

As the world's climate negotiators meet in Copenhagen to discuss how to curb global warming, some people in Marin County, Calif., may already have a partial solution. They call it "carbon ranching."
...
That's where a carbon market comes in. If a climate law is passed, industries will be looking for ways to reduce their carbon "footprint." Paying farmers to soak up carbon in their pastures could be one way to do that.

As for the time and know-how, there's a new office in the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington designed to create a market for exchanges like that. "The potential for landowners is huge" when it comes to carbon ranching, says Sally Collins, director of the new USDA Office of Ecosystem Services and Markets.

Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: The Not True Trick

Over at The Huffington Post, Stanford's Steve Schneider makes this remarkable claim:

The amazing scientific thing that nobody seems to be covering is that the "hockey stick" was never used as proof of anthropogenic global warming by IPCC

This statement is just not true (maybe that will help to explain why no one seems to be covering it).
...
If climate scientists want to regain lost credibility, and indeed not see it diminish further, they are going to have to stop playing the rest of us for fools. One way to do that is avoid saying things that are not true.
