A question of temperature | The SPPI Blog

...it is no particular surprise that, after 300 years’ “global warming”, the warmest years will occur at the end of the period. For almost all of those 300 years, we cannot have been to blame for the warming. Even in the 20 years we could have influenced – 1980-2000 – a natural reduction in cloud cover caused at least four times as much warming as all of our greenhouse-gas emissions over the period added together.

U.N. abandons climate change goal deadline but holds U.S. to its pledge

An American public already wary of cap and trade legislation and always leery of the United Nations is unlikely to view de Boer’s statement favorably. The political landscape in the United States has shifted greatly since one year ago when Obama took office.

The most far-reaching effect of Scott Brown’s upset victory in the Massachusetts senatorial election is likely to be on the world’s attempts to combat global warming. It will make it very much harder for a climate and energy bill – primarly promoted, as it happens, by the other senator from the hitherto famously liberal state, John Kerry – to pass the Senate, and that, in turn, would bedevil attempts to revive the prospects for a new international treaty after the fiasco in Copenhagen.

NASA GISS a temperature outlier again – this time for the southern hemisphere « Watts Up With That?
