EU Referendum: Amazongate lives
...Against that, I measure well over 2,000 references to "Amazongate" on the blogosphere, leaving the MSM trailing. When it comes to the heavy lifting, the MSM is making itself redundant.

Weather and Climate Through the Eyes of Mark Vogan: Well below normal!
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - Despite a warm start to December 2009 and warm last two weeks of January 2010 we are running as of today an impressive -5.6 degrees F below normal for the first 62 days of Meteorological Winter which runs from Dec 1 through Feb 28.
Open letter to Senator Mark Begich Are you aware that glaciers are growing in Alaska? from Robert W. Felix | Climate Realists
According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), glaciers are growing in Alaska for the first time in 250 years. In May, Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier was advancing at the rate of seven feet per day - more than half-a-mile per year. And in Icy Bay, at least three glaciers have advanced one-third of a mile in one year, said Chris Larsen, a scientist at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Senator Begich, I wish you would ask the USGS for a list of glaciers in Alaska, and ask them to tell you – honestly - which ones are growing. I have a feeling that there are more glaciers growing in Alaska than any of us have been told.

Elsewhere, some voices have called for there to be a separate climate sceptics' report. On one hand, this misses the point. If the sceptics' science was good enough to be published in decent, peer-reviewed journals, it would be considered alongside everything else by the IPCC. But on the other hand, subjecting the deniers to the same degree of rigorous review as everyone else is a rather delicious prospect. If that was done, the final report would likely be short indeed.
New Zealand joins Copenhagen climate change accord - Yahoo! News
Climate Change Minister Nick Smith said New Zealand had submitted its original conditional target range of 10 percent to 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2020.

The target is conditional on a global agreement being reached that sets the world on a path to limit global temperature rises to not more than two degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit), other countries making comparable efforts to New Zealand, and there being effective rules governing land use and forestry.
