I Love CO2: Obama's State of the Union Speech Brushes Aside "Climate Change"
Finally, Obama's getting the message that most people realize cap-and-tax is nothing more than a scam. In fact, he attempted to (quickly) sell his climate bill for reasons OTHER than alleged climate change. All in all, climate change took a back seat and only appeared for a few seconds out of his 70 minute speech. Hopefully it will soon be out of the backseat and tossed in the trash where it belongs.
Meteorologists agree: man-made warming isn’t real | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
What would 121 meteorologists know about the weather, anyway?
...
Only 45 percent disagree with Weather Channel cofounder John Colemans strongly worded statement, Global warming is a scam.
Temperature and CO2 feedback loop 'weaker than thought'
Warmist scientists know that CO2 has been rising for many years now with no correlated rise in temperatures, and they are scratching to explain it. So they turn to their usual proxies to generate an explanation. But tree-ring proxies for temperature are garbage -- even the CRU would not use them from 1960 on -- because they DON'T correlate with temperature. So this is just a measured retreat. They say that CO2 is a weaker influence than thought but are not yet ready to go the whole hog and say that there is NO effect of CO2 on temperatures
NASA - Arctic 'Melt Season' Is Growing Longer, New Research Demonstrates
New NASA-led research shows that the melt season for Arctic sea ice has lengthened by an average of 20 days over the span of 28 years, or 6.4 days per decade. The finding stems from scientists' work to compile the first comprehensive record of melt onset and freeze-up dates -- the "melt season" -- for the entire Arctic.
...
To examine melt season length, Markus and colleagues used data from satellite passive microwave sensors, which can "see" indications of melt. The result is an accurate account of the melt seasons from 1979 to 2007.  [Hypothetically, what if ice extent runs in a 30-year cycle, and you start measuring near the high and finish near the low?]
