EU Referendum: Money talking
Currently, we have diverse warmists pouring scorn – as they do – on the idea that thousands of "scientists" are somehow part of a grand conspiracy, but that is wilfully to distort the way academia works.An Important Study On The Role Of Station Siting On Surface Temperatures – “Effects Of Simulated Grazing On Soil Temperature, Moisture, And Respiration On A Shortgrass Steppe In Northeastern Colorado” By Jennifer Wolchansky « Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.
Basically, it is bought and paid for – it will follow the money. If you have €914 million on offer to those prepared to "identify and assess the adverse effects of human activity" on the climate, hundreds and thousands of "scientists" will dutifully fill in their grant applications, proposing to do precisely that. Those who do not conform fall by the wayside – they simply do not get funded.
The effect on the surface temperature trends as more bare ground is gradually exposed for whatever reason would result in a warming trend that can be misinterpreted as a larger scale surface temperature trend. Similarly, a gradual reduction in bare soil coverage due to revegetation, would result in a cooling trend, which could similarly be misinterpreted as a larger scale cooling.The sound of alarm - Richard S.

KERRY EMANUEL’S Feb. 15 op-ed “Climate changes are proven fact’’ is more advocacy than assessment. Vague terms such as “consistent with,’’ “probably,’’ and “potentially’’ hardly change this. Certainly climate change is real; it occurs all the time. To claim that the little we’ve seen is larger than any change we “have been able to discern’’ for a thousand years is disingenuous.Getting it partly right on weather vs. climate | GlobalWarming.org
In fact, time and again cold weather and its fall-out, including blizzards, have been attributed to “global climate change.”Agreement Reached on Klamath River - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com
Four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River in Oregon and Northern California will be removed under an agreement that ends decades of fighting between fishermen, farmers, environmental and Native American groups over water and fishing rights.Wouldn't it create more green jobs if we continuously constructed and then dismantled these dams every five years or so?
...
It will cost an estimated $450 million to remove the dams.

Over 10 years, the Klamath Basin will be restored at a cost of $1 billion, paid for by the federal government.
